Starting MyIC the First Time Before starting the application for the first time make sure that all necessary options are configured. Select Options > My Instant Communicator from the Home Screen to access the configuration screen. MyIC uses two sets of options. All relevant options for telephony features are read from the ICS client configuration: the user cannot change these options. Other options can be amended to change the client behavior to suit your needs: For the client to work correctly it is important that client configuration URL and the URL of the BlackBerry MDS server are set. Both options are available from your administrator. In addition, you need to enter the login credentials for your ICS user. After installing the MyIC application, a background task will be started as soon as the device has rebooted. This background task is used to accept incoming notifications from the ICS and needs the Trusted Application status to do so. You must answer the question with Yes. When the application is started for the first time, you may see certain security questions. Which of these questions you will have to answer and whether you re allowed to use all of the features or not, depend on the IT Policies that have been applied to your BlackBerry by the administrator. Under normal circumstances all requested features should be available to you. All Rights Reserved Alcatel-Lucent 2009 Page 7

The application will try to open different network connections to servers in your infrastructure. You need to allow these connections. You may see a dialog similar to that shown here. We recommend that you check the Do not ask for checkbox, so future connections to the ICS will not trigger this dialog again. In addition to allowing the necessary connections you will be prompted to allow Input Simulation for MyIC. This will be used to automatically answer the incoming reverse phone call from the PBX if you place an outgoing call using MyIC. Choose Save after pressing the BlackBerry menu button to allow this for MyIC. The MyIC application will try to access your phone information to be able to recognize incoming and outgoing calls and act accordingly. You need to allow this for MyIC to work properly.

Resetting Security Options If you have answered no to any of the security options and you want to change this at a later stage, you can do so via the application permission settings for MyIC. Select BlackBerry options > Advanced options > Applications > My Instant Communicator, and then press the BlackBerry menu key. From the menu select Edit Permissions. You can now change any necessary options. In addition if you select Reset Firewall Prompts from the context menu you can answer the questions for connections made by MyIC again.

You are correctly connected. This icon is displayed only for a few seconds and is replaced by your on number status. The Eventing channel is lost.

Contact Auto-learning Contact Auto-learning is an option that you can activate to automatically populate the local phone book with business contacts each time a call from a person, who is not listed in your local directory arrives. The next time the person calls you, you will have the caller name and details displayed natively on your BlackBerry screen. The Auto-learning feature works as follows: Each time you receive a business call, the device checks the Local address books for the existence of the caller s full name. If the name is not present, the contact is created with both the Long CLI and Short CLI. The contact file is tagged with MyIC contact in the category field so that you can categorize the contacts in your PIM software. The Auto-learning mechanism only works in 3G mode. If a contact name already exists, no contact is created, even if the phone number is not shown. You can disable this option in the MyIC configuration screen.
