Simultaneous Ringing and Call Move for the ShoreTel IP

Simultaneous Ringing and Call Move for the ShoreTel IP Phone 655
Employees on the go want to receive calls wherever they are. The ability to assign your extension to any phone permits them to be reached at any number but it does involve the user to remember to assign his extension to a specific phone. The corridor warriors, who are joggling between a desk phone and a mobile phone throughout the day would rather have both phones ringing all the time and switch the conversation from one phone to another without disrupting the call. Simultaneous Ringing and Call Move allows the administrator or users to program multiple phones to ring at the same time and move a conversation seamlessly from one phone to another.

Terms
Additional Phones Up to two phones that can be rang at the same time as the assigned phone or a phone to which or from which you can move a call. Additional Phones can be standard phones such as mobile phones, a SIP phone, or a Off-System Extension device (for instance a Microsoft Office Communicator client). Assigned Phone This is usually the user's desk phone but it can also be the ShoreTel SoftPhone, a third party SIP phone or an analog phone connected to a ShoreTel Voice Switch. Call Move Move a conversation seamlessly from one phone to another. Simultaneous Ringing Destinations The assigned phone plus any configured Additional Phones.

Description
The Simultaneous Ringing allows a user or his administrator to configure up to two phones to ring at the same as the assigned phone. The configuration of Additional Phone is available through the user's ShoreTel Call Manager or from the ShoreWare Director's user page. Once configured, the user will receive calls on their ShoreTel extension and all additional configured phones, simultaneously. For convenience, this function can be suspended by the users using several interfaces. A ring delay can be optionally configured by the Administrator, which allows the Assigned Phone to ring first if desired. After the Simultaneous Ringing call is established, the call may be moved between the Simultaneous Ringing devices. The Call Move mechanism can be initiated by a Call Move IP Phone programmable button on the ShoreTel IP 655 Phone (other options available from ShoreTel IP Phones, Analog and SIP devices and ShoreTel Communicator).

Figure 5Example IP655 Application Menu

Using Call Move

When users have an active call on their Assigned Phone, initiating the MOVE function puts the other party on hold and sends the call to the Additional Phones that are idle. The other party hears silence until the call is picked up from one of the Additional Phones. When the call is active on Additional Phone, initiating the MOVE function from Assigned Phone grabs the call without disrupting the conversation.

Initiating a Call Move

You can trigger Call Moves from the ShoreTel IP Phone 655 by using Call Move programed into a Programmable IP Phone Button. Call Move is specific to the ShoreTel IP Phone 655. For more information on how to program a Programmable IP Phone button, please consult the System Administration Guide chapter on Configuring Users, Personal Options.

License Requirement
The Simultaneous Ringing and Call Move features do not require additional licenses. However, a SIP license is required if one of the Additional Phones is a SIP extension.

Additional Notes

Call Move operation is not allowed on a conference call. Call Move functionality is not supported on SIP trunks only if they support DTMF signaling using SIP INFO. When an off system extension (OSE) is configured as an Additional Phone, care should be taken to make sure the Simultaneous Ringing call is directly placed to OSE and not AA. When cell phone is configured as Additional Phone, care should be taken to set the activation mode to Answer by pressing 1 so that when the call is redirected to cell phone voicemail, other simultaneous ringing destinations do not stop ringing. For additional information about enabling Simultaneous Ringing and Call Move with Microsoft Office Communicator, please refer to the Application Note AN10276 Integrating ShoreTel and Microsoft OCS with AudioCodes SIP .

Separate Class of Service for Whisper Page

Separate Class of Service for Whisper Page

Introduction
ShoreTel 11.1 modifies the Telephony Class of Service settings to allow permissions to be separately established for the Whisper Page and Intercom features. This separation allows administrators greater control over providing user access to these two unique features.

Background
Releases prior to ShoreTel 11.1 allowed a single Telephony Class of Service setting for both Intercom and Whisper Page capabilities.

Description
This features increases customer control over Telephony Class of Service permissions. The customer can now define whether users have access to none, one or both of these features. Telephony Class of Service now has the following settings:

Directed Intercom/Group Paging

Allow Initiation (by user) Accept: (from others) Allow Initiation (by user) Accept: (from others)

Whisper Paging

Please refer to the ShoreTel Administration Guide for details on the use of these features.

Terminology
No new terms are introduced for this enhancement.

Implementation
Operational Behavior
To implement either Whisper Paging or Intercom capability, access the Telephony Class of Service screen for the user group to be configured. Select Allow Initiation for the selected features to allow a user with this class of service to perform Intercom and/or Whisper Paging. Select Accept:

None - to prevent any other user from using making Intercom or Whisper Page to users with this class of service. All - to allow all users with Intercom or Whisper Paging permissions to make these calls to users with this class of service. Only From - to select a specific user to make Intercom or Whisper Page to users with this class of service.

Figure 7

Telephony Class of Service

Use considerations
A user may have access to both features, access to only one feature or no access to either feature.

