Introduction

Internet Call Waiting (ICW) provides you with the ability to answer or rout calls while your telephone line is in use with an Internet Service Provider (ISP). While browsing the Web, you can comfortably monitor and screen incoming calls without interrupting your Internet activity (such as downloading files, reading e-mail, or visiting chat rooms, etc.). You can make your own choice on which calls to accept, or you may forward them to another line.

1.1

How ICW Works

BellSouth Internet Call Waiting is a BellSouth telephony service. The Internet Call Waiting software (referred hereafter as ICW) works with the telephone company service to provide the user with a mechanism for answering or routing calls while the telephone line is in use with an Internet Service Provider (ISP). While connected to the Internet, an ICW user can comfortably monitor incoming calls and choose which calls to answer. You must subscribe to the Internet Call Waiting service from your phone company to take advantage of ICW.

When you dial your ISP, ICW notifies BellSouth that your phone line is currently in use for Internet activity. When a caller attempts to contact you over that same phone line, BellSouth's phone network notifies ICW that a caller is on the line. ICW records details on the call and displays a message to you, alerting you to the situation. This is all automatically done within seconds! At that point, you have several options, such as: • Ignore the call: This routes the caller to voice mail (if you have

configured ICW for voice mail), or simply waits for the caller to hang up.

• Forward the call: You can store several forwarding numbers, and choose from the list to have the call automatically forwarded to the number you choose.

(5)

1-2

Internet session. Within a few seconds, your phone will ring as normal, and you can begin a conversation with the caller.

• Answer the call: You can immediately answer the call by clicking the Answer button. ICW automatically terminates your Internet session. Within a couple of seconds, your phone will ring as usual.

Note: Do not pick up your telephone until after it rings.

1.1.1

What if I'm Away from the Computer for a While?

No problem! If you are still logged in to the Internet, ICW records all call attempts by entering them into your own personal call log. You can view and edit this log at any time to get a complete record of all calls made to your number while you are on the Internet.

1.1.2

Is ICW User-friendly?

BellSouth designed this software to make it perform most of its functions without any assistance from you. All you have to do is install it on your computer, perhaps conduct a few configuration tasks, and let ICW runthe rest is automatic.

1.1.3

What Kind of Computer Do I Need to Use ICW?

Operating System: Microsoft Win95, Win98, Win98SE, and WinME

CPU: Intel 486 66Mhz or better

Hardware: 14.4 Kbps modem or better

Web browser: Microsoft Explorer or Netscape Navigator

RAM memory: 16 Megabytes

Hard drive space 2 Megabytes

Internet access: Dial-up subscription

1.1.4

What Happens if My Telephone Number Changes?

1.1.4.1 If You Change Your Telephone Number

(6)

If Your Area Code is Changed (NPA Split)

If your area code is changed, the ICW software will automatically recognize and update your phone number settings. When this occurs, the software will also notify you with the following information window:

In the event that your new phone number is not recognized by the ICW service, the ICW software will notify you with the following error notification window:

If this window appears, click the OK command button, close the ICW application, and then go to the BellSouth ICW Website to download the latest version of the ICW software.

Installing the ICW Program and

Utilities

Once you have subscribed to the BellSouth ICW service, you may download the ICW software from BellSouth.com.

2.1

The BellSouth Website

Go to the BellSouth ICW Website (www.bellsouth.com/icw) for online directions on downloading ICW.

2.2

ICW Software Installation Steps

If you are already familiar with standard software install procedures, please feel free to skip to Chapter 3, Manual Installation.

2.2.1

Step 1: Download the Program

The ICW files are downloaded from BellSouth.com to your hard drive. Download the ICW software by clicking on the Download Now button. Make a note of the name and destination of your "executable" file. (The file name is usually your area code and phone number, followed by ".exe.")

2.2.2

Step 2: Install the Software

(8)

2.2.3

Step 3: Restart Your Computer

After setup is complete, restart your computer to begin using your ICW service and software.

Note: If the automatic setup fails, follow the detailed instructions in

Chapter 3, Manual Configuration, of this User Guide.

2.2.4

Step 4: Follow the ICW Installation Instructions

The first ICW window that appears is shown below.

(9)

2-3

The Welcome window asks you to cancel this setup if you have any other Windows programs running, and to close those programs before again initiating the ICW program installation. If you must take this step, do so, and then afterwards, from Windows Explorer, simply once again locate and double-click the Setup.exe program. The same window then again appears.

(10)

The Software License Agreement window contains the licensing

agreement. (See the Appendix for a complete rendering of the text in the above example.) If you choose to decline the terms of the agreement, and click No, the Exit Setup window displays, as shown on the following page. If you choose to accept the terms, click Yes. The Information window appears (also shown on the following page).

(11)

2-5

If you choose to decline the terms, click Exit Setup. All ICW windows then close, and if you wish to re-initiate the installation, you must start over at the point where you first clicked on Setup.exe.

