Introduction

In following manual we are proud to present you Slican PhoneCTI application, which includes all functionalities enable to integrate phone and computer used by PBX subscriber. Main advantage of this software is integration of phone books stored in PBX and subscriber computer. In Slican PhoneCTI application, phone books stored in PBX are used, changes in phone books can be entered in PBX (from phone of from ConfigMAN application) or in computer (Slican PhoneCTI application). Any modification is immediately visible for other users, with appropriate privileges defined in PBX. Phone book editing rules defined in PBX are also valid for editing in Slican PhoneCTI. Additionally Slican PhoneCTI application includes internal chat functionality (computer user can be any PBX subscriber). Sending messages to other person from phone book, who is not PBX subscribers, is possible via XMPP account (if such account was defined for this person) or as SMS. Sending SMSes is also possible according privileges defined in PBX. Internal chat functionality can be attractive for companies, which use Slican PBX and don't allow , from security reasons, to use common chat, as well for person who use one application and want to communicate with persons who uses different chat applications.

Minimal requirements

To install SLICAN PhoneCTI application, following minimal requirements are necessarily:

• Computer should be powered with clock >800 MHz
• Computer RAM memory should be 1GB minimum
• Computer graphic card should be compatible with DirectX 9
• Operating system - WindowsXP SP2 or later
• Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 or later should be installed on computer
• Web browser Internet Explorer 7 or later should be installed on computer

Installing application on computer which doesn't fulfill mentioned minimal requirements is possible but it will work slowly or not all functions will be active.

Warning! SLICAN PhoneCTI can operate only with PBXes with installed firmware 6.01 or later.

Installation

Slican PhoneCTI application is licensed and using it requires purchase of appropriate license code. Purchased license code is entered during PBX configuration and decides about number of workstations with Slican PhoneCTI application. Application licensing has no influence on its installation. Application setup can be downloaded from Slican webpage and application install on the computer by entering appropriate data, necessarily to log in, in tap Settings - Connection.

Warning! If extension number entered in tap Settings - Connection is not authorized to use PhoneCTI application, it is not possible to connect with PBX and data synchronizing.

Second installation stage (not obliged) rely on uploading to PBX properly prepared file with PhoneCTI application update. It can be done by PBX admin. This activity, if done, enables automatic updating PhoneCTI application on workstations. Updating is described in chapter Application updating.

Application launch

PhoneCTI application can be launched as any other Windows application. In application settings you can activate functionality of automatic launching application after operating system start. Diuring launching application it log into PBX (according settings defined in tap Settings - Connection). After successful login, application synchonizes application data with appropriate data in PBX.

Application updating

Application updating id executed automatically and user has no influence on its proceedings. Similarly as for PBX, VoIP card or REC card firmware updating, updating of Slican PhoneCTI application updating is executed by PBX admin. Every time during PhoneCTI application launching version check (uploaded to PBX and installed on user PC) is carry out. If these version numbers are different, application stored in PBX is automatically downloaded and installed on user PC, next new installed application is launched and log into PBX. Depending on version number updating can be upgrading or downgrading.

Application structure

Designation rules

PhoneCTI application is very simple and intuitive, with help of appropriate icons status of phones visible in application windows. These icons invite user to execute specific action.
