SmartPhone App

By using the SmartPhone App, you do not need to enter your personal phone number into the Avaya Office Cloud system, keeping it confidential.

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/avaya-cloud-office/id1495845694

Change smartphone ringtone

By default, the Avaya Cloud Office app will use the same ringtone you have for your smartphone.  To help differentiate which number is being called, you may want to select a different ringtone for the Avaya Cloud Office app.

Open the app and tap on the icon in the upper left.

Tap on Phone

Tap on Ringtone

Select the desired ringtone.


Switching between devices

The Avaya Cloud Office app on your smartphone can be used to make and take calls without configure your personal cell phone number in the Avaya portal.  It is also possible to move a call from your computer to your smartphone's app and back.  Here's how.

Transfer call from computer to smartphone

If you are on a call on your computer, open the Avaya Cloud Office app on your phone.  Along the top, you will see Switch call to this device.  Tap on that.

This will automatically switch from your current device to your Avaya Cloud Office app on your smartphone.

Transfer call from smartphone to computer

If you are on a call on your smartphone, open the Avaya Cloud Office app on your computer.  Along the top, you will see Switch call to this device.  Click on that.

This will automatically switch from your current device to your Avaya Cloud Office app on your computer.

Who can see my presences?

By default, someone will be able to see if you are or are not on a call, but not who you are on a call with.  You can modify this to grant someone access to answer your phone as well as see who you are on a call with.

See https://help.rit.edu/sp?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0042769 for details.

Headsets

App Headset Settings

It is possible to configure which speaker/mic the Avaya app is to use.  Here's how.

Open the Avaya app on your computer.

Click the Settings icon in the lower left corner of the window.

Click on Notifications and audio along the left-hand side.

Under Audio input, select your Microphone source

Under Audio output, select your Speaker source.

For the Ringer source, we recommend All audio sources so all of your speakers ring for an incoming call.

Under Headset support, click the slider next to Manage to turn it on.  Select HID headsets.

Updating your headset's firmware

On your computer, open the Jabra Direct software.  Ensure that your dongle is attached to the computer and that your headset is turned on.

Click Updates along the left hand side.

In the upper right, you can click Check for updates.

Updates notifications will be automatic and with the exception of Software updates, you can install them without admin rights.

For Software updates, you can ignore them as Saunders Tech Support will automatically push them out as they become available.
