Anywhere Connect iPhone and iPad – Call Settings

Introduction

Anywhere Connect supports the following service management features allowing supplementary services to be managed. From the main menu, select Call Settings. From here, you can configure Do Not Disturb, Call forwarding, using VoIP or mobile calling (applicable for mobile devices) and Spectrum Anywhere.

Spectrum Anywhere

Spectrum Anywhere allows service providers to offer fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) services without any additional equipment.

Spectrum Anywhere simplifies communications for on-the-go users and remote users by extending the features of a desk phone to any other fixed or mobile device, regardless of the network or handset manufacturer. Callers dial one number and can reach you on any phone the user chooses. A desk phone, cell phone, and/or a softphone may ring simultaneously.

Enjoy voice call continuity with the ability to move live calls from one device to another without hanging up.

Troubleshooting

The troubleshooting function can be used if there are issues encountered with the application. It collects and sends diagnostic information to a predefined support e-mail address that is configurable via branding. This helps the support personnel to identify the issues. The information being sent consists of applications and media engine diagnostic logs.

Troubleshooting is managed by a menu entry in Settings. It can be accessed from two places in the client:

  • Using the Help button on the Sign In screen – Clicking on Help opens the Settings screen that contains the help and troubleshooting-related entries. This can be used before the user signs in, which is most often for cases in which a user has issues with sign-in or connectivity.
  • From the General Settings screen – Help and troubleshooting entries are available at the bottom of the Settings menu. These are accessible while the user is logged in.
