Introduction
Mobile Connect features enable you to answer incoming calls on the desktop phone or cellular phone, to pick up in-progress calls on the desktop phone or cellular phone without losing the connection, and to originate enterprise calls from the cellular phone. You can perform these functions:
•
Pick up incoming calls on your desk or cellular phone. Incoming calls ring simultaneously on your desktop phone and cellular phone. When you answer one of the lines, the call is connected and the other phone stops ringing.
•Move from your desktop phone to cellular phone or from your cellular phone to desktop phone during a call without losing the connection.
•Use Mobile Voice Access of Cisco MobilityManager to initiate a call from a remote phone as if you were using your enterprise desktop phone. Mobile Voice Access is an integrated voice response (IVR) system used to initiate Mobile Connect calls and to activate or deactivate Mobile Connect capabilities. When you initiate a call using Mobile Voice Access, you can switch between your desktop phone during the call and back again without losing the connection.
When using Cisco Mobile Connect, you must add your mobile and other phones that you want to use to make and receive calls using the same directory numbers as your desk phone. These phones are called remote destinations.You can also define access lists to restrict or allow calls from certain numbers to be sent to your mobile phone.
Cisco Mobile Connect is an enterprise mobility service that associates your desktop IP phone number with up to four remote phone destinations such as your mobile phone to allow enterprise mobile workers to receive all phone calls to their IP phone number at multiple phone destinations simultaneously. There is no dependency on the type of phone or service provider used to reach the remote phone destination.Mobile Connect will allow users to receive an outside call on their desktop or mobile phone, they can also move back from a mobile phone to their desktop phone, also while in a mobile connect call they can use the mid-call enterprise features offered by Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
