81.3. How to configure PCphone

PCphone is a web based application that, with the aid of a plugin, allows the Firefox browser to be used as a POTS phone. It can be connected in the Abilis private or public side. Suppose that the OPC and HTTP resources are already configured.

Enter into the Abilis control-program or open the configuration file with the Console configurator and type the following commands.

a dev:vpots-1	Add a VPOTS device (e.g. VPOTS-1).
warm start	Restart Abilis.
	Repeat the same command for each CTI VPOTS Port.
s ctip:101 num:21 descr:pcphoneuser	Configure the phone number assigned to the port and the description.
s ctip:101 sp:8000	Configure the maximum permitted coder bit rate to reduce the traffic, if it's used in public side.
a user:pcphoneuser pwd:pcphoneuserpwd http:yes	Add the user `pcphoneuser` and enable it to HTTP.
s user:pcphoneuser opc-monitor:ctip	Configure the OPC monitored service.
a http rights path:/sys/opc/ user:pcphoneuser	Enable the `pcphoneuser` to access the “Operator Panel Control” link.
a http rights path:/sys/pcphone/ user:pcphoneuser	Enable the `pcphoneuser` to access the PCphone.
s user:pcphoneuser ctip:101	Configure the `pcphoneuser` for CTI port 101.
s user:pcphoneuser real-name:PCphone	Configure the real-name, this name is displayed on OPC panel.
init ctisys	Initialize the CTISYS resource.
save conf	Save the configuration.

	Note
	PCphone requires a separate licence in CPX and needs also SoftPBX licence to activate OPC.

	Note
	The VPOTS have the same behavior as the POTS.

	Note
	PChone plugin is available only for Mozilla Firefox.

	Tip
	Interesting chapter: Chapter 74, PCphone.
