Introduction
This manual describes how to use the CONVERSip EP100 endpoint,
models EP100G-L12 and EP100G-I12.
This manual is intended to provide:
• basic knowledge of the functions and features of the EP100G-L12/
I12 LCD user interface.
• step-by-step procedures for processing calls and controlling
individual extension settings.
Audience Description
This manual is intended for persons who use CONVERSip EP100G-L12/
I12 endpoints on a day-to-day basis.
You should:
• read this manual in normal reading sequence before first using the
EP100G-L12/I12 User Interface.
• refer to this manual as necessary while modifying your endpoint
settings.
Related Publications
This manual refers you to related publications, when appropriate, for
additional information.
Conventions Used in this Manual
Many of the procedures require you to enter settings or to choose from a
list of variables. To signify when you are to act upon an item, parameter,
button, etc. we italicize the name of the item being acted upon. For
example, the following sentences instruct you to press a specific key on
your keyboard.
• Press Enter.
• Press Esc.
• Press Page Up or Page Down.
• Press and hold the Shift and Ctrl keys simultaneously.
In contrast, the following sentence instructs you to type in a required
response; notice the word “Enter” when used in this way is not italicized
because you are not pushing a specific key name.
• Enter the value you want to use for this feature.
Similarly, when you select a button or LCD menu option, we italicize the
name of the button/menu item because you are required to take the action
of choosing it, even though the item may not appear in italics on the end-
point or display.
• Use the arrow keys to highlight Programming and press Enter.
At other times in the manual, we discuss prompts that the system displays
to you. In these cases, we enclose the exact wording of the prompt in
quotation marks to signify that the system is, in essence, speaking to you.
• The system prompts, “Enter your password now.”
If the system is actually playing a recording aloud, we enclose the exact
wording of the prompt in quotation marks and italics to signify that the
system is in actually speaking to you.
• The system says, “You have no more new messages.”
Italics and quotes are also of course used in their normal contexts, that is,
for emphasis and to identify what words are spoken.
• This is called a hot transfer, that is, the system transfers the call
without ringing the extension.
There are times when this manual instructs you to enter a number from
within a range of numbers. In this instance, we use the “~ “ character to
indicate the range. For example, 05-01-1~3-001~100 tells you to enter:
• 05
• 01
• a 1, 2, or 3,
• a three-digit number that falls in the 001 to 100 range.

1.3 Using the Large Screen Display
Your EP100G-L12/EP100G-I12 has a large screen display consisting
of six lines of 24 possible character positions per line. This provides
you with much more system information than can be presented on
two-line displays. This large display allows you many programming
options as well as quick and easy selection of the many features
available on your EP100G-L12/EP100G-I12. Your Speakerphone
has 13 interactive buttons for selecting or programming features.
When your speakerphone is idle,
the first line in your display shows
the day, date and time while the
sixth line displays the word
OPTIONS. If your system is using
the voice mail option, this is also
indicated in the sixth line by the
word VMAIL. If your voice mail
has four messages for you, for
example, the VMAIL display is
replaced by 4MSG.
Lines two through four are used on
the idle display to indicate features that may be active (flashing),
enabled or set.
1.4 Setting Up Your Speakerphone
When your new EP100G-L12 or EP100G-I12 arrives, the system
installer unpacks it and connects the line to a system jack. You may
need to make a few initial adjustments so you can quickly begin
making and answering calls with some of the most basic features.
1.4.1 POSITIONING YOUR SPEAKERPHONE
You should adjust the position of the EP100G-L12/EP100G-I12 on
your desk or table to suit your individual needs, and maximize the
performance of the sound activated features. When using your
EP100G-L12/EP100G-I12, the microphone and loudspeaker are
farther from you than when you use a handset. Some positioning tips
to consider include:
• For the microphone to best detect your voice, speak within three
feet of it and face the EP100G-L12/EP100G-I12.
• Background noise may prevent the sound-activated switches
from operating properly. Avoid placing the EP100G-L12/
EP100G-I12 where it will detect sounds from keyboards,
printers, paging systems, or other equipment.
• Place the endpoint on a hard surface and away from table edges.
Do not place the endpoint in corners or enclosures. Do not let
obstructions come between you and the microphone.
• Your endpoint has an adjustable pedestal to allow you to select
the most comfortable viewing angle. When you receive the
endpoint, the pedestal is in its lowest position flush against the
pedestal.

