Bosch PRS-TIC-E PC Telephone Interface Client License, E-Code

The PC telephone interface client is a client of the PC call server and shall be used with the PC call server. It shall run on a PC under Windows on the same PC as the PC call server.

The PC Telephone Interface Client shall act as an interface between incoming VoIP calls and the PC Call Server to make live calls into the sound system, using a telephone, hard phones as well as softphones. A traditional POTS telephone or PBX connection can be converted to VoIP via a Call Routing Gateway, such as the Cisco Linksys SPA3102.

A voice response menu shall be used for feedback to the caller about selections that can be made. Selections shall include caller identification with access control and selection of a predefined call. A predefined call shall include priority information and may include start and end attention tones, prerecorded messages, a set of zones and/or zone groups and the possibility to add live speech (an announcement) to the call.

Via the voice response menu the caller shall be able to add zones or zone groups to the set already defined in the predefined call and the caller may be prompted for the live announcement. The announcement of the caller shall be recorded on the PC and

shall be played back after completion of the call. The caller shall be allowed to make subsequent calls via the telephone without waiting for the broadcast of the previous call to be finished. It shall be possible to repeat the last call, including the live announcement, without having to enter all data and the live announcement again.

It shall be possible to customize the content of the voice response menu by replacing the sound files (in gsm-format).

It shall be possible to assign different access rights per user/caller, such as starting certain predefined calls or access to certain zones.

The PC telephone interface client shall be a Praesideo PRS-TIC, manufactured by Bosch Security Systems.
