Picazo VS1 - Connect98™ Optimizing the PC and phone for today's business.

Connect98™ is a CTI client application for the Picazo VS1 business telephone system. By uniting the phone and the PC, Connect98 makes both of these indispensable tools more productive. Using Connect98, up to ten calls can be handled at once — you can also prioritize callers, route them through the phone system, and link calls to data in Personal Information Manager applications. Make the most of your phone and your PC — with Connect98. Connect98™ software is a CTI client application from Picazo that makes businesses more productive by integrating all the functionality of a telephone into the dynamic framework of a PC. Working as a station application for the powerful Picazo VS1™ business telephone system, Connect98 operates within a familiar Windows-based environment, enabling simultaneous management of up to 10 calls by activating a wide array of call control features with a simple click of the mouse.

Microsoft^® Compatibility
Connect98 works with many popular off-the-shelf Windows-based applications, sharing data and commands via Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) or the Microsoft Telephony Applications Programming Interface (TAPI). This means calls are handled smoothly and customer contact information can be accessed quickly — in short, Connect98 is a revolutionary way of maximizing the effectiveness of every call.

Support for single-line phones connected with Connect98™
The following occurs whether or not Connect98 or the PC is running:

• The phone rings.
• When taken off-hook, a ringing single-line phone answers the incoming call without having to interact with the Connect98 console.
• Users can dial the single line phone rather than using the Connect98 interface to dial.

Support for Connect98 with PCOM
If the station is configured as a "Connect w/PCOM" port type, a dial tone is always presented to the user when the phone is off-hook and there is no connection. If the station is configured as a "Connect w/CTIM" port type, a dial tone is presented to the user ONLY when Connect98 or the PC is NOT running. This is to prevent a user wearing a headset with a CTIM™ or PC Card from hearing a constant dial tone when not connected to a call. If Connect98 or the PC is NOT running, only one line is available for making or receiving calls.
