Thread: Computer dialing with ATA > how to xfer to digital set?

Thanks for your recommendation. The CTA100 looks like just the thing. Unfortunately, it seems to present problems of its own. For starters, it appears to be discontinued? I found one for sale on eBay but it has no software or documentation. And they use RS-232 ports, which most PCs don't have anymore. Mine doesn't and I don't want to add a kludgy USB/RS-232 converter to my laptop -- already went down that route for my PDA and...

it depends on the software you are using to make the call over the modem if the callmanager has the ability to transfer you will just need to put in the hookflash *70 in the software another way to do it (maybe) is after the call is made in the dialing string put a hookflash *2 after the number ,which will put the call on hold ,and you can pick it up on the desk set(you will need to have line appearances of the line you will be using. again...

Why don't you use a cta 100 hooked up in line with your set and a null modem cable connected to computer. This will allow you to use your address book on the computer to dial phone numbers via your set.

You can still get CTI's.  Try Paragon Communications in MD.  Tell Shauna I said hi. Make sure you get the latest sw they've got.  The last one I got shipped with 1.2 sw, and I had a hell of a time getting the right sw to run on XP. Thanks, again, netwt!
