Response Point Assistant
The Microsoft Response Point Assistant software is installed on both the system
administrator’s computer and each phone user’s computer. When you check the boxes
to install Administrator and all other Response Point components on page 14,
Assistant is also installed on your computer. This allows you to access your own
personal phone account as a phone user.
You, as system administrator, must add phones to the system and assign extension
numbers before anyone can log on to the Assistant software. For more information
see
System Installation
on page 11 and
Adding Users
on page 19.
Note: If you do not have the Assistant software installed on your computer, see the
AastraLink IP Phone Users Guide for installation instructions.
