14.4 SwyxIt! controls an external phone
SwyxIt! is installed on the user’s PC and controls an external phone via the user’s phone number when CTI+ mode is activated. This could be a mobile phone or the phone number of another Swyx user.
When on business trips, you can use your hotel room's phone via SwyxCTI+ for incoming calls. Outgoing Calls can also be made with an external phone. However,in SwyxCTI+ only outgoing calls made directly from SwyxCTI+ are listed.
Calls made directly from an external device are not displayed in the SwyxCTI+. Regular charges apply.
You can also enter your mobile number, so that incoming calls are automatically forwarded to your mobile phone.
Another user scenario could be, when a Swyx user is not at his/her workplace, but instead attending a meeting or using a colleague's workplace. Log-on with SwyxIt! , start the CTI mode and activate the pairing to the extension of the meeting room or the colleague.
