+ INCOMMING CALLSAnonymous Call Rejection
Anonymous Call Rejection enables you to reject incoming call
attempts from callers not within the same group, who have
blocked their identity (phone number and name) to the user,
with a calling identity delivery blocking service. When this
service is active, the user receives no alerting indication
for external calls from callers with their identity blocked.
Instead, the caller is connected to an announcement stating
that the user does not accept calls with the caller’s identity
blocked.
Configuration
The user configures this service through the CommPilot
Personal web portal. The service can be activated (block anonymous
calls) and deactivated (allow anonymous calls).
Call Forwarding Always
Call Forwarding Always allows you to forward all
your incoming calls to a different phone number, such as your
home office or cell phone. You can also make your office phone
emit a short ring burst to inform you if you are next to your
phone when the call is forwarded by using the Ring Reminder.
This is important when you have forgotten the service is turned
on and you are at your desk waiting to receive calls. Note
that the number you forward your calls to must be permitted
by your outgoing calling plan. You can also set the phone
number to forward to using the voice portal or on the phone
using the feature access code.
Configuration
The service can be controlled via the CommPilot Personal
web portal or via feature access codes dialed from the user’s
device. The service can be activated and deactivated through
the CommPilot Personal web portal. When activated, a valid
forwarding phone number must be entered.
Call Forwarding Busy
Call Forward Busy forwards calls to a specified destination
when the user is busy. A user is considered busy when there
are too many calls active or a service makes the user appear
busy to the caller (e.g. Do Not Disturb, Selective Call Rejection,
etc.).
Configuration
The service can be controlled via the CommPilot Personal web
portal or via feature access codes dialed from the user’s
device.
Web Portal Activation
The service can be activated and deactivated through the CommPilot
Personal web portal. When activated, a valid forwarding phone
number must be entered.
Feature Access Codes Activation
The service can be activated and deactivated through feature
access codes dialed from the user’s device. To activate, the
user dials *90 (default), optionally followed by a valid forwarding
phone number. The system then plays a confirmation announcement
and the user hangs up. To deactivate, the user dials *91 (default).
The system then plays a confirmation announcement and the
user hangs up. Feature access codes can also be used from
the CommPilot Call Manager. For example, the user can enter
*90XXXXXXXXXX to activate call forwarding with XXXXXXXXXX
being the forwarding number. The system then rings the user’s
device and plays a confirmation announcement indicating that
call forwarding has been activated. In addition, the user
can just enter *90 through the CommPilot Call Manager. Then,
the user’s device rings, and when answered, the system prompts
for the forwarding number (as described above).
Call Forwarding No Answer
Call Forwarding No Answer forwards calls to a specified forwarding
phone number when a user does not answer an incoming call
for a user specified number of rings.
Configuration
The service can be controlled via the CommPilot Personal
web portal or via feature access codes dialed from the user's
device.
Web Activation
The service can be activated and deactivated through
the user's CommPilot Personal web portal. When activated,
a valid forwarding phone number must be entered. Users can
also configure the number of rings before the call is forwarded.
Feature Access Codes Activation
The service can be activated and deactivated through
feature access codes dialed from the user's device. To activate,
the user dials *92 (default), optionally followed by a valid
forwarding phone number. The system then plays a confirmation
announcement and the user hangs up. To deactivate, the user
dials *93 (default). The system then plays a confirmation
announcement and the user hangs up. Feature access codes can
also be used from the CommPilot Call Manager. For example,
the user can enter *92XXXXXXXXXX to activate call forwarding
with XXXXXXXXXX being the forwarding number. The system then
rings the user's device and plays a confirmation announcement
indicating that call forwarding has been activated. In addition,
the user can just enter *92 through the CommPilot Call Manager.
Then, the user's device rings, and when answered, the system
prompts for the forwarding number (as described above).
Call Notify
This service enables a user to define criteria that causes
certain incoming calls to trigger an email notification to
a user-specified address.
Description
When an incoming call matches pre-defined criteria,
this service sends an email with information about the caller
to a user-configurable address. The criteria include:
The criteria can be combined within predicates (e.g. incoming call from this number AND within business hours AND during work week). Multiple predicates can be defined and a notification is sent when at least one of the predicates is met.
Do Not Disturb
This service allows a user to set their status as unavailable.
When a user activates the Do Not Disturb (DND) service, all
calls to the user are processed as if the user is busy and
cannot receive calls. Other terminating services trigger on
the busy condition, as if the user is really busy. Since the
normal busy processing applies to the call, the caller is
unaware that the user has the service activated. When active,
the service provides a visual reminder to the user via a button
on the CommPilot Call Manager. Furthermore, every time a call
is blocked or deflected as a result of the service, the user
is played a ring splash3 as a reminder that the service is
active.
