KONICA MINOLTA Native BroadWorks Anywhere
Overview
BroadWorks Anywhere is a native, fixed convergence solution that lets end-
users designate a single phone number for all incoming and outgoing calls,
regardless of which phone they are currently using mobile, office PBX, home,
etc. End-users receive the added benefit of a common business calling
experience across all devices. This capability allows you to dial colleagues
with a four-digit extension from your mobile phone or transfer calls taken
from your mobile phone to another colleague’s desk or mobile phone without
having to know whether he or she is in the office.
BroadWorks Anywhere is a Hosted PBX feature that provides the following
functionality:
- Receive calls on an alternate phone: BroadWorks Anywhere allows calls placed to a user’s office phone to ring any phone(s) set up with the feature. Most users will designate their mobile phone as their “BroadWorks Anywhere phone.”
- Place calls from an alternate phone: From their BroadWorks Anywhere phone, users can place calls that display the outbound Caller ID of their desktop phone.
- “Pull” active calls between desktop and mobile phones: When on an active call using a desktop phone, users may push that call to their BroadWorks Anywhere phone. Conversely, while on an active call on a designated BroadWorks Anywhere phone, users can pull the call to the desktop phone.
- Place long distance and international calls from an alternate phone: When users place long distance or international calls from a BroadWorks Anywhere phone, usage will be tracked and reflected on their office phone invoice just as any other toll calls would appear.
- Users can manage the BroadWorks Anywhere feature from the customer portal.
- Once the designated BroadWorks Anywhere phone is set up, to place and receive BroadWorks Anywhere calls, users must first dial the BroadWorks Anywhere Portal number. Administrators may alter the BroadWorks Anywhere Portal settings as needed.
NOTE: The Simultaneous Ring and BroadWorks Anywhere features cannot be enabled at the same time. When you enable Sim Ring you will automatically disable the Anywhere feature and vice versa.
Feature Prerequisites
Before the BroadWorks Anywhere feature can be used, the following conditions must be met:
- At least one inbound number must be available to be assigned as a BroadWorks Anywhere number.

Feature Operation
Once a BroadWorks Anywhere Portal number has been assigned in the customer portal and the BroadWorks Anywhere User has configured the BroadWorks Anywhere feature, the BroadWorks Anywhere feature is ready for use. The following sections describe how to use the BroadWorks Anywhere feature.
Simultaneous Ring
Follow the procedure below to receive Simultaneous Ring calls.

BroadWorks Anywhere Sim Ring Notes:
- If a call is immediately intercepted by a voicemail system, which could occur when wireless phones are turned off or do not have service or when Do Not Disturb is enabled on the Hosted PBX desktop phone, all other phones will immediately stop ringing. If the voicemail system answers quickly enough, the other phones may not ring at all.
- Any number being included in the BroadWorks Anywhere Sim Ring feature cannot be included in other Sim Ring lists.
- BroadWorks Anywhere Sim Ring does not allow users to activate “Do Not Sim Ring if I’m on the phone” option.
