Handling Outgoing Calls

Using StratLink with Outlook '97/'98
Microsoft Outlook is an application that can offer a unified in-tray. It is particularly powerful
for contact management and telephony applications when used in conjunction with Microsoft
Exchange. The use of Microsoft Exchange, Outlook and Toshiba's TSPI/StrataLink products
is beyond the scope of this document, however this document will describe simple incoming
and outgoing call handling using Outlook and Toshiba's TSPI/StrataLink.
This application's bulletin provides ideas for linking Outlook '97/'98 to the Strata DK system,
but always consult your Outlook manuals when customising Outlook for your application.
This bulletin only supplies ideas and set-up parameters to create an interface for linking the
telephone network information with the Outline database. For more in-depth information on
the features, capabilities and settings for Outlook you should consult the supplier or
manufacturer of the software.
