N-TeliView is call management software that runs with the NCSWare 4.0
system. The N-TeliView software can be installed on a Windows 95/98/
2000 or Windows NT PC.
To install the N-TeliView client software, you may load N-TeliView client
software on a network server and then using your company’s distribution
software, deliver the N-TeliView client software to each desktop PC.
Most frequently, this means loading the software onto a shared network file
server and copying the software to each desktop PC. Alternatively, you can
use N-TeliView CD ROM to install the program on each desktop.

Session Licensing and License Upgrades
NCS Ware (Release 4.0 or higher) comes with one free licensed connection
to support an N-TeliView client.
You can upgrade to Center, an application which includes N-TeliView as
well as N-TeliAgent (for workgroup agents) and NCS-Supervisor (for
workgroup supervisors) by purchasing a Center Server License and adding
client sessions.
If you upgrade to Center, session licenses can be added to the NCS Ware
server at any time and in discrete numbers: e.g. 4, 8, 16 and/or 32
simultaneous sessions. For example, to provide 24 desktops with 24
simultaneous connections, the installer will enter two purchased license
numbers; one number for 8 licenses and one number for 16 licenses using
the upgrade installation procedures. The system will have a capacity of 25
total simultaneous connections.
Further, if the customer later wants an additional 6 more simultaneous
connections, he would purchase another 8-user license (the closest number
to 6). The installer would enter the license number and NCS Ware will add
this number to the system’s total, providing this customer with a total of 33
(8+25) simultaneous connections.
The NCS Ware server does not need to be rebooted to activate these new
connections.
N-TeliView 4.0 software is packaged in different simultaneous session
licenses. Each package consists of the N-TeliView 4.0 installation CD,
manual and licensing for a particular number of sessions.
Customers may purchase one or more additional license packages for the
desired capacity of simultaneous N-TeliView sessions. For example, if
purchasing the 16 sessions license for a group of 20 people, all 20
workstations can have N-TeliView installed, but only 16 workstations can
use N-TeliView at the same time. (see “Upgrading Licenses” on page 4 for
installation instructions).
Before installation N-TeliView, please review the following checklist:
•Make sure that NCS Ware 4.0 has been installed on the NCS Serv
system.
•Make sure that N-TeliView VM Service has been installed on the NCS
Serv system, as discussed in a next subsection.
•Make sure that TCP/IP is enabled on both machines.
•Make sure the client is able to connect to the server on the network.

several of NCS Serv’s PBX functions directly from the desktop. These
functions include call handling, call forwarding, voice messaging,

Logging In
Before you log in
When you log in for the first time, you need to know either the server name
or the IP address of the server you’ll be linking to. If you use the server
name and not the IP address, N-TeliView replaces the name with the IP
address, eliminating the need of a DNS (Domain Naming System) search
each time you log in.
To obtain the NCS Serv IP address, ask your IT administrator.
If you are connecting to the Internet through a modem connection, before
you log in, establish a session connection from your PC to your local
Internet Service Provider. If you’re using a low-speed connection, the login
may take some time as a large amount of data is transferred to your desktop.

Logging in from a Remote Location (IP
Extension)
You can access N-TeliView from a remote location using an IP extension.
All the call handling functions are the same as logging in locally, with the
exception of the ability to configure N-TeliFind, One Number Access. You
can pick up voice mail, forward local business office phone calls to another
site such as a home desktop PC, and even receive the phone calls as you
would at the office.
In order to run N-TeliView remotely, if you connect to the Internet through
a modem connection, first you need to establish a session connection to
your Internet Service Provider.
To use N-TeliView remotely through an IP Extension, follow the steps below.
1.Check with your administrator to make sure the extension you’re using
has been set up as an IP extension in NCS Admin.
2.If you are not already running NetMeeting 3.01 or higher, download
and install it from Microsoft’s web or FTP sites.
3.Leave the IP Extension Integrated with NetMeeting check box
unchecked unless you specifically want to use that option. (See
Figure 1 on page 8.)
4.Click OK.
Note for those using the IP Extension Integrated with NetMeeting option. N-TeliView uses conferencing features that
require the same data channels as NetMeeting. If NetMeeting is
running, you will see a prompt reminding you to close the program.

