Limit Number of Concurrent Calls.

(Provide busy for second call)

First Option

Configure the phone as below:

 Configure only 2 call appearances for the phone


 Restrict Last Appearance? Y

This configuration will allow the phone to make transfer and conference

A second call to the phone will get busy.

Note that for the ADA phones you will need to configure only one call appearance. The ADA phone
will be able to make transfer and conference with just one call appearance

Option 2

The Limit Number of Concurrent Calls (LNCC) feature is used to control the number of concurrent
incoming calls, and to change Multiple Call Appearance phone to a Single Call Appearance
phone. If a user is active on a call and receives an incoming call, if the LimitInCalls feature is
enabled, the caller gets the busy tone.
This feature must be activated on the Avaya Aura ® Communication Manager.

Hot line

This feature will work for analog phones.

It will dial a destination configured as soon as the handset is picked up.

Create abbreviated dial group

Assign the group to the user and to the hot line


Supported also for J100 phones

Use 46xx settings file with below parameter

SET HOTLINE 3127

The destination number will be dialed immediately.

I am now looking for a timer is possible??

3127 is the destination number that will be dialed

PCOL – PVR - private line. (Works for H323 currently)

Add button of type PCOL

FYI, adding support for the PCOL feature on SIP endpoints in CM/SM/SMGR is not a small
undertaking.  We could add it as an ADA-only feature, such that real SIP endpoints do not need to
support it, but that of course leads to a feature debt if/when the customer migrates from CS1k
endpoints to SIP endpoints.

Before we start we do need to make sure the PCOL feature is close enough to the PVR feature, so we
need Eyal or Shlomi to test out the H.323 version of the feature.

Log call options


It is possible to log only calls to main number and not bridged lines for J100 and possibly other
phone types
Team button

Team button feature works for both H.323 and SIP endpoints, which incorporates BI functionality,
but also functions as a call pickup button when a call arrives.

Create a team group, assign users to it and assign the team button key to the users.

Different ringtone for internal and external calls

See feature description and implementation book - Defining Distinctive Ringing.

Basically need to configure the number of rings for internal and external under:

The Feature-Related System Parameters screen displays the Distinctive Audible


Alerting field only when the Tenant Partitioning field on the System Parameters
Customer Options screen is set to n. If the Tenant Partitioning field is set to y, you
must change the Distinctive Audible Alerting area on the Tenant screen.

Change tenant x
In addition, you may modify the behavior for transferred calls

Change the station ring pattern association – only for H.323 phones??

Personalized ringing pattern


Intercom Group

Intercom group can be created between 2 phones and more

You can create up to 256 intercom groups per standard and up to 1024 intercom groups with
SA9035 - Increased Intercom Groups on one server that runs Communication Manager.
• Each group can contain up to 32 extensions in it.
• You can assign the same extension to different groups.
• Intercom calls are possible only between extensions in the same group

Create an intercom group

add to the list any phone number you would like.

Each phone in the list will get a DC number.

This number will be used to call it.


Assign the intercom group to a phone key

Use sat

Change station xxxxx

Add a key of type auto-icom and assign to it the intercom group number and the DC number

Repeat above step for the other phone.

 Specify if intercom call will be answered automatically by changing station config page 2

Auto Answer=icom

Press the Do Not Disturb button or the Send All Calls button on your telephone when you
don’t want someone in your intercom group to listen in on a call. Auto Answer ICOM does

Answer Group
An answer group contains up to 20 sip phones or 80 non SIP phones who act as a coverage point for
another user.

For example, if several secretaries are responsible for answering a department’s redirected

calls, all the secretaries could be assigned to an answer group.

The answer group is assigned a group number, and that group number appears in the department’s
coverage path.

All telephones in an answer group ring (alert) simultaneously.

Any member of the group can answer the call

The number can be any number that is free.

At the bottom of the coverage path page you get to see a section called coverage
points. This is where that field number of the 1 that you placed in the coverage remote
table comes into hand.

Place a r and the number <r1> of the remote number in the coverage remote table in
point 1 of the coverage points.
 
3. Now do a change station <station extension>.

On the change station page, In the coverage path 1 add the coverage path that you

Data privacy for bridge appearance

 To block entering into existing call on bridge appearance configure as below

Example

Station A has bridge appearance for station B

Station B answer call and station A will not be able to enter into the call

How it works

To enable this feature you will need to configure for the stations using bridge appearance a special

key called exclusion.

Once a phone answer a bridged line the key will lit automatically

The other phone with same number will not be able to bridge into the call.

If the user who answered the call will want to allow bridging into the call he can press the key

exclusion.

Once the key is pressed the call can be bridged into.

Under system parameters features modify below to yes


And

For each COS enable the feature so exclusion will go on automatically.


Under the station configuration verify Data Restriction =n

If you set this to yes it will also disable the option to bridge into a call BUT also music on hold will not
be allowed for that station or any other system tones

For each station add the key “exclusion”


Busy Indication (BI)

To Modify key content for H323 phone

Use the utility server as below

First time setup by admin:

In Browser, go to https://<Utility Server IP Addr>:8443/MyPhoneAdmin

Login with the user/pwd used in ssh (in our lab admin/admin01)

Go to MyPhone AES, CM and SES Access


Login and Password are for the CM login and they have to be configured in CM before you change
them here (in our lab admin/admin01).

Note that the user must be in the format <CM user>@<CM IP add>

Save and then Test to make sure the connection is established.

MyPhone application will need to be restarted for the new values to be effective.

End User Usage

https://<Utility Server IP Addr>:8443/MyPhone/MyPhone

Login with the extension and Security code configured for it and select Features
In order to configure the number for the autodial button, press the appropriate Change Button <no>

Phone – time of day per location/group

If CM is serving a few time zones you might need to setup locations and groups for the phones.

For H.323 phones the time of day is taken from location settings in the CM.

The offset is relative to the CM time of day and not GMT, so if CM is in Israel and on time zone IST
and the phone is in USA Los Angeles use -10:00 on the offset to add 10 hours

For SIP phones the time of day is taken from the 46xxsettings file and the ASM clock.

The SIP phone group number should be configured manually on the phone menu.

Another option is to create in the utility server a few folders and for each folder create a different

46xxsettings file.
On the DHCP server option 242 use HTTPSRVR=http://149.49.103.86/USA

Dialing rules for 96x1 and H175 phones


The dialing rules for these phones come from the 46xxsettings file.

By default it will add 9 and 1 to external numbers.

You MUST modify the 46xxsettings file as below to cancel\change this

Split phone screen option

H323 Phones

This only works for H323 phones:

SET PHNSCRCOLUMNS 1

SIP Phones

For 96x1 you may set this in the CM template->Profile Settings->Phone Screen->Half

For J169 it should be same using the CM template, SMGR configuration but currently SMGR RLS
8.0.1 there is a bug and the option is not showing.
Manually Configure the phone menu to use split screen

9608 Phone Menu->Options & Settings->Screen & Sound Options->Phone Screen Width-> select Half

9641 Phone Menu->Options & Settings->Screen & Sound Options->Show Quick Touch Panel-> Select

Assign the key you want to see on the main screen as favorite

SMGR->User Management->Manage Users-><Select your user>->Communication Profile->Endpoint


Editor
Once this is done and phone will load new configuration, (Might take a few minutes or use “reload
config”) the phone screen should look like that:

9608

9641
