Welcome to being connected wherever you are! Instead of waiting for a call at your desk, the
Avaya Extension to Cellular solution offers you the freedom to work anywhere, anytime. You
can receive and make calls from your cell phone or wireless telephone as if you were sitting in
your office.
Terms
This document uses the following terms:
● “Extension to Cellular” refers to the set of features that Release 2.0 and later of Avaya
Communication Manager offers for use with your cell phone.
● “Office telephone” refers to a telephone that is directly under the control of Communication
Manager, such the telephone that is on your office desk.
● “Cell phone” refers to a cellular or a wireless telephone.
Note:
Note: Extension to Cellular works with any type of wireless or cellular service.
With Extension to Cellular, calls to your office telephone are extended to your cell phone. You
can receive work-related calls wherever you are and whenever you need to. Extension to
Cellular even provides office caller ID so that you know who the caller is before you answer.
Extension to Cellular is ideal for anyone who conducts business from multiple locations, such
as:
● Salespeople
● Field service personnel
● Real estate agents
● Physicians
● Attorneys
● Engineers
● Operations staff
● Consultants
● Brokers
● Other mobile professionals
Even telecommuters who work in home offices can use Extension to Cellular to make the
transition from office to home go unnoticed to callers.
With Extension to Cellular, incoming calls to your cell phone reach you while you travel, when
you work at another location, or even while you walk around the workplace. This “one number
reachability” means that you can respond immediately to urgent business matters. And when
you cannot respond, your voice mail picks up your messages.
You connect to or disconnect from Extension to Cellular as you need to. Regardless of whether
Extension to Cellular is enabled, your cell phone operates as always. You still receive personal
calls on your cell phone because personal calls come in through your standard cellular number
and service provider.
Chapter 3: Voice mail describes how voice mail works with Extension to Cellular.
Chapter 4: Enabling/disabling Extension to Cellular and maintaining security describes how to
enable and disable Extension to Cellular, maintain a secure connection, change your security
code, and prevent others from listening in on your conversation from your office telephone.
Chapter 5: Checkpoints and troubleshooting provides troubleshooting tips and answers to
common user questions about how Extension to Cellular interacts with your cell phone and your
office telephone.
Appendix A: Feature Name Extensions (FNE) lists the different FNEs that you can use for the
Extension to Cellular feature.
Glossary defines the terms that this document uses.

Introduction
Before you can receive your first Extension to Cellular call, you must ensure that Extension to
Cellular is set up to suit your needs. Your system administrator performs most of the preliminary
setup tasks. Two of these tasks are to complete a user profile from information that you provide
and establish your personal Extension to Cellular connections.
Your administrator gives you the feature access codes (FACs) to self-administer and enable
and disable the Extension to Cellular feature, and to change your security code. Your
administrator also gives you a list of feature name extensions (FNEs) that you use to access
Communication Manager features from your cell phone. You are then ready to experience the
flexibility that Extension to Cellular offers.
Note:
Note: How you map your cell phone number depends on whether you use your cell
phone in another country when you travel, or if your cell phone number is from a
country other than the country in which your Communication Manager software is
located. Long distance or international cell phone calls use numbers that consist
of some or all the following parts:
- The dial prefix. This prefix is usually either the long distance access code, which is
1 in the U.S. and 0 in most of Europe, or the international access code, which is 011
in the U.S. and 00 in most of Europe.
- The country code. This code comes after the dial prefix and consists of 1 to 3 digits.
You use the country code when the cell phone is from another country or you often
use the cell phone out of the country.
- The full national cell phone number. The full national cell phone number is the last
part of the number and consists of 8 to 10 digits (10 digits in the U.S.).

