Introduction

About this manual

This manual contains all that you need to know to operate your PCS 571/572 connected to a SpliceCom maximiser system using version 3.2 software. This manual assumes that the PCS 571/572 telephone has been connected and configured by your System Administrator, and is ready for use. If this is not the case please refer to your System Administrator for further assistance.

How your PCS 571/572 will operate

Your User Account

You are a “User” of the SpliceCom maximiser telephone system and as such you have a User account on the system. Your User name will be used to identify you as you make, receive and transfer calls. Each of your colleagues will also have a User account and will be identified in the same way, by their User name. A list of the Users of your telephone system can be viewed via the Directory as explained in the Contacts Directory section from page 22.

As a User on the system you will be given an extension number, eg 2021, and possibly a DDI number, eg 01632 563862. So that when a colleague rings your extension number or an external contact rings your DDI number these will be routed to your User account.

Your User account will store all of your User settings (as described in the User Settings section from page

31) so that when you login to another handset (as described in the Hot Desking/Log In section from page

55) these settings will be available to you and your calls will be routed to whichever phone you are logged on to.

Logging On

In most implementations the PCS 571/572 will be your permanent desktop phone and such it will have been automatically allocated to you by your System Administrator therefore there will be no need for you to log in or log out. However, if you are a Hot Desk User, in other words a User who has been given the ability to log in to any phone on the system because, for example, you need to move around the building or you are rarely in the office and do not need a permanent telephone please refer to the Hot Desking/Log In section from page 55 for further information.

Home Page

The default display on your telephone when idle will display the SpliceCom logo together with your User Name, extension number and the current date and time. Please refer to your system administrator if you would like this changed, for example, to display your company logo. You can also determine what is displayed on the screen when your handset is idle, please refer to the Defaults section from page 37 for further details.

While using your phone you can return to your home page by pressing the context sensitive key beside the Home icon.

Introduction 2 PCS 571/572 User Manual v3.2/0913/1

Hands free Operation

Hands free operation of the PCS 571/572 enables you to have a telephone conversation via the phone’s speakers. This is done by pressing the Speaker button rather than lifting the handset. You can switch between hands free and handset during a call as described in the Switch to Hands Free section from page 16.

If you connect a headset to the headset port on the PCS 571/572 your hands free conversation will be via the headset and not through the phone’s speaker. You can configure your phone so that the ringing tone will only be heard via your headset, please refer to the Headset Ringing section from page 39 for further details.

Your phone can be configured so that your calls can only be handled hands free, when using a headset in most cases, and the handset will become inoperable. This may have already been configured for you. Please refer to your System Administrator for further details.

Screen Saver Mode

Your PCS 571/572 may be configured so that the context sensitive display will dim after your phone has been idle for a certain amount of time. If this feature has been configured on your phone as soon as you use your PCS 571/572 again the display will return to full brightness. Your PCS 571/572 may also be configured so that a screen saver (blank screen) will appear either at a set time (usually during the night) or when your phone has been idle for a certain amount of time. If this feature has been configured on your phone as soon as you use your PCS 571/572 again the display will return to normal. Please refer to your System Administrator for further information.

Your phone off hook

When your phone is off hook, ie when you lift the handset or press the Speaker button, the context sensitive key beside the Hang Up icon will enable you to cancel a call you are starting to make. If your phone is off hook because you have lifted your handset, when you press this key Call Status will be displayed to enable you to pick up a call or dial one of your speed dials. (For further information on these facilities please refer to the Parking a call section from page 12 and the Favourites (Speed Dials) section from page 31 for further details.) Alternatively, replace your handset. If your phone is off hook because you have pressed the Speaker button or are using hands free, when you press this key your home page will be displayed.

Feature Highlights

Access to the System Database

Your PCS 571/572 gives you access to a database of information stored on your maximiser system that provides directories of telephone numbers (internal and external) to help you to quickly and easily make and transfer calls.

Dial Ahead

The Dial Ahead facility allows you to enter a number on the keypad before actually dialling the number. This is useful if you have, for example, a long international number to enter. If you enter an internal number, Dial Ahead will check the status of the colleague’s extension; whether the User is free, busy or has do not disturb set. You can then choose to ring your colleague, leave a voicemail message (if enabled) or ring back later.

Parking a Call

All calls received can be put on hold and the call remains in your control. However another way to place a call on hold is to park the call into a system area that allows your colleagues to easily pick up the call when they are ready and in the meantime you are able to continue with other calls.

Favourites

As well as access to a directory of telephone numbers stored on the telephone system’s database you can also have your own list of “favourite” numbers that you regularly call or transfer calls to. Your Favourites

will also act as Busy Lamp Fields indicating when internal extensions are engaged or receiving calls and allow you to pick up a call ringing on a colleague’s extension.

Introduction PCS 571/572 User Manual v3.2/0913/1 5

Call Recording

Your PCS 571/572 gives you the ability to manually instigate personal call recording allowing you to record your calls as and when required. Each call recording can be saved as a voicemail message and therefore easily accessed or saved in a centralised file. Please note that feature is controlled by your system administrator; please contact your system administrator for further details.

Voicemail

The SpliceCom maximiser system provides standard voicemail functionality allowing your callers to leave a message and your PCS 571/572 allows you to easily manage these messages. Please note that feature is controlled by your system administrator; please contact your system administrator for further details.

