End-users can control their own phone calls using the computer. Networking services. The ICX offers several ways to set up networking -- tying multiple ICX systems together through the public switching network. AC15/E&M Tie Lines let you connect directly to another ICX system using a leased voice line.
Programming from the RS232 port. A PC computer or laptop can be connected to the ICX phone system, via a DB9-pin RS232 port on the SCC card inside the cabinet. Then, from the computer, you can program the phone system with our proprietary PC-based software, PC Customize Tool.
