Features of CTX 670
Computer Telephony Integration (CTI)*
Industry Standard CTI
Strata CTX systems fully support TAPIthe industry-standard method of desktop
Computer Telephony Integration, enabling you to enjoy the full range of advanced CTI
benefits.
Desktop CTI Link
Call information relative to a particular digital telephone can be passed to a desktop PC
via a USB connection to the telephone. Various TAPI applications can be accomplished using
commercially available PIM application software such as ACT! or GoldMine.
Toshiba StrataLink middleware greatly enhances the use of the basic TAPI interface,
allowing you to customize the call-control functions of your PC application with many
value-added capabilities.
System CTI Link
Strata CTX670 also supports CTI applications through an industry-standard Computer
Supported Telephony Application (CSTA) open architecture interface (OAI) link that
connects a PC application server to the Strata CTX670 via an Ethernet LAN connection. This
provides call control functionality and telephone support for advanced Call Center, IVR,
CRM, and other applications. A Software Developers Kit (SDK) will be available for outside
vendors to make their applications work in an open architecture. The SDK
contains a CSTA to TAPI Telephony Service Provider Interface (TSPI) for third party TAPI
applications.
Caller ID Applications
The most popular CTI applications involve Caller ID and automatic caller information
retrieval from a database. When the phone rings, the telephones LCD displays the
callers telephone number, and the TAPI PC application displays the callers
file. This saves time and enables you to provide fast, accurate, personalized service to
callers.
Some feature implementation may require additional auxilliary equipment.
Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP)*
Cost-effective VoIP Applications
Toshiba Strata CTX telephone systems integrate with voice over IP telephony gateway
products that provide service-enhancing and cost-effective applications for customers with
multiple offices. You benefit from much greater call center effectiveness, improved
customer service, and office-to-office toll bypass calling that saves substantial cost.
Toll Bypass
Voice and fax traffic between a main office and branch office, normally routed through the
public switched telephone toll network, is instead carried via the Internet or a private
intranet. Cost savings result from eliminating long distance toll charges between these
locations, especially for international calls.
IP Call Center
One of the major expenses of a call center is the cost of incoming 800 lines. The VoIP
telephony gateway solution can produce substantial savings by reducing incoming calls on
800 lines. You can set up local point of presence (POP) locations enabling geographically
dispersed customers to dial a local access number and access the gateway. The VoIP system
routes these calls via a private IP network and/or the public Internet to the call center,
instead of dialing a central 800 number. As a result, these incoming calls become local
calls for customers, preventing your company from incurring 800 toll charges for these
calls.
