Action and components
Action
Com4Tel is a so-called client-server solution. Each Com4Tel client uses central
components of the Com4Tel-server. This ensures that the relevant data and
settings can be maintained centrally (Com4Tel server) and each Com4Tel client
receives the relevant information.
Figure: Client server solution
The following figure shows a schematic diagram of the interaction between the
individual components.
Installation Manual Com4Tel Client/Server Action and components • 11
Features of the client-server solution
The client-server solution (network solution) has the following features.
•The telephone connection is made via 3
in conjunction with conneCTIon.
•Administration takes place centrally (Com4Tel server). A
Com4Tel user can also configure their keys to their own
requirements.
•Access to the telephone books takes place centrally (Com4Tel
server).
•Each Com4Tel user (client) can use telephone books set up at the
server.
•A journal shows the Com4Tel user (client) who phoned when and
how often, whom they phoned, whom they reached and did not
reach and with whom they spoke.
•Licensing takes place via a central server.

Components
In order to use Com4Tel, you must install and configure various components.
Familiarize yourself with the components for Com4Tel.
Com4Tel Client
Com4Tel Client is a PC application for telephony. A user manages all their
telephone traffic with Com4Tel.
Not only the configuration settings but also the journal data and personal
telephone book are saved in the local database. Changes to the local
configuration are replicated from the Com4Tel client to the server when the
client is quit. Vice versa, when the Com4Tel client is started this configuration
data is collected from the server, just like the data on the calls that have arisen
(journal).
License server
Com4Tel requires valid licenses. The license server controls licensing.
When started the components connect with the license server and test the
necessary licenses. The relevant license files must therefore be available on the
license server.
Issuing the licenses" on page 40
See: "
Com4Tel Server
The Com4Tel server monitors telephony state of configured users and creates a
call history for them (journal). Additionally the Com4Tel server holds the
presence/absence states of all partners. All clients are notified about telephony
and presence states of partners.The Com4Tel server's connection with the PABX
is realized via TOM and conneCTIon (3rd party call control/RPC).
Address book server (ADB server)
An Address book server is used to read in address data, normalize the call
numbers, merge address book entries from different address books and deposit
them, access optimized, in the database. The Com4Tel client uses the address
book server in the event of accesses for data retrieval or address book inquiries
by the users.
Route Info Server (RIS)
The Route Info Server processes requests of Com4Tel server how to handle
incoming calls for a user. Route Info Server knows all rules that a user
administrated using presence management.
Installation Manual Com4Tel Client/Server Action and components • 13
Com4Tel Web@dmin
You use the administration tool Com4Tel Web@dmin to edit the settings of
Com4Tel. Com4Tel Web@dmin is web-based. To edit the settings you will
need a browser on a personal computer within the network.
The administration tool Com4Tel Web@dmin enables you to do the following.
• Adjust the system properties
• Configure and edit the users
• Configure and edit the telephone books
• Import users
Update Server
The update server is used for automatic mapping of the call numbers in the
configured telephone books. This call number mapping ensures flexible phone
number identification. Access to the address data is optimized (faster search
options).
The data in the original telephone books is not changed. The mapped telephone
numbers are maintained in a so-called shadow database.
An update server runs both on the clients (for the local address books) and on the
server (for the central address books).
You can also manually start call number mapping using the call number
mapping tool.
A client can only perform call number mapping for their own contacts.
DB server
The DB_SRV process controls access to the database for the Com4Tel Server.
LNA server
Com4Tel core processes register at LNA_SRV process to be notified about
changes in database.
OmniNames
A Corba naming service (OmniNames) is required and used for the components'
communication. Other Avaya products also use a Corba naming service. You
can also use an already used naming service/server.
Database: Sybase ASE
The Sybase database is used as a relational database management system.
Telephony connection (TOM server)
The TOM server serves as an interface between Com4Tel and the telephony. A
TOM server provides several providers (RPC, TAPI, IP). The Com4Tel server
as well as Com4Tel clients use that uniform telephony interface.
14 • Action and components Installation Manual Com4Tel Client/Server
conneCTIon
The name conneCTIon stands for the interface connection between the telephone
and data worlds. CTI means computer aided telephoning (computer-telephony
interface).
PABX
The application supports the Avaya PABX: I33/I55, I5 and ACM. The PABXs
are modular systems. They are specifically put together to satisfy the customer's
individual requirements.
Telephones
Com4Tel supports the current Avaya telephones in the PABXs I33/I55, I5 and
ACM. You can also use other phones on a project-related basis.
Phone books
Com4Tel can use the following data sources as telephone books.
•Microsoft Exchange 2000/2003 (Active Directory): Global address
book
• Microsoft Exchange: Public folder
• Microsoft Exchange: Shared mailboxes
• Microsoft Outlook: Own contacts
• Lotus Domino (LDAP)
• Lotus Notes: Contacts
• Novell GroupWise (server) (LDAP)
• Novell GroupWise (client): Contacts
• Customer databases (ODBC)
• Personal telephone book
• All LDAP sources in accordance with LDAP V3
