Useful terms to know
The Personal Agent uses some terms that may be new to you. Read through the
explanations to familiarize yourself with the following terms:
•“Service package” on page 14
•“Address” on page 15
•“Global address book” on page 15
•“Personal address book” on page 15
•“Friends” on page 15
•“Presence” on page 16
Service package
Your service provider or system administrator assigns a service package with
predefined features and options for yo u. These features are a vailable to you if the y
are listed in your service package. For example, your service package defines
•the maximum number of entries in your list of Friends
•the maximum number of callers permitted in an audio conference
•if voice mail enabled.
NN42040-105 Nortel AS 5300 Release 1.0Standard 01.02June 2008
Page 15
Address
When an address is required in a procedure, enter either a Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP) address or a telephone number . A SIP address is a unique identif ier
of users on the IP network. The SIP address has the same format as an e-mail
address, for example, jdoe@lab1.org, but it is not an e-mail address. The network
can identify where you are and route your calls by tracking your SIP address when
you sign in to any Multimedia PC Client, Nortel IP Phone.
To make it easier to place calls, you can store addresses (SIP addresses or
telephone numbers) in your personal address book.
Global address book
Your global address book lists all the registered users on your network. With the
Personal Agent, you can search for a user name, user ID, first name, last name, or
phone number. You initiate a call by clicking an entry in your global address
book. Your service provider or system administrator maintains this list. This is an
optional feature and can be turned off by your system administrator.
15
Personal address book
You can use your personal address book to manage addresses. You can save your
addresses for quick access, as well as organize addresses into groups. Your
personal address book is synchronized across all your network access devices. If
you make a change in your personal address book on the Personal Agent, the
change automatically appears on your other network access devices (for example,
your Multimedia PC Client and your IP Phone).
Friends
In your personal address book, you can designate entries as Friends. When you
mark an address book entry as a Friend, you can see the online presence status for
that entry in the Multimedia PC Client, or IP Phone.
NN42040-105 Personal Agent User Guide
Page 16
16
Note: The ability to designate entries as Friends is a feature of
the Presence service and depends on your service pac kage. The
ability to designate entries as Friends is available only when the
Presence service is included in your service package.
Presence
The following terms describe the presence feature:
•Presence: a service on the Multimedia PC Client, or IP Phone that indicates
the online status of you and other users on your network.
•Automatic presence: a service on the Multimedia PC Client, or IP Phone that
you configure to make the system automatically alert others when you are
away from your PC or on the telephone.
Note: The ability to configure automatic presence notifications
on the Personal Agent depends on your service package. This
feature must be enabled in your service package before you can
use automatic presence.
•Presence Indicators: You can determine the status of anyone registered in the
system by querying the global address book in the Personal Agent. This
feature is helpful when sending instant messages or after unanswered calls.
NN42040-105 Nortel AS 5300 Release 1.0Standard 01.02June 2008

The Personal Agent Route wizard solve s the problem of having different contact
numbers for different communication devices. For example, office phone, home
phone, or mobile. Use the Route wizard to build routes for all or specific incoming
calls, or to block anonymous callers.
Note: Advanced screening must be enabled in your service package to
use the Personal Agent routing capabilities. If you do not have routing
capability , you ha ve a def ault route configured that rings your telephone.
If you subscribe to the voice mail service, unanswered calls route to your
voicemail.
Topics in this chapter include:
•“Understanding Routing” on page 68
•“Understanding the Personal Agent Route wizard” on page 68
•“Using the Personal Agent Route wizard” on page 69

Tip: Some features, such as Call forward, can be configured at the
IP Phones and may override the routes that you configure with the
Personal Agent.

Understanding Routing
Use routes to perform actions on your incoming calls and instant messages (IM)
based on a set of conditions or exceptions. For example, you can create a route
named Lunch that specifies a condition that calls receiv ed between 12:00 p.m. and
1:00 p.m. Monday through Friday are routed to your mobile phone first and then
sent to your voice mail.
Tip: Routes apply to incoming calls in the order they are listed in the
List of Routes window. Click Move up or Move down to change the
order of how your incoming calls are treated.
Understanding the Personal Agent Route wizard
You use the Personal Agent Route wizard to create routes. The wizard presents
step-by-step procedure that makes the task of creating rules and conditions for
your incoming calls easier.
Use the Route wizard to:
•define routes to handle your incoming calls and instant messages
•specify how specific calls should be presented to you and on what devices in a
simultaneous or sequential fashion
•specify personalized time blocks to further define your routes so that you are
always reachable
•send an instant message when proces sing a ring list
Note: Your routes are bypassed when you place an emergency services
call. Calls returned by emergency services personnel bypass your route
list and ring at the location where the call originated.

NN42040-105 Personal Agent User Guide
Page 76
76
Specifying ordered lists
Use the Personal Agent to configure ho w and where you want your incoming calls
to ring by using ordered lists. An ordered list is a group of SIP addresses or phone
numbers associated with your user name (the name you register under) in your
organization's or service provider's user database. An ordered list enables your
incoming calls to follow you if you are not at your desk or primary device
location.
Using ordered lists, you can specify the sequence of phone numbers to ring first,
second, and so on. You can specify how many times the phone in each list should
ring. Finally, you can specify whether or not the incoming call should go to voice
mail (if you are subscribed to and provisioned for voice mail).
Tip: Your service package restricts the maximum number of ordered
lists and phone numbers in each list.
Your calls route differently based on the identity of the caller. Based on your
ordered lists, incoming calls can be forwarded or routed to any number of devices
or clients. You can send a Web page in response to an incoming call, as well as
send a response in the form of an instant message.
Specifying an ordered list
To specify an ordered list for your incoming calls, perform the following steps.
1In the Step 3: Actions window, select Ring my devices in the following
ordered list.
Note: Your service package controls the options available in this
window.
Note: The number of ordered lists grows depending on the Advanced
Screening service parameters in your service package. If you have Voice
mail enabled in your service package, the option for "If no answer then
send to voicemail" appears when creating an ordered list.
NN42040-105 Nortel AS 5300 Release 1.0Standard 01.02June 2008
