Description
What is XN120 CTI
The NEC Infrontia XN120 has capability to use Computer Telephony Integration (CTI). It uses the Telephony
Application Programming Interface (TAPI) 2.1 Protocol. To allow CTI an Ethernet interface is present on the
EXIFU-A1 option card. Further information relating to the EXIFU-A1 option card is available in the EXIFU
Guide.

What this guide covers

This guide contains the installation procedure for installing MyCTI in a Client/Server environment. This is
installed in three stages as follows:

TAPI Driver installation (AspireTSP)

MyCTI TapiServer installation
MyCTI Client installation

The TAPI Driver is installed to a PC which acts as the TapiServer; the TAPI driver provides real time
communication between the XN120 PBX and PC acting as TapiServer.
The TapiServer application is installed to a PC which acts as the TapiServer. The Server application should be
installed to a PC containing the TAPI driver (AspireTSP). The TapiServer application is used to distribute the
TAPI to client PCs where the MyCTI Client is installed.
The Client side is installed to Client PCs. The Client application consists of a dialer module which integrates
into Microsoft Outlook. The Client application then connects to the MyCTI TapiServer to allow monitoring and
control of Telephones.
The on-line help available within MyCTI provides further information for installing MyCTI into any other
environment not covered in this guide.
