CTI applications

Forum 5004/5008/5012 enables you to use CTI (Computer Telephony

Integration) applications. The TAPI (Telephony Application Programming

Interface) and CSTA (Services for Computer Supported Telecommunications

Applications) standards are supported for the purpose of integrating CTI

applications.

14 Features

Forum 5004/5008/5012 also features an integrated browser-based CTI

application, the Forum CTI. The Forum CTI allow users to call up and use

telephone functions from their PCs. Using the Forum CTI you can conveniently

manage image files for phone book entries (“Picture-ID”, display on the

Forum IPhone 545 and Forum IPhone 5025 / 5030 / 5040).

Furthermore, the Forum CTI Touch web application is a web-based solution

available for controlling telephony functions with current smartphones.

Call charges recording and connection data recording

You can use an external programme in conjunction with the Forum 5004/

5008/5012 communications system to record connection data. The

connection data are sent to the external programme via CSTA (Computer

Supported Telecommunications Application), where they can be analysed.

The separately licensable Forum Count web application enables you to record,

store and analyse telephony connections using configurable filters. You will

find more information on this topic in the Online Help of the web console.

Further telephony features

You can optimize telephone communication using the team functions and

call-queuing function.

Furthermore, additional programme packages can be activated and operated

which provide extended and convenient telephony functions. These include,

e.g. the Forum Voicemail, Forum Auto Attendant and Forum ACD digital voice

memory and voice information systems.

You can query the internal phone book of the Forum 5004/5008/5012

communications system via LDAP. It is also possible to integrate entries of an

external directory via LDAP. Furthermore, integration into a network

administration solution via SNMP is possible. For further information on the

various application interfaces, please refer to Application Interfaces starting

on page 304.

Networking

For meeting rising demands, the Forum 5004/5008/5012 communications

system can be networked with other communications systems via Q.SIG-IP or

SIP tie line. This is possible in a LAN as well as via VPN (“Internet tunnel”).

This enables you to connect distant locations and branches into a single, large

telephony network. Low-cost data connections can be used to network the

communications systems of branch offices instead of ordinary permanent

Features 15

lines. The number of simultaneous call connections between two

communications systems is limited by the available connection bandwidth an

also depends on the number of licenses you purchased for the “Network”

feature. Via the Q.SIG IP / SIP TIE Line networking, the Forum 5004/5008/

5012 communications system can serve as a subsystem or as a DECT server,

for example.

Networking is described in the chapter entitled PBX Networking starting on

page 228.

DECT networks

Forum 5004/5008/5012 supports the setting up of a DECT network,

enabling mobile office communications. For larger offices, using several DECT

stations (RFP, Radio Fixed Parts) can expand wireless network coverage and

provide a transparent handover between the RFPs while maintaining the

telephone connection.

Handsets as system terminals with all the system telephone features are

available for DECT telephony and handsets using GAP and CAP standards are

also supported. The handover between the RFPs also functions with

handsets using the GAP standard.

Up to 4 calls can be made simultaneously via an RPF, and up to 8 calls can be

made simultaneously if an RFP is connected via 2 U

pn

connections. The DECT

network can also be operated using VoIP (see U

pn

DECT and DECTover IP

®

starting on page 207).

Voice over IP (VoIP)

Forum 5004/5008/5012 supports the connection of VoIP terminals,

enabling the company’s existing internal network infrastructure (LAN with

100 MBit/s or 1000 MBit/s) to be used for telephony as well. VoIP system

telephones of the Forum IPhone 525 and Forum IPhone 535 types are

available for this purpose. These devices have the same functionality and

support the same features as the non IP-enabled system terminals.

For users wanting to use PC-supported telephony, IP system terminals are

available as separate licensable software versions (Softphone).

You can operate SIP system phones Forum IPhone 512 / Forum IPhone 545,

Forum IPhone 5010/5020/5025/5030/5040, standard SIP telephones

and SIP entrance intercom systems.

16 Features

Yo u c a n o p e ra te IP cameras in the Forum 5004/5008/5012

communications system. IP cameras can be used as door cameras in

conjunction with the entrance intercom systems (EIS) configured in the

communications system. These can be IP-based (SIP) EIS or analogue EIS. IP

cameras can also be used generally for monitoring rooms, parts of buildings or

outdoor areas.

You will find further information on this in the chapter on Voice over IP (VoIP)

starting on page 150.

DECTover IP

®

DECT networking via VoIP is another possible option for offices already

extensively using VoIP telephony. The Radio Fixed Parts (RFPs) are connected

via network data connections, so they do not occupy any U

pn

ports and can

use existing network connections. With DECTover IP, VoIP protocol data is

changed into DECT-compatible voice data direct on the RFPs. DECT-RFPs and

DECTover IP-RFP can be used together in combination in many cases; it is

however not possible to switch between RFPs using different technologies

during a call.

E-mail

An e-mail function, which can use the POP3, APOP or IMAP4 protocols to

check for incoming mail, is integrated into the Forum 5004/5008/5012. Mail

account retrieval can be configured for each member of staff

when configuring Forum 5004/5008/5012.

Forum 5004/5008/5012 then fetches the headers (Subject) and sender

information from incoming e-mails from the mail servers at preset intervals

and forwards them to the user’s system terminal.

E-mail accounts for sending mail can also be configured for users. E-mails can

then, for example, be sent direct from the Forum CTI to other users. In

addition, users who have had a voicebox configured for themselves can be

notified by e-mail of new voicebox messages.

Forum 5004/5008/5012 records important events and errors in an internal

logbook, the error store. Entries in the logbook (system messages) can also be

sent by e-mail to inform or alert system administrators.

Factory Settings on Delivery

The following basic settings and features are active on delivery. We

recommend that you configure the Forum 5004/5008/5012

communications system to suit your individual requirements before using it

(see Configuration starting on page 138).

Tip: Notes on the functions listed below can be found in the glossary

(provided as a PDF file on the system CD).

Telephony Basic Settings

● The Forum 5004/5008/5012 is configured ready for use in Belgium.

● An inactive SIP trunk with the name “SIP” is configured. This SIP trunk is

bound to the “External trunk” route using the line seizure code “0”. For

external calls, you have to set up the SIP line.

● The password for the “Administrator” user is empty.

● The system PIN is set at “0000”.

Authorisations

The allocation of authorities regulates which functions terminals on

Forum 5004/5008/5012 can use. These authorities are configured for so-

called user groups, to which users and their terminals are then assigned.

Three user groups are preset: “Administrators”, “Standard” and “Guests”.

“Administrators” can access all functions in Forum 5004/5008/5012 and

have unlimited configuration rights. Users in the “Guests” group can not

configure Forum 5004/5008/5012, may not make any external calls and

can only use a limited range of Forum 5004/5008/5012 terminal functions.

The “Standard” user group is well suited as a starting point for creating user

groups for normal users of the system (e. g. the staff members of a company)

because of its default settings.

Note: When the Forum 5004/5008/5012 is commissioned, all

connected terminals are initially in the “Administrators” group.

For more details on the configuration of user groups, refer to the

online help in the chapter entitled “User manager”.
