Telephones and Consoles Description, Installation, and Operation
allowing more effective management of calls using PC applications such as
Microsoft Outlook™.
An RS-232C cable is required to connect the PC to the CTIA. The CTIA
connects to the M3900 Series Digital Telephone through the Accessory
Connection Module (ACM). The CTIA is a small cartridge accessory and can
be inserted into either the small or large footstand opening.
The CTIA is powered through the ACM. The ACM receives power through
the telephone through the telephone line cord which is connected to a
Teladapt wall transformer power supply (see Figure 37 on page 194). Check
with your Nortel distributor for the recommended wall transformer for the
M3900 accessories. Install the Accessory Connection Module (ACM) into
your M3900 Series Digital Telephone (refer to the ACM Installation Sheet)
before you install your CTIA.
The CTIA cartridge provides the user:
• connectivity to the PC
• voice call control, using the TAPI SP software included with the CTIA
Telephone Application Programming Interface (TAPI) software
The Desktop TAPI Service Provider software accompanies your CTIA
Cartridge. The Desktop TAPI Service Provider software interprets the
information sent to the telephone and passes it on to a TAPI application.
TAPI-compliant applications usually support activities such as placing,
answering, holding transferring, and conferencing calls. This can include the
information presented to the set display.
Personal Directory PC Utility Software
In addition to the TAPI software which is included with the CTIA, you may
wish to purchase the Personal Directory PC Utility Software. The Personal
Directory PC Utility software uses your CTIA Cartridge to connect your PC
and M3904 telephone so that you may exchange data between your PC and
your telephone’s directory.
The Personal Directory PC Utility software provides a faster, easier way to
create or modify a Personal Directory on the M3904 and M3905 telephones.
