CallMe Service
5.2 CallMe Service
The Call-Me service can be used to define any phone at an alternative workplace as the Call-Me destination at which you can be reached through your own internal phone number. You can use the UC client at your alternative workplace exactly as in the office and thus also make outgoing calls from the Call-Me destination.
Inbound Calls
Calls to your internal number are redirected to the CallMe destination. Your internal phone number is displayed to the caller. Unanswered calls are forwarded to the voicemail box after 60 seconds.
Outbound Calls
When you dial a number in the UC client, the communication system first calls you at the CallMe destination. If you answer the call, the communication system then calls the desired destination and connects you with it. Your internal phone number is displayed at the destination (One Number Service).
Presence Status
When the Call-Me service is enabled, the message " Call-Me active " appears in the display of your phone (not for analog and DECT phones). Other subscribers will see your presence status as Office .
Activation
You can activate the CallMe service manually. In addition, the CallMe service is also reactivated by an automatic reset of the Presence status following an absence, provided it was active earlier. Then following types of CallMe destinations are not supported:
• Group
• Redirected telephone
Deactivation
The CallMe service remains active until your Presence status changes.

CallMe service (UC Suite) in UC clients.
When dialing an external phone number in dialable format from a directory (and when using the Desktop Dialer and Clipboard Dialer for certain UC clients), the communication system automatically adds the CO access code (route 1). The automatic addition of the CO access code also occurs when you select a phone number of your own personal data ( Mobile number , Private Number , etc.) as a destination number for the CallMe service (UC Suite).

5.8 Desktop Dialer and Clipboard Dialer
Using the Desktop Dialer and Clipboard Dialer, you can call a selected destination or a destination copied to the clipboard from many applications such as an editor or an Outlook e-mail.
Depending on the type of string used, the Dialer works as follows:
• A phone number in canonical format is dialed directly.
• A station number in dialable format is dialed directly if the communication system can decide whether an internal or external destination is involved.
Otherwise, the user is asked to make the appropriate selection.
• A string of letters is searched in the directories as a first name or last name.
The Desktop Dialer and Clipboard Dialer are executed after a definable time period. Within this time period, you can still cancel the dialing. If you change the default value of 3s to 0s, the dialing will occur immediately.
Windows applications that were implemented with standard Windows-compliant components usually support the Desktop Dialer and Clipboard Dialer, but 16-bit applications do not.

Conferences
• Inbound :
The conference participants or conference controller dials into the conference using the dial-in number.
While participating in a conference, making a call or accepting another call disconnects the participant from the conference.
Dial-in number
The administrator can change the conference dial-in numbers that were set up during the basic installation. You can display the dial-in number for a conference.
Conference Controller
The initiator of a conference is automatically the conference controller until this is explicitly changed. Depending on the type of conference, the controller can:
• Add or remove conference participants:
Removed participants do not remain in the conference.
• Disconnect or reconnect conference participants:
Disconnected participants remain in the conference. When the conference controller is connecting a conference participant, all other conference participants remain connected to one another. If there is only one participant connected, that participant will hear music on hold.
• Record a conference
Conferences in which a participant is on hold cannot be recorded.
• Set another internal participant on the same node as the conference controller
• Leave the conference without ending it:
The longest attending internal participant of the conference automatically becomes the conference controller.
• End the conference
Conference tone
When connecting or disconnecting a conference participant, the other participants hear the conference tone. The administrator can activate or deactivate the conference tone.
Conference Participants
Conference participants can leave the conference and optionally dial-into it again
(scheduled and permanent conferences). As long as a conference has only one participant, the participant hears music on hold. The administrator can specify whether multiple external conference participants are allowed. The maximum number of external conference participants is determined, among other things, by the number of available trunks.
Automatic Termination without a Conference Controller
If there are only external subscribers left in a conference, the participants will hear an alert tone after a specified time period. Following a further timeout, the conference is automatically terminated by the communication system. The administrator can change these timeouts.

