Overview of Functions
For a CTI solution, the PBX can be connected to a local network (CTI server and CTI clients). In order to do so, a CTI software such as PBX Call Assist is required.
As an alternative, we recommend the following software manufacturers:
The LAN-TAPI provides the TAPI 2.1 interface over the Ethernet port on the PBX.
A Microsoft server then distributes the functionality throughout the network (third party network connection) onto the separate Microsoft computers so that telephony software, e.g., PBX Call Assist or other TAPI applications can use the TAPI functions. The PBX is addressed by the server over the Ethernet interface. When a user wants to dial from the client PC, the command is forwarded to the server. The server signals this to the PBX which then establishes the connection.
LAN-TAPI supports the following phones connected to the PBX:
• Analogue phones
• Standard VoIP phones (SIP)
Functions
LAN-TAPI supports the following functions:
• Display of the called MSN (multi-company operation)
• Call forwarding (CFU, CFB, CFNR)
• Call deflection (forwarding before call acceptance)
• Transferring calls
• Splitting a call
• Monitoring (status display of the extensions)
• Pick-Up
• Do not disturb
• Blind transfer using ESTOS
Important: The possible functions are dependent on the end devices/applications used.
Note: For controlling a telephone of the COMfortel D-series via LAN-TAPI, the
CTI Access Token is required (from firmware version 1.4 of the telephone). The code given by the PBX for each phone is transmitted to the phone by provisioning.
Configuration
• If necessary, CTI Access Token for a telephone of the COMfortel D-series activated.
-Telephones > Assignment
• Configuring the password for the network connection of the TAPI server and if necessary, adjusting the network port of the TAPI server.
-Administration > Network > Server service > LAN TAPI
• Installing TAPI driver (TSP).