If you accept the terms of the agreement, click Resume, and then click

Yes to continue. The Information window appears, as shown below.

(12)

If you have a previous version of ICW installed, the following warning window appears, asking if you want to overwrite the previous version:

If you click No, the installation will abort. If you click Yes, the installation proceeds with a welcome window (described in the next set of steps).

2.2.5

Step 5: Follow the ICW Install Wizard Instructions

After the ICW auto-configuration wizard is activated, the a welcome window appears, which describes the configuration process:

(13)

2-7

If the default-listed number is wrong, click Exit Setup. A dialog window then appears.

If the listed number is incorrect, you must exit Setup and correct the problem, so click Yes. Resolve the problem and start over.

However, if the telephone number is correct, click Next>. The Identify

(14)

The Identify …window ask you to identify the services that you have on your telephone line. Check the appropriate boxes, and then click Next>. The Edit … window appears, as shown below.

(15)

2-9

(16)

The Verify …window will verify the configuration settings you have entered. Click the VERIFY command button to proceed. The Call

Progress window appears, as shown below.

ICW will confirm that it has been properly configured.

If the configuration is not properly set, the attempt will fail, and you will get a warning dialog that specifically identifies the improperly set configuration. You will have to return (using the <Back command buttons) to the window in which the configuration was improperly set, and establish the correct configuration parameters (according to the warning).

If the configuration has been correctly set, the Choose Destination

Folder window appears (as shown on the following page):

For the Destination Folder, we recommend the default path (simply click

(17)

2-11

On the Setup Type window, select Typical (currently, the only functional option), then click Next>.

(18)

Click Next>. The installation continues with the following window:

This window requires no user action, and will shortly disappear. Next, the Setup Complete window appears (as shown on the following page):

(19)

2-13

re-start your computer). If you do not want your computer to re-start, but want ICW to run the next time you start your computer, select No. Click

Finish to complete the installation.

This window closes, and the installation is complete.

Note: The *95 dialing prefix is automatically inserted into your

Dial-up Networking configuration.

If you clicked the Yes box on the previous window, your computer re-starts, and you are now presented with the Tip Of The Day window:

A selection of various tips is available by clicking on the Next Tip button (or you may choose to close this window). ICW is now fully functional.

2.2.6

Step 6: Delete the ICW Files that You Downloaded

Now that you have successfully downloaded and installed ICW, you may choose to delete the ICW files in C:TEMP (or whatever default directory you used).

These files are now unnecessary to the ICW programming.

Note: It is not necessary to delete these files, but doing so will increase

(20)

3.

Manual Configuration

The following configurations should have been made on the appropriate screens that appeared during the download/install of ICW. However, with AOL and CompuServe, and possibly some other ISPs, it may be necessary to manually do this configuration. Unless the automatic configuration fails, this entire chapter may be skipped, but you may find it useful should you later want to change your configuration.

3.1

Configuring Your PC for ICW

This section provides instructions for configuring your PC for ICW, running ICW, and configuring ICW for your specific telecommunication needs. (For AOL and CompuServe users, refer to Section 3.1.2).

3.1.1

Formatting the *95, Provisioning Prefix for Dial-Up Networking

Note: This section does not apply to AOL and CompuServe customers.

Make sure that you have placed the necessary *95, provisioning prefix in your dial-up to your ISP. You do this on your Windows Dial-Up

Networking window. Access this window by first clicking, on your desktop, the computer (My Computer) icon. Next, click Dial-Up

(21)

3-2

Next, right-click the Internal ISP icon, which brings up this screen:

(22)

The configuration shown above is only for example purposes.

In this example, the configuration is set for a computer that does not have Call Waiting. In the Telephone number: field, simply insert *95, and your telephone number (or *70,*95, if you also have Call Waiting). Do NOT use the Area code: field (shown grayed out in the example) and Do NOT click the Use area code and Dialing Properties box. Make sure that your location shows the telephone number for your ICW service, and then click Close.

(23)

3-4

3.1.2

Formatting the *95, Provisioning Prefix for AOL and Compuserve

Bring up your sign-on screen, as shown below. (Shown here are the AOL signon window and subsequent windows, as they are essentially the same as the CompuServe windows.)

(24)

2. Click on the Edit Numbers button. The Edit Location window appears.

(25)

3-6

4. Edit the number shown in the Edit number here: field by typing in the *95, or *70, 95, prefix in front of the number (be careful not to alter the dial-up number itself). In the example shown on the previous page, the number in the Edit number here: field would be (after editing it) *95,404-681-0718. Do not make any changes to the information shown in the Name: field.

5. Click the OK button; this ends the configuration instructions for AOL and CompuServe.

3.1.3

Activating or Deactivating Call Waiting

If you have call waiting, it must be temporarily deactivated prior to your Internet session by placing *70, ahead of the *95, prefix. For example, if your dial-up access to your ISP is (404) 555-1234, the number should be modified to be *95,4045551234. If you have call waiting, the number for the dial-up would be *70,*95,4045551234. The characters *70,

MUST precede the *95, prefix if you have call waiting. Be sure to

insert a comma following *70 and *95.

