Personal Computer Interface Unit (PCIU)

The Personal Computer Interface Unit (PCIU) is a device that you can connect between a
digital station port and its proprietary telephone. The PCIU allows telephone users to
initiate telephone and voice mail related functions from their personal computer (PC).
The PCIU includes Service Provider Interface (SPI) software on computer diskettes.
With this software installed on the user's PC, the PC users can employ their Telephony
Applications Programming Interface (TAPI), third-party Microsoft* Windows
applications programs to control many useful telephone functions.
When the Visual Voice Processing (V.V.P.) Visual Call Manager (VCM) software option
is available, the voice mail system can use the serial data path to the PCIU to send
messages to the telephone's display and to the SPI on the PC.

Personalized Ringing Tone
The system provides a group of distinctive tones for station ringing. A station user can
choose a tone from this group to provide a distinctive ring at his or her telephone. Often,
when several telephones are located close to each other, each user chooses a different
personal ring tone. The system provides six distinctive tones for users to choose from.

Pooled Line Access (Line Group Access)

Outside lines can be grouped together in up to four different groups. Users can program
an autodial button to select a line group or manually enter a dialing code for access to a
line. Grouping can reserve certain lines for certain clusters of stations as in a
tenant-service arrangement. The assignment of line groups frees station buttons normally
used for line selection thus making these buttons available for use with a feature such as
personal DSS/BLF with station-to-station messaging. Lines are placed in line groups
with the line class of service programming.
