The contacts are shown in the form of tiles. RCS contacts are shown with their presence statuses and with avatars. Clicking on a particular RCS contact shows the profile details.

Chats are shown in much the same way as is common now on mobile devices, i.e. divided in threads per addressee.

It can also be opened by clicking on the chat icon on the top bar.

The portal allows users to make both ONNET, i.e. calls to other RCS clients, and OFFNET - to non RCS numbers, calls.

Onnet calls

ONNET(audio,video) calls can be initiated directly from Chat after selecting an RCS user.

OFFNET calls can be initiated directly from all the views after selecting the call icon which opens the dialpad.

Find me

 

Find me view allows to setup multiple rules for call redirection such as:

  • forward to voicemail

  • forward to other number

  • call waiting - which allow to play music while ringing (on incoming calls)

  • fast busy - which allow to immediately reject a call

  • fax - which allow to receive a fax (over T38 protocol)

Add rule

To add a new Find Me rule click on “+” sign in bottom right corner.
Once you click it a pop-up should appear.

Once all possible settings are configured click on “SAVE” button.

Detailed description of each field:

  • From - defines for which caller ID the rule should be applied, for ex. calls from particular number should be immediately/uncondidtional sent to Voicemail (without ringing on user account), define a rule with From number, set its Response to Voicemail and choose DND (do not disturb/unconditional flag)

     

  • DID number - this field allows to trigger a rule only for particular DID number on which the incoming call was placed, for ex. two did numbers 48600111222 and 48600123123 are assigned to an user, if somebody call on 48600111222 call will be ringing on user account but on the second number we can setup it always to receive a FAX, in such case following settings should be applied :

  • Priority - it is possible to setup multiple forwarding rules for ex. in case if first forward number is failing to be answered the call can be forwarded to second priority (this works only if there is no 3rd party voicemail involved, because voicemail is treated as connected call and not failing one).

  • Response - field defines the options that can be set for a call for ex.:

    • Voicemail - sends call to user voicemail, can be set unconditional (DND checkbox) and as conditional setup (checkboxes for Offline, Busy, No answer)

    • Forward - sends call to number specified in To field, can be set as both unconditional and conditional setup same like Voicemail

    • Fax - sends call to fax answering machine (allow only to receive fax over T38), can be set only as unconditional

    • Call waiting - allows to play some greeting file instead of standard ringback tone, loop checkbox allows to choose if it shall play in loop or play only once and then generated ringtone will be played.
      This option works only as unconditional, for every incoming call greeting will be played. It can be combined with Forward and Voicemail options but not any other unconditional rules.

    • Fast busy - allows to play some greeting file and drop the call unconditionally, if no greeting is chosen it will play standard “beep” file

  • To - field appear only with conjunction of Response Forward option, it allows to enter destination phone number to which call should be forwarded

  • Greeting - this field allows to select a greeting file to be played during a Response action, Loop checkbox allows to use it in loop or to be played only once

  • DND - to setup a rule as unconditional - check this checkbox, otherwise it is possible to use checkboxes Offline Busy and No answer to define a conditional rule.