In the event a user has Whisper Page initiation permission but not Intercom:

They can initiate Whisper page via star codes, programmed buttons or the ShoreTel Communicator dial menu. The users Intercom icon in Communicator would be grayed out in the dial menu. Selecting the Intercom hard key on IP Phones (except IP212k*) brings up the whisper page display, but Intercom soft key will be grayed out. They will accept whisper pages automatically. Intercom pages will ring as normal calls (not auto-off-hook).

In the event a user has Whisper Paging Accept, but not Intercom Accept:

Page 8

ShoreWare Server Release Notes

Separate Class of Service for Whisper Page

In the event a user has Intercom initiation permission but not Whisper Page:

They can initiate Intercom via star codes, programmed buttons, and the ShoreTel Communicator dial menu. The users Whisper Paging icon in Communicator would be grayed out in the dial menu, but not the Intercom's button. Selecting the Intercom soft key on IP Phones (except IP212k*) brings up the Intercom page display, but Whisper Page soft key will be grayed out. They will accept Intercom pages automatically. Whisper pages will ring as normal calls (not auto-off-hook). They can initiate both features via star codes, programmed buttons, and the ShoreTel Communicator dial menu. The Intercom button (exception 212k*) brings up a menu allowing control of both features. ShoreTel Communicator displays both Whisper Page and Intercom in the dial menu; neither button is grayed out.

In the event a user has Intercom Accept, but not Whisper Paging Accept:

In the event a user has access to both features:

In the event a user attempts to place either type of call and they do not have permissions the following behavior occurs:

The IP Phone plays the intercept tone if initiated from a programmed IP phone button with an extension. If they use the star code (*19) plus the extension they will receive a reorder tone. If the user initiates the Whisper Page with the hard Intercom key or a programmed IP phone button without an extension they will receive a message on the phones display screen that they do not have permission to perform the operation.

* The 212k phone also prompts for intercom and whisper page if the hard key or programmed button is pressed. It only differs in that it does not have soft keys to toggle between what kind of page it should perform.

Voicemail Deletion Enhancement

Voicemail Deletion Enhancement

Introduction
ShoreTel 11.1 enhances the process for handling deleted voicemails in those circumstances where a users deleted voicemail count reaches the allowable limit.

Background
The Voice Mail server has a limit of 200 deleted messages per mailbox. When the limit has been reached, no more messages may be taken for that mailbox until the deleted messages are purged. In situations where the mailbox had a total message limit larger than 200 and the deleted voicemail count reached the 200 limit, the larger mailbox capacity was restricted.

Description
Deleted messages are no longer counted against total message count. However, maximum number of deleted messages allowed at any point in time remains at 200 to limit total server mailbox storage space. If this limit is reached, deleting further messages will result in purging of the oldest deleted messages, so as to keep the count of the deleted messages to 200.

Terminology
No new terms are introduced for this enhancement

Implementation
Operational Behavior
If this limit is reached, deleting further messages will result in purging of the oldest deleted messages, so as to keep the count of the deleted messages to 200. This limit of 200 deleted messages is not configurable.

ShoreTel Communicator Availability of Workgroup

ShoreTel Communicator Availability of Workgroup Controls to ECC Agents for Failover

Introduction
ShoreTel 11.1 supports a new feature through which Enterprise Contact Center (ECC) agents using ShoreTel Communicator automatically get workgroup controls that can be used during failover to workgroups. ShoreTel 11.1 also allows enabling contact center integration for agents that have ShoreTel Communicator for workgroup agent access levels so that the users can be logged into ECC and also into workgroups as a fallback option in case ECC in unavailable. ShoreTel Communicator feature enhancement allows ECC agents to use the Workgroup Agent Communicator type for ECC integration.

Background
This ShoreTel Communicator enhancement allows the ECC Agent to use the Workgroup Agent client type to manage both ECC and Workgroup login states. This functionality is extremely useful in situations where ECC is unavailable or unreachable and the call is being routed through an alternate route which is the workgroup. This allows agents to be logged into ECC as well as backup workgroups and controls the workgroup functions when calls are routed through them. In addition, it allows the ECC agent to manage calls from both ECC and any workgroups for which the agent is a member. ECC integration is still available for the Personal and Professional Communicator types.

Description
ECC agents that use ShoreTel Communicator and are also members of a workgroup will get workgroup controls in the Communicator. Login/Logout controls reflect their state in both ECC as well as workgroups and are synchronized between the two systems. Figure 2 shows the Contact Center menu for the Workgroup Agent Communicator when ECC integration has been enabled for the user.

Changing the Agent States in ShoreTel Communicator

When the agent starts ShoreTel Communicator, initial state for the agent is to be logged out of all ECC groups and all workgroups. When the agent selects the Log Into All Groups as shown in Figure 3, the agent will be logged into all ECC groups and all workgroups for which the agent is programmed. Note: It is highly recommended that an ECC agent only be logged into workgroups that serves as a backup for the main ECC route. Receiving calls concurrently from ECC and Workgroups that are not backup workgroups may show inconsistencies in reporting of Non-ACD (NACD) calls in ECC.

