  2. CTI CSTA

  3. CSTA Computer Suported Telecommunications Applications CSTA is an OSI layer 7 protocol which is defined to communicate a Computer Network with a Telecommunications Network.

  4. CSTAWho defines it? ECMA is the international standards organization responsible for developing the CSTA Standard. Task Group 11 is the specific working group focused on CSTA. CSTA is also an ISO/IEC Standard

  5. CTI Overview

  6. CTIDefinition PBX providing Telephony Information to Computer Application Computer Application controlling PBX CTI

  7. CTIDefinition • CTI is the science of adding computer intelligence to the making and receiving of phone calls (Harry Newton - CT Magazine) • CTI combines the computer´s information management strength with the telephone´s communicating power (Mitel White Paper) • CTI is the technique of coordinating the actions of telephone and computer systems (Carl R. Strathmeyer - Dialogic Corporation)

  8. CTIFirst Party vs. Third Party CTI Application First Party Call Control - CTI application has the ability to control/monitor a single device. Third Party Call Control - CTI application has the ability to control/monitor more than one device. CTI Application

  9. CTIExamples of Features ACD Call Control Line/Set Control ACD Features Get/Set Agent State Make Call Answer Transfer Conference Hold & Retrieve Hang Up Device Features Speaker On/Off Mute Get/Set MWI Get/Set Button State

  10. CTIACD Call Call Arrives on Trunk Call Enters IVR CTI Events Call Enters ACD Time Call Delivered to Agent Conversation

  11. CTIAPI vs. Protocol • Protocol - specific set of rules, procedures or conventions relating to format and timing of data transmission between two devices • API - software that an application program uses to request and carry out lower-level services performed by the computer’s or a telephone’s operating system.

  12. CTIAPI vs. Protocol

  13. CTIProtocols/API´s • CSTA - protocol from ECMA • TAPI - API from Microsoft • JTAPI - API from Sun

  14. CTI API´s AND PROTOCOLS ACD Call Control Line/Set Control CallPath CSTA Phase I and II TAPI 1.0 TSAPI JTAPI

  15. CTI API´s AND PROTOCOLS ACD Call Control Line/Set Control CallPath CSTA Phase III TAPI 2.x and 3.0 TSAPI JTAPI

  16. CSTA

  17. CSTA ASN.1 Protocol CSTA Protocol (ECMA-285) is based on ASN.1, a notation standardized by ITU-T that defines an abstract syntax for a protocol. • ASN.1 - Abstract Syntax Notation One ITU-T X.680 - Basic Notation ITU-T X.690 - Encoding Rules

  18. CSTA XML Protocol CSTA XML Protocol (ECMA-323) - Set of XML Schemas. Uses the following W3C technologies: • XML 1.0 • XML Schema Definition • SOAP - Simple Object Access Protocol

  19. CSTA Versions • Phase I - Services (ECMA-179) and Protocol (ECMA-180). June 1992. • Phase II - Service (ECMA-217), Protocol (ECMA-218) and Technical Report TR/68. Some services added to Phase I. Dec. 1994. • Phase III - Service (ECMA-269&ISO 18051) and ASN.1 Protocol (ECMA-285&ISO 18052), Glossary of Definition and Terminology (TR/72&ISO 18053), Scenarios (ECMA TR/82), Migrating to CSTA Phase III (ECMA TR/80), and XML Protocol (ECMA-323).
