described in this manual.

via function buttons
This documentation always describes the most common and most direct
operating methods.
Using myAttendant with two Monitors
For an installation at a PC with two connected monitors, only the primary monitor
should be used when working with myAttendant.

You can optionally maximize the myAttandant display screen to the full screen
size or minimize the screen. This is done with the familiar Windows functionality
in the upper right corner of the window.

CallMe Service
5.2 CallMe Service
The Call-Me service can be used to define any phone at an alternative workplace
as the Call-Me destination at which you can be reached through your own internal
phone number. You can use the UC client at your alternative workplace exactly
as in the office and thus also make outgoing calls from the Call-Me destination.
Inbound Calls
Calls to your internal number are redirected to the CallMe destination. Your
internal phone number is displayed to the caller. Unanswered calls are forwarded
to the voicemail box after 60 seconds.
Outbound Calls
When you dial a number in the UC client, the communication system first calls you
at the CallMe destination. If you answer the call, the communication system then
calls the desired destination and connects you with it. Your internal phone number
is displayed at the destination (One Number Service).
Presence Status
When the Call-Me service is enabled, the message "Call-Me active" appears
in the display of your phone (not for analog and DECT phones). Other subscribers
will see your presence status as Office.
Activation
You can activate the CallMe service manually. In addition, the CallMe service is
also reactivated by an automatic reset of the Presence status following an
absence, provided it was active earlier. Then following types of CallMe
destinations are not supported:
Group
Redirected telephone
Deactivation
The CallMe service remains active until your Presence status changes.

Sorting
You can sort the calls in the Journal by any column in ascending or descending
alphanumeric order. The direction in which the triangle at a column header is
pointing indicates the ascending or descending order.
Zooming in on an Entry
You can zoom in on a specific entry one character at a time in the column by which
the entries are sorted. For example, you could jump to the first Last Name starting
with "Sen" one letter at a time. This method can also be used in the results of a
search.
Retention Period
The communication system saves a record of the calls in the Journal for a
maximum period of time, which can be configured by the administrator. As a
subscriber, you can reduce this time. After the retention period expires, the
communication system automatically deletes all associated entries.
You can also delete the entries manually at any time.
The administrator can generally prohibit the deletion of journal entries via the
WBM of the communication system (Application Suite-> UC Suite -> General
Settings).
Exporting Journal Data
You can export the log data for the current day manually or automatically to a CSV
file. The storage location of the CSV file can be freely selected. Once a manual
export is completed, a window appears with a link to the generated CSV file
containing the exported journal data.
The automatic export is performed:
whenever the Export button is pressed,
at every shutdown of the PC,
at midnight (if the PC is not shut down).
The file is named according to the scheme <phone number>-<yyyymmdd>.csv. If
the file already exists, the data is appended to it. The file contains the journal data
of all call types except Open and Scheduled in the following fields: Start Date,
Start Time, End Date, End Time, From, To, First Name, Last Name, Company,
Direction, Duration, Status and Domain.

Desktop Dialer and Clipboard Dialer
specified when manually entering the destination number (dialable format) for the
CallMe service (UC Suite) in UC clients.
When dialing an external phone number in dialable format from a directory (and
when using the Desktop Dialer and Clipboard Dialer for certain UC clients), the
communication system automatically adds the CO access code (route 1). The
automatic addition of the CO access code also occurs when you select a phone
number of your own personal data (Mobile number, Private Number, etc.) as a
destination number for the CallMe service (UC Suite).
INFO: For calls within the USA via CSTA to a number in canonical
format, phone numbers are converted to the dialable format.
Related Topics
5.8 Desktop Dialer and Clipboard Dialer
Using the Desktop Dialer and Clipboard Dialer, you can call a selected destination
or a destination copied to the clipboard from many applications such as an editor
or an Outlook e-mail.
Depending on the type of string used, the Dialer works as follows:
A phone number in canonical format is dialed directly.
A station number in dialable format is dialed directly if the communication
system can decide whether an internal or external destination is involved.
Otherwise, the user is asked to make the appropriate selection.
A string of letters is searched in the directories as a first name or last name.
The Desktop Dialer and Clipboard Dialer are executed after a definable time
period. Within this time period, you can still cancel the dialing. If you change the
default value of 3s to 0s, the dialing will occur immediately.
Windows applications that were implemented with standard Windows-compliant
components usually support the Desktop Dialer and Clipboard Dialer, but 16-bit
applications do not.