Notification by E-mail and Outlook Appointment
The system can automatically notify conference participants by e-mail and, for scheduled conferences, additionally through an Outlook appointment as an attachment (.ics):
Event Notified conference participants
New conference all
Delete the conference
Reschedule the conference
Adding conference participants
Remove conference participants
Those affected
Outlook appointment
Automatic creation
Automatic deletion
Automatic update
Automatic creation (those affected)
Automatic deletion (those affected)
This requires the administrator to have configured the sending of e-mails. In addition, an internal conference participant must have specified his or her e-mail address. For external conference participants, the initiator of the conference must enter their individual e-mail addresses.
INFO: For e-mail notifications, no return acknowledgments are obtained for failed deliveries or absence messages, since the emails are sent directly from the system due to the integration of
Web Collaboration.
Further Calls
While participating in a conference, making a call or accepting another call disconnects the participant from the conference.
Park, Toggle/Connect
The Park and Toggle/Connect features are not available in a conference.
Call Charges
Toll charges are assigned to the party who set up the toll call. When a conference is transferred to another conference controller, all further charges are assigned to that controller.
Video Monitoring
Any ongoing video transmission must be terminated before participating in a conference.

5.10.1 Ad-hoc Conference
An ad-hoc conference occurs spontaneously and is started manually by the conference controller. The conference controller can save ad-hoc conferences in order to set them up again at some later point in time.
Starting the Conference
The system opens the window with the virtual conference room automatically for all internal conference participants, provided they have started myAttendant with the classic user interface. The system calls all conference participants simultaneously. On joining the conference, each conference participant hears a greeting announcement with the name of the conference controller.
Recording the Conference
Conference controllers can record a conference manually for themselves or for all connected internal conference participants, provided the live recording of calls has been activated in the system. Participants located in the own node receive the recording in the voicemail box; participants in other nodes, via e-mail. The duration of the recording is only limited by the available storage capacity of the system.
Ending the Conference
The conference controller can end the conference in the client or simply hang up.
Alternatively, the conference ends when all conference participants have left the conference.
Expanding a Call to a Conference
An internal subscriber who is conducting a call can convert the call to an ad-hoc conference and add further subscribers. For this, the subscriber must have a UC
Suite Conference license.
This feature is not available with OpenScape Office.

Options for Configuring a Scheduled Conference
The initiator of the conference can define the following properties:
• Start time and End time
• Recurring conference
• Presence of conference controller required
• Authentication of conference participants on joining the conference required
(by entering a conference ID and password via the phone keypad).
INFO: Mobility Entry users must enter the code for DTMF suffix dialing before their authentication.
The default password for conferences is 123456. The conference controller can change this for the conference participants individually.
• Language of the announcements and invitations by e-mail (by default, this is the language of the voicemail box).
• Direction for the connection setup for each conference participant (default: outbound ).
Starting the Conference
The system opens the window with the virtual conference room at the scheduled time automatically for all internal conference participants, provided they have started myAttendantwith the classic user interface. If the presence of the conference controller is required, the system first calls the controller. After the successful authentication of the controller, all the other conference participants are called simultaneously. Conference participants who have forwarded their calls to their voicemail boxes or who are determined to be absent by their presence status are not called. Depending on how the connection setup has been configured, the system calls the conference participants or the participants can dial in themselves. The system announces every participant who joins the conference by name, as in: "... has joined the conference" , provided the initiator has recorded his or her name announcement.
INFO: In order to enable the participants of a conference you have scheduled without authentication to hear the name announcement at the start of the conference, you will need to have first already initiated a conference with authentication on one occasion.
Dialing In
Every conference participant can use the dial-in number to dial into the conference within the scheduled time period, regardless of which direction for the conference setup was set for that participant. Attempts to dial into the conference outside the scheduled time period result in a corresponding announcement.