Introduction
After Extension to Cellular is administered and enabled, you can begin receiving calls to your office
phone on your cell phone. This chapter provides information on receiving Extension to Cellular calls,
making calls, and how this feature interacts with your regular cell phone service.
Note:
Note: When using your cell phone, be aware that some situations described in this chapter
may not apply to you or may not function exactly as described. Your contract with your
cellular service provider may override or restrict certain functions, or prevent them from
operating as described. For this reason, you should be completely familiar with both your
cell phone’s operation and the conditions of your cellular service contract before using
this feature.
Receiving calls
You can use the following features when Extension to Cellular is enabled.
Incoming calls
Calls to your office phone ring at both your office phone and your cell phone.
Confirmed Answer
You can use Confirmed Answer as one option for the Cellular Voice Mail Avoidance feature. You can
use this feature if it is configured for the system by an administrator. When you use Confirmed Answer,
an incoming call to your cell phone using Extension to Cellular (EC500) behaves differently from a
regular incoming call to the cell phone. For more information, see Cellular Voice Mail Avoidance
feature on page 34.
Making calls
The following information explains your options when making calls.
Call waiting
If your cell phone supports call waiting, a second incoming call to your office number is delivered to
your cell phone even if your cell phone is currently in use. You can answer the second call, switch
between the two calls, or conference the calls.
For cell phones, these features operate as described in your cell phone documentation and do not
involve Extension to Cellular or your Avaya phone system.
Note:
Note: For your cell phone, call waiting, switching between calls, and conferencing are available
only if both of the following are true:
● these features are supported by your cellular service provider, and
● these features are part of your cellular service contract.
This procedure applies to incoming calls picked up on your cell phone when Extension to
Cellular is enabled. This procedure also applies to outgoing calls if you have an
Extension to Cellular cell phone that sends office caller ID. Be sure to notify the person
with whom you are speaking that you will be changing phones.
Be sure to notify the person with whom you are speaking that you will be changing
phones.
Introduction
Unanswered office calls are usually routed to your corporate voice mail after a predetermined number
of rings. If your cellular service provider offers voice mail, you can use Extension to Cellular to send
unanswered calls to your preferred voice mail system by default. Your system administrator can set the
number of rings before answer so that your preferred voice mail system (corporate or cellular) picks up
unanswered calls first.
Your administrator might have discussed your voice mail system of choice with you when setting up
your Extension to Cellular profile.
Note:
Note: An unanswered call can sometimes result in a message in the voice mailbox of either
system.
Introduction
Follow the guidelines and procedures in this chapter to enable/disable Extension to Cellular on your cell
phone on a regular basis.
● Enable Extension to Cellular when you want to answer calls placed to your office number on your
cell phone (for example, while you are out of the office during business hours).
● Disable Extension to Cellular when you want calls to your office number to ring only in the office at
your desk, and not ring on your cell phone.
As a rule, you should disable Extension to Cellular before shutting your cell phone off. That way, voice
messages would go directly to your corporate voice mail system (see Chapter 3: Voice mail).
Frequently changing your station security code is important for security, and is also covered in this
chapter. Other security measures are also discussed.
The feature status button on the office phone indicates the current state of Extension to Cellular,
regardless of whether the feature was enabled remotely or directly from the office phone.
! CAUTION:
CAUTION: Be aware of security issues. For example, while using your Extension to
Cellular-enabled cell phone, if someone picks up your office phone, you will hear a beep
tone (if administered by your system administrator). Avaya provides this beep tone for
security reasons, to alert an Extension to Cellular user that someone has joined the call.
If you suspect unauthorized use of your office phone or an Extension to Cellular-enabled
cell phone, end the call immediately.
If your cell phone is lost or stolen, change your station security code immediately. Also
notify your system administrator, who can block Extension to Cellular activity from that
phone at the server running Avaya Communication Manager.
If additional privacy is required, your system administrator can administer one of Avaya’s exclusion
features.
This chapter provides usage tips and answers to common Extension to Cellular user questions.
If you have a question not addressed here, contact your system administrator and/or cellular
service provider for assistance.

Features are invoked by dialing either new Feature Name Extensions (FNE) or Feature Access
Codes (FAC). Features may be mapped to either the buttons on a principal set or to FNEs
designed for each feature that is available. You, while active on a call, would place the call on
hold, dial a special DID number followed by the FNE/FAC, and do the following:
● For a single button press invoked feature such as SAC, you would hear confirmation tone
and then hang up the call. SAC is now invoked at the principal station.
● For a feature that makes a call such as Last Number Dialed, you would hear call progress
tones and connect to the last party that was called from the principal or the last one to
have the identity of the principal.
● If a call is originated from the principal and another call is originated at the cell phone - the
last number dialed is the call that is truly the last number dialed.
● For a feature that gives you back dial tone like call forwarding, or where you select an idle
call appearance, you will hear dial tone, dial the destination, and then hear a confirmation
tone.
This appendix lists all of the FNEs available with Avaya Communication Manager Extended
Access.
To activate Automatic Call Back when you place a call from your cell phone to another party on
your server:
1. Establish a call to another party on the server you are mapped to and hear busy.
2. Hang up the call on your cell phone.
3. Dial the Automatic Call Back FNE.
4. Hear a confirmation tone and hang up the call on your cell phone.
5. Receive an alert on your cell phone when the busy party hangs up.
6. Answer the call at your cell phone and hear ring back.
7. The previously busy party receives an alert and picks up the call.
Conference on Answer
When there is one call present at the station, the FNE for conference-on-answer may be used
to conference in another party to the call.
If you call from your cell phone:
1. Dial the Conference on Answer FNE phone number.
2. You hear a dial tone.
3. Dial the destination number for the second party.
4. You hear a confirmation tone (if the destination is valid) or intercept tone otherwise.
5. When the destination answers, it will be automatically conferenced to the first call.
6. Repeat up to 4 more times to have 6 parties on the call. A party cannot be added until the
previous answered and joined the conference.
Drop FNE
Drop allows you to drop calls. You can drop calls from automatic hold or drop the last party you
added to a conference call.
If you call from your cell phone:
1. Dial the Drop FNE phone number.
2. You either hear dial tone if there are no other parties on the call or you continue to hear the
current call minus the last party added.
Exclusion FNE
Exclusion allows multiappearance telephone users to keep other users with appearances of the
same extension from bridging onto an existing call. If you activate an exclusion button while
other users are already bridged onto the call, the other users are dropped. Exclusion requires
that a button be administered on the desk phone.
There are two means of activating exclusion.
Manual Exclusion — when you press the exclusion button (during the call). This is a per call
feature.
Automatic Exclusion — by COS as long as an exclusion button is administered for the station.
Exclusion will be on for all calls but may be turned off on a per call basis using Manual
Exclusion.
If you call from your cell phone:
1. Establish a call and then put the call on hold.
2. Dial the Exclusion FNE phone number from the cell phone.
3. Either the user on the desk set is dropped from the call (if they were already on the call) or a
user at the desk set may not join the call.
If both the cell phone and associated desk phone are active on the call, then whichever one
actives exclusion will knock the other (as well as any bridges) off the call.
