Release 5.0 and later systems support the use of an MLX port as a Computer
Telephony Integration (CTI) link on Hybrid/PBX mode systems. The CTI link
feature allows CTI applications to interact with the MERLIN LEGEND
Communications System over a local area network (LAN). The CTI link is the
system’s hardware and software interface to the Lucent Technologies
PassageWay Telephony Services product, which supports the Windows® 95,
Windows NT, Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11 for Workgroups, Apple® Macintosh®
OS and UNIX® systems platforms on the client side. CTI link circuitry connects to
an MLX port on the system and to a LAN server using Novell NetWare (releases
3.12, 4.1, and 4.11) software.
NOTE:
The Apple Macintosh and some of the UNIX client libraries for Telephony
Service do not support MERLIN LEGEND Communications System private
data. They only support standard TSAPI call services and events. For
details, regarding this issue, see the
PassageWay Telephony Services
Network Manager’s Guide