Figure 9

Changing states using ShoreTel Communicator

Logging out will log the agent out of all ECC groups and all workgroups. If the ECC agent state is changed to the Release state, the Workgroup state will be changed to the Wrap-Up state.

Failover Behavior of ShoreTel Communicator

If ECC is unreachable or unavailable, ShoreTel Communicator will display that the system is in Failover Mode (as long as the agent is a member of a Workgroup) as shown in Figure 4. This will allow the agent to continue to log in and out of their workgroups via the Contact Center menu or the toolbar menu. Only the Log Into All Groups and Log Out of All Groups options will be available. All other options will be grayed out.

Figure 10

Failover behavior of ShoreTel Communicator with Workgroup

If ECC is unreachable or unavailable and the agent is not a member of a Workgroup, ShoreTel Communicator will display System Unavailable as shown in Figure 5.

Other Behaviors of ShoreTel Communicator

When ShoreTel Communicator looses contact with the ECC server, it retains a local login state. The local login state is the state the client was in prior to the disconnection. When the contact center becomes available again, ShoreTel Communicator will log in or log out based on the local login state. If the admin disables the Contact Center Integration in ShoreWare Director, ShoreTel Communicator logs out of all ECC groups. but remains in the last known state set for the workgroups (any workgroup) for which the ShoreWare user is a member.

Redirecting Number Information Element - RNIE

Redirecting Number Information Element - RNIE

Introduction
The popular features Call Forward (Always, No Answer), Personal Call Handling, FindMe, Extension Reassignment, Backup Destination (Hunt Groups, Work Groups and Bridged Call Appearance), PSTN Failover and Blind Transfer allow a ShoreTel user or Call Control Application to forward incoming (external) calls to a different external destination number. In these conditions, the original (external callers) Caller ID is forwarded with the call to the destination number for convenience.

Background
When an incoming call reaches an extension set for a forwarding condition and is transferred to an outbound trunk, the caller id may/will not match a company DID for those trunks. Some ISDN/SIP carriers do not allow an unrecognized caller ID and may reject the call. Many carriers require Redirect Information to place the outbound call to its destination number (the forward condition destination). The Redirect Information can be added to the call through Trunk Group configuration but requires precise and complex scripting. Incorrect information may result in the carrier rejecting the call.

Description
ShoreTel 11.1 simplifies the configuration of using the Redirecting Number Information Element (RNIE). This feature (shown in Figure 7) when active will replace a forwarded calls original caller ID (the original external caller) with a known caller id (the BTN/CESID or Base DID number for a trunk group). To continue the convenience of displaying the original callers Caller ID to the destination number, the original caller ID is placed into the RNIE of the ISDN or SIP call.

Introduction
ShoreTel 11.1 introduces enhancements to ISDN BRI and PRI for the European market.

Background
Some telephone markets require 25 digit dialing (Overlap Sending) and Overlap Receiving.

Description
To accommodate ISDN BRI and PRI dialing requirements of up to 25 digits, ShoreTel 11.1 will pass 20 digits in the initial ISDN Setup Message. The remaining digits (if any), will be sent in the next INFO message after the Terminal Equipment receives a Setup Acknowledge Message from the Network Terminal. Sending Complete is added for the complete digits. For ISDN BRI, if the Terminal Equipment receives digits less than the number of extension digits required, the Setup Acknowledge Message is sent to the Network Terminal for more digits. Sending Complete from Network Terminal is supported. The 25 dialable digit enhancement for European ISDN is applicable to originating calls dialed from the ShoreTel IP Phone Telephone User Interface (the Dial Pad).

Differentiated Services Differentiated Services is a computer networking architecture

that specifies a method for managing network traffic and providing Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees on IP networks. Differentiated Services can provide low-latency, guaranteed service for critical network traffic (voice or video) while providing simple best-effort traffic guarantees to less critical services (web traffic or file transfers).

Direct Inward Dialing (DID) Direct Inward Dialing is a feature offered by telephone

companies where they allocate a range of numbers to a customer's PBX. As calls are presented to the PBX, the number that the caller dialed is also given, which the PBX uses to route the call to the correct recipient. switch capacity by moving inter-site switching routing decisions from the individual switches to the ShoreWare servers. ShoreTel systems normally have a capacity of 60 switches enabling DRS increases the system capacity to 500 switches.

IP Phone Configuration Switch In each ShoreTel installation, one switch is responsible

for assigning, to each IP phone, a switch that performs ShoreTel Communicator activities.

IP Phone Failover IP Phone Failover is a ShoreTel feature that continues a voice call after
the ShorePhone loses communication with the its ShoreTel Communicator switch. When IP Phone Failover is implemented, ShorePhones are configured to send a signal to their ShoreGear ShoreTel Communicator switch every four minutes and to expect an acknowledgment from the switch. When a phone does not receive the return signal, it connects to another switch located at the same site.

IP Phone Keep Alive A signal that voice switches send to the IP phones for which they
provide ShoreTel Communicator services. The system considers phones that acknowledge the signal as functioning. The signal is also referred to as a heartbeat.
