PassageWay Direct Connection
PassageWay Direct Connection links your company’s desktop personal comput-
ers with an easy-to-use Microsoft Windows interface to give you greater business 
communications capabilities than either the telephone or the personal computer 
offer alone.
PassageWay Direct Connection provides valuable computer-telephone 
integration benefits, plus it is a platform bridge to a wealth of other 
computer-telephone integration applications. Open Application Programming 
Interface support and Windows Dynamic Data Exchange support allow 
independent software vendors or internal software developers to create new 
computer telephone integration applications or to enable existing applications to 
be interfaced to the telephone. These independent software vendor’s products 
utilize the PassageWay platform to expand the power and flexibility of computer 
telephone integration at the desktop.
The PassageWay Direct Connection software applications are for the individual 
desktop personal computer. However, using the Application Programming 
Interface, Dynamic Data Exchange, or independent software vendor’s products, 
PassageWay Direct Connection can be linked to the your Local Area Network.
PassageWay Direct Connection is well-suited for those users who are constantly 
conducting business using both the a Windows-based personal computer and 
an Lucent Technologies telephone and want to boost their efficiency.
Here is a list of the computer telephone integration software applications 
included with each PassageWay Direct Connection product:
AT&T Call is a software card-file database that allows a customer’s record 
to be previewed, the appropriate telephone number to be automatically 
dialed, and notes to be taken quickly all with just a few mouse clicks.
AT&T Buzz instantly retrieves and displays the AT&T Call record 
associated with an incoming call based on the Calling Party’s Telephone 
Display Information (Automatic Number Identification, Call Prompting, 
Conversant). AT&T Buzz also allows users to answer incoming calls from 
their personal computer with only a single mouse click.
Log Viewer automatically maintains a record of every call either made from 
AT&T Call or received from AT&T Buzz.

A-law support and/or 8400 series telephones, which allow both two-wire and 
four-wire connections.
