IPK II – PC Assistant
Description
The Elite PC Assistant enhances the operation of the NEC digital telephone set by providing easy
access to common, and not so common, IPK II voice control features. This software application provides
a very intuitive user interface that can be conveniently located at the top, side, or bottom of the PC
screen. The user interface can even "shrink" into the edge of the screen and become visible when a call
arrives, or when the user moves the mouse to the edge of the display.
In addition to quick access to these IPK II features, the Assistant provides a call log for easy viewing of
recent received, missed, or made calls – just like your cell phone. It also includes a directory to keep
your commonly dialed numbers close at hand, and optional features like voice recording, personal
greeting, and screen pops using Microsoft Outlook, ACT! 2005, or Goldmine 6.7 or higher or Elite (this
option is available only when using the Professional version and a CTU is required).
PC Assistant has the following main components:
1. Elite PC Assistant Application Software
This application runs on a PC and provides the PC-based GUI (Graphical User Interface) and
features.
2. Telephony Admin
This application interfaces between the PC Assistant and the 3
rd
party TAPI drivers.
3. CTU/CTA Adapter
This adapter is installed on the multiline telephone and interfaces the Electra Elite IPK II KSU with
the USB (Universal Serial Bus), or Serial port on the PC. Using the optional CTU adapter is
required for voice recording and personal greeting features.
4. Headset (Optional)
The headset can be plugged into the multiline telephone and used when making or receiving calls
with the Elite PC Assistant.