Troubleshooting IP Connectivity
If problems occur, they may be due to a failure to connect to your ISP
provider or due to firewalls at your work preventing direct access to the
NCS Serv server. For firewall installation, see the NCS Ware Getting Started Manual chapter on Software Installation.
As a test, you can choose Run from the Windows Start menu, then enter
Ping <IP address> [ENTER]
where <IP address> is the NCS Serv system you want to connect to. An
example of the IP address form is 123.234.231.143
If you do not get a response, contact your LAN administrator for support.

Monitoring Extension Activity
If your extension’s configuration in the NCS Ware Administrator provides
for it, you can monitor the activity on other extensions.
If you’re a manager, for example, you might monitor to determine whether
you need more resources in a busy environment. Or, for another example,
you might use monitoring capability to cover calls for a co-worker, since
you can click the ringing telephone icon in the monitor list and take the coworker’s call.
Figure 20. Monitor window
Choosing Extensions to Monitor
Open the Monitor window by clicking the Monitor button in the
N-TeliView main window. This allows you to view the status of any

member extensions out of the display.
Reading the Monitor List
In the monitor list, each selected extension is listed along with its State,
Number, Name, and Group (workgroup), which shows only if the call is
coming into to a workgroup.
The state can be one of the following:
•Idle—the extension is not in use. You can click the State field of an
idle extension to have N-TeliView connect you to that extension.
•Connected—the extension is in use.
•Ringing—the telephone on the extension is ringing. You can click the
status box of that extension to answer a call from your own extension.
•Conference—the extension in on a conference call
•Voice Mail—the extension is in voice mail.
•Auto Attendant—the extension is connected to an Auto Attendant
•Holding - the extension is on hold

Viewing the Call History
Click the History tab in the Monitor window to view an informational
history of handled calls.
Figure 21. History window
The list in the History window displays the following fields:
•Number—the extension or phone number. Upward arrow icons
indicate outgoing calls; downward arrows indicate incoming calls
Clicking the Number field dials that number.
•Name—Caller ID information, if available; or, CallerUnknown.
•Time—the call’s date and time.
This history data is sorted by last disconnected and not in
the order the call was received. It is therefore possible to
have a record with an earlier timestamp followed by a
record with a later timestamp.
Also, the timestamp for call data is based on the client system, while
the timestamp for voice mail messages is from NCS Serv. Thus, the
times displayed here may not match those in the voice mail view in the
main window.
•Duration—the length of time of each call.
•DNIS—displays DNIS digits collected, if available.
•Group— the extension’s workgroup number, if available.
•Memo—a note attached to the call. You can add memos by selecting

digit and any long distance prefix digits such as 1 and area code.
If you want to use N-TeliFind, One Number Access, see page 40.
There is a “1-hop” limit to call forwarding. For example, ext. 101 forwards
to ext. 102, and Ext. 102 forwards to ext. 103. A call to ext. 101 will ring
ext.102 but will not re-forward to ext. 103 because of the 1-hop limit.
Instead, if ext.102 does not answer, the call is sent to ext.101’s voice mail.

Forwarding to a Pager Not Recommended
Forwarding calls to a pager is possible but not recommended since callers

Configuring Your Station Features
N- TeliFind, One Number Access
If you are expecting calls that you want to receive regardless of where you
are, you can have the system send the call to you by dialing pre-determined
numbers based on a pre-determined schedule.
When N-TeliFind, One Number Access, is active and a call comes in to
your extension, the system checks to see if the number represents a call you
want to receive. If it finds a match, it calls you at the number you specified.
N-TeliFind depends on the ability to identify the incoming call by the
Caller ID. If the system can’t identify the call, it can’t make a match.
If the system is unable to connect the call, the caller is sent into the user’s
voice mail.
Before You Set Up N-TeliFind, One Number Access
Before you use N-TeliFind, you need to make sure your call handling
settings are appropriate (see page 43).
Also, N-TeliFind, One number Access must be enabled in the NCS Ware
Administrator. Note that to use N-TeliFind to forward to outside lines, that
feature must also be enabled as an Extension Configuration restriction in
the Administrator. Check with your system administrator if you have
questions about these settings.
All system and extension call restrictions apply for N-TeliFind, One
Number Access. For example, if Do Not Disturb is enabled, the call will
go into voice mail and not to the access number you specified. So if you
want to use N-TeliFind, make sure Do Not Disturb is disabled. Or if the line
is busy, the call will be handled according to the extension’s Busy Call
Handling configuration.
