Architecture

Filtering is based upon the forwarding of the Manager’s line toward at CTI port. A CTI treatment is triggered when the call rings on the CTI port in order to redirect the call to the Assistant or transfer it to the Manager, while at the same time triggering possible notices for interception.

Starting with CUCM 10, Imagicle Manager Assistant uses an External Call Control Profile associated to the Manager’s line, which queries the application to know of the call should be redirected to the Assistant or to the Manager. This solution makes it unnecessary to program the forwarding.

Imagicle Manager Assistant also effects a dynamic filtering, which permits the definition of numbers which are excluded from filtering. It also permits the Manager to intercept a filtered call.

Imagicle Manager Assistant assigns an illuminated button (BLF) to supervise the Manager and Assistant line, as well as the status of filtering.
