Installation and Planning

Administration Planning
In a typical EC500 configuration, the XMOBILE station, which is mapped to the
cell phone, is bridged to the principal published number, which is usually a user’s
office number. In order to support call waiting on the cell phone, two XMOBILE
stations which are mapped to the same cell phone are bridged to the two call
appearances of the office number. For example, XMOBILE Station One bridged to
call appearance One of the office number and XMOBILE Station Two bridged to
call appearance two of the office number. The second line appearance should be
administered to send office caller ID.
EC500 gives users control over whether to receive EC500 calls on their cell
phone. In Release 2, users have the ability to enable and disable all bridged
extensions with one phone call. As in Release 1, they still have the ability to
disable one extension at a time if desired.
Planning Requirements
EC500 users expect to receive the following information from the Administrator:
■ The Station Security Code associated with the office number.
■ The Change Station Security Code Feature Access Code.
■ EC500 Enable/Disable Feature Access Codes (EC500
Activation/Deactivation on the System Administration Terminal).
■ The Avaya EC500 Access Number (Telecommuting Access Number on the
System Administration Terminal).
In support of these requirements specify the following:
■ A Dial Plan for XMOBILE extensions.
■ An extension number for the Avaya EC500 Access Number.
■ EC500 Activation/Deactivation codes to enable/disable EC500.
■ A Feature Access Code for changing the Station Security Code.
Dial Plan for XMOBILE Stations
Have a specific scheme for assigning XMOBILE stations. It makes it much easier
to manage administration and user support with an organized, consistent
numbering plan. There are different ways to organize a Dial Plan:
■ Special first digits for XMOBILE extensions (Example 1).
■ Correlation between XMOBILE extensions and office number (Example 2).
■ Correlation between XMOBILE extensions and cell phone numbers
(Example 3).
