2. REQUIREMENTS.

2.3 Network & Firewall Requirements.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

You need an active Internet connection to login to BT Cloud Voice Communicator and then use it to make and receive calls.

We strongly recommend that you use a known, stable, secure and correctly configured Wireless LAN and use BT Cloud Voice Communicator over this Wi-Fi connection. If you are unsure, please speak to your system administrator for advice and help.

BT Cloud Voice Communicator lets you to decide whether you want to make a native Android call or a VoIP Call. There is also an Always Ask option available to give you the choice every time you use your phone.

The iPhone dialling service is recommended for use over a 3G connection. With the ‘VoIP Call’ setting, if there is no Wi-Fi connection, the app will try to use the cellular data channel instead. Service and voice quality may not be as good and data charges with your mobile carrier will apply.

You may need to allow outbound access for the following on your firewall:

3. LOGIN & PASSWORD MANAGEMENT.

3.1 Logging In.

3. Download & Installation.

3.2 Managing your Username & Password.

Once BT Cloud Voice Communicator has been installed, you can open it as you would any other app. Just tap the BT Cloud Voice Communicator icon (as shown) to launch it.

You’ll need to login to BT Cloud Voice Communicator with your official Application Username and Password, which you should have received in your Welcome or Service Modification email.

Your Username should take the format:

<username>@<domain> (for example user.one@customer.co.uk)

You can change your password through the Business Portal – please follow standards for Password Protection Policies to make sure it’s as safe as possible.

Just enter your username and password (more below) into the appropriate boxes and tap Sign in, and you’re on your way.

The first thing you will see is the login screen:

You can download and install BT Cloud Voice Communicator iPhone Edition directly from the iPhone App Store. It’s very easy – just search for BT Cloud Voice Communicator and install the application.

8

4. GETTING STARTED.

4.1 First screen.

4.2 Final screen.

The first thing you will see when you login to BT Cloud Voice Communicator is its first tab. When this appears, you’re ready to begin.

When you want to close down the app, scroll to the bottom of the screen from the Settings tab and tap Sign out.

Alternatively, double-tap the home button on the iPhone and swipe the minimised BT Cloud Voice Communicator screen towards the top of the phone to close the application.

5. MAIN TABS.

When you start BT Cloud Voice Communicator for the first time, your contacts list will be empty. You can use the search field to find people and add them to your contacts list or they can be added manually by tapping the Add button.

The main view contains five tabs at the top that give you information about your contacts and communication options. These are:

• Chat

• Dial Pad

• History

• Contacts

• Settings

10

6. CONTACTS TAB.

6.1 Adding a Contact.

Buddy-enabled Contacts are those with an XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Buddy Protocol) address. This just means that you will be able to see whether they are available to chat, in the office but away from their desks, or too busy to talk. Checking this will save you time and effort trying to Contact someone who is not there. This is explained in more detail below.

Non buddy-enabled Contacts are all your other phone or conference numbers.

Your Local list is made up of your own personal Contacts that you have built up yourself.

Directory Contacts are people who are part of a shared company Contact list – this is called the enterprise directory.

Any Contact can be marked as a favourite, which will put them at the top of the Contacts list in the Favourites section.

When you first log in to BT Cloud Voice Communicator, your Contacts list will be empty.

To add someone new, just tap Add Contact from the menu icon in the navigation bar or use the Directory Search option from the Contacts tab instead. Enter any details on the screen and then tap “Done”.

The newly added information appears on your Contacts list. By default, your buddy information will be shared with the new Contact if an XMPP address is provided.

You can add a conference number to a Contact by selecting the option Add Conference from the same menu icon in the navigation bar. This is a special number used so you don’t have to remember the PIN code and conference number for your calls. This is particularly useful if you take part in regular conferences with the same people.

Tap the Contacts list to see all the details for your different Contacts:

• Buddy-enabled Contacts

• Non Buddy-enabled Contacts

• Local Contacts

• Directory Contacts.

You can add Contacts, add a conference and start a group chat in the Contact view.

11

6. CONTACTS TAB.

6.2 Editing Contact Details. If you want to change any details, tap the information icon of an entry in the Contacts list to open their Contact card. This is the same for both buddy-enabled and non-buddy-enabled Contacts.

• Tap Edit to add, change, or remove information.

• If you want to delete a Contact from your list, press Remove.

• If you want to stop sharing your buddy information with the Contact, pressUnsubscribe. You will no longer see the Contact’s buddy information and theywon’t see yours. An unsubscribed Contact remains in your Contacts list and isalways shown as “offline”. Select Subscribe if you want to set it back up again.

