4.1Overview Aastra 800 Service

The Aastra 800 communications system is realized by several programs which are running in the background. These programs are controlled by a windows service named “Aastra 800 Supervisor Service”.

The windows service is active after the PC system is started, even if no user is logged in. Moreover, the windows service is executed using a specific user name – which for example prevents a standard user from unauthorized access.

Shortly after starting the Windows operating system, the Aastra 800 communica- tions system is initialized as follows:

■The operating system starts the “Aastra 800 Supervisor Service” service. Now the respective service program is running continuously in the background. The service program should not be terminated normally.

■The “Aastra 800 Supervisor Service” in turn starts two sub-processes: the Aastra 800 main application (“Aastra800.exe”) with normal execution priority and the RTP service program (“Aastra800_rtp.exe”) with a high execution pri- ority.
