cations.

The OIP services are the core components of the Open Interfaces Platform and are
in charge of controlling the system. They provide interface functions, with which
the system is controlled (eg. Call Control or Configuration).
OIP as telephony server
OIP can be used as a telephony server to provide CTI functionalities on telephony
clients. The Microsoft telephony server is now no longer required. Added security is
also provided with the different rights assignment.

linked to the Master. It is then possible for instance to obtain network-wide call log-
ging for all the communication servers, to display call charge information on the
system phones or to display status in the presence indicator field of a PC operator
console for all the users connected.
Connection of external data sources
OIP supports the connection of external directories and it is also possible to set up
adaptable alarming and messaging systems.