Conferences
Forcing Authentication with the Star (*) Key
The conference controller can set the conference so that each conference participant is forced to provide authentication by at least by pressing the * key.
This ensures that only the participants who are actually present are connected to the conference, as opposed to a voicemail box, for example.
Extending the Conference
Ten minutes before the scheduled end of the conference, the participants hear an announcement indicating that the conference is about to end and are offered the option of extending the conference by dialing a specific digit. Any conference participant can extend the conference by dialing that specific digit. The conference controller can extend the conference in myAttendant at any time.
Recording the Conference
Conference controllers can record a conference automatically or manually for themselves or for all connected internal conference participants, provided the live recording of calls has been activated in the system. Participants located in the own node receive the recording in the voicemail box; participants in other nodes, via e-mail. The duration of the recording is only limited by the available storage capacity of the system.
Ending the Conference
The conference ends at the time scheduled for the end of the conference or if the conference controller terminates the conference.

Conferences
The conference controller saves a permanent conference under a specified name. The conference is retained until it is explicitly deleted.
Options for Configuring a Scheduled Conference
The initiator of the conference can define the following properties:
• Authentication of conference participants on joining the conference required
(by entering a conference ID and password via the phone keypad).
INFO: Mobility Entry users must enter the code for DTMF suffix dialing before their authentication.
The default password for conferences is 123456. The conference controller can change this for the conference participants individually.
• Language of the announcements and invitations by e-mail (by default, this is the language of the voicemail box).
Starting the Conference
As soon as the first conference participant dials in, the system opens the window with the virtual conference room automatically for all internal conference participants, provided they have started myAttendant. All conference participants dial in themselves. The system announces every participant who joins the conference, as in: "... has joined the conference."
Dialing In
Every conference participant can use the dial-in number to dial into the conference at any time.
Recording the Conference
Conference controllers can record a conference automatically or manually for themselves or for all connected internal conference participants, provided the live recording of calls has been activated in the system. Participants located in the own node receive the recording in the voicemail box; participants in other nodes, via e-mail. The duration of the recording is only limited by the available storage capacity of the system.

5.10.5 Web Collaboration Integration
Together with myAttendant, the system also supports the convenient integration of the separate product OpenScape Web Collaboration for simultaneous multimedia collaboration during phone calls as well as phone-controlled and application-controlled teleconferences. This gives you quick access to functions such as desktop and application sharing, file sharing, co-browsing, whiteboarding, URL Push, IM chat and video chat with multiple participants.
For the integration of Web Collaboration, the address of the Web Collaboration server must be known to the communication system.
Supported Types of Connections
The Web Collaboration integration supports phone calls as well as the following types of application-controlled phone conferences of the system:
• Ad-hoc conference
• Scheduled conference
• Permanent conference
A web collaboration session can be started during a phone conversation (a conference) via the screen pop.
On initiating or configuring a telephone conference, the conference controller can start one Web Collaboration session for simultaneous use with the same participants. On rescheduling, deleting or ending a conference call, the related
Web Collaboration session is also rescheduled or deleted automatically.
When the web collaboration session is started, the Web Collaboration Client opens. No local installation is required on the desktop for this purpose. More information can be found in the Web Collaboration product documentation.
INFO: In order to enable clients to start a Web Collaboration session automatically, proxy authentication must be disabled on the server.

Connecting to the Web Collaboration Session
Internal conference participants with UC PC clients are automatically connected to the appropriate Web Collaboration session on starting the conference. To do this, FastViewer is automatically downloaded and opened in the background, which may take several seconds. External conference participants with known email addresses receive an e-mail with an appropriate link to the Web
Collaboration session.
INFO: Users of a Mac OS must copy the link for the Web
Collaboration session into the web browser.
For a scheduled conference, it is possible to connect to the Web Collaboration session as early as 5 minutes before the start of the scheduled conference.
Conference ID and Password
The conference ID and password for a Web Collaboration session are identical to the conference ID and password of the associated phone conference.
Instant Messaging and Web Collaboration
Note that Instant Messaging of the system and Instant Messaging of a
Web Collaboration session are mutually independent, i.e.: the instant messages from a UC client do not appear in a Web Collaboration session of the same participant, and vice versa.

