Equivalent functionality is achieved via presence state tagging. The calling party is alerted when the called partys presencestate changes from On a Call to any other state, and may then call or contact the called party via IM other means. Instant Messaging may be used to send non-obtrusive, immediate messages to all users logged into Office Communicator, both at and away from their desk phones.

Yes N/A Notes Attendants do not use a console dial pad to activate calls, but instead use a GUI interface on the PC. User terminal status may be determined via Presence. Trunk status is reported via System Center Operations Manager or other monitoring tool. CAMP-ON is not required for Attendants as calls may be presented for disposition even to called parties currently on a call (there is no concept of lines to limit how many active and on hold calls a given user may have). If the Attendant requires greater control of the call, presence state tagging may be used to alert the Attendant when the presence state of the called party changes (from In a Call to any other value). Trunk group access may be restricted based on administrator controlled dialing rules, but not via the Attendant. Call forwarding settings or Response Group timeout may be used to direct delayed callers to the SIP URI of a Response Group queue with a delay announcement.

System Features Feature ACCOUNT CODES Supported No Notes Can be done via third Party Application Administered connections are typically used for connectivity of data endpoints over ISDN DS1 or other circuits. Office Communications Server does not control data networking. Network answer supervision is generally used to ensure the accuracy of call duration information. The use of DSPbased answer detection to accurately reflect duration for calls that do not receive network answer supervision is gateway dependent. Office Communications Server relies on identity based authorization, and allows users to login to any IP terminal based on their identity. This eliminates the need for DTMF based authorization codes for most customers. If required, third party solutions available from Enabling Technologies and others enable DTMF-based authorization codes. Via Exchange Auto-Attendant Via Response Groups

Office Communications Server does not require virtual extensions for secondary extensions on voice terminals since there is no limit to the number of active and on hold calls for a given user or terminal. However, Response Groups effectively present virtual extensions in the form of SIP URIs and (optional) DID numbers.
