Multiple applications with Extension to Cellular

Last Updated : Oct 30, 2012 |

You can administer up to four Extended Access applications on one telephone. Extended Access applications include Extension to Cellular, Cellular Service Provider (CSP), Service Provider Fixed-Mobile Convergence (SPFMC), SIP, and Public Fixed Mobility (PBFMC) PBFMC and Private Fixed Mobility PVFMC. You can also administer more than one instance of an application on one telephone. For example, you can map one office telephone to two different cell phones through Extension to Cellular.

When you map an office telephone to multiple applications, any Communication Manager feature enabled on one endpoint, such as the cell phone, applies to all other endpoints.

The EC500 status button shows a single station-wide state of EC500 activation regardless of the number of applications administered.

The Extend Call button extends an active call to all mapped endpoints.

Extend call FNU is invoked at a mobile SIP endpoint or an OPS SIP station and extends an active call to all mapped mobile endpoints. The Extend Call FNU when invoked at an OPS SIP station or a mobile SIP endpoint will not extend the call back to itself.

Bridging tone applies when a call is active and a user on another mapped endpoint attempts to bridge on to the call. The following occurs:

  • If a cell phone bridges to desk set on an active call – no tone will be heard.

  • If the desk phone user attempts to bridge on a call that is active on cell phone - the cell phone user will hear intrusion tone.

  • If the SIP OPS desk phone user attempts to bridge on a call that is active on cell phone - the cell phone user will hear intrusion tone.

  • If a cell phone bridges to SIP OPS desk phone on an active call – the cell phone user will hear intrusion tone.

  • If desk phone user attempts to bridge on a call that is active on a SIP OPS desk phone - the SIP OPS phone user will hear intrusion tone.

  • If a SIP OPS desk phone user attempts to bridge on a call that is active on desk phone - no tone will be heard.

Using Self Administration FAC for EC500, a user can self-administer a cell phone number on the phone number field of the off-PBX telephone station-mapping screen for the EC500 and CSP applications. SAFE only applies to EC500, CSP, SPFMC, and PBFMC.

Exclusion will apply to all mapped endpoints; they will be excluded from an active call other than the endpoint that invoked exclusion.

All features invoked at any OPTIM endpoint will apply to all other endpoints. For example, SAC will apply to all mapped endpoint regardless of which one invoked SAC.

Using multiple applications or single applications, only one origination-mapping per phone number can be used whereby the same cell phone number cannot be administered more than once as both or origination.
