16.1 Overview of Automated Attendant Function

The information in this chapter does not apply to DM3 boards. In addition, it only applies to

Windows.

As a result of a patent license agreement between Dialogic and Syntellect Technology Corporation

(STC), you can purchase products that are licensed for specific telephony patents held by

Syntellect Technology Corporation directly from Intel. These patents cover a range of common

functions used in computer telephony such as automated attendant, automated access and call

processing to facilitate call completions.

One way to protect yourself from possible patent infringement is by purchasing specific Intel

hardware and software that include a license for the Syntellect Technology Corporation (STC)

patent portfolio. Boards that support the Syntellect License Automated Attendant have “STC”

included in the part number.

By doing so, you participate in a program that covers past, present and future applications. (Any

Intel product that does not contain the “STC” designation in its part number is not licensed under

the STC patent portfolio.)

The Syntellect software is designed to be incorporated into any type of application. If your

application requires patented Syntellect technology, you can use the API function calls in the

Syntellect software to assure that licensed STC-enabled hardware is in the system, and if so, you

can implement the patented functions.

The Syntellect hardware and software package offers a superset of features not available on non-

STC boards. They include:

•a new library of API function calls

•a sample automated attendant application that can be integrated in your voice processing

application. The automated attendant:

–checks for an incoming call

–answers the call and plays a voice file