Configuration
CommPilot Personal Web Portal The user can activate
and deactivate the service through the CommPilot Personal
web portal. The user can also select whether a ring splash
is applied when a call is blocked or deflected by the service.
Feature Access Code
The user can activate and deactivate DND by dialing
*78 (default) to activate or *77 (default) to deactivate.
The system then plays a confirmation announcement and the
user hangs up. Feature access codes can also be used from
the CommPilot Call Manager. For example, the user can enter
*78 to activate Do Not Disturb. The system then rings the
user's device and plays a confirmation announcement indicating
that Do Not Disturb has been activated.
CommPilot Call Manager
The user is provided with a shortcut to the Do Not
Disturb CommPilot Personal web portal configuration page from
the CommPilot Call Manager. In addition, a visual reminder
of the status of Do Not Disturb is shown on the CommPilot
Call Manager. Users can activate and deactivate the ring splash
reminder through the Do Not Disturb configuration page.

Call Return
Call Return allows the user to call the last party that called
by dialing *69 (default) on the user’s device or through the
CommPilot Call Manager. Call Return can be used for calling
back answered and unanswered calls, as long as the calling
number is available to IPFone. The fact that the caller blocked
the delivery of their identity only impacts the presentation
of the identity to the user but does not impact Call Return.
When the calling number is available, the last calling party
is called as if the user dialed his number directly. If the
calling number is not available, the user is played an error
announcement. A call originated with Call Return is subject
to all user services and restrictions. The Call Return service
can be used through the CommPilot Call Manager. To do so,
the user simply enters the Call Return feature access code
in the CommPilot Call Manager dial window and clicks the Dial
button. This results in holding the current call and originating
a call to the last calling number if the user was already
active on a call or it rings back the user’s phone and originates
the call to the last calling number when the user picks up
the phone.
Configuration
There are no configuration parameters.
Last Number Redial
This service enables users to redial the last number they
called by clicking the Redial button on their CommPilot Call
Manager or by dialing a feature access code (e.g. *66).
Description
The Last Number Redial service allows the user to repeat the
last call that was made by dialing *66 (default). The service
substitutes the feature access code with the digits used for
the last call that was made and originates the call as usual.
The digits are obtained from the last entry in the call log
for originated calls. Feature access codes can be entered
on the user’s device or through the CommPilot Call Manager.
Furthermore, the service can be used on the original or add-on
call leg (i.e. after a switch-hook flash or through the CommPilot
Call Manager with one call active).
Configuration
There are no configuration parameters.
Calling Line ID Delivery
This service is a terminating service that delivers the identity
of the calling party to the user via the CommPilot Call Manager
and device (if capable).
Description
Calling Line ID Delivery relays a caller’s identity to the
user’s CommPilot Call Manager and device, if the device is
capable of displaying such information. The caller identity
is delivered for every call that terminates to the user. If
an incoming call is redirected or blocked before it can terminate,
or if the user is busy, the identity is not delivered. The
identity includes the calling party’s number and name, if
available.
Configuration
This service has no configuration parameters.
Calling Name Delivery
This service allows IPFone to provide calling name delivery to
its users by retrieving the calling name from a PSTN-hosted
database through an SS7-enabled network element like a softswitch.
Description
This service provides a user subscription-based method of
retrieving calling name information from an external database
on a per-call basis; this function is analogous to the GR-1188
TCAP terminating query. If the name information is already
present in the incoming call setup message, then the external
database is not accessed. IPFone uses the SIP event notification
framework to communicate with the external database. A SIP
Subscribe message is sent by IPFone to query the caller’s name
information, and the external database uses a SIP Notify message
to respond to the IPFone request. The query contains the caller’s
number, which allows the external database to query the caller’s
name information. When IPFone receives a response from the external
database, the caller’s name information is extracted from
the message and is relayed to the called endpoint.
Configuration
This service has no configuration parameters.
Calling Line ID Delivery
Per Call
This service overrides the persistent presentation of the
calling line ID so users can allow the delivery of their identity
for the next call. At the end of the call, the presentation
of the user’s identity is restored to its persistent status.
Description
This service is the exact opposite of Calling Line ID Blocking
Per Call (see Section 2.17 Calling Line ID Blocking Per Call)
and shares the same characteristics of the user interface
and service interactions. The user allows the delivery of
their identity for the next call by dialing *65 (default),
from their device, prior to making the call. This results
in a confirmation tone2 followed by dial tone. The user can
then make the call as usual and their identity is delivered
to the farend. When the user hangs up, the blocking of the
calling line ID is restored to its persistent status. Feature
access codes can also be used from the CommPilot Call Manager.
