Thank you for using the AMC for Android-based mobile phones. The AMC is a fixed-
mobile convergence (FMC) application and runs on most phones based on the Android
Version 2.3 and 4.0 - 4.4. Please note that the AMC for Android can also be run on
Blackberry OS 10.2.1 and later!
Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) is the integration of mobile phones into the fixed-line
communications system of an enterprise. The AMC installed on your mobile phone
behaves like this. It acts as a regular desk phone, supporting all of the important PBX
features using mobile networks.
The AMC Solution utilizes existing networks, thereby avoiding additional installation
costs. To start with, the existing mobile network or WLAN access point can be used.

1. Integrated usage of cellular networks via your corporate PBX
2. Access to PBX features (Conference, Consultation etc.)
3. Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephony via WLAN or mobile data channel *
4. Automatic handovers (cellular network » WLAN, WLAN » cellular network)*
5. Mobile Least Cost Routing (HTTPS call back & Travel SIM) *
6. Corporate directory search *
7. IM and Presence *

most favorable rates depending on your location and on available networks. All user
relevant information regarding the above mentioned possibilities and features will be
given at the appropriate points throughout this manual.
The features marked with * require a license or depend on the used provider,