time.
If you want to use the Clipboard Dialer, copy the string to the Windows
clipboard and press the configured keyboard shortcut for the Clipboard
Dialer (default: Shift+Ctrl+D).
INFO: If you want to cancel the dialing of a number, click within
five seconds in the Desktop Dialing screen pop on the Close
symbol.
INFO: If the string consists of characters, the search window
opens and displays the existing names that match the string in the
directories. Clicking on an entry with the right mouse button opens
a context menu with different phone numbers, you can call directly
with the left mouse button.

Inbound:
The conference participants or conference controller dials into the conference
using the dial-in number.
While participating in a conference, making a call or accepting another call
disconnects the participant from the conference.
Dial-in number
The administrator can change the conference dial-in numbers that were set up
during the basic installation. You can display the dial-in number for a conference.
Conference Controller
The initiator of a conference is automatically the conference controller until this is
explicitly changed. Depending on the type of conference, the controller can:
Add or remove conference participants:
Removed participants do not remain in the conference.
Disconnect or reconnect conference participants:
Disconnected participants remain in the conference. When the conference
controller is connecting a conference participant, all other conference
participants remain connected to one another. If there is only one participant
connected, that participant will hear music on hold.
Record a conference
Conferences in which a participant is on hold cannot be recorded.
Set another internal participant on the same node as the conference controller
Leave the conference without ending it:
The longest attending internal participant of the conference automatically
becomes the conference controller.
End the conference
Conference tone
When connecting or disconnecting a conference participant, the other participants
hear the conference tone. The administrator can activate or deactivate the
conference tone.
Conference Participants
Conference participants can leave the conference and optionally dial-into it again
(scheduled and permanent conferences). As long as a conference has only one
participant, the participant hears music on hold. The administrator can specify
whether multiple external conference participants are allowed. The maximum
number of external conference participants is determined, among other things, by
the number of available trunks.
Automatic Termination without a Conference Controller
If there are only external subscribers left in a conference, the participants will hear
an alert tone after a specified time period. Following a further timeout, the
conference is automatically terminated by the communication system. The

Notification by E-mail and Outlook Appointment
The system can automatically notify conference participants by e-mail and, for
scheduled conferences, additionally through an Outlook appointment as an
attachment (.ics):
This requires the administrator to have configured the sending of e-mails. In
addition, an internal conference participant must have specified his or her e-mail
address. For external conference participants, the initiator of the conference must
enter their individual e-mail addresses.
INFO: For e-mail notifications, no return acknowledgments are
obtained for failed deliveries or absence messages, since the e-
mails are sent directly from the system due to the integration of
Web Collaboration.
Further Calls
While participating in a conference, making a call or accepting another call
disconnects the participant from the conference.
Park, Toggle/Connect
The Park and Toggle/Connect features are not available in a conference.
Call Charges
Toll charges are assigned to the party who set up the toll call. When a conference
is transferred to another conference controller, all further charges are assigned to
that controller.
Video Monitoring
Any ongoing video transmission must be terminated before participating in a
conference.

5.10.1 Ad-hoc Conference
An ad-hoc conference occurs spontaneously and is started manually by the
conference controller. The conference controller can save ad-hoc conferences in
order to set them up again at some later point in time.
Starting the Conference
The system opens the window with the virtual conference room automatically for
all internal conference participants, provided they have started myAttendant with
the classic user interface. The system calls all conference participants
simultaneously. On joining the conference, each conference participant hears a
greeting announcement with the name of the conference controller.
Recording the Conference
Conference controllers can record a conference manually for themselves or for all
connected internal conference participants, provided the live recording of calls
has been activated in the system. Participants located in the own node receive
the recording in the voicemail box; participants in other nodes, via e-mail. The
duration of the recording is only limited by the available storage capacity of the
system.
Ending the Conference
The conference controller can end the conference in the client or simply hang up.
Alternatively, the conference ends when all conference participants have left the
conference.
Expanding a Call to a Conference
An internal subscriber who is conducting a call can convert the call to an ad-hoc
conference and add further subscribers. For this, the subscriber must have a UC
Suite Conference license.
This feature is not available with OpenScape Office.

