Internet Call Director uses a 'pop-up' window to notify you of incoming calls while you
are on the Internet. This window appears on your computer screen with the caller's name
and telephone number. Several buttons give you the option of answering the call,
providing the caller with a greeting, or forwarding the call to another line (local telephone
number) or Personal Voice Mail.
Saves the cost of a second phone line. Gives you complete control over how you handle
your calls. Ensures that family members don't miss any calls when someone is online.
Logs all calls received with date, time, name and phone number. Automatically monitors
calls when you're online
Internet Call Director monitors your telephone line when it is busy. If you receive a call
while on the Internet, the call forwards to our Internet Call Director server, which collects
the Caller ID information, then sends it across the Internet to your screen. While the 'pop-
up' window showing the caller information is on your screen, you can select one of the
following call management features to handle the call:
• Answer - The caller is advised you wish to take the call. The call is held while
you disconnect from the Internet, then the call is sent through (your phone will
ring). When you are finished with the call, just reconnect and you are back on the
Internet.
For High Speed Internet users, there is no need to disconnect from the internet. Simply hang up on
the call you are currently on and select answer the call from the ICD pop up options and your 2nd
call will be sent through to your phone."
• Forward - If you have a cellular or a second line, you can select Forward and the
caller will be transferred immediately to the number you choose (local numbers
only).
• Voice Mail - The caller is advised that you have been notified of their call and is
asked to leave a message. If you do not have Personal Voice Mail, the caller is
told to try back later.
• Play Message - The caller is advised that you are not answering and is asked to
call back later. Customers who subscribe to Personal Voice Mail will have their
calls forwarded to their mailbox.
4. What happens if the ICD customer ignores the incoming call and makes no
selection?
After the requisite number of rings the caller will be forwarded to Voice Mail or if the
customer does not have Voice Mail to the Call Back Later recording. NOTE: Incoming
callers will typically hear 3 rings before forwarding to the ICD server, then 4-5 rings
while the ICD server notifies the subscriber of the call and gives the subscriber an
opportunity to select call treatment.
Internet Call Director is available to all single line business and residential customers
province wide.
Internet Call Director costs just $4.95 a month and is added to your monthly phone bill.
You may still want to subscribe to Call Display and/or Call Waiting for other phones in the house, when
you are not at your computer.
12. I do not subscribe to Personal Voice Mail. Will I have to get PVM?
No. Internet Call Director will work without Personal Voice Mail. You will simply have
one less option for dealing with incoming calls.
13. If I subscribe to Call Waiting, how will this affect Internet Call Director?
For ICDIR to work, Call Waiting must be disabled when you connect to the Internet. You
probably do this already by entering *70,/70# in your modem's dial up string.
15. Does Internet Call Director give the same information as Call Display when
someone calls from a cellular phone, large business, or private number?
Yes. The Internet Call Director service uses the same Caller ID information.
16. How much does the cost of Internet Call Director compare to the cost of a second
phone line?
For $4.95 per month, Internet Call Director allows you to identify calls you receive while
on the Internet, but you must still disconnect from the Internet to take the call if you have
only one telephone line. At approximately $ per month, an additional line is more
expensive, but it allows you to take incoming calls without disconnecting from the
Internet.
17. I would like to try Internet Call Director on my business line. Is this possible?
Currently, Internet Call Director is intended for residences and small businesses with one
or two phone lines. Businesses with CENTREX lines cannot currently subscribe.
18. I would like to try Internet Call Director on my Smart Ring number. Is this
possible?
Yes. There is no extra charge to include a Smart Ring number with ICD.
19. Does Internet Call Director make an audible ringing sound when calls come in?
Internet Call Director has the capability of audible ringing, which is great if you have to
leave your computer for a minute. You need a sound card in your PC for this to work.
20. Does Internet Call Director work with any Internet Service Provider?
Internet Call Director will work with any Internet Service Provider.
Internet Call Director works with AOL so long as you have AOL 3.x software and
Windows 95 on your PC. Older versions of AOL (before version 3) will not operate
properly with Internet Call Director. AOL 5.0 does not allow sufficient time for you to
disconnect to take a call with ICDIR however, notification of incoming calls is
unaffected.
21. I have a rotary phone. Can I still get Internet Call Director?
Call Forward Busy is a feature required by Internet Call Director. You're probably
familiar with Call Forward, a feature that lets you forward all calls to a specific number
until you turn it off. Call Forward Busy works the same way, except that all calls are
forwarded to a specified line only when your line is busy. Since it works only when it
needs to, there is no need to turn it on and off.
When you sign up for Internet Call Director, Call Forward Busy is automatically
requested for you. Charges for Internet Call Director include Call Forward Busy. Once
the programming on your line is complete, your Internet Call Director software will
display caller information while you're on the Internet.
The software and its installer totals just under 1MB in size. The software download page

