Mitel Phone Support Additions

The 6920 IP, 6930 IP, and 6940 IP Phones are the newest additions to the Mitel family of multi-
line desktop IP phones. Each features a noise cancelling handset, a high quality full duplex
handsfree speakerphone and a high resolution color display. Ten fixed-function keys are also
provided for one-touch access to commonly used telephony features. The 6920 adds 18
programmable personal keys while the 6930 and 6940 add 72 and 96 keys respectively.

Legacy sets retain number precedence with a new Class of Service option (Prefer Name for
Call Information) available to align precedence with the new phones.
Calling party information presented on the new sets when multiple calls are ringing is from
the call that will be answered when the user goes off-hook. Previous behavior could not
guarantee this.
Personal ring tones (6900 series phones only) provide a selection of 20 distinct ring tones
for signaling incoming calls. Internal and external calls can each have a different tone which
can only be assigned from the phone.
The 6940 and 6930 IP Phone support MiMobileLink, a feature that provides seamless
mobile integration using Bluetooth wireless technology. The IP phone is assigned a Mobile
Line key. Once paired, users can
sync their mobile phones contact list with the 69xx IP Phone,
answer a mobile phone call using the 69xx IP Phone (calls are signaled on both
devices with audio seamlessly streamed from the mobile phone to the 69xx IP Phone
when answered)
move active calls between the 69xx IP Phone and their mobile phone.

answers the call. If the phone is idle, dial tone is returned. Pressing the key again toggles
audio to the speaker. At any time, you can lift the handset and audio will follow.
Separation of Transfer and Conference functions: Softkeys (Transfer, Add User and Join)
replace the Trans/Conf fixed-function keys on the 6900 series phones.
The Cancel fixed-function key which performed dual functionsend call or revoke a
feature is replaced by a Hang-up fixed-function key and a Cancel softkey.

6900 series phones provide a native Phonebook application for performing user lookups on
an external OpenLDAP directory server. Support for the legacy Phonebook is retained
through the addition of an embedded LDAP server accessible over MiNET. This allows 6900
series phones to access the MiVoice Business internal directory (Teldir).
Call History changes (6900 series phones only)
dedicated fixed-function key provided in lieu of softkey
addition of call count (draws attention to repeated missed calls from the same caller)
reduced number of entries in the Call History records by aggregating calls involving
the same party. Where record storage is limited, only one record per call type
(missed, answered, made) is logged for each party. If storage is not a consideration,
each aggregate record can be expanded to show details of individual calls.

Work Group/Branch Office Music on Hold

Workgroup and Branch Office Music on Hold (MoH) plays different audio sources to PSTN and
internal callers who are placed on hold or queued to a ring group or other destination. The
system-based MoH source by contrast uses the same source for all calls.
Using this feature you can provide MoH that is based on the holders location or group
membership.
The zone number is analogous to location. So all users in a given location could be provided a
distinct music source. Within that, a Call coverage index could be provided to individual
Directory Numbers. In addition, a call answered by a Ring Group member (but not a hunt
group) could be provided music on hold source that is independent of the Controller, Zone or
User that is placing the call on hold.
Audio sources available for use with this feature are as follows:

Embedded audio files - uses .WAV files uploaded to the system.


Live Music on Hold- uses a PC with an internet connection or third-party MoH server to
stream audio to an IP endpoint in the system.
The following precedence rules apply when a call is put on hold or queued:
1. Call Coverage Services audio source has highest precedence
2. Zone audio source has second highest precedence
3. System default audio source has the lowest precedence
ACD paths that are assigned music sources become the priority source for the group ahead of
any other sources.
When a call is queued to the path it receives the ACD Path MoH source. When a call is put on
hold by an agent or is played MoH as part of the agent's call announcement, the source used is
based on the agent's Call Coverage or Zone.
If no ACD music sources are provisioned, the Zone music source will be used if available. An
ACD path not in a Zone, is considered in the default Zone of the host switch and uses its MoH
source if available.

NOTE
This feature is intended for network topologies spanning no more than two
nodes. Clusters larger than this can deploy the feature but managing the audio
sources becomes difficult. (SDS does not provide audio source
synchronization).

27
MiVoice Business Release 8.0

Call Coverage based MoH works by looking at the Call Coverage index assigned to the user
(Figure 1). If one exists, and it has a valid audio source, the system will play it when the user
puts a call on hold. This applies to direct calls to the user and to calls the user originates. It does
not apply to calls distributed to the user through a group that supplies its own music source.

