PLACING A CALL

To place an outgoing call, choose one of the following options:

  1. Dial a number on the keypad, then press the Talk, OK, or Speakerphone key.

Calls placed from your Intulse app when your Virtual Phone is disabled will begin from a connected physical device. When you enter the name or number in the app and click the call button, any enabled desk phones assigned to your extension will also ring. When you pick up the call on one of those devices, you will hear the outgoing ringtone because the system is in the process of calling the intended party.

Answering a Second Incoming Call

If Call Waiting is enabled on your phone AND your Intulse app, you can answer an incoming call even if you are currently on an active call. A call waiting tone will alert you of the new call and the incoming caller ID details will be displayed on your phone.

  1. Use the navigation pad to highlight the incoming call.

Note: Call Waiting must be enabled to utilize this feature.

HOLDING & RESUMING CALLS

You can place an active call on hold and resume the call when you are ready. When you place a call on hold, the held party will hear the music or recording selected by your system administrator.

Holding a Call

Placing an active call on hold is simple.

Press the Options softkey and navigate to Hold. Press OK and the caller will be placed on hold.

  • The phone will beep softly every 30 seconds to remind you that you still have a call on hold.
Resuming a Held Call

You can easily view and resume any calls place on hold.

  1. Press the Resume softkey to pick up a call that has been placed on hold.
  2. If multiple calls are placed on hold, use the Swap key or navigation pad to navigate to the call you would like to select.

TRANSFERRING A CALL

During a call, you can transfer the call to another extension using one of the following methods:

  1. Blind Transfer: Transfer a call directly to the new extension without any interaction.
  2. Semi-Attended Transfer: This places the caller on hold and allows you to hear a ringback tone before transferring the call. If the user at that extension isn't available, you can retrieve the caller from hold.
  3. Attended Transfer: This puts the caller on hold, allowing you to communicate with the intended recipient before the call is transferred.

Note: Many organizations use call parking instead of transfers because it's an easier way to move a call to other users.

Performing a BLIND Transfer

A blind transfer sends the caller to another extension without any interaction between the person transferring the call and the extension receiving the transfer.

  1. Press the Transfer key during an active call.
  2. Dial the extension for the receiving party.
  3. Press Transfer and the call will be immediately transferred to the recipient.
Performing a SEMI-ATTENDED or ATTENDED Transfer

A semi-attended transfer places the caller on hold and allows you to hear a ringback tone before transferring the call. If the user at that extension isn't available, you can retrieve the caller from hold. An attended transfer puts the caller on hold so you can communicate with the intended recipient prior to the call being transferred.

  1. Press the Transfer key and the active caller is placed on hold.
  2. Dial the extension for the receiving party.
  3. Press OK.
  4. For a SEMI-ATTENDED transfer, press the Transfer key again as soon as you hear the ringback tone.
  5. For an ATTENDED transfer, wait for the intended recipient to answer. The caller has been placed on hold, allowing you to communicate with the intended recipient. When you are ready to transfer the call, press the Transfer key again and the transfer will be complete.

Note: If you wish to move calls around while having the opportunity to speak with the destination before they receive the call, then Intulse recommends using call parking instead of attended transfers in most cases.

To transfer a call directly to a voicemail, enter an asterisk before the extension number. For example, to transfer a call to the voicemail for extension 107, perform a transfer to *107.

CALL PARKING

Call parking makes the process of moving calls to different extensions within your organization much easier. Calls are placed on hold by assigning them to a "parking space". Any user can retrieve a call from the parking lot by pressing the corresponding line key on any phone connected to your system.

For example, let's suppose that John answers many incoming calls during the day. John may need to send some of those calls to his manager, James. John can park a call in a space and call or message James to let him know that a caller is holding for him in Park 71. James can answer that call from any phone connected to their Intulse system. If James is unable to answer the call, John or anyone else in their organization can retrieve it. If no one picks it up, the call will eventually ring back to the person who parked it.

Parking a Call

Parking a call in a parking lot is simple and can be accomplished in a few simple steps.

  1. While on an active call, press Transfer.
  2. Dial the parking spot number, usually 71 through 78.
  3. Press Transfer again.
Retrieving a Parked Call

Parked calls can easily be retrieved from any phone connected to your Intulse phone system.

  1. Dial the parking spot number where the call is parked.
  2. Press the Talk or OK key and the call will immediately become active on your device.

MULTIWAY/CONFERENCE CALLING

We will cover how to merge a few calls together here, but Intulse offers an Audio Bridge solution, which is what we recommend for more than 3 callers.

Multiway Calling, or creating a phone call between 3 callers, can be accomplished by following these steps:

  1. Place a call to the first party.
  2. When the first party answers, select Options and scroll down to Conference. The first caller is placed on hold.
  3. Place a call to the second party.
  4. When the second party answers, select Conference again to merge the two callers into one multiway call.
Merging Two Active Calls into a Conference

You can also invite a held call into a conference call with an active call. Let's assume you have two calls on your phone that you want to merge into one conference call.

  1. Select the first caller so one of your calls is active.
  2. While on that active call, select Options and scroll down to Conference.
  3. Press OK and your calls are now merged into one conference call.
Ending a Conference Call

When you are ready to end the conference call, you have the choice to split the callers into separate individual calls, or completely end the call.

  • To split them into individual calls, press the Split softkey. Both callers have now been placed on hold.
  • If you press the End key, the call will be terminated for all parties.

For more information please see the Conference Calling Guide.

ACCESSING THE VOICEMAIL SYSTEM

The following will cover how to access the voicemail system from your phone. Intulse has a complete guide on how to use the voicemail system. For more information please see the Voicemail User Guide.

Accessing your Personal Voicemail

Accessing the voicemail for your extension is simple.

  1. Press the message key (). The screen will display how many unheard messages there are for your mailbox.
  2. Press OK and enter your Voicemail Pin and, optionally, press the pound (#) sign.
  3. The default pin for any voicemail box is the extension number. If you have not reset your pin, you will be prompted to do so the first time you check it. The pin for your voicemail can be found on the voicemail settings tab in the Intulse App.
