PC/PBX Connection
The PC/PBX Connection application software offers the users of IBM compatible
PCs the voice and data capabilities of a fully integrated voice and data
workstation.
Applications
The PC/PBX Connection application software can be used with the DEFINITY
Communications System Generic 1, Generic 2, and Generic 3, the DEFINITY
ECS, System 75, and System 85. It is particularly useful for those users who wish
to use their PCs as a terminal for a host computer or wish to have their PC
communicate with other PCs. It is targeted to “power” telephone users who want
to eliminate many pieces of equipment from their desk.
Capabilities
The PC/PBX Connection can be used to perform the following activities:
■ Dial calls from a PC keyboard
■ Use customized telephone features from a keyboard
■ Set up a personal telephone directory, search the directory, and dial voice
and data calls from the directory (it can contain up to 32,000 entries)
■ Know when telephone messages were received, read the messages on the
screen, and have the system automatically dial calls to people who have
left messages
■ Log all incoming and outgoing voice and data calls and recall them on
the PC
■ Use voice terminal and speakerphone or voice terminal with built-in
speakerphone to make hands-free calls
■ Use security feature to keep directory and message information private
■ Use a PC as a terminal connected to a variety of host computers
(synchronous and asynchronous)
■ Transfer files between a PC and another PC or host computer
■ Set up “script programs” to have the system perform certain data functions
Moreover, voice and data functions can be used simultaneously, and other PC
applications can be run while running PC/PBX connection in the background.
