Overview of EC500 Extension to Cellular
1-4 Issue 4 August 2002
Feature Description
EC500 allows a cell phone in an external network to be treated as if it were an
extension on the DEFINITY or Avaya Communications Server running
MultiVantage software. This is accomplished by administering the cell phone as
an XMOBILE bridge of the user’s main office number.
There are three modes in which an EC500 cell phone can be mapped to the
user’s main office number. The modes are used to control the degree of
integration between their cell phone and main office number. The modes are valid
for EC500 call only. That is, all calls to the user’s main office number when EC500
is enabled and calls from the cell phone into the user’s switch when EC500 is
enabled. All other types of calls, such as direct calls to and from the published cell
phone number are unaffected by EC500 and the user’s cell phone performs
exactly as it did prior to enabling it for EC500. These mapping modes are
administered on the XMOBILE Station screens.
1) EC500 Calls Terminating to the Cell Phone
This mode is achieved when the
Mapping Mode field on the XMOBILE Station
screen is set to
termination. Here, EC500 calls may terminate only to the remote
cell phone via routing from the bridged XMOBILE extension. Calls originating from
the cell phone are completely independent of EC500 and behave exactly as
before enabling EC500.
2) EC500 Calls Originating from the Cell Phone
This mode is achieved when the
Mapping Mode field on the XMOBILE Station
screen is set to
origination. Here, calls originating from the remote cell phone
into the user’s main switch are received by the XMOBILE bridged extension and
considered EC500 calls. These EC500 calls behave as if they were originated
from the user’s main office number and send office caller ID to the called party.
The sending of office caller ID always occurs for EC500 calls when the user has
origination mapping mode, regardless of whether EC500 is enabled or disabled.
3) EC500 Calls Both To and From the Cell Phone
This mode is achieved when the
Mapping Mode field on the XMOBILE Station
screen is set to
both. Here, EC500 calls may terminate to the remote cell phone
and calls originating from the remote cell phone into the user’s main switch are
considered EC500 calls. The EC500 cell phone sends office caller ID, while at the
same time keeping the cell phone Call Waiting capabilities in effect while receiving
calls. The sending of office caller ID always occurs for EC500 calls when the user
has
both mapping mode, regardless of whether EC500 is enabled or disabled.
