MCC 3100 for BlackBerry features

The Nortel Mobile Communication Client 3100 (MCC 3100) for BlackBerry application allows you to achieve real-time communication with the Nortel Mobile Communication Gateway 3100 (MCG 3100) and Nortel Communication Server. The term Communication Server means all communication servers that MC 3100 supports. For more information, see the MC 3100 Product Bulletin at www.nortel.com.

MCC 3100 extends the enterprise collaboration functionality to a Research in Motion (RIM) BlackBerry mobile device using a data (Internet) connection over the cellular network. With MCC 3100, you can perform the following tasks:

• Manage your friends using the MCC local directory and the BlackBerry address book.

• Search for friends in the Corporate Directory and in the MCC 3100 local directory.

• Use the logs to view your most recent incoming and outgoing calls, voice mail indicator, and system events.

• Receive a message waiting indication (MWI) when you rece ive a new voice mail message.

• Create a group containing multiple friends and then initiate an ad hoc conference call to the group members.

Introduction

• Redirect your incoming calls to alternative contact locations (for example, office, home, other).

• Associate a single number with all of your outbound calls. Use the following call modes:

— Direct Outbound—This is the basic mode. You can initiate calls

directly from your BlackBerry to other parties by dialing or selecting friends to call. This direct mode uses an Outgoing Call Service DN to access the MCG 3100 in the enterprise.The MCG 3100 then dials the number entered in the MCC 3100 using the enterprise dial plan.

— Call-me-First—This is a call option in the advanced call mode,

and you can choose many other advanced calling options (for example, outgoing prefix, calling locations). Call-me-First calls take two steps to complete. First, the MCG 3100 calls you at a chosen location. After you answer, the MCG 3100 initiates the call by calling the number you entered in the MCC 31 00 using the

enterprise dial plan. For more information, see “Call modes” on page 54. Note: You must configure your Outgoing Call Service DN in the

MCC 3100 settings before you can use the Direct Outbound call mode. Your system administrator provides the Outgoing Ca ll Servic e DN to allow direct MCC 3100 calling from your BlackBerry.

For more information, see “Initial configuration” on page 25.

Before you begin

Before you install the MCC 3100 application, complete the following checklist:

• Install the BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.2 software and ensure it is working properly.

• Become familiar with navigation and data entry methods for your BlackBerry.
