Appendix: Other EC500 Uses
Multiple Setup - Some users may need to bridge their office number to
multiple locations — such as their cell phone and home office number. In a
multiple setup, you can send office caller ID for each location. In this
example, five extensions are established, and all are reachable via the
primary office number:
NOTE:
The above setup is recommended for users who have a dedicated home
office phone number, and not their main home phone number. If the main
home number is administered for EC500 to send office caller ID, then
the same number will never be able to call the office number directly.
The switch will see the home number as the desk number and send the
call directly to coverage.
Standalone Setup - A single cell phone used as a member of a hunt group
or coverage group; one extension is administered, which can send office
caller ID when it is administered.
NOTE:
If you are administered as a standalone user, the statement above also
applies to calls made to your office number via standard Avaya
Communications Server features such as a hunt group, bridge or other local
coverage feature.
The setup you require is determined by your individual business needs. For
example, a construction foreman would rarely be in her office to receive calls and
may use a cell phone exclusively for all business-related calls; she would require
one EC500 extension (standalone mode). A real estate agent may be in the office
daily but spend most of his time showing houses to customers; he would need
dual bridging (a desk phone extension and two EC500 extensions bridged to it) or
single bridging (a desk phone and one extension bridged to it), depending on
whether his cell phone has call waiting.
