Overview, Installation and User Configuration

AltiGen’s MaxMobile Communicator application, installed on a G1 phone based on Google’s Android platform, makes the phone a fully capable office phone extension and serves as a “desktop” call control client, allowing you to access, configure, and perform most of your company's PBX functions directly from the graphical user interface in MaxMobile Communicator. This includes call handling, call forwarding, conferencing, conversation recording, directory and contact lookup and dial. In addition MaxMobile Communicator lets you save Favorites.

MaxMobile Communicator runs on any mobile phone device that is using the Android operating system. When you log in, it connects your Android phone to your company's MAX Communication Server (MAXCS) as a native extension of the system. If you have a desktop phone with the same extension, calls to this extension are now routed to your Android phone as long as you are logged in to MaxMobile Communicator. When you log out, those calls are again routed to your desktop phone.

MaxMobile Communicator and MAXCS SystemThe following diagram shows the path of calls into and out of a MAXCS system.

Figure 1. The paths of MaxMobile Communicator calls

2 MaxMobile Communicator User Guide

Like a remote extension, the G1 phone running MaxMobile Communicator serves as an office extension, making and receiving calls through the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to and from your company’s MAXCS system. You can call company extensions (both inside and remote extensions) just by dialing the extension number. Your calls to destinations outside the company can go through the MAXCS system, as illustrated in Figure 1, if you so choose.

Requirements• Supported mobile phone model: G1 phone from T-Mobile running the

Android operating system. You should be familiar with the keys on the phone, the status bar icons, and general phone navigation. See the Getting Started booklet that came with your phone.

• MAX Communication Server ACC 6.0 Update2 or MAX Communication Server ACM 6.0 Update2 loaded with MaxMobile QuickFix pack.

• MAXCS must be configured to enable mobile extension features.

• Your system administrator must have assigned a MaxMobile license to your extension.

• A 3G or Wi-Fi connection is needed for access to the call control functions in the MaxMobile Communicator call screen.

Installing MaxMobile CommunicatorWi-Fi (if available) is recommended when you work in your office. The following steps are used to set up the G1 phone.

Enable Wi-Fi setting on the G1 phone

1. Press the Home key, then press the Menu key and select Settings.

2. Select Wireless controls.

3. Select Wi-Fi.

4. Select Wi-Fi settings and set up and connect to your Wi-Fi network.

After you log in, 5 buttons are displayed: Directory, Favorites, Call, Call Log and Voice Mail:

What Happens at LoginAt login, MaxMobile Communicator registers its extension as a mobile extension with your company’s MAXCS system and downloads data from MAXCS.

Login in progress.

At this point, you are ready to use MaxMobile Communicator to handle calls and voice mail


When Connection Is LostIf the MaxMobile Communicator phone loses connection with MAXCS, MaxMobile Communicator changes to offline state and will show (Offline) in every title bar. Call control functions are not available in this state.

The login state is kept regardless of the data link connection, whether the phone is turned off or is in power save mode, or you’re exiting the application.

MaxMobile Communicator will try to reconnect to your company’s MAXCS system when one of the following happens:

• A call comes in from the mobile trunk

• You open MaxMobile Communicator

• Your G1 phone has been turned off and is turned back on. In this case, MaxMobile Communicator will start automatically and try to connect to your company server. “Initializing...” is displayed on your screen.

Logging OutTo log out from MAXCS, press the Menu key and tap Logout. Your G1 phone is disassociated from the PBX extension. If an IP phone was previously registered with this extension, the IP phone will now re-register with the extension.

Here, MaxMobile Communicator is connecting to your company server when you turn your G1 phone back on.

Automatic Download of New VersionEach time you start up the MaxMobile Communicator application, a comparison is made with the version of the application that is stored on your company server. If the versions don’t match, then the server version is downloaded automatically into the AltiGen folder in the microSD memory card of your G1 phone.

Figure 2. Downloading of the newest version is shown in both the MaxMobile Login screen and the phone’s Notifications screen

You will receive an error message if the removable memory card is not currently installed in your phone:

MAXCS Configuration

This chapter is for the MAX Communication Server (MAXCS) system administrator. The system administrator needs to configure MAXCS to establish connections with MaxMobile Communicator on the Android phone. The administrator should follow the instructions in the MAXCS Administration Manual for configuring Mobile Extension settings, and include the following:

1. Create Mobile Trunks. Select a trunk and configure it as a mobile trunk. The trunk line number registered in PSTN is very important. It will be used by MAXCS to verify whether a call is a mobile call.

2. Create an extension for the MaxMobile Communicator user. MaxMobile Communicator uses the extension number and password as ID to log in to the MAXCS system.

3. Assign an Altigen MaxMobile license to the extension. To do this, from the MaxAdmin main menu, select License > Client License Management. In the Client License Management dialog box, select MaxMobile in the License Types column, and add the appropriate extension to the Members list.

4. Configure Extension Anywhere. (To open this dialog box, in Boards view, double-click MobileExt board. In the Board Configuration screen, double-click the appropriate entry in the Channel Mapping List.)


Figure 1. Extension Anywhere Configuration screen

• Name–Enter the user name of the person using the MaxMobile Communicator phone.

• Target Phone Number–Enter the phone number of the MaxMobile phone. This is used when MAXCS makes a call through PSTN to the MaxMobile phone.

• Caller ID–Enter the phone number of the MaxMobile phone. This is the incoming caller ID verification. MAXCS uses it to determine whether a call is from a mobile extension. It's also used to find a mobile channel in the MaxMobile Communicator application. This parameter is very important. It is used in the MaxMobile Communicator login.

Note: When a MaxMobile Communicator user logs in to the MAXSCS system, the assigned extension number, extension password and cell phone number are used as identification. First, MAXCS checks the extension number and extension, then it uses the cell phone number to search the mobile channel table. If MAXCS finds one channel's

Caller ID is the same as the cell phone number, it will assign this channel to the extension number. The extension is allowed to log in as a mobile extension. If no channel is found, the login fails.

• Clear the Phrase check boxes in the Extension Anywhere Configuration screen.

5. If the MAXCS is behind NAT, add a virtual public IP address to map to this server so that the data access from a 3G network can reach this server.

6. Open firewall ports TCP 10080 and 10081 for both virtual IP address and private IP address.

Configuring Extension “Caller IDs”The T-Mobile phone will not display caller IDs that are less than 10 digits long on its incoming-call screen. If a caller ID is less than 10 digits, as it is for an in-system extension number, the incoming-call screen displays “Unknown”.

AltiGen recommends configuring your MobileExt board to send the system’s main number as the CID for extension calls. This way, the Android phone user will be able to identify an incoming call as coming from the company.

To get to this configuration,

1. Double-click the MobileExt board.

2. Double-click a channel group. In the MobileExt Configuration screen, select the option shown below.

Phone users, themselves, can add the company phone number to their contact list. The name they configure will be displayed in the incoming-call screen.
