Overview of EC500 Extension to Cellular
1-2 Issue 4 August 2002
What’s New in EC500 Release 4
EC500 Release 4 enhancements simplify administration and reduce costs. They
are:
■ ARS and AAR routing of EC500 calls (loopback trunk elimination)
Prior to EC500 R4 there were special loopback tie trunks used to relay
XMOBILE calls to a public network trunk.
In EC500 R4, calls to an XMOBILE station can be extended out of the PBX
directly over an ISDN trunk connected to the public network. This change
simplifies the administration of EC500. The end-user functionality is
unchanged. The regular ARS or AAR routing tables are used to select the
trunk for the EC500 call.
■ Enhancements to Call Detail Recording.
You can now choose whether or not to keep Call Detail Records for EC500
calls.
■ Call Filtering
This feature allows you to manage cellular phone costs by limiting the calls
extended to the cellular network for EC500 users. Customers can choose
to deliver, on a per-user basis, only external calls (from a customer), only
internal calls, all calls, or no calls.
■ EC500 Scheduler with Unified Communications Center (UCC)
The EC500 Scheduler service provides the user with an HTML
browser-based interface in which a user can administer entries and rules to
schedule events that turn EC500 ON or OFF. You can configure your
profile based on time and day of the week.
NOTE:
To run EC500 Scheduler Application, you need to purchase the
Unified Communications Center (UCC), version 1.0 or later, in
addition to EC500.
