PARTNER
®
Advanced Communications System
Application Programming Interface (API)
The PARTNER Application Programming Interface (API) card is a PCMCIA card, similar to the
Backup/Restore Card, Software Upgrade Card, or PARTNER Remote Access PC Card. It replaces the
Backup/Restore Card (Silver Label/12G Type) that comes with the PARTNER
®
Advanced
Communications System (ACS) Release 6 or later Control Unit.
The PARTNER API card enables the following applications to work with PARTNER ACS Release 6 or
later: Screen Pop, Small Call Center, Interactive Voice Response (IVR), 911 Solutions, Call Accounting
and Traffic Reports, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
API is a feature enhancement for PARTNER ACS that allows new and existing server based applications
from Avaya’s Developer
Connection
program to work with and enhance the operation of PARTNER ACS
Release 6 or later systems.
The software allows API to be activated in place of Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR). API is a
feature that provides for switch reporting details of incoming, outgoing, transfer and conference traffic on
the switch. It also reports entered account codes and the activation/deactivation of Do Not Disturb. API is
similar to SMDR, except that all events (for example, off hook, time, originating extension, line accessed,
number dialed, Caller ID number, etc.) are sent out the SMDR port (RS232) near real time. SMDR waits
until the call is completed and then sends all the data for the entire call.