Options for Configuring a Scheduled Conference
The initiator of the conference can define the following properties:
Start time and End time
Recurring conference
Presence of conference controller required
Authentication of conference participants on joining the conference required
(by entering a conference ID and password via the phone keypad).
INFO: Mobility Entry users must enter the code for DTMF suffix
dialing before their authentication.
The default password for conferences is 123456. The conference controller
can change this for the conference participants individually.
Language of the announcements and invitations by e-mail (by default, this is
the language of the voicemail box).
Direction for the connection setup for each conference participant (default:
outbound).
Starting the Conference
The system opens the window with the virtual conference room at the scheduled
time automatically for all internal conference participants, provided they have
started myAttendantwith the classic user interface. If the presence of the
conference controller is required, the system first calls the controller. After the
successful authentication of the controller, all the other conference participants
are called simultaneously. Conference participants who have forwarded their calls
to their voicemail boxes or who are determined to be absent by their presence
status are not called. Depending on how the connection setup has been
configured, the system calls the conference participants or the participants can
dial in themselves. The system announces every participant who joins the
conference by name, as in: "... has joined the conference", provided
the initiator has recorded his or her name announcement.
INFO: In order to enable the participants of a conference you
have scheduled without authentication to hear the name
announcement at the start of the conference, you will need to
have first already initiated a conference with authentication on
one occasion.
Dialing In
Every conference participant can use the dial-in number to dial into the
conference within the scheduled time period, regardless of which direction for the
conference setup was set for that participant. Attempts to dial into the conference
outside the scheduled time period result in a corresponding announcement.

Forcing Authentication with the Star (*) Key
The conference controller can set the conference so that each conference
participant is forced to provide authentication by at least by pressing the * key.
This ensures that only the participants who are actually present are connected to
the conference, as opposed to a voicemail box, for example.
Extending the Conference
Ten minutes before the scheduled end of the conference, the participants hear an
announcement indicating that the conference is about to end and are offered the
option of extending the conference by dialing a specific digit. Any conference
participant can extend the conference by dialing that specific digit. The
conference controller can extend the conference in myAttendant at any time.
Recording the Conference
Conference controllers can record a conference automatically or manually for
themselves or for all connected internal conference participants, provided the live
recording of calls has been activated in the system. Participants located in the
own node receive the recording in the voicemail box; participants in other nodes,
via e-mail. The duration of the recording is only limited by the available storage
capacity of the system.
Ending the Conference
The conference ends at the time scheduled for the end of the conference or if the
conference controller terminates the conference.

the language of the voicemail box).
Starting the Conference
All conference participants dial in themselves. The system announces every
internal participant who joins the conference, as in: "... has joined the
conference."
Dialing In
Every conference participant can use the dial-in number to dial into the
conference at any time.
Recording the Conference
Conference controllers can record a conference automatically or manually for
themselves or for all connected internal conference participants, provided the live
recording of calls has been activated in the system. Participants located in the

5.10.5 Web Collaboration Integration
Together with myAttendant, the system also supports the convenient integration
of the separate product OpenScape Web Collaboration for simultaneous multi-
media collaboration during phone calls as well as phone-controlled and
application-controlled teleconferences. This gives you quick access to functions
such as desktop and application sharing, file sharing, co-browsing,
whiteboarding, URL Push, IM chat and video chat with multiple participants.
For the integration of Web Collaboration, the address of the Web Collaboration
server must be known to the communication system.
Supported Types of Connections
The Web Collaboration integration supports phone calls as well as the following
types of application-controlled phone conferences of the system:
Ad-hoc conference
Scheduled conference
Permanent conference
A web collaboration session can be started during a phone conversation (a
conference) via the screen pop.
On initiating or configuring a telephone conference, the conference controller can
start one Web Collaboration session for simultaneous use with the same
participants. On rescheduling, deleting or ending a conference call, the related
Web Collaboration session is also rescheduled or deleted automatically.
When the web collaboration session is started, the Web Collaboration Client
opens. No local installation is required on the desktop for this purpose. More
information can be found in the Web Collaboration product documentation.
INFO: In order to enable clients to start a Web Collaboration
session automatically, proxy authentication must be disabled on
the server.

