are performed primarily from the PC:
•Monitoring and controlling calls from the Call

various call functions, including:
•Placing a call
•Transferring a call

Chapter 5: System Administration

System Call
Activities

pair of boxes shows a single call session. A call
session displays the source of a call and the call

an active handset, and lets you transfer an active call
to any user mailbox displayed.

Call Progress Control
There are three basic types of call you can control
from the Call Progress window:
Two-party calls: Two-party calls involve only two parties: a call
received from an external line, a call placed from a
handset to an external line, or an internal call from
one handset to another. For two-party calls, you can:
Dial Dial a call by putting the first call on hold and
dialing a second number while the first call waits.
When you use this feature, it turns your two-party
call into a three-party call.
Transfer Transfer an existing call to another
handset, to voicemail, or to an external line.
Reject Reject a call by sending the call to the
rejection message, after which the caller is
disconnected.
Cancel Cancel any current call operation.
Three-party calls: Three-party calls involve three parties: conference
calls, or calls that have one party on hold while the
handset user places or receives another call. For
three-party calls in progress, you can:
Transfer Transfer the conference call to the non-
originating party, which will remove the call
originator without disconnecting the call.
Chapter 5: System Administration
95
Conference Conference a call by dialing a third
party while you have an existing call on hold, then
conferencing all three parties into the call session.
Reconnect Reconnect the call to the original call
configuration, disconnecting the third party from the
call.
Cancel Cancel any current call operation.
Incoming calls: This could be an incoming call from an external line,
or an incoming call from one handset to another. For
incoming calls, you can:
Redirect Redirect the incoming call to another
handset or voicemail.
Listen Listen to an incoming message when a call
goes to voicemail. The listen feature is only available
for external calls.
Viewing Calls in Progress
Call functions available vary depending on whether
the call is a two- or three-party call or an incoming
call. All functions assume that you have a call in
progress displayed on the Call Progress window:

Contacts
CyberGenie@Work lets you maintain a list of
contacts. You can use this information to place calls
from the Call Progress application window or from
your handset through CyberGenie.
If you use Microsoft Outlook or another MAPI-
compliant email software package,

existing phonebook, and you can add names and
addresses from the Contacts application window. If
you don’t use another application, you can create a
contact list directly in CyberGenie@Work.
Whether your contacts list is created in Outlook or
CyberGenie@Work, several fields are added to the
database that provide special features only available
with CyberGenie:
Speech recognition Lets you flag an entry in your contacts list so that a
user can ask CyberGenie to dial a number, and
CyberGenie will recognize the name and dial it based
on your spoken command.
Pronunciation You can enter the name phonetically to ensure that
CyberGenie understands the name and pronounces it
correctly.
Download to handset Lets you flag a contact record for downloading to
your handset directory. The handset can store up to
100 names and phone numbers. (For more
information, see “Downloading the Phonebook to
Your Handset” on page145.)

George) that CyberGenie will recognize for speech
access.