Figure 1 - Call Coverage Based Music on Hold

Network, Clustering, and Resiliency Installation and Maintenance Update

Zones are used to provision location-based services including default billing numbers, CESID,
and Call Admission Control. This makes them the best choice for configuring MoH in a branch
office deployment with a centralized host (Figure 2).
When calls to a group or user are placed on hold or queued, the MoH applied comes from the
Zone that the terminating switch is in.

Figure 2 - Zone Based Music on Hold

29
MiVoice Business Release 8.0

Music on Hold for workgroups is provisioned using either Call Coverage Services or Zones. The
type of group (hunt, ring, MDUG, etc.) that the workgroup members are in partly determines
which of the two you can use. Another consideration is whether the members are in the same
Zone.
If it's a ring group, for example, you can use either Call Coverage or Zones; if it's a hunt group,
you can only use Zones. When both MoH sources are provisioned, the Call Coverage source
takes precedence.
If the members are in different Zones (figure 3), then you should use Call Coverage to provision
MoH for the group.

Network, Clustering, and Resiliency Installation and Maintenance Update

ACD paths
ACD Express groups
Network Hunt Groups (Consider converting to a clustered ring group.)

In general, the decision to apply a particular music source when more than one is available
depends on the party who placed the call on hold or the entity (e.g., ring group or ACD path)
that the call is queued against.
When a device originates a call and puts it on hold they will always use their assigned MoH
source (Call Coverage or Zone). The only exception is members of a PRG/MdUG or a Single or
Linked Suite, which will always use the primary member's MoH.
In the reverse case (terminating party places member on hold), the call distribution method
determines which music source gets used. Calls distributed through a ring group or hunt group
will use the group's MoH not the member's. Calls direct to the member will get the member's
MoH.
Queued calls behave the same except that the queuing party may also receive announcements
along with music . Announcements get played first.
Other factors described also figure in music source selectionfor example, the type of user or
device that originated or terminated the call. (Some types only support Zone music sources.)
The Local Music on Hold and Music on Hold on Transfer COS options are another factor.

General
The system option for music on hold only controls the system default music source; it
has no effect on Workgroup and Branch Office Music on Hold.
Workgroup/Branch Office Music on Hold is backward compatible with systems
running older software releases. When a call is made over IP or DPNSS trunks from
an older system, the terminating system will apply the proper local MoH sources,
including any provisioned Workgroup/Branch Office sources.

Backwards compatibility only applies when the originating node is running older
software. If the remote member of a clustered ring group has local music on hold
enabled in its COS and is hosted on a node running older software, the
Workgoup/Branch Office MoH feature will not be available. The caller will hear the
system music source of the holding member.
Network Hunt Groups support do not support Workgroup/Branch Office Music on
Hold. If these groups require Workgroup and Branch Office Music on Hold, consider
converting them to a clustered ring group. When a member of the converted group
places a call on hold, the music source of the member will be applied and not that of
the group.

MiVoice Business Release 8.0

Resiliency and Clustering


Music sources are not shared between controllers in a resilient or clustered network.
It is only the Zone and Call Coverage indexes of the embedded music sources or
directory numbers of the music sources should IP endpoint that are shared. The
administrator is responsible for ensuring that the music files are present and aligned
in the same order on all controllers that are sharing Call Coverage and Zone
information.
Provisioning IP endpoint music sources across a cluster requires the use of local-
only DNs for the music source ports. Each controller must use the same numbers for
the sources. Otherwise, the music source will only be available on the node that
hosts it; all other nodes will see the DN as remote and ignore the music source.

To program Workgroup/Branch Office Music on Hold:


1. Set up the Embedded Music on Hold or Music on Hold over IP sources.
2. Network Zones form (if using)
Select the audio source, Embedded or IP Endpoint.
Select the index number of the audio file (for Embedded Music Source)
Or
Enter the DN of the IP port streaming the live music (Music On-Hold Music Source
field)
3. Call Coverage Services (if using) form
Complete the Music on Hold fields as described in the previous step.
4. In the following forms, assign users and other valid termination points the appropriate
Network Zone or Call Coverage Service index:
User and Services Configuration
Station Attributes
Ring Groups form
Hunt Groups

NOTE
You can complete the forms and share the configuration data with other nodes
in the network before you provision the music sources. The sources cannot be
shared; they must be manually provisioned on each node. Once the data is
shared, embedded sources are brought into service immediately after the
audio files are uploaded. IP music sources are brought into service within 15
minutes of provisioning the source endpoint.