For example, the user can enter *65XXXXXXXXXX to activate
Calling Line ID Delivery Per Call (the XXXXXXXXXX represents
the destination number). The system then rings the user’s
device and upon answer, starts alerting the called party destination.
In addition, the user can simply enter *65 through the CommPilot
Call Manager. In this case, the user’s device rings, and when
answered, the system prompts for the destination number (as
described above). Calling Line ID Delivery Per Call behaves
the same if the CLID is not persistently blocked for the user,
but it has no impact.
Configuration
This service has no configuration parameters.
Speed Call 8 / 100
This service allows users to associate single-digit codes
to frequently dialed or hard-toremember long strings of digits.
Users can then use these codes instead of the full numbers
to place calls.
Description
A user can associate a single-digit code with a string of
digits. This single-digit code is referred to as a speed code.
The user can associate 2 to 30 numeric digits, including x11
emergency and repair call numbers. The user can also associate
a string of digits that includes the * digit. This allows
a user to program a speed code that maps to a Feature Access
Code, or multiple, chained Feature Access Codes. At the time
of programming, the system does not validate the 2 to 30 digits
except in the ways mentioned above. It is possible that the
digits associated with a speed code are not valid; in which
case the user is informed of this at the time the speed code
is dialed, as if the digits had been dialed normally. Once
a speed code is defined, the user can dial that single digit
and wait (for an inter-digit timer to expire), or terminate
the code with a #. This can be done through the user's device,
or from the CommPilot Call Manager. Once the speed code is
collected, it is replaced by its associated digit string and
the call is originated as usual with these digits.
Configuration
There are two methods by which a user can program speed
codes, through the CommPilot Personal web portal or by dialing
a feature access code. 2.40.2.1 CommPilot Personal Web Portal
A table of eight rows contains the speed code definitions.
A user can enter the digits and a name or description for
the speed code.
Feature
Access Code
The user can program speed codes by dialing *74 (default)
from their device. The user is played recall dial tone (three
quick beeps and then regular dial tone). The user then dials
the single-digit speed code, followed by the associated phone
number and a terminating digit (#). The system plays a confirmation
announcement and the user hangs up. Feature access codes can
also be used from the CommPilot Call Manager. For example,
the user can enter *74YXXXXXXXXXX to define a speed code,
where Y is the speed code and XXXXXXXXXX is the associated
phone number. The system then rings the user's device and
plays a confirmation announcement indicating that the speed
code has been defined. In addition, the user can just enter
*74 through the CommPilot Call Manager. Then, the user's device
rings, and when answered, the system prompts for the speed
code and associated phone number (as described above).
Personal Phone List
Personal Phone List allows you to store frequently called
numbers to be dialed from your CommPilot Call Manager. You
can also import multiple numbers for this list quickly by
loading them from a CSV file.
Call Waiting
This service enables a user to answer a call while already
engaged in another call. When an incoming call is received
while a user is already engaged in a call, the user is informed
of the new call via a call waiting tone. To answer the waiting
call, the user presses the flash hook, which connects the
user with the waiting party and holds the original party.
Subsequent use of the flash hook allows the user to toggle
between the two parties. If the user hangs up while another
party in the session is held or waiting, the user is rerung.
Upon answer, the user is reconnected to the held party. The
service ends when any party hangs up. Users can also execute
call waiting via the CommPilot Call Manager. When a second
call is presented to the user in the CommPilot Call Manager
window, the user can click the Talk button while the new party
is highlighted to hold the other party and establish a connection
with the incoming call. This procedure can be repeated as
many times as necessary to toggle between the two parties.
The flash method and the CommPilot Call Manager can be used
interchangeably during the same session.
Configuration
There are no configuration parameters.
Cancel Call Waiting Per
Call
This service allows the users to disable Call Waiting for
the next or current call.To cancel Call Waiting Per Call,
the user dials *70 (default). The system plays a confirmation
announcement and then applies a dial tone. The user then dials
the destination number. For the duration of the call, the
user will not be presented with any waiting calls. Call Waiting
is automatically re-activated when the call ends. The user
can also cancel Call Waiting for calls in progress. The user
can flash the switchhook while a call is in progress, and
then dial *70 (default) after the dial tone is applied. The
system then responds with a confirmation announcement, followed
by a dial tone. The user can then flash back to the other
call, and no other waiting calls will be presented for the
duration of the current call. Feature access codes can also
be used from the CommPilot Call Manager. For example, the
user can enter *70XXXXXXXXXX to cancel call waiting, with
XXXXXXXXXX being the destination number. The system does not
play a confirmation announcement. In addition, the user can
just enter *70 through the CommPilot Call Manager. Then, the
user’s device rings, and when answered, the system prompts
for the destination number (as described above).
