Incoming Call Identification
The Incoming Call Identification (ICI) application displays the calling party name
and telephone number on the user’s data terminal. Based on the displayed
information, the user can decide whether to answer the call or send the call to
coverage.
A sample scenario for the Incoming Call Identification application is as follows:
1. The application uses the Domain Control capability to monitor all calls
originated and received by or delivered to users’ phone sets.
2. When an incoming call is delivered to a user’s phone, the ECS sends an
Alerting Event Report containing the call’s CPN/BN and dialed number
(implies redirection if different from the alerting phone).
3. The application displays, at the user’s data terminal, the information
contained in the Event Report as the call rings the user’s phone. When
CPN/BN is available, the application searches its own database
3
(for
example, corporate directory or customers’ database) of names and
telephone numbers, so that the calling party name is also displayed on the
user’s terminal.
4. Based on the information displayed at the data terminal, the user can
answer the call or invoke the SAC feature from either the data terminal or
the telephone set. Alternately, the application may request Redirect Call
based on the information obtained.
Phone Management and Directory Services
A Phone Management and Directory Services application may allow telephone
users to:
■ Originate, answer, and manipulate calls at a station by using hold, transfer,
reconnect, answer, conference, and drop
■ Request to make a call using the called party name
■ Create a personal directory list (the user might define his or her own
directory to be used by the application when searching for a telephone
number to be included in call request)
3. The user may define the personal directory database to be used by the application.
