Overview
The Aastra CTI Touch web application is a web-based CTI application optimised for
devices with a smaller touch-sensitive screen (smartphones or tablet PCs).
The web application has some resolution-independent control elements arranged on
a single page. The Aastra CTI Touch web application is particularly suitable for smart-
phones with the Google Android™ or Apple iOS™ operating systems. To operate the
web application you simply require a browser; no additional software components
need to be installed.
The Aastra CTI Touch web application is suitable for the following situations:
Accessing your workstation telephone: Connect your smartphone with the
company LAN via WLAN and can then control your workstation telephone.
Alongside entering call numbers, the functions presence, short messages, call lists
or accessing the communications system phone book are all available.
Obtaining information via mobile telephone service/VPN: Your smartphone is con-
nected with the company LAN via a mobile data connection while you are on the
go. You can, e.g. query the call lists of your workstation telephone or send a short
message to other workstation telephones.
Access to the Aastra CTI Touch web application using a mobile telephone service con-
nection can be conducted via the communications system internet connection. To do
so, the administrator of the communications system or company network must con-
figure port forwarding or VPN access (see Configuring Port Forwarding and Configuring
VPN with PPTP).
Using the Aastra CTI Touch web application requires a licence
(“Aastra CTI Touch User”). The licence determines how many users may use the
Aastra CTI Touch web application simultaneously. The communications system
administrator activates the corresponding licence in the Configurator of the commu-
nications system on the System: Licences page.
