GLOSSARY
Glossary of terms with definitions based on Cisco BroadCloud Cloud Calling Features unless otherwise noted. Listed alphabetically with lines separating letters.
Account / Site Admin Web Portal
Web tools for Site self-administration and the User Dashboard allow easy setup and manipulation of features such as Automated Attendant, Hunt Groups, Call Rules, Call History Reporting, Selective Call Forwarding, and Voice Messaging.
Alternate Numbers with Distinctive Ring
Enables users to have up to ten phone numbers and/or extensions assigned to them. The usual ringing is provided for incoming calls to the primary phone number and users have the option of enabling a distinctive ring for calls to their second and third phone numbers. For outgoing calls from the user, the user’s primary phone number is the calling line identity. This feature is often used to allow a single station to be called locally from multiple originating local calling areas.
Analog Hotline
The Analog Hotline (sometimes referred to as Automatic Ring Down or Hot Dial) feature configures an analog telephone connected to an Analog Telephone Adaptor (ATA) to automatically call a pre-configured telephone number when taken off hook. When configured, the telephone only makes calls to one number and cannot be used to call any other number.
Anonymous Call Rejection
Enables a user to reject calls from anonymous parties who have explicitly restricted their Caller ID. By activating the service via My Phone or dialing the Feature Access Code (FAC), callers without available caller identification are informed that the user is not accepting calls at that time. The user’s phone does not ring and the user sees or hears no indication of the attempted call. This service does not apply to calls from within the group. You can deactivate the feature through My Phone or the FAC.
Authentication
Authentication is performed upon the registration of an IP phone. This ensures that the End User Subscriber of the device is authorized to gain access to the BroadCloud service.
Auto Attendant
Automated call answering and routing to the desired party or station. A recorded greeting is played to the caller after which the call is transferred to other stations or services. The Site Administrator uses a powerful web based tool to define how calls are to be transferred. Functions include: • Allow/Disallow Direct Extension Dialing – Provides ability for callers to dial a known extension at any time to connect with the user, without requiring additional prompts • Enterprise Wide or Site Specific Dialing Options – Refines the list of available users and extensions to include with the Internal dialing options • Schedule – Defines Days/Hours for normal business operations, as well as holidays. Supporting distinct greeting messages and routing actions for Business Hours vs. After Hours.
Barge-In Exempt
Enables a user to manage Barge-in settings to include allowing/not allowing users to Barge-in on your calls, and enabling/disabling the playing of a Barge-in warning tone.
Business Continuity (CFNR)
Business Continuity/Call Forwarding Not Reachable (CFNR) allows a user to designate a phone number for all calls to route to when your main phone is not reachable due issues such as unplugged phone, power outage, or natural disaster. Users have the option to activate and deactivate the service by dialing the feature code to activate or deactivate, or by configuring the service via My Phone. If activated, a user must specify the forwarding number. A status indicator on the My Phone desktop identifies whether this service is enabled.

Similarly, your contacts can see your presence on their contact list. Icons are used to indicate your current presence status- such as online, in a call, In a meeting, busy, or idle. Your presence status is managed automatically by the system based on your activities; if desired, users may manually set their presence status.
Selective Call Acceptance

All other calls are blocked and the caller is informed that the user does not wish to receive the call. The user controls the service via a web interface My Phone, which provides the ability to establish the criteria sets for determining which calls are allowed to complete.

If an incoming call meets End User Subscriber-specified criteria, the call is blocked and the caller is informed that the End User Subscriber is not accepting calls. The End User Subscriber controls the service via a web interface, which provides the ability to establish the criteria sets for determining which calls require blocking. A criteria set is based on incoming calling line identity, time of day, and day of week. Multiple criteria sets can be defined.
Sequential Ring
Enables users to define a “find-me” list of phone numbers that are alerted sequentially for incoming calls that match specified criteria. While the service searches for the user, the calling party is provided with a greeting followed by periodic comfort announcements. The caller can also interrupt the search to leave a message by pressing a DTMF key.
Series Completion
A Hosted POTS line feature. Every site turned up with at least two Hosted POTS lines includes Series completion at no additional charge, providing all the benefits of the traditional POTS provider hunt group, with enhanced control, and significantly less cost.
Shared Call Appearance
Allows for incoming calls to ring on up to 35 additional Site phones simultaneously for a Premium Station, 5 additional Site phones for a Standard Station, and 1 for Basic Station connecting the first phone to be answered. If one of the phones is already hosting an active call under the line ID, incoming calls are delivered to the active phone and any outgoing calls from another phone using the same line ID are blocked. Shared Call Appearance is used to associate a user’s Mobile or Desktop client with their main number.
Simultaneous Ring
Enables users to have multiple phones ring simultaneously when any calls are received on their BroadCloud phone number. The first phone to be answered is connected. For example, calls to a user’s desk phone could also ring the user’s mobile phone, in case the user is not at his/her desk. An optional setting for this feature is Answer Confirmation which requires the user answering the call to hit a digit on their phone before the call is completed. This ensures that a call is not picked by a voice messaging system before the call can be answered which may happen if a call is ringing to a cell phone that is turned off. With Answer Confirmation turned and a cell phone is turned off, other phones in the simultaneous ring list will still ring and can be answered.
Speed Dial
Functionality in the My Phone portal allows Users to program up to one hundred personal speed dial entries (00 -99) that can be dialed directly from the portal or used on their desk phones. Speed Dial entries configured in the My Phone – My Number portal are automatically accessible on the User’s desk phone.
