area network (LAN). The link is made through a programmed MLX extension jack
that is connected to an ISDN BRI PC expansion board (such as the EICON board)
on a server running Novell NetWare software, version 3.12, 4.11, or 4.1.
The CTI link allows calls on SA buttons to be monitored and controlled from client
workstation applications connected on a LAN to the server. The link can support
LAN workstations with analog BIS (ATL) multiline or MLX telephones, not single-
line telephones or analog membrane telephones. The link allows worktop
applications to control their associated telephones. QCC operator extensions
cannot use CTI link applications, but DLC operators can. Only one link is
necessary, and it can support up to 136 LAN clients, depending upon the types of
extensions (analog or MLX) and the volume of calls handled by the software
applications.
Incoming calls on SA buttons may arrive through calling group distribution, PRI
routing by dial plan, DID (Direct Inward Dial) lines/trunks, or transfer from a DLC
or QCC operator or automated attendant.
NOTE:
A DLC only passes calling party information when it is not one of the
extensions using a CTI application. For details, see the Feature Reference.
