Overview of EC500 Extension to
Cellular
Introduction
EC500 offers your users the freedom to work anywhere, anytime, using any type
of cellular or wireless phone. With EC500, calls to an office number are extended
to a cell phone, allowing users to receive work-related calls wherever they are and
whenever they need to. Additionally, the cell phone can be administered so that
when a user calls into the office, the user’s name and office telephone number
appear in the caller ID display of the phone being called. When the EC500 cell
phone is administered to send office caller ID, the user also has the option of
picking up an ongoing EC500 cell phone call on the office phone upon entering
the office.
The cell phone user receives the same features and capabilities for incoming calls
as a caller ID-enabled analog telephone connected directly to the DEFINITY or
Avaya Communications Server running MultiVantage software. EC500 provides
this capability regardless of the cell phone’s Cellular Service Provider or the
cellular standard in use.
This guide describes the high-level functions of EC500, hardware and software
requirements for implementation, and the installation, administration, and
maintenance tasks necessary to set up and maintain Release 4 of EC500
Extension to Cellular.