Call Screening

The Call Screening feature (a Boss-Secretary Enhancement) allows devices configured as


Secretaries to receive (ring) and route back Boss's incoming calls, while the Boss device is in
Do Not Disturb (DND) state. The routed calls override the DND and ring the Boss's prime line.
The feature provides a simple way to turn the screening on or off, using the appropriate
programmable keys: DND on Boss, DSS/BLF (with or without the Superkey) on Secretary.
For devices (Secretaries) configured with Multicall and DSS/BLF appearances of other prime
DNs (Boss), this feature allows users to change the Ring Type (Ring or No Ring) of their
Multicall appearances, enabling them to receive and route their Boss's calls, as required.
When activated, this feature

places the monitored device (Boss) in Do Not Disturb (DND) state;


routes the Boss's incoming calls to the screening device or devices (Secretary), ringing the
Multicall line appearances of the Boss's prime DN on all screening devices;
allows one of the ringing Secretaries to either pick up the call or route it back to the Boss's
device using the DSS/BLF key. The routed call overrides the DND and rings the Boss's
prime line.

NOTE
Calls routed through a DSS/BLF key ALWAYS ring the called party's prime
line.
Screening devices can be configured as a Primary or Backup Secretary. Both
will ring when the feature is activated, but only Primary Secretaries can
activate or deactivate the feature, or route the calls back to the Boss.

Either the Boss or a Primary Secretary can activate or deactivate the feature, as follows:

Boss: Presses the DND key.


Call Screening is enabled or disabled on the Boss and all configured Secretary devices.
Secretary: Presses the DSS/BLF key for the time period specified by the Long Key Press
Timer OR presses the Superkey+DSS/BLF key.
Call Screening is enabled or disabled only on the particular Secretary device; however:

The first Secretary that enables the feature places the Boss in the DND state.
The last Secretary that disables the feature automatically disables the Boss's DND.

33
MiVoice Business Release 8.0

Call Screening is supported only by 69xx and 53xx IP phones, excluding 5302 and 5304.
The following features work in conjunction with Call Screening:

Do Not Disturb key must be configured on the Boss's device


Multicall or DSS/BLF (PK of the Boss's prime DN must be configured on the screening
device)
Call Rerouting allows the system to route Boss calls when no one is available to receive
them
Only 'standard' DSS/BLF line type, not the Secretarial, supports this feature.
If COS option "Long Key Press Timer" is disabled (set to 0), Superkey must be programmed on
the screening device.

Long Key Press Timer: This timer (range 1 to 5 seconds) specifies the length of time you
need to press a Programmable Key (PK) to launch a Key Inquiry session or to activate or
deactivate Call Screening from a Secretary device. Pressing a PK for this specified period of
time eliminates the need to press the Superkey beforehand. Enter 0 (zero) to disable the
long key pressing functionality.
The timer applies to 53xx and 69xx series phones only.
Boss and all Secretaries must share the same resiliency programming.
This feature does not affect Multicall appearances configured on the Boss's device.
When Boss's DN is busy, you cannot Override (Intrude) the Boss's device, since you cannot
override a busy multicall group. To use the Override option, a separate single DN must be
configured on the Boss's device.

Phonebook Directory

The Telephone Directory field, Include In Phonebook, allows you to create, schedule and
export a dialable Phonebook Directory for MiVoice Business Console.
This field defines the content of the Phonebook Directory export file, which, once imported into a
MiVoice Business Console, provides the operator with a searchable directory that includes only
dialable entries.

Only entries with Include In Phonebook set to 'Yes' are used for Telephone Directory lookups
for any Superkey and 5550/5540 IP Console Phonebook applications.

NOTE
By default, the following entries are set to 'No':
primary and secondary devices with service level 'IP Device Only'
'Multi-device', when not a member or not a prime member of a Multi-device
User Group.

To ensure accuracy and consistency of the Telephone Directory across the network, perform an
SDS Synchronization of the form for each node upgraded to MiVoice Business Release 8.0 or
restored from a previous release. If necessary, manually fix any entries with the incorrect
"Include In Phonebook' setting.

Multilingual Name Display support is extended to the Superkey Phonebook application.


