Do-Not-Disturb Override
If your Inter-Tel endpoint is enabled for Do-Not-Disturb override and you hear Do-Not-Disturb
tones when placing an intercom call, you may use the following procedure to break through
Do-Not-Disturb and complete the call.
Do-Not-Disturb override (Inter-Tel endpoints with this feature enabled only):
When you hear Do-Not-Disturb tones while placing an intercom call, press the Special button
and enter the Do-Not-Disturb Override feature code (373). If the called station is idle, the call
rings as a private intercom call. If the called station is busy, your call camps on.
Remote Programming
The Remote Programming feature allows a user to place an endpoint in Do-Not-Disturb mode
(DND) or forward the station’s calls, or change the password; either from another station or
through DISA. Each station has a password to limit access to this feature. (See page 164 for
information about DISA.)
In a network, Remote Programming can be performed on one node for any Inter-Tel endpoint
that is programmed as an off-node device on that node. You must go through DISA for remote
programming of any endpoints that are not programmed as off-node devices.
Endpoint Password
The endpoint password is used only for the Remote Programming feature.
The endpoint password can be up to 8 digits in length. The default password is the extension
number of the endpoint. The password can be changed by entering the Program Station Pass-
word feature code at the endpoint or when using the Remote Programming feature. It can also
be programmed through Individual Endpoint programming.
If the password is changed from an endpoint, the user will be prompted for the old password,
then the new password, and will be asked to verify the new password. If it is programmed
through Remote Programming, the user will already have entered a correct password. In this
case, the user is prompted only for the new password and then asked to verify the password.
Should the verified password and new password not match, the old password will be retained
and the programming session canceled.
To change the station password from your station:
1. Enter the Program Station Password feature code (392). You hear a confirmation tone.
If you have a display, it shows ENTER PASSWORD.
2. Enter your current password, followed by #. (At default, it is your extension number.) If
you have a display, it shows NEW PASSWORD.
3. Enter the new password followed by . You hear a confirmation tone.
4. Enter the new password again for verification followed by . You hear a confirmation
tone. If you have a display, it shows PASSWORD SAVED. Your station returns to idle.
NOTE
To prevent unauthorized use of the call forward feature, all endpoints using
Remote Programming should have a password. To make the passwords difficult
to guess, they should not match the extension number or consist of one digit
repeated several times.
NOTE
If you enter an incorrect password, the display will show INVALID PASS-
WORD, and your endpoint will return to the idle state.