Connecting to the Web Collaboration Session
Internal conference participants with UC PC clients are automatically connected
to the appropriate Web Collaboration session on starting the conference. To do
this, FastViewer is automatically downloaded and opened in the background,
which may take several seconds. External conference participants with known e-
mail addresses receive an e-mail with an appropriate link to the Web
Collaboration session.
INFO: Users of a Mac OS must copy the link for the Web
Collaboration session into the web browser.
For a scheduled conference, it is possible to connect to the Web Collaboration
session as early as 5 minutes before the start of the scheduled conference.
Conference ID and Password
The conference ID and password for a Web Collaboration session are identical to
the conference ID and password of the associated phone conference.
Instant Messaging and Web Collaboration
Note that Instant Messaging of the system and Instant Messaging of a
Web Collaboration session are mutually independent, i.e.: the instant messages
from a UC client do not appear in a Web Collaboration session of the same
participant, and vice versa.

this yourself by setting up a "call diversion after time" on your
phone.
Determining the Call Number of the Voicemail Box
You can determine under which extension you can reach the voicemail box from
any phone to listen to your voicemails or change your Presence status, for
example.
Selecting the Recording or Announcement Mode
In Recording mode, callers can leave a message for you on reaching your
voicemail box exactly as with an answering machine, whereas in Announcement
mode, they will only hear your announcement. You can specify this setting
separately for every Presence status.
Announcements
You can record or import the following types of announcements:
Name announcement:
Your name announcement is used at the start of conferences for which you
have invited others and to announce when you join a conference. In addition,
the name announcement you have recorded is used as a greeting when you
have enabled the announcement of your Presence status for the caller
involved and your Presence status is not Office, CallMe or Do Not Disturb.
General personal greeting
This announcement is heard by callers in default mode when no presence
status is enabled (status Office or CallMe). For example, on reaching your
voicemail box, the caller would hear a message such as, "Unfortunately, I
cannot take your call at the moment …".
Personal greeting for Busy:
This announcement is heard by callers in default mode (i.e., when no custom
profiles of the personal AutoAttendant are enabled) on reaching your
voicemail box when your line is busy. For example: "I am currently on the
phone and unable to take your call …" If no personal greeting for Busy has
been recorded, callers will hear your general personal greeting.
Personal greeting for No Answer:
This announcement is heard by callers in default mode (i.e., when no custom
profiles of the personal AutoAttendant are enabled) when their calls are
forwarded to your voicemail box manually or on no answer after a specific
amount of time. For example: "I am unfortunately unable to take your call at
this moment …" If you have not recorded any personal greeting for No
Answer, callers will hear your general personal greeting.
Personal announcements for custom profiles of the personal AutoAttendant:
These announcements are not used by the voicemail box in default mode, but
only in conjunction with the personal AutoAttendant.

6.4 Personal AutoAttendant
The personal AutoAttendant offers callers the option of forwarding their voice
calls to the phone numbers defined by you or to your voicemail box, depending
on your Presence status. Callers signal their choice by entering digits at the
phone.
Custom Profiles for the Personal AutoAttendant
For every Presence status there is a custom profile in which you can define the
choices for your callers. You can activate or deactivate each profile separately. By
default, no profile is active. When you deactivate a profile, the default behavior of
your voicemail applies to the Presence status involved.
Announcements
When this profile is activated, the voicemail box plays back the following
announcements:
Name announcement:
If you have enabled dynamic announcements, the name announcement you
recorded is used for the greeting, unless your Presence status is Office,
CallMe or Do Not Disturb.
Dynamic announcements:
If you have enabled dynamic announcements, the voicemail box generates
situation-based announcements for your Presence status (except for Office,
CallMe and Do Not Disturb) with an indication of the scheduled time of your
return, e.g., "... is in a meeting until two thirty p.m. today".
You can activate or deactivate the playback of dynamic announcements
individually for each profile. If the dynamic announcements for a profile have
been enabled, you can activate or deactivate the announcements for your
Presence status for certain callers and for all external callers separately.
Personal announcement for the profile:
Before you activate a profile, you must record a personal announcement for
this profile that indicates to your caller the appropriate digits and associated
choices, e.g.: To leave a message, press 1. To speak with my representative,
press 2. To forward this call to my mobile phone, press 3." When you disable
dynamic announcements for the profile, you may find it useful to start your
personal announcement by indicating your Presence status.
The voicemail box plays back announcements for a profile in the following order
(from left to right):
