Pbx Features - Altigen AltiWare OE/ACC Version 5.0A Administration Manual

Key AltiServ Characteristics
AltiBackup, Exchange integration, and Call Router Advanced are
services that are automatically launched when the AltiServ system
starts. You do not have to login and start these applications manually.
This provides better security and reliability for these services.
• TAPI Gateway Support - AltiServ is an open platform that allows
third party telephony developers to develop applications for the
AltiServ system. The system supports Telephony Applications
Programming Interface (TAPI) 3.0.
AltiServ supports a complete TAPI service provider that accepts first
party call control (such as AltiView, AltiAgent, and AltiSupervisor)
and the third party client-server call control (such as call routing
applications).

PBX Features

The PBX features include telephone switching for making calls, answering
calls, and transferring calls. For more sophisticated business applications,
AltiWare provides advanced features such as group call routing, multiple
trunk and route access codes, scheduled call routing, and flexible call
restrictions. For effective system management, AltiWare provides
information about system traffic and statistics to help the system
administrator understand the dynamics of business communications and
adjust resources such as the number of outside lines, accordingly.
For more information on using PBX features, see the AltiServ User Guide
or the AltiView User Guide.
In addition to station-to-station dialing, the PBX features include:
Account Codes - allows the user to input an account code on
NEW
each call to track telephone usage in order to bill back to clients
or create a record of calls specific to a project and to budget and
forecast expenses. Forced Account Codes force the user to input an
account code on each call to track telephone usage. The administrator
can configure which extensions are required to enter an account code.
In OE 5.0A, an option is added that allows the system to require an
account code for long distance calls and international calls, but not
local calls.
• Busy or Ring No Answer Call Handling - sends calls to voice mail,
another extension, or Auto Attendant if the called extension or group
is busy or does not answer.