Operation
When the line is busy, incoming calls are transferred (call forward busy) to the ICD
server to determine if the customer is currently connected to the Internet. If the customer
is on the Internet, the server will respond to the caller with ringing while simultaneously
sending the caller's name and number to the user's computer. The server will wait for up
to 18 seconds (approximately 4 rings) while the user decides how to handle the call. If the
customer is not on the Internet but the line is busy the caller is forwarded to the
customers Personal Voice Mail or to a busy signal if the customer does not subscribe to
Personal Voice Mail.
If the customer is on the Internet, the pop-up window will offer four options: Answer,
Forward, Play Message or Voice Mail.
• The caller will hear, "The person you are calling has been notified of your call.
Please wait", OR your customized greeting. (The greeting for Answer is the same
as for Forward.)
• The ICD server then prompts the customer to disconnect from the Internet. Within
a few seconds, the customer's telephone will ring; the caller will hear "Your call is
now being transferred."
*Customer must wait for their telephone to ring before answering otherwise the person
calling them will hear a fast busy.
Note: Busy callers will hear a busy tone, followed by 4-5 rings while the ICD
server notifies the ICD subscriber. Unanswered callers will typically hear 3 rings before
forwarding to the ICD server, followed by 4-5 rings while the ICD server notifies the
ICD subscriber. Use of Auto Action, Send all Callers to Voice Mail will reduce the
number of rings a caller will hear before being forwarded to Voice Mail.
• If the customer does NOT disconnect from the Internet in time, the caller will
hear, "The person you are calling is unavailable at this moment."
• If the customer does disconnect but does NOT take the call, the caller will hear
ringing.
• A drop down menu will appear offering one of the following 3 options.
• The caller will hear one of the two following messages as selected by the
customer:
• I'll Call You Back Message: "The person you are calling is unavailable at the
moment but will call you back. Thank you for calling," OR your customized
greeting.
• Call Back Later Message: "The person you are calling is unavailable at the
moment. Please call back later," OR your customized greeting. (The greeting for
Call Back Later is the same as for Voice Mail)
NOTE: Long Distance callers will not be charged when reaching one of these recordings.
• The caller will hear the following message if the customer has Personal Voice
Mail, "The person you are calling has been notified of your call. They have
requested you leave a message. Please wait, your call is being transferred to voice
mail," OR your customized greeting. (The greeting for Voice Mail is the same as
for Call Back Later).
• The caller will hear the following message if the customer does not have voice
mail, "The person you are calling is unavailable at the moment. Please call back
later."
If no selection is made the call will automatically be forwarded to Personal Voice Mail or
if the customer does not have voice mail, to the unavailable message.
Note: Busy callers will hear a busy tone, followed by 4-5 rings while the ICD
server notifies the ICD subscriber. Unanswered callers will typically hear 3 rings before
forwarding to the ICD server, followed by 4-5 rings while the ICD server notifies the
ICD subscriber. Use of Auto Action, Send all Callers to Voice Mail will reduce the
number of rings a caller will hear before being forwarded to Voice Mail.

matter which ISP is connected.

Unanswered calls will forward to the ICD server and a pop-up window will notify the

busy - current ICD function). If the customer has voice mail, unanswered calls (pop-up
ignored) will forward to their mailbox. Refer to Auto Action for voice mail tips.

Call Waiting
Before logging onto the Internet customers should turn off Call Waiting using either *70
or 70#. (See Call Waiting for more details)

will display the call as PRIVATE or UNKNOWN; Caller Reveal does not pass the
unblocked information to ICD.
Enterphone
Open The Door - Customers that have phone-based entry systems can now use ICD to
"buzz" visitors in with the Open Door feature while on the Internet. When they receive
an incoming Call Pop-up Window notifying them of a phone call, Open Door appears as
a subset of the Play Message button. The customer simply clicks the Open Door button.
The caller hears: "Please wait while the person you are calling arranges to open the door
for you".

window).
Smart Ring
Calls to the Smart Ring number will forward to the ICD server when the line is connected
to the Internet. Customers using Smart Ring for fax/modem should subscribe to Call
Forwarding Primary Number. Calls to the Smart Ring number cannot be uniquely
identified by ICD service. When selecting the 'Answer' option, the call will ring with the
standard single cadence, not the double Smart Ring cadence.
ICD overrides the customer's auto disconnect setting, making the connection continue.
Customers using the auto disconnect feature will need to turn ICD off before leaving the
computer, then it will automatically disconnect after no movement.
