58 PC Call Server

58.1 Introduction

The PC Call Server is a Windows service, connected to one or more configured network controllers. It handles all operational requests from PC Call Station Clients and/ or a PC Telephone Interface Client. The PC Call Server is configured by the PC Call Server Configuration Client, which for security reasons runs on the same computer as the PC Call Server. The PC Call Server does not have a user interface of its own.

Note

Make sure that the software versions of the Praesideo system and the versions of the PC Call Server, PC Call Station Client and PC Telephone Interface Client are always the same. It is advised to update to the latest version.

Note

After installation, the PC Call Server will automatically be registered to the Windows Firewall to allow incoming and outgoing network traffic. If the PC uses a different firewall than the standard Windows firewall, the PC Call Server must be manually registered to that firewall as exception to avoid that the firewall blocks the network traffic without notice. Blocked network traffic causes the application to malfunction.