To adjust the pedestal, perform the fol-
lowing steps.
1. Grasp the rear of the pedestal
base firmly with one hand and
lift the rear portion of the end-
point upward with your other
hand.
2. Lift the endpoint upward with
one hand and raise the endpoint
supporting arms upward with
your other hand. (Notice there are three sets of notches under
the endpoint corresponding to the three positions available.)
3. When the endpoint is at the desired height, select the closest
pair of notches and insert the supporting arms in the notches.
Press down slightly on the endpoint until you feel the support-
ing arms snap into place.

1.4.5 SETTING VOLUME LEVELS
The volume control on your endpoint
is a multipurpose control you can use
to set the volume (loudness) of the
ringer, the speaker, and the handset.
There are four ringer loudness levels
(plus an off position).
To set the ringer loudness level,
perform the following steps.

2. ANSWERING CALLS
2.1 Answering Outside Calls
When an outside call rings at your station, the LCD screen displays
the system line number of the incoming call (e.g., L123) and any
caller ID information that your ringing line is programmed to receive.
In addition to simply lifting the handset, your other options for
answering the call are displayed above the interactive buttons.
When you hear outside ringing
(two long bursts) and observe an
orange flashing light, perform the
following steps.
1. For speakerphone, press the
flashing line button or select
Answer and speak toward the
endpoint.
2. For privacy, lift the handset.
3. Select Do Not Disturb if you
do not wish to answer the
call at this time. (Selecting Do Not Disturb stops your end-
point from ringing but continues to send a ringing tone to the
caller.) The associated BLF continues to flash until the caller
disconnects.
When you hear outside ringing (two long bursts) and observe a red
flashing light, perform the following steps.
1. Press the flashing line button or select Answer.
2. Speak toward the endpoint or lift the handset if you want pri-
vacy.
3. Select Do Not Disturb if you do not wish to answer the call at
this time. Note: For more information on setting Do Not Dis-
turb at your station, see Section 7.3, Do Not Disturb Condition.

2.2 Answering Intercom (Internal) Calls
An intercom call is one that is made from one system endpoint to
another. Your station receives intercom calls in one of two ways
depending upon system programming.
• In a voice-first setting, a short tone is followed by the caller’s
voice heard on the speaker.
• With a tone-first setting, the endpoint rings in a distinctive
pattern and you must take action to answer the call.
As with an outside call, your LCD screen displays the line number of
the incoming call (e.g., L123) and any caller ID information that the
ringing line is programmed to receive.
When you hear an intercom tone followed by the caller’s voice, speak
toward the endpoint to answer, or lift the handset if you want privacy.
When you hear intercom ringing
(two short bursts), perform the fol-
lowing steps.

4. Speak toward the endpoint or lift the handset if you want
prvacy.
2.5.3 MONITORED STATION PICKUP
Your endpoint may have the personal intercom number of another
endpoint appearing at a programmable button location. You can use
the light associated with this button to monitor the status of that end-
point, and you can press the button to make a call to that endpoint if
you wish. The associated light is known as the Busy Lamp Field
(BLF) light, and the button is known as the Direct Station Select
(DSS) button. If the installer arranged for your endpoint to have the
station monitoring feature, the BLF light shows activity status at the
monitored endpoint.
To monitor another endpoint, observe the BLF light indications next
to the DSS/BLF button.
• Off = Station is idle.
• Flashing (if enabled) = Station has an incoming call.
• On = Station is busy.
Note: If you do not have the station monitoring feature, the BLF light
shows: Off = idle, On = busy.
To call an idle monitored station or to answer one that is ringing, note
the BLF light condition. Then press the assigned DSS/BLF button.
Speak toward the endpoint, or lift the handset if you want privacy.
Note: If you place this call on hold or if you transfer it to another
endpoint, the BLF light flashes a hold signal. You can retrieve the
call by pressing TAP.
2.6 Receiving Subdued Off-Hook
Voice Announcements (SOHVA)
2.6.1 HANDLING AN INCOMING SOHVA
This feature allows an intercom caller to break into your call by
making an announcement through your handset receiver. The distant
party that you are currently talking to cannot hear the announcement
made by the SOHVA caller. You can respond to the SOHVA caller
either verbally, or non-verbally using Response Messaging.
To respond to a SOHVA verbally,
perform the following steps.
1. Select and hold REPLY.
2. Speak into the handset. The
distant party cannot hear
your response.
3. Press REPLY after response
is complete to return to dis-
tant party.
To respond to a SOHVA non ver-
bally using Response Messaging, perform the following steps.
1. Select Message.
2. Select one of the messages
appearing in your LCD by
selecting the corresponding
interactive button. The mes-
sage then appears in the dis-
play of the endpoint making
the SOHVA.
3. Continue your current call
with distant party. (The sys-
tem automatically disconnects the SOHVA caller from your
endpoint).