Viewing Notes during a call

During the process of a call you can view notes related to that call or to the contact the call was made to or received from. The note might have been added when the call was originally received by, for example, the receptionist before transferring the call to you and may give details of the nature of the call helping you to deal with the call proficiently. If the call is received from or made to an external number stored on the central database you can view the notes previously saved with this contact.

Hot Desking

If you share your PCS 571/572 with other colleagues you can log in using your own extension number and access code so that you can use your own settings and be identified with your name when you make and receive calls.

SpliceCom LED

The SpliceCom LED will flash if you have Do Not Disturb set and/or you have received a new voicemail message.

Contacts Directory 22 PCS 571/572 User Manual v3.2/0913/1

Contacts Directory

Provided with the maximiser system is the ability to set up a database of contact information that can be accessed via your PCS 571/572. Your System Administrator is responsible for the maintenance of this database and will be able to assist you with your queries. The purpose of this database is to provide you with a directory of telephone numbers to enable you to make calls quickly and easily; and to match incoming telephone numbers so that you can identify callers and handle the calls in the appropriate manner.

The directory on your PCS 571/572 uses this database to enable to you quickly and easily call a colleague, an external customer or supplier, for example, and an internal department.

The directory enables you to call or transfer a call to a colleague without having to remember their extension number. Each of your colleagues will have a User account on the telephone system and the directory will list your colleagues by that User name making it easier for you to phone either their extension number, mobile or home number. (If you do not wish the directory to display the Users of your telephone system please refer to the Directory Filters section from page 38.)

The directory enables you to call or transfer a call to an external contact such as a customer, supplier, partner etc entered on the database. (If you do not wish the directory to display external contacts stored on the database please refer to the Directory Filters section from page 38.)

The directory will also enable you to call or transfer a call to an internal Department where the call can be answered by any one of a group of people, such as Sales, Support, Accounts etc. For further information on Departments please refer to page 28. (If you do not wish the directory to display Departments please refer to the Directory Filters section from page 38.)

The directory will display your speed dials once created (please refer to page 31 for further details) enabling you to call or transfer calls to regularly used numbers. (If you do not wish the directory to display your speed dials please refer to the Directory Filters section from page 38.)

(Please note that if you create a Favourite (speed dial) for a number also stored on the database, when a call is received from this number the incoming CLI will be matched to the speed dial in preference to the database entry. This means that the speed dial name will be displayed in Call Status instead of the name stored in the database.)

Departments 28 PCS 571/572 User Manual v3.2/0913/1

Departments

Departments are a feature of the maximiser system that allows calls to be routed efficiently to a group of Users by dialling one number either internally or externally.

The following describes the usage of your PCS 571/572 when Departments are used on your maximiser system.

Working as a member of a Department

Due to your role in your company you may have been placed in a Group on the maximiser system. For example, if you are part of a Sales team you may be placed in a Sales Group, or part of a Reception team or part of a Support team you may have been placed in a Group. The purpose of creating Groups on your system is to ensure the efficient handling of incoming calls. For example, you may wish to ensure all incoming calls to Reception are shared among several colleagues to ensure the calls are answered quickly, or you may wish to ensure that support calls are shared equally among the Support team.

A Department determines the routing of a call to a Group and your System Administrator will inform you if you will be receiving Department calls and how that Department is configured.

Receiving a Department call

When you receive a call for a Department, instead of your details being displayed, Call Status will display the Department name. This allows you to determine, before answering the call, whether you are receiving a personal or Department call and allows you to answer the call in the correct manner.

PCS 571/572 User Manual

Departments PCS 571/572 User Manual v3.2/0913/1 29

Wrap Up Time

If a Wrap Up Time has been configured for the Department, at the end of the call the Wrap Up screen will be displayed and you will not receive another call until this time has elapsed. This will give you time for any administrative tasks, such as updating a database etc.

 The amount of wrap up time remaining is displayed at the bottom left hand

corner of the wrap-up screen.

 You can override this Wrap Up Time by selecting the context sensitive key

beside the Wrap Up icon or by placing your phone off-hook and then onhook.

 If you need more time you can select the context sensitive button beside

the DND icon to turn on Do Not Disturb. To turn this off, when you are finished, please refer to the Do Not Disturb section from page 43.

(If you are an Agent within a Vision Call Centre the Wrap Up screen may display Completion Codes for you to select. Please refer to your System Administrator for further details.)

Make a call to a Department

You may wish to ring a Department in order to talk to an available member of the Personnel department, for example, rather than ringing one specific member of that department only to find they are not available and then having to ring another extension, etc.

If you know the extension number of the Department required you can dial this number in the normal way. Alternatively, you can use the Contacts directory to call the Department as follows:

Press the Contacts button to access the directory 2 Use the Search facility to find the Department required

Remote PSTN

Remote PSTN is a facility of the telephone system which enables you to receive and make calls from your home or mobile telephone, for example, as though you were in the office. This means that your callers or recipients of your calls will be unaware that you are working at home, for example. You will not incur call charges and you will be able to handle calls as if you were in the office, eg transfer calls. If you are interested in using this facility please refer to your System Administration for further details.

If the Remote PSTN Mode banner is displayed on your phone this facility has already been configured for you and has been enabled. Your calls will be received on the Remote PSTN number configured, eg your mobile. Please refer to your System Administrator for further details.