Nothing else is required to configure your computer to use the ICW service. If you not already created a forwarding list, however, you must do this before you will be able to forward any calls.

When the ICW program is activated, an ICW startup screen appears, similar to the one shown on page 2-3.

3.2

Configuring ICW for Your PC

Several simple configuration tasks are necessary to set up ICW for your personal telecommunication needs. These steps are covered in the following sections.

During the initial install/download, the configuration steps should have properly configured ICW. However, to subsequently change any of these functions, the following sections and procedures must be followed.

3.2.1

Voice Mail and Anonymous Call Rejection

1. Click the Options menu selection on the menu bar.

(26)

3. Check the I have voice mail on this number check box (external voice mail, not home answering machines).

ICW Call Response Options

This chapter discusses the various options available to the user upon receiving a telephone call while logged onto the Internet.

6.1

When You are Not Logged into the Internet

The ICW software is inactive, and your telephone will ring as usual.

6.2

When You are Logged into the Internet

The ICW software becomes active, and the following events occur: 1. When ICW detects an incoming telephone call, it responds by

displaying the New Call window, shown below: (In this display, voice mail is not shown, because it was not selected in the Properties window, found under the Options drop-down menu.)

(37)

6-2

a) You may disregard the New Call window and the incoming call. The caller will hear your telephone ringing, assume that you are not going to answer, and eventually hang up

b) You may ignore the call, by clicking Ignore. The New Call window closes, and the response will be same as in a). c) You may answer the call, by clicking Answer.

d) You may forward the call to a predetermined telephone number, by clicking Forward. In the window shown on the previous page, this button is grayed out, indicating that there are no numbers listed in the Forward configuration.

e) You may put the call on Hold, by clicking Hold.

Note: The hold button may sometimes gray out (become inactive). This

occurs under some circumstances, when another BellSouth service (such Privacy Director) has interacted with the ICW network.

If you have already selected the voice mail option, then the Ignore button instead indicates Voice Mail. In this case:

f) You may send the call to Voice Mail (VM) by clicking Voice

Mail.

Each of these options is discussed in the following sections.

6.2.1

To Disregard a Call

If you have voice mail with Call Forward Busy Line (CFBL) service, and you disregard an incoming call (take no action) while you are logged into the Internet, the call is routed to your designated VM number.

If you do not have CFBL service, and you disregard an incoming call (take no action) while you are logged into the Internet, the caller simply hears the telephone ring, and ICW displays the following window:

After this window appears, click OK. The window closes, and ICW takes no further actions.

(38)

1. Right-click the far-right system tray icon. 2. Select Call Log from the window that appears.

6.2.2

To Ignore a Call

To Ignore a call, click Ignore on the New Call window, displayed below.

When the Ignore button is clicked, your telephone ringing will cease. The caller simply continues to hear the telephone ring. This window closes, and ICW displays the same window that was on-screen when the call was ignored. No further action is taken by ICW.

6.2.3

To Answer a Call

To answer an incoming call while you are logged into the Internet, wait until you hear ringing on your computer, and then click Answer on the

New Call window. The ICW window changes, as shown below (unless,

on the System Tray Menu, you have deselected Call Popup. In that event, this window appears iconized):

(39)

6-4

1. Your Internet session terminates.

2. Your incoming call may now be answered by picking up your telephone.

Note: Be sure to wait for your telephone to ring before picking up the

receiver.

3. Complete your call as usual, and then log back into the Internet when you choose. ICW is prepared for your next incoming call.

After you click Answer, or if you pick up the telephone before it rings, the following window appears:

Close this window, and then answer the telephone after it rings.

6.2.4

To Forward a Call

Note: You must first complete the call forward configuration steps

before using the Forward function.

To forward an incoming call while you are logged into the Internet, click the Forward button on the New Call window. The following window appears (the text shown is just an example):

(40)

6.2.5

To Put a Call on Hold

To put an incoming call on hold while you are logged into the Internet, click the Hold button on the New Call window. The ICW window changes, as shown below, and the following occurs:

1. The Hold button changes to ON HOLD, and your caller hears a recorded message indicating that you are on the line or are busy. This button intermittently goes blank, and then its text reappears. The Forward and Ignore (or Voice Mail) buttons gray out and become inactive. As a result, the only response now available on this window is Answer. (If you again click the ON HOLD button, the window closes, and ICW reacts as if you clicked Answer.)

2. If you click the Answer button, the window closes, and ICW displays the Warning window. After your Yes response, ICW disconnects you from the Internet, and after a pause, your telephone rings. You may then answer as usual—but first wait for the phone to ring! 3. If you close the window (by clicking the X in the corner), the call

(41)
