Scenario 3: A Dual-Location Company

Order-takers and customer service staffers use a different T1 facility, which
is programmed for the PRI access arrangement. This provides call routing
by dial plan for DID-like functionality and allows them to take advantage of
Caller ID services that the company subscribes to from network service
providers. The Caller ID service provides incoming caller information for
customer calls arriving on the customer 800 line. Calling party information
is used as a customer key field in the company’s customer database, and
allows their CTI link worktop software applications to bring up customer
information as calls come in.

Extension Modules. The headquarters system uses six 008 MLX
extension modules to connect MLX telephones and digital equipment; the
West coast office uses five 008 MLX extension modules for the same
purpose. One MLX port is used to connect the company’s CTI link
hardware, which also links to a LAN server running Novell NetWare
software. Each control unit includes a 016 tip/ring extension module
(Release 4.0 and later) for connecting modems, fax/modems, analog fax
machines, and automated answering applications.
