intercom can also be connected using additional devices.
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).

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”.