Configuration
Cancel Call Waiting Per Call has no configuration parameters
and is available to all users with call waiting capabilities.
Call Hold
Flash Call Hold allows you to dial a feature access code to
hold and retrieve calls. To hold the call, flash the phone
(click the flash button or click the hangup button once) then
dial the Flash Call Hold feature access code. You can then
make another call while the first call is held. Subsequent
flashes followed by the Flash Call Hold feature access code
cause the active and held calls to toggle. That is the active
call becomes held and the held call active.
Call Transfer
Flash Call Transfer allows you to transfer a call even when
your phone does not have a transfer button. To transfer a
call, flash the phone (click the flash button or click the
hangup button once) then dial the number you would like to
transfer the call to. Once the transfer number answers, click
flash again and the two callers are connected. If you have
Flash Three-Way Calling, instead of transferring on the second
flash, you are connected in a conference call. Once in the
conference call, if you hang up the phone, the callers remain
talking to each other, in effect, transferred.
Blind Call Transfer
This service enables a user to transfer a call before or after
the call is answered, without consulting with the transferred
to party. Users can only execute blind call transfer from
the CommPilot Call Manager.
Description
Blind Call Transfer allows a user to transfer an active call to a specific destination without consulting with the destination party. This capability is provided exclusively through the CommPilot Call Manager. To blind transfer an incoming call (unanswered), the user selects the incoming call in the active call window, enters a destination in the dial window, and clicks the Transfer button. The call is automatically redirected to the specified destination. To blind transfer a talking or held call, the user selects the call in the active call window, enters a destination in the dial window, and clicks the Transfer button. The call is automatically redirected to the specified destination. When there is only one call in the active call window, this call is selected by default and does not need to be selected explicitly.
Configuration
There are no configuration parameters. The Blind Call
Transfer service is provided as part of the CommPilot Call
Manager.
Three-Way Calling
This service enables a user to make a three-way call with
two other parties, where all parties can communicate with
each other.
Description
Analog Phone
To initiate a three-way call while engaged in a regular two
party call, the user presses the flash hook and dials the
third party (a.k.a. add-on party). Before or after the add-on
party answers, the user presses the flash hook and forms a
three-way call with the two parties. To drop the add-on party,
the user presses the flash hook and is reconnected with the
original party in a regular two party call. If the user hangs
up, all parties are released (unless the user is allowed to
transfer, in which case the call remains active between the
two other parties). The user may have a private conversation
with the add-on party before conferencing all three parties.
This phase is known as consultation. If the user hangs up
during consultation, the add-on party is released and the
user is recalled by the original party on hold (i.e. the user’s
device is re-rung). Users also have the ability to execute
three-way calls using the CommPilot Call Manager. To initiate
a conference, the user simply clicks the conference button
on the CommPilot Call Manager while two calls are active.
From this point, all three parties get connected on a three-way
call. The CommPilot Call Manager also provides the user with
capabilities above and beyond what can be done on an analog
phone, as follows:
Configuration
This service is provided by default to users assigned
the CommPilot Call Manager web control client. IP phone users
can also establish three-way conferences through the phone’s
feature keys.
Selective Call Rejection
This service enables a user to define criteria that causes
certain incoming calls to be rejected. All other calls terminate
normally.
Description
Selective Call Rejection allows a user to block calls
that meet user-configurable criteria. The blocked calls are
provided busy processing (e.g. voice mail) or a system announcement.
All calls not meeting the user-specified criteria are allowed
to terminate normally. The possible criteria include:
Configuration
The service is configured through the CommPilot Personal
web portal. Through the portal, the user can define criteria
based on the incoming caller identity, ranges of digits, the
time of day, and the day of the week. Multiple criteria can
be combined to build predicates, and multiple predicates can
be defined simultaneously. Each predicate can be active or
inactive. Incoming calls are rejected if at least one of the
active predicates is met.
Call Intercept
This service allows intercepting calls routed to a line that
has been decommissioned with an informative announcement and
alternate routing options (e.g. “This number is no longer
in service. To talk to an operator, press 1”). The service
may be used to decommission a single user or an entire group.