In addition, Phonebook matches are displayed as follows:

full names are displayed on the first or second line (depending on the set) whenever
possible.
If there is not enough space, names are truncated according to the existing rules.

Business Schedules

Flexible Day/Night Service


Historically MiVoice Business has supported a single definition of Night Service system wide so
all groups would switch over at the same time. This is not always convenient as groups can
operate during different business hours.
With Release 8.0 you can treat groups of users (and other directory numbers) on a single
instance of software differently for day and night service routing.
For example :
Group A
Monday to Friday open from 08:00 to 18:00
Every Wednesday from 08:00 to 08:30 there is a team meeting and they want to route calls
elsewhere
Sat & Sun open from 10:00 until 16:00
Holiday open from 12:00 to 14:00

Group B
Monday to Friday open from 09:00 to 17:00
Sat & Sun open from 10 until 16:00
Holiday - closed
The Business Schedules form allows you to create up to 100 weekly Business Schedules,
which you can then assign to individual directory numbers (DN) listed in the Call Rerouting form.

MiVoice Business Console 8.0

The MiVB Console can be installed on any Windows 10 device.

Operators can use the Answer/Release buttons on Jabra and Plantronics headsets to
handle calls. Operators using wireless headsets can now answer a call while away from their
desk, and speak to the caller while walking back to the console position to complete call
handling.
Operators can answer and release calls using the buttons on Jabra and Plantronics headsets.
Other controls such as volume or mute are NOT supported.
There are different limitations for Jabra and Plantronics headsets:

Jabra headsets
Wired and wireless headsets. Bluetooth headsets are NOT supported.
Two Jabra headsets may be used at the same time but they must be different models.

Plantronics headsets
Wired and wireless, including Bluetooth headsets
One Plantronics headset may be used. If a second headset is required at the same time,
a Jabra headset may be used.
Note
For some wireless devices there can be a slight delay between the user
pressing the talk button and the console processing the event. Operators not
accustomed to this delay may press the button again, resulting in release of
the call.

Phone Book enhancements allow the administrator to exclude non-dialable telephone directory
entries such as a users 2nd line from the console's Phone Book.
The console now displays longer user names, longer department and location strings, email
addresses, and primary phone service indications.
User messaging and Calendar Integration features no longer require ADF as a prerequisite. As
a result, Operators on non-ADF systems can email users with a right click on the phonebook
entry. ADF remains a prerequisite for MiCollab Service Federation with third-party servers.

Master profile reduces the time required for installation of new consoles, especially in multi-
console environments. It also allows the Administrator to standardize console settings so that
all Console stations have consistent behavior.

Note
Master Profile will be delivered in MiVoice Business Console 8.0 Service Pack
1.

This feature allows the administrator to configure a single console and save the settings that are
common to all operators as a master profile. The master profile is then automatically imported
to each new console that is selected to use the master profile.
All consoles must be on the same release of console application s/w.
Master profile file may be kept anywhere in the network, including on one of the Console PCs.
Master profile is loaded upon startup by each console position.
If the path to network location is not available at start up, the console will start with the most
recent profile that was used (and is stored locally).

With MVB Console 8.0, a BLF All list ( ) is automatically generated and contains the list of
all the phone lines that are being monitored by the MiVoice Business Console. Any other BLF
lists that may have been created before in a system will remain.

Missed calls are now included in Call History. Each attendant will see calls missed by his/her
console.

My Queued Calls, within the Queued Calls area, provides a comprehensive view of all the
current calls in the console, that is, the Incoming, Held, Transferred, and the Parked calls.
Emergency Notification on Headset/Handset device
In addition to playing an emergency ring tone on the console ringer, the console will now play an
emergency notification tone on a headset/handset device if the option to hear ringing on a
headset/handset device is enabled.

This new option controls whether the console connects to the MiCollab Client Server using a
direct connection or a secure connection through the MiVoice Border Gateway

The 5550 IP Console is not technically supported on MiVB 8.0.


While Mitel has not actively taken steps to disable the 5550 IP Console, neither have we verified
that it will continue to work with MiVB 8.0. Practically this means that it may or may not work.
However if you request product support for the 5550 IP Console, you will likely be asked to
replace it with the MiVB Console since the 5550 IP Console is no longer supported.
Since the Operator position is usually an important one for any company, we encourage all
Partners to proactively plan the transition instead of waiting for a probem to occur, and then
being forced to transition to the MiVB Console at a less than ideal time.
