Page 5: Installation Process
Installation Process This manual assumes that you are familiar with system programming on the SV8100 and MyCalls. The MyCalls server should be installed in the usual manner as described in the MyCalls Installation manual. The console requires the PBX to be configured as described in this manual, if any of the programming is overlooked then the console will not function correctly. -
Page 6: Standard Features
Standard Features Standard Operator Console features are summarised in the table below. Feature Description See a list of calls waiting to be answered. Details such as Calls Waiting CLI, DDI and wait time are displayed. See the active calls and its history. Notes can be added Active Call to calls and are displayed against the call. -
Page 7: Advanced Features

Feature Description Calls can be automatically delivered from the calls Automatic Call Delivery waiting area to logged in operators. Priority Routing Calls can be prioritised based on CLI or DDI. Back To Same Operator Calls can be routed back to the same operator that Routing... -
Page 8: How It Works
How it Works The MyCalls Console uses 3 Party TAPI to monitor extensions on the PBX, by doing this it knows which are free and which are busy. A set of virtual extensions are setup on the PBX that MyCalls is aware of, these are split into 3 configuration items and carry out different functions. -
Page 9: Pbx Configuration
PBX Configuration There are several items that need to be configured on the PBX for the operator console to run correctly. These have been grouped together in PC Pro > Easy Edit > Applications > MyCalls Console. Virtual Extensions DDI Calls arrive at a station group that contains 3 virtual extensions, these are the pre-routing extensions. - Page 10 The next set of virtual extensions that next to be created are the routing extensions, these need to be assigned to an unused department group. This is just a good practice exercise to prevent calls from being accidently delivered to the routing extensions, calls should never be directly routed to the routing extensions.
-
Page 11: Pre Routing Department Group
Pre Routing Department Group The pre routing department group can be configured in PC Pro > Easy Edit > Applications > MyCalls Console > Pre Routing Department Group. Only the pre routing extensions should be put into this group. The group should be given a valid pilot number and a meaningful name. The other options should be configured as follows. -
Page 12: Class Of Service
Class of Service Calls are delivered to the operator console during a specified night mode(s) on the PBX. During which time some class of service setting have to be applied to any operator’s extension(s) and the configured virtual extensions. The MyCalls software is responsible for routing calls to the operator’s extension and also responsible for transfer / recall of un-answered transferred calls. - Page 13 Once the extensions have been put into a class of service then the class of service settings have to be applied. In class of service settings disable all of the call pickup options, enable Disconnect Supervision and No Callback. The operator extensions (not the virtual extensions) have to be assigned to a timer class for the night mode on the system when calls will be delivered to the operator console.
-
Page 14: Miscellaneous
Miscellaneous Under the Miscellaneous section of PC Pro make sure the MyCalls Operator Extensions are NOT listed in the Operator extensions. This references the PBX’s operator functionality and not the MyCalls Operator functionality. Disconnect Supervision can be enabled system wide here. Line Keys and Call Appearance Keys The MyCalls console has been designed to work on a system that doesn’t have Line Keys or Call Appearance keys programmed on the system. -
Page 15: Resilience
Resilience The MyCalls console relies on the MyCalls server being able to talk to the PBX via the 3 Party TAPI driver and in turn routes calls to the operator. If for example, the MyCalls server failed and wasn’t working then calls would not be routed to the operator. It is therefore important to configure a night mode that the operator can switch the PBX to in case there is a problem. -
Page 16: Rd Party Tapi Driver
Party TAPI Driver MyCalls uses the 3 Party TAPI driver to move calls around in the operator console and to facilitate call control. The TAPI driver should be installed on the MyCalls server. There is a separate installation manual available for the 3 Party TAPI that details how to install it. -
Page 17: Mycalls Configuration
MyCalls Configuration Once the PBX programming is complete, then all of the MyCalls licenses should be installed on the PBX. Carry out the installation of the MyCalls server as normal, license MyCalls and do the config import. Details on how to install the MyCalls server are available in the MyCalls installation manual. The licensed operator console features can be shown in the MyCalls application in the Help >... -
Page 18: Collector Configuration

This is always the MyCalls server unless you decided to install them on different PC’s. Note: If you upgraded from MyCalls version 4 or prior then you have to manually enter the word “Virtual Ext”...
- Page 22 Note: If you have upgraded from MyCalls version 4 or prior it may be necessary to manually modify a setting in a configuration file. The file Collector.exe.config is situated in the folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\NEC Infrontia\MyCalls Take care when editing the file as if it contains any invalid information, it will cause problems with MyCalls.
