12 Starting My Instant Communicator the First Time

Before starting the application for the first time make sure that all necessary options are configured. Access the application settings:

• BlackBerry® OS 5 : Options > OmniTouch 8600 My Instant

Communicator

• BlackBerry® OS 6 or 7 : Options > Third Party Applications

> OmniTouch 8600 My Instant Communicator

My Instant Communicator uses two sets of options. All relevant options for telephony features are read from the OpenTouch system and the user cannot change these options. Other options can be amended to change the client behavior to suit your needs:  For the client to work correctly it is important that OpenTouch client configuration URL and the URL of the BlackBerry® MDS server are set. Both options are available from your

administrator.

After installing the MyIC application, a background task will be started as soon as the device has rebooted. This background task is used to accept incoming notifications from the OpenTouch system and needs the Trusted Application status to do so. You must answer the question with Yes.

When the application is started for the first time, you may see certain security questions. Which of these questions you will have to answer and whether you are allowed to use all of the features or not, depend on the IT Policies that have been applied to your BlackBerry® by the administrator.

Under normal circumstances all requested features should be available to you.

The application will try to open different network connections to servers in your infrastructure. You need to allow these

connections. You may see a dialog similar to that shown here. We recommend that you check the Do not ask for… checkbox, so

In addition to allowing the necessary connections you will be prompted to allow Input Simulation for My Instant Communicator (MyIC). This will be used to automatically answer the incoming reverse phone call from the OpenTouch system if you place an outgoing call using MyIC. Choose “Save” after pressing the BlackBerry® menu button to allow this for MyIC.

MyIC application will try to access your phone information to be able to recognize incoming and outgoing calls and act

accordingly. You need to allow this for MyIC to work properly

13 Configuring your application

13.1 Access to the application settings

• put the cursor on status bar • select the BlackBerry® menu key • open My Instant Communicator settings

13.2 General options

• “Home Phone”, “Other Phone”: pre-defined numbers. These numbers are used when you define which device will ring on an incoming call or when routing calls. If using the My IC PC application in addition to My IC Mobile, those numbers will be suggested.

• Confirm when deleting messages

If this option is enabled, a confirmation pop-up is opened to ask you to confirm the suppression of a log item. Otherwise, the entry is deleted without

confirmation.

• learning of the caller ID (see Contact Self-learning)

This section allows you to activate the self-learning contact and to define a number which must not be saved in the contacts directory. If the “Tag contact cards newly created” option is enabled, the new contact will be created with the “MyIC contact” tag.

• Auto-play on Next/Previous

If this option is enabled, all unread messages of your business voicemail are played automatically when Next/Previous is selected.

• Use DTMF for making calls in 2,5G

When you are using a 2.5G network, the data channel can be lost depending on the network status or your mobile provider. To avoid using the data channel, you can force the use of DTMF code to make call when using a 2.5G network. For more information, contact your installer.

• Allow private calls

If this option is enabled, when you make a call by dialing the number from the native dialer of your mobile

phone, a popup lets you choose to make a business or a private call. Otherwise, you make automatically a business call.

13.3 Favorites

13.4 Directory Lookup

You can define which directories are used when you search a contact. “UC server address book(s)” is the address book(s) of your company and displays only names with known phone number. If all contacts of BlackBerry® server address book(s) are included in UC Server address book(s), it is recommended to deactivate the “BlackBerry server address book(s)” option. For more information, contact your installer.

13.5 Instant Messaging Options

If enabled, you send your message by pressing the “Enter” key of your mobile. Alternatively, the “Enter” key inserts a new line in the message, and you have to use the menu to send your message.

• Notification via a pop-up window

If enabled, the IM window is opened when you receive a new Instant Message.

• Force status at startup

If enabled, your presence status is showed as defined in this option.

• Pre-defined message when replying

When you reply with an Instant Message, you can send the pre-defined message which is entered in this option.

14 Contact Self-learning

Contact Self-learning is an option that you can activate to automatically populate the local phone book with business contacts each time a call from a person who is not listed in your local directory arrives. The next time the person calls you, you will have the caller name and details displayed natively on your BlackBerry® screen. The Self-learning feature works as follows:

 Each time you receive a business call, the device checks the Local address books for the existence of the caller’s full name. If the name is not present, the contact is created with both the Long CLI and Short CLI.  The contact file is tagged with ‘MyIC contact’ in the category field so that you can categorize the contacts in

your PIM software (if the option is enabled)

 The Auto-learning mechanism only works in 3G mode.

15 Native Integration

Native dialer

In Business mode, when you make a call with BlackBerry® Native Dialer, the call is automatically managed by MIC application. If you enable the private call option in the My Instant Communicator configuration, a popup lets you choose to make a business or a private call

Local address book

If enabled in MIC settings, local address book is used to find a contact with MIC application.

Customize your my Instant Communicator notification

(various ringing) through Native PROFILES

Global INBOX:

You can get your missed calls, voice mails, IM messages directly into Native BlackBerry® Inbox. This mode is only available with OS 5.0 at min.

16 Least Cost Routing (LCR)

The main principle of “Least Cost Routing” is to reduce mobile communication charging depending on the IT manager policy and user roaming state. The mobile application implements some dialing rules defined by IT manager for placing an outgoing call.

This icon appears in the My Instant communicator status bar when rules have been defined and activated by the system administrator.

For each country, these rules define the dialing method which is performed for national and international calls: • 2 stage dialing

• Web service make call (Internet call) • Direct cellular call

Optionally, administrator can apply one enterprise policy regarding use of data in roaming state, for communication cost saving.

3 policies are possible:

• Full DATA: standard mode, all services are available.

• On demand DATA: all automatic features like notification and call-log refresh are disabled and user must explicitly “forces refresh” by using “refresh menu”.

• No DATA: In that case the application acts using only voice features and device initiated calls. When no particular policy is defined, a default method is applied. Please refer to your IT department to implement this feature.

How your call is managed

17 Usage on 2G, 2.5G, 2.75G networks

message appears on the screen to alert you.
