CHAPTER 4 Windows Desktop Tools-

NexPath Dialer

NexPath provides a network-based dialer application called NexDialTM for use on Win95/98/ME and

WinNT4/2000systems with the Release 6 software. NexDial is similar to Microsoft's dialer, but includes the

many features of the NexPath system, such as hold,transfer, consultation transfer, conferencing, and addi-

tionally voice mail access. There is also a VoiceMail indicator and a Do N otDi sturb indicator. You can

maintain your own phone book, and view and filter the call log.

The NexDial program interfaces to the NexPath system using the Nexpath API, a LAN-based Simple Com-

puter TelephonyProtocol (SCTP) that is more powerful and far easier to use than Microsoft TAPI. NexDial

was the first commercial implementation of SCTP. SCTP is an emerging new standard for client-server

computer telephony.

The NexDial program will run on any Win95/98/ME or WinNT 4.0/2000 system with TCP/IP installed.

Youmust have TCP/IP installed and configured, and an IP address and/ora system name assigned to the

NTS Server, in order for NexDial to be able to contact the NTS Server. See the chapter Network Installa-

tion startingonpage21oftheSystem Administration Guide for details on connecting the NexPath Tele-

phony Server to a network.
