Application interfaces

The most important interface for own and third-party applications is the interface
of the Open Interfaces Platform (OIP). This open interface allows the applications to
be deeply integrated with telephony. Third-party applications can also be inte-
grated on Aastra 400 series systems via different interfaces without OIP.

Open Interfaces Platform

The Open Interfaces Platform (OIP) is a software component that is connected to
one of the supported communication systems as middleware and allows the inte-
gration of data sources and applications. The applications themselves are con-
nected directly to the OIP interface (CORBA) or the OIP TAPI service provider.
The applications access many powerful functions of the communication system
and of OIP itself.
These added-value services significantly broaden the use of the communication
systems and provide a seamless convergence of computer and telephony applica-
tions for the user. With the clearly structured interface the application manufac-
turer is able to gain easy access to the communication system and at the same time
benefit from the integrated functionality of OIP.
