FEATURE
DESCRIPTION
CTI is an advanced terminal feature that allows a PC and its TAPI compliant
software application to connect to the Xen IPK system. The Xen IPK system
provides all station information to the PC, called a CTI Terminal, that it
normally provides to a digital Multiline Terminal. The synergy provided by
the CTI Terminal and Xen IPK system is limited only by the software
application running on the CTI Terminal. Automatic Data Lockup, Screen
Popups, PC Attendant Consoles, and Directory Dialling are examples of
these software applications.
CTI is implemented using a Computer Telephony Adapter and RS-232C,
and USB CTI interfaces are available for D
term
Series i and DTU-type
multiline terminals.
