Chapter 1 Introduction Welcome The Ericsson CG 2400 PC Cordless Phone System is a combination of hardware and software that you can use to control and route incoming communications (phone, fax, and email) and simplify outgoing communications through such features as speechactivated dialing. The main components are: • The base station, which connects your public telephone service to your PC and interfaces between the phone lines, the PC, and the handset. • The CyberGenie@Work software application, which provides an interface through the PC for the entire system. • A handset that works like a cordless phone, from which you can receive and originate calls. The CG 2400 System uses 2.4 GHz Digital Spread Spectrum technology, which means that the quality of sound is as good as that of conventional phones, and no one can eavesdrop on your calls. About CyberGenie Ericsson's CyberGenie technology provides a virtual personal assistant, an interactive way to access and control incoming and outgoing communications. This Guide This guide gives you the information you need for the full setup and use of your CG 2400 PC Phone System. Use it as a learning tool by going through the entire manual in sequence, or use it for reference on specific features and procedures. CyberGenie also lets you interact with many system features from the handset keypad or with voice commands. Interacting with the System There are several ways you can interact with the system: Use CyberGenie from the handset When you press the key on the handset, you are accessing the speech user interface. CyberGenie will ask Who would you like to call? If you give CyberGenie the name of a contact or another user that has been set up for speech recognition, it will dial the number for you. If you answer with “CyberGenie,” you start at the first level of speech menu options. CyberGenie walks you through the options available. As you become familiar with the options, you can use speech or keypad shortcuts to quickly access functions. Use the handset keypad options Use the handset display menu Use the PC Many of the options available by speech interface are also available by pressing a key on the handset keypad. From the handset, you can access various menu options by pressing the keys on the handset. Menu options will display, and you can move through the options with the keys, select an option with the key, or move back up a level in the menu with the key. From the PC, you can set up users and contact information, set up other system information, track and manage calls, and more.

This person would be the system administrator in charge of: • Installing the software • Connecting the hardware • Configuring the system fully • Setting up new handsets and users • Managing the system from the PC Once the system is installed, anyone who can use a cordless telephone can use a CyberGenie handset. Basic handset procedures are described in the Handset Quick Reference. Detailed procedural information is also available in this guide. Key Words The software that drives your Ericsson telephony system. CyberGenie@Work server The application that runs CyberGenie@Work in the background. It loads automatically when you start your PC and must remain up and running for your CG 2400 system to operate fully. CyberGenie@Work The software user interface. This can be closed without shutting down the server. application Base station The hardware that receives and processes call information, then passes it on to CyberGenie@Work. Handset The device that serves as a cordless phone as well as a link between you and CyberGenie. CG 2400 system The complete Ericsson small office or home office PC telephony system. The basic components of the CG 2400 are the base station, a handset, and the CyberGenie@Work software. Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the following terms: Telephony Auto attendant Your virtual personal assistant. This is the voice a caller hears when phoning in, or the user hears when checking messages or accessing a speech-activated feature through the handset. CyberGenie combines auto attendant features with other advanced speech recognition command features that greet and direct incoming calls and provide the CyberGenie user with an interactive speech interface to many system features. Unlike some earlier ASR technology, you do not have to “train” CyberGenie to understand your voice. CyberGenie@Work With this guide, anyone with a working knowledge of Windows 98 can do the system administrator job. Handset user A technology that allows a computer to recognize and respond to spoken commands. This term was first used when telephones were invented to describe the industry that grew up around the telephone. More recently, this term has been put to new use in reference to technologies that integrate personal computers and telephones. Telephony not only covers calls coming in or out, but also such features as caller ID, integrated messaging, and automatic speech recognition. User Anyone who is set up in CyberGenie@Work to receive voicemail or use a handset. External call A call that comes in or goes out via your local phone company. Internal call A call made from one handset to another. A feature in an automated telephony system that answers and directs incoming calls, usually with user interaction. CyberGenie session Caller Chapte r 1: Intr oductio n CG 2400 Use r Guide Automatic speech recognition (ASR) The User Someone calling in to the CG 2400 system from an external phone line. The interaction between a user and CyberGenie through a handset or remote phone. Any call activity is referred to as a call session. It can be a CyberGenie session, an external call or an internal call. Air channels A single call session uses one or two air channels, depending on the nature of the call. For example, an external call (incoming or outgoing) uses a single channel. A call from a handset to CyberGenie also uses a single air channel. Calls between two handsets, however, use two air channels, one for each handset. Subscribe Assign MAPI To register a handset to work with the CyberGenie base station. The base station will interact only with a handset that has been subscribed. To provide a specific user with access to a specific handset. Messaging Application Programming Interface, MAPI is a Microsoft standard for messaging software that allows different types of message information (email, voicemail, contact lists, etc.) to interact through a common interface. Unified messaging A way of accessing all your messages (voice, fax, or emails) from a single source. It includes such features as text-to-speech, which converts email text into a format that you can listen to when checking messages by phone. Full function mode When your PC is on with CyberGenie@Work running, the system is in full function mode. Standalone mode If the PC must be turned off, the system can still run in standalone mode, which lets you place and receive external calls, but without additional system features. System Overview The CG 2400 system turns your computer into a multi-featured phone system. Not only does it answer and route incoming calls, it also notifies you when you have voicemail, emails and faxes. A key system component is the DG 200 Handset. When a call comes in, CyberGenie will notify you and display the caller's ID 1 , if available, giving you the option of taking the call or letting the call go to voicemail. Chapte r 1: Intr oductio n CG 2400 Use r Guide Call session When an email comes in, CyberGenie's text-tospeech feature lets you listen to your email on the spot without having to return to your computer. And while your handset will not display a full fax message, it can let you know when a fax comes in and the number from which it originated. The CG 2400 system can support up to 10 handsets and 20 mailbox users. You can use the handsets not only to make external calls but also to place internal calls from one handset user to another. And you can use your handset to call your virtual personal assistant, CyberGenie, to check messages, place calls, or leave reminders for yourself. With CyberGenie, you can also make use of an advanced automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology that allows you to perform many of the telephony functions available through interactive “conversations” with CyberGenie. CyberGenie follows your verbal instructions for such tasks as placing a call, retrieving your messages, or recording new outgoing messages. 1.Requires CID service from the phone company.
