Features
To connect the OpenCom 100 to existing company hardware, "actor" ports
(output) and "sensor" ports (input) can be provided by retrofitting a doorstation
interface card. For example, this can be used to operate a door opener and a
doorbell via the system (this requires additional equipment).
There are two variants of doorstation equipment interface cards:
■
On an OpenCom 130 or an OpenCom 131 a "M100-TFE" interface card can be
operated. This card provides two actor ports and three sensor ports to connect
doorstation equipment.
■
On an OpenCom 150 a "M100-TFE-2" interface card can be operated. This card
provides four actor ports and four sensor ports. This card enables to operate
two entrance intercom systems, each providing two sensor ports for bell keys.
OpenCom 100 enables you to use CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) applica-
tions. The TAPI (Telephony Application Programming Interface) and CSTA (Services
for Computer Supported Telecommunications Applications) standards are sup-
ported for the purpose of integrating CTI applications. OpenCom 100 also features
an integrated browser-based CTI application, the OpenCTI 50. The OpenCTI 50
allow users to call up and use telephone functions from their PCs.
Cascading
Using the expansion module, the OpenCom 130 can be cascaded with a second
OpenCom 130 communications system. An Ethernet switch on the expansion
module further enables applications featuring media convergence, such as the
operation of a VoIP interface card M100-IP.
It is possible to cascade two OpenCom 150 (rack version) units. Two ports of the
Ethernet switch residing on the main module can be used externally. Two other
ports are available for internal use with interface cards.
With the OpenCom 131 no PBX cascading with another system is possible.
However, PBX networking with a second infocom system is possible.

Note: As an alternative to the COM port, call charges can
also be transmitted to an external programme for recording
charges via the CSTA (Computer Supported Telecommunica-
tions Application). There is a corresponding conversion pro-
gramme available for doing so. This is on the product CD in
the "\Aastra" directory. If you desire further information,
please contact your representative or Aastra sales.
