Forum 523/524 in
Computer Networks
One of the outstanding features of the Forum 523/524 is the inte-
gration of telephony and computer networks. Connect the
Forum 523/524 via a computer network (LAN) with suitably con-
figured workstations, and you can use its network features from
these workstations. Using a Web browser you can access:
the Forum 523/524 Configurator
call charge administration
the das Forum CTI, with which telephone functions can be
used on a PC
the Forum 523/524 central telephone book and your personal
telephone book as well as to the company telephone book (if
the multi-company variant is activated).
In addition, the Forum 523/524 can be used as an Internet access
server. RAS access can also be implemented using the
Forum 523/524, which enables the integration of external staff in
the LAN.
In this chapter you will find several examples of configurations
showing integration of the Forum 523/524 in a LAN. Which exam-
ple applies to your situation depends on the size and properties of
the existing or planned LAN infrastructure.
Note: Several menu entries mentioned in this chapter are availa-
ble only, if you switch on the Level: Expert in the top level dia-
logue of the Configurator.