Determining the Call Number of the Voicemail Box
You can determine under which extension you can reach the voicemail box from any phone to listen to your voicemails or change your Presence status, for example.
Selecting the Recording or Announcement Mode
In Recording mode, callers can leave a message for you on reaching your voicemail box exactly as with an answering machine, whereas in Announcement mode, they will only hear your announcement. You can specify this setting separately for every Presence status.
Announcements
You can record or import the following types of announcements:
• Name announcement:
Your name announcement is used at the start of conferences for which you have invited others and to announce when you join a conference. In addition, the name announcement you have recorded is used as a greeting when you have enabled the announcement of your Presence status for the caller involved and your Presence status is not Office , CallMe or Do Not Disturb .
• General personal greeting
This announcement is heard by callers in default mode when no presence status is enabled (status Office or CallMe ). For example, on reaching your voicemail box, the caller would hear a message such as, "Unfortunately, I cannot take your call at the moment …".
• Personal greeting for Busy :
This announcement is heard by callers in default mode (i.e., when no custom profiles of the personal AutoAttendant are enabled) on reaching your voicemail box when your line is busy. For example: "I am currently on the phone and unable to take your call …" If no personal greeting for Busy has been recorded, callers will hear your general personal greeting.
• Personal greeting for No Answer :
This announcement is heard by callers in default mode (i.e., when no custom profiles of the personal AutoAttendant are enabled) when their calls are forwarded to your voicemail box manually or on no answer after a specific amount of time. For example: "I am unfortunately unable to take your call at this moment …" If you have not recorded any personal greeting for No
Answer , callers will hear your general personal greeting.
• Personal announcements for custom profiles of the personal AutoAttendant:
These announcements are not used by the voicemail box in default mode, but only in conjunction with the personal AutoAttendant.

AutoAttendant, further announcements may follow those described above.
Announcement of your Presence Status

As soon as one of the subscribers has listened to a new message, that message is flagged as "played" for all group members. If a group member deletes a message, that entry is also deleted for all other group members.
Listening to Voicemail
You can optionally listen to voice messages on the phone or your PC. When a new voice message is listened to for the first time, the communication system moves it automatically from the Inbox folder to the Played folder.
Calling the Sender of a Voicemail
You can call the sender of a voice message.
Forwarding a Voice Message
You can forward a voice message easily to other internal subscribers.
Moving a Voice Message
You can move a voice message to another folder.
Saving a Voice Message as a File
NOTICE: The communication system saves voice messages for a limited period of time, which can be configured per folder by the administrator. When this time period expires, the voice messages are automatically deleted by the communication system.
You can save a voice messages as a WAV file in the file system of your PC to archive it permanently or send it to any recipient by e-mail.

6.4 Personal AutoAttendant
The personal AutoAttendant offers callers the option of forwarding their voice calls to the phone numbers defined by you or to your voicemail box, depending on your Presence status. Callers signal their choice by entering digits at the phone.
Custom Profiles for the Personal AutoAttendant
For every Presence status there is a custom profile in which you can define the choices for your callers. You can activate or deactivate each profile separately. By default, no profile is active. When you deactivate a profile, the default behavior of your voicemail applies to the Presence status involved.
Announcements
When this profile is activated, the voicemail box plays back the following announcements:
• Name announcement:
If you have enabled dynamic announcements, the name announcement you recorded is used for the greeting, unless your Presence status is Office ,
CallMe or Do Not Disturb .
• Dynamic announcements:
If you have enabled dynamic announcements, the voicemail box generates situation-based announcements for your Presence status (except for Office ,
CallMe and Do Not Disturb ) with an indication of the scheduled time of your return, e.g., "... is in a meeting until two thirty p.m. today" .
You can activate or deactivate the playback of dynamic announcements individually for each profile. If the dynamic announcements for a profile have been enabled, you can activate or deactivate the announcements for your
Presence status for certain callers and for all external callers separately.
• Personal announcement for the profile:
Before you activate a profile, you must record a personal announcement for this profile that indicates to your caller the appropriate digits and associated choices, e.g.: To leave a message, press 1. To speak with my representative, press 2. To forward this call to my mobile phone, press 3." When you disable dynamic announcements for the profile, you may find it useful to start your personal announcement by indicating your Presence status.
The voicemail box plays back announcements for a profile in the following order
(from left to right):