To respond to a SOHVA by blocking, select BLOCK when you hear
SOHVA tone. The system then disconnects the SOHVA call. See
Section 2.6.2, Voice Announce Blocking for more information.
Note: A station that is currently active in speakerphone mode or has
Voice Announce Block set CANNOT receive a SOHVA.
2.6.2 VOICE ANNOUNCE BLOCKING
If your system installer makes this feature available, you can prevent
voice announcements from sounding over your endpoint speaker if
you wish. This feature also blocks Subdued Off-Hook Voice
Announcements (SOHVA) and therefore refuses any attempted
SOHVAs.
To block (unblock) all voice-
announced calls, perform the fol-
lowing steps.
1. Select OPTIONS.
2. Select Programming.
3. Select Voice Announce
Block.
4. Select ON to block voice
announcements, or OFF to
unblock them.
5. Select EXIT to end. Caller ID (Automatic Number Identifica-
tion)
When installed by system programming, the Caller ID feature allows
you to view incoming call numbers before you answer them.
Incoming call numbers flash in the left half of the LCD. If the name
of the calling party is available it displays in the second half on the
right side of the LCD. If you answer the call, the number appears
steady in the left half of the LCD.
The system also stores numbers that ring on your line but receive no
answer. The system indicates that it has stored ring-no answer
numbers by flashing the programmed Caller-ID (CID) light on your
endpoint. If you press the CID button you can view the stored
numbers one at a time. If you press the programmed SAVED
NUMBER REDIAL button, the system dials the displayed number. If
the call has been returned by someone else, select the T key to reveal
who returned the call. Everyone sharing your line can scroll through
the stored numbers and choose which calls to return.
To scroll through ring-no answer numbers stored on your system
(when the CID light is flashing), perform the following steps.
1. Select the CID button on your endpoint. Your LCD displays
the calling number, date, and time the call came in. The most
recent call appears first in the list.
2. Select the CID button each time you wish to display the next
most recent ring-no answer call to your line.
3. To dial one of the numbers in the redial queue, select the
SAVED NUMBER REDIAL button. The system automatically
dials the number.
Depending on your system programming, when a call is returned it
might remain in the ring-no answer queue, or the system might delete
it from the ring-no answer queue. Your system administrator can tell
you how the feature is programmed. If the system is programmed to
leave a returned number in the redial queue, the display shows an S
next to numbers that have been returned.
To determine who viewed the number and returned the call, dial *.

3.3 Automatic Dialing
This feature provides one- or two-button speed dialing using pro-
grammable buttons at which you have previously stored numbers.
Two levels of number storage are available at each storage location,
and you can use one or both levels as needed. Also, since you usually
store a line choice as part of a speed dial number, line selection is
automatic with speed dialing.
There are two types of speed dial numbers:
• numbers that you store for your own use (personal speed dial
numbers), and
• numbers that the system attendant stores for everyone’s use
(system speed dial numbers).
To use a programmed speed dial, press the programmed speed dial
button, or press SHIFT and programmed speed dial button.
To use a personal speed dial number, while on hook, dial the speed
dial number on the dial pad (0 to 9).

have made a screened transfer.
To screen and transfer a call to another
endpoint in the system, perform the
following steps.
1. Answer the call.
2. Press the TRNS/CONF button or
select Transfer (call is automati-
cally placed on hold).

endpoint you want to receive the
transfer, or press a DSS/BLF
button for that extension.
4. Announce the call when intercom party answers.
5. Press SPEAKER to disconnect (if in speakerphone mode), or
hang up.
The intercom party then has the call (if they answered the screened
transfer with the handset). If you announce the transfer over the
speaker, the intercom party’s telephone rings with the transferred call
after you hang up.
If the intercom party is busy, take one
of the following steps (if made
available at your endpoint by installer
programming).
• Select Reconnect to reconnect the
call to your station.

7.5 Tracker Paging System
When installed with your system, the Tracker Paging System option
allows you to send call back and parked call messages to Tracker
pagers assigned to station extension numbers. Along with the parked
call message, the system parks the call in orbit for retrieval by the
paged party. The type of message that the system delivers (either
alphanumeric or numeric-only) is dependent upon the Tracker pager
model in use at the station. When outside callers call into a system
that has both a Tracker Paging option and a voice mail option
installed, the system gives these callers the option of either leaving a
message or tracking the person that they are calling.
