Making Calls - Avaya Communication Manager Administrator's Manual

Feature Reference
Extension to Cellular and Off-PBX Stations (OPS)
If the Avaya server running Communication Manager is administered to send calling number
information, that information is presented to the outside phone. When the outside phone answers the call,
Communication Manager treats it like a local answer of a physically-connected station, and the following
is true:
•
Status of the station shows both the Extension to Cellular/OPS status and the regular station
status. It shows both the port used on the outbound trunk group and the other connected port.
•
Any office number busy indicators tracking the station light up to show that it is busy.
•
Any other station linked to the call as part of a bridge or temporary bridge is able to bridge on to
that call.

Making calls

Calls can be made to any number from the Extension to Cellular/OPS cell phone. Depending on how the
Extension to Cellular/OPS station is administered, the Extension to Cellular/OPS cell phone can function
both as a standard cell phone and as an office extension when the calls are made into the user's office
switch. Administering an Extension to Cellular/OPS cell phone to send office caller ID allows the
Extension to Cellular/OPS cell phone call to the switch to appear as a local extension on the switch.
The Mapping Mode
controls whether an Extension to Cellular/OPS cell phone is administered to gain the identity of the office
phone (sends the office caller ID).
If the Mapping Mode

the station with the following results:

connected port.
