DCS Compact II General Description Chapter 4. Features4-8Each Miscellaneous card provides a dry contact pair to control a customer–provided common bell or common audible device. These contacts must beprogrammed as members of a station group and may provide steady orinterrupted closure.Computer Telephony Integration (CTI)Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) allows integration between the DCSCompact II and a personal computer system (PC) or a local area network (LAN).Caller ID service is required on TAPI and TSAPI inbound call applications thatuse the CLIP information to display computer records in conjunction with thepresentation of the call to the station on the DCS Compact II system. TAPI andTSAPI are described below.l TAPIJointly developed by Intel and Microsoft, TAPI(Telephony ApplicationsProgramming Interface) Delivers telephony features to the Windowsdesktop. TAPI is an open application interface (OAI) protocol that supportsFirst Party Call Control. A DCS Compact II Computer Telephony Module(CTM) is required to connect any keyset to a personal computer runningWindows 3.1 or Windows 95. The number of CTMs that can be installedon a system is only limited to the number of keyphones. The features andfunctionally of the DCS Compact II keyset are not changed.l TSAPI (developing)TSAPI (Telephony Services Application Programming Interface) wasdeveloped by Novell and AT&T and is the method of integrating the DCSCompact II system to a computer. TSAPI is a LAN based solution allowingcomputers to communicate directly to the telephone system over thenetwork system. This establishes a logical connection rather than aphysical connection between telephone and computer. It eliminates thecost and administrative overhead of connecting every PC to a desktopphone. It emphasizes third–party call control. (Example: calls can betracked as they are transferred, making it more suited to large officeapplications). TSAPI can emulate first–party type call control for the DCSCompact II system, rather than from the telephone as TAPI does. Forexample, to make a call the DCS Compact II rather than the telephonewould dial the phone number, and the call would be then transferred tothe telephone. Novell Telephony Services 2.1 or higher specifies the datacommunications link between the Novell Netware file server running theNetware Telephony Services NLM and the Samsung DCS Compact II. The