Description
If the Call Intercept service is assigned to a user or a group, then incoming calls to the user are intercepted and played an announcement. If configured, this announcement plays back a new destination number to the caller and offers the caller to connect to this new number. Outgoing calls are prohibited from a user with the Call Intercept service assigned. Only emergency and repair calls are permitted. All other call attempts are rejected and the user is played a treatment.
Configuration
The service provider uses the CommPilot Service Provider
web portal to authorize and assign the Call Intercept service
to a group. The group administrator assigns the Call Intercept
service to selected users using the CommPilot Group web portal.
The Call Intercept service allows three types of incoming
call interception:
The desired type of interception is configured when the service is assigned to a group or a user.
CommPilot Express
CommPilot Express enables a user to pre-configure multiple
profiles for managing incoming calls differently based on
a preset status as follows:
Description
CommPilot Express is a meta-service that consolidates
BroadWorks call termination services into four profile-based
call management templates. Each profile includes preferences
for managing the relevant incoming call functions (e.g. Call
Forwarding [busy, no answer, always, selective], Voice Messaging,
Simultaneous Ringing, Call Notify), which can be configured
through a single easy-to-use web page. The following profiles
are defined:
Available - In the office - The “Available – In the office” profile is meant for users working from their desk where their BroadWorks device is located. In this context, users need calls to be delivered to their regular device and optionally to another number in case they are temporarily away from their desks (e.g. mobile phone). Furthermore, users also need their incoming calls to be redirected to voice mail when they are busy, or unable to answer the call. Alternately, users can choose to have their calls be redirected to a selected phone number instead (e.g. auto-attendant or administrative assistant).
Available – Out of office - The “Available – Out of the office” profile is meant for users working away from their desk for an extended period of time. In this case, users are interested in getting all of their calls sent to their temporary location. Optionally, these users may want to keep track of all incoming calls so they know if they missed some calls or simply want to keep a log of these calls so they can follow up on them when back in the office. For that purpose, this profile allows users to optionally specify an email address where a notification of all calls should be sent.
Busy - The “Busy” profile is meant for users who are temporarily unavailable to take calls, when they are in a meeting for instance. In this context, users are interested in screening their calls so only the most important ones come through. Hence, the busy profile allows the user to select up to three parties for which calls are allowed to come through. Other calls are sent directly to their voice mail. Furthermore, users may be interested in being notified of messages being left in their mailbox. So the “Busy” profile allows users to optionally specify an email address where email notifications should be sent.
Unavailable - The “Unavailable” profile is meant to be used outside of business hours, or while users are on vacation or holidays. In this case, users are interested in sending all their calls directly to voice mail or to a specified phone number (autoattendant or administrative assistant), and provide callers with a distinctive greeting informing them of their unavailability, or regular business hours. Also, these users may be interested in having some critical calls come through anyway. Hence, the “Unavailable” profile allows users to send all calls directly to voice mail, and optionally allows them to specif y a distinctive greeting and a list of up to three parties who shouldbe allowed to alert the users at a specified phone number.
Configuration
CommPilot Personal Web Portal
The CommPilot Express templates are configured through the
CommPilot Personal web portal. A user can also use the portal
to select their active profile.
CommPilot Call Manager
A user can select their active CommPilot Express profile through
a pull-down menu on the CommPilot Call Manager.
CommPilot Voice Portal
Users on the road or without web access can call into their
Voice Portal to select their active CommPilot Express profile.
Simultaneous Ring Personal
This service enables a user to have multiple destinations
ring simultaneously when any calls are received on their phone
number. The first destination to be answered is connected.
Description
The Simultaneous Ring Personal service is a user "find-me"
service that alerts multiple terminating locations simultaneously.
A user can provision up to ten secondary terminating phone
numbers (e.g. cell phone, home phone, MSN Messenger Call Client).
When a party calls a BroadWorks user, service issues simultaneous
termination requests to the locations specified. The first
location to answer the call is connected to the originating
party; all other terminations are released. All calls to secondary
locations are subject to the services that apply to these
locations. For instance, a call to a busy cell phone may get
forwarded to voice mail, thus resulting in the other legs
being released. If all call legs are busy, the caller gets
busy processing. To avoid overwhelming a user when they are
using their main location, the service can be configured to
not alert the secondary phone numbers when the primary phone
number is active on a call. The secondary phone numbers can
be any valid phone number that is allowed by the Outgoing
Calling Plan of the user.
Configuration
The service is configured through the CommPilot Personal
web portal. The user can:
Voice Messaging – Personal
This service enables users to record messages from callers
for calls that are not answered within a specified number
of rings or for calls that receive a busy condition.