12

7. BUDDY STATUS.

As mentioned earlier, you can check the status of any ‘buddy-enabled’ Contacts to see if they are available. These Contacts will be able to see the same about you on their Contacts list. Status is shown with colour codes, as follows:

If you want to know someone’s buddy status, you can send them a Contact request.

If someone wants to be able to see your buddy status, you will receive a Contact request invitation. You can ignore or accept it. If you prefer to ignore it at first, you can always share your details at a later date by selecting Subscribe from the Contact’s Contact card. The Contact will have to accept this later request before you can see their status.

To set your own status, tap the Buddy icon from the status bar. This will open the My Status screen, where you can update your avatar and add a personal message as well.

Your avatar is the picture that represents you in your friends’ Contacts lists and in chat screens. To choose your picture, tap on the avatar and use the box that comes up to select an existing image, take a new one with your phone camera, or clear the image and go back to the default silhouette.

You can add a status message in the area next to the avatar, and this will also be shown in your friends’ Contacts lists.

If you see the error message, “Chat Unavailable”, under any tab, it means that the XMPP connectivity has been lost for chat and buddy status. You can still make calls, but you should Contact us as soon as you can to get it back up and running.

Green indicates that they are online and ready for communication.

Yellow means that they are online but have not used their computer for more than ten minutes.

Red tells you that they are busy and do not want to be disturbed.

Grey says that they are offline, so you’ll need to call or chat with them instead.

A question mark comes up when a subscription is pending but not yet approved, ie you have asked to share their buddy information and are waiting for the go-ahead.

The phone icon shows you that they are on a call, and comes up automatically.

This means that they are in a meeting, and comes up automatically if the appointment has been either made or accepted by them. It won’t come up for all day meetings though. If they make a call within that meeting, the phone icon comes up instead.

13

8. INSTANT MESSAGING.

When you click on this tab, you’ll see a list of your recent instant messages. If you chat with someone more than once, all your discussions will appear as one item in the list. Chats are always listed with the newest one at the top; they are not in alphabetical order.

If you want to start an exchange, tap the name to open the chat view (IM view) where new messages can be typed (more on this below). Old messages are also shown.

Any new incoming messages have a notification badge next to the name – this stays there until you’ve read the message. If you’d rather not have this, click the menu button in the navigation bar to see the Mark all as Read option. This will remove all the notification badges from your list.

If you want to send someone an instant message, there are three ways to open a Chat screen:

• Tap a Contact from the Contacts list.

• Select a Contact card and choose Open Chat.

• Tap an entry in the Chat History list.

You both need to be online for the chat to work.

If someone wants to talk to you, you’ll see a notification badge on the Chat tab and their entry will appear at the top of the Chat History list.

During the conversation, you’ll see your Contact’s name on the top bar with a buddy icon flag before it. Their messages will be shown with an orange background while yours will have a white background.

If you want to add a bit of colour to your messages, a smiley can be added by typing the corresponding character codes and by selecting from the smiley icons.

8.1 Chat Tab.

8.2 Chat.

14

If you need to talk to more than one person at the same time, start a group chat by using one of these ways to open a Chat screen:

• If you’re already talking to someone, tap the Add Participant icon to includeanother person.

• From the Chat tab, tap the menu icon to select the “start group chat” option.

• If you’ve talked as a group before, you can tap the previous entry from your ChatHistory to start it up again.

Extra participants can be added at any time by anyone in the group. However, you can’t remove other people from a chat (we think it comes across as a bit antisocial).

A group chat works the same way as a one-on-one chat. All messages from anyone are sent to everyone else, and all Contacts need to be online to join in.

When you want to exit a group conversation, choose the Leave Chat option. The chat will be marked as “offline” and you will no longer receive messages from it. Tap on the “offline” chat to re-join the room and get involved again. You won’t see any messages that were sent while you were away.

The group chat history is saved and is available to view later from the Chat tab. The Clear History menu item works in the same way as with a one-on-one chat and removes the local history.

The View Participants button shows you a list of participants in the group chat.

8.3 Group Chat (Ad-Hoc Rooms).

8. INSTANT MESSAGING.

NOTE: that deleting a chat room is not supported either.

9. AUDIO & VIDEO CALLS.

This tab has a standard dial pad which you can use to make audio or video calls. As you dial, the numbers will come up in the text field at the top – if you make a mistake the delete button removes one character at a time.

There are three buttons below the dial pad: Call, Video call, and Dial pad menu that will be set up by us.

