User’s Guide
NexDirector is designed to provide the user with the capabilities of a traditional call director console on the computer screen. Instead of expensive hardware, the user is provided with a computer console and the abil- ity to control calls with the click of a mouse.
NexDirector can be installed and run on multiple computers on the network. It uses Internet based TCP/IP protocols to communicate with the NexPath Server. Each desktop installation is associated with a nearby telephone by a login page, which requires a valid system extension and a valid user password (same as the voice mail password) in order to log in.