A badge notification appears on this tab when you have voicemail messages. A long press on the “1” digit connects you to your voicemail box so you can listen to them. If you don’t have any messages, there won’t be a badge.

You’ll need to be logged in and registered to BT Cloud Voice Communicator to receive incoming calls.

To make a call, enter the phone number using the dial pad and tap the green Call or the Video button.

The colour-coded symbols next to the numbers tell you the type of call they were:

Green Down Arrow: An answered incoming call

Blue Up Arrow: An answered outgoing call

Red Tick Arrow: A missed call

19

11. DIRECTORY TAB.

You can use the Directory tab to search through two Contacts lists at the same time – the enterprise directory (a central shared database of Contacts) and your personal,or ‘local’, Contacts list.

You can do this using the search field. Tap the search field to open a key pad and enter names or other search criteria.

In the default view, results from both searches are shown, as pictured in the below examples. The lists display the name and icon for each Contact.

When you have finished your search, you can press the back key to minimise the keyboard, hide the search bar, and empty the search result.

12. SETTINGS TAB.

The Settings Menu can be reached through the hard key menu, alongside ‘About’ (which contains information about your device) and ‘Sign Out’, which you’ll use to exit and close down the app when you’ve finished.

You can toggle through the items on the Settings menu and change them to suit your own preferences. These are:

• Remember password

• Automatic sign-in

• Call settings

• Credentials

• Help

12.1 Call Settings.

12.2 Automatic Sign In.

The Call Settings tab lets you manage the following communications features:

You can choose to sign in automatically to BT Cloud Voice Communicator when you start up your device. This means you don’t have to remember to set it up to show that you’re available for communication.

Option Description

Do not disturb If you need some time with no interruptions, you can set this so all communication is blocked.

Call ForwardingBy activating one of the Call Forward options (Always, Busy, or When Unreachable) you can send your calls on to a specified number.

Remote Office

This lets you use a phone in a hotel or at home as your business phone – perfect for when you’re working out of the office. Caller ID and charging appear as they do when you’re in the office.

Hide numberYou can hide or display your number when calling people. To hide your number, set to “Enable”. To show your number, set to “Disable”.

Call Director

Call Director lets you use any fixed or mobile device as your desk phone. Callers dial your normal number and will reach you on any phone you choose. Several devices can ring at the same time so you don’t miss any calls, and you can move active calls from one device to another without hanging up.

Outgoing calls

Choose between VoIP and mobile (mobile may be recommended when not using Wi-Fi to avoid data charges from your mobile carrier). This can be set to Always Ask so you get the choice every time.

Sim Ring PersonalThis feature lets you set up to ten phone numbers that would ring (in addition to the primary phone number) when you receive a call.

21

7. AUDIO AND VIDEO CALLS.

My Room is a permanent room that is always available for you to chat with anyone that joins. You can reach it from the Chat tab using the menu icon on the navigation bar.

People can join your room from your Contact card, or you can include extra people using the Add Participants icon.

All My Room sessions start as chats but a call can be added in during the session. Additional participants can tap on the Call button to automatically join the conference.

13. MY ROOM.

22

14. MULTI DEVICE.

If you work from lots of different devices, don’t worry – BT Cloud Voice Communicator has been set up to work in the same way that you do. This includes several features:

• Chat invitations are sent to all devices. Once you have answered the invitation, thechat messages go to the device that you used to reply.

• Retrieving one’s own buddy notifications when another client updates the user’sbuddy status. The client updates its own status based on the information itreceives from the server.

• Accepting a shared buddy invitation in one client is also recognized by anotherclient and both clients start receiving buddy status updates.

• A new buddy subscription made in one client is recognized in another. If theContact blocks the invitation, there are buddy status notifications sent from theserver to all of the user’s clients indicating that the subscription was terminated.This information is shown to the user. If the client receives two buddy statusauthorization requests from two or more devices for the same user, it only showsone request to the user.

• If you remove a Contact from one device, it will update your Contacts lists acrossyour other devices as well.

23

15. TROUBLESHOOTING.

If your Username and/or Password are wrong when you try to log in, or if you don’t have the right requirements (as discussed at the beginning), then you will see an error message.

If you are sure that the set up, login and licensing is correct then please check network connectivity, and have another look at the requirements section of this document including Network and Firewall Requirements.

If problems still persist, you can log the issue via the “Troubleshooting” menu within “Settings”. This will let BT Cloud Voice Communicator collect information which can be emailed to your support engineers for further diagnostics.
