SECTION 1
WHAT IS ELITE PC ASSISTANT?
Congratulations on your purchase of the new NEC Elite PC Assistant. The Elite PC
Assistant enhances the operation of the NEC multiline terminals by providing easy
access to common, and not so common, Electra Elite IPK II voice control features.
This software application provides a very intuitive user interface that can be
conveniently located at the top, side, or bottom of the PC screen. The user interface
can even "shrink" into the edge of the screen and become visible when a call arrives,
or when the user moves the mouse to the edge of the display.
In addition to quick access to these Electra Elite IPK II features, the PC Assistant
provides a call log for easy viewing of recent received, missed, or made calls - just like
your cell phone. It also includes a directory to keep your commonly dialed numbers
close at hand, and optional features like voice recording, personal greeting, and
screen pops using Microsoft Outlook, ACT! 2005, or Goldmine 6.7 or higher.
Elite PC Assistant has four main components:
1.
Elite PC Assistant Application Software:
This application runs on a PC and provides the PC based GUI (Graphical User
Interface) and features.
2.
CTU Adapter:
This adapter is installed on the multiline telephone and interfaces the Electra
Elite IPK II KSU with the USB (Universal Serial Bus).
3.
Headset (optional):
The headset can be plugged into the multiline telephone and used when making
or receiving calls with the Elite PC Assistant.
4.
CTI Server:
The CTI server is an application-based program that allows the PC Assistant to
interface and exchange information with the Elite IPK II over the company
Network.

Electra Elite IPK II
___________________________________________________________________________________
Elite PC Assistant runs on a PC and communicates with the Electra Elite IPK II
through a corporate network LAN. When calls come into this station, the PC Assistant
displays it on the PC, and provides several features that allow the user to handle the
call quickly. Elite PC Assistant can be minimized to run in the background and pop to
the front when call activity occurs. Calls can then be handled using either the
keyboard or the mouse. The user speaks to the caller through the telephone handset,
headset, or speakerphone of the multiline telephone the application is monitoring.

TION 2
WHO USES THE ELITE PC ASSISTANT?
Elite PC Assistant is used by anyone who wants easier access to Electra Elite IPK II
features and enjoys the benefits of quick access to frequently dialed numbers,
viewing of received, missed, and made calls.
SEC
TION 3
WHAT ARE THE MAJOR FEATURES OF ELITE PC ASSISTANT?
3.1
Personal Directory
The Elite PC Assistant provides a personal directory to assist the user with the
call handling activity. Each employee in an organization can be entered into
the directory to provide the user quick access to their personal directory. All
entries in the personal directory will have name and designated phone
numbers: Branch Office, Business, Car Phone, Cellular, Conference Room,
Data, Fax, Home, Home Office, Lab, Mobile, Pager, Remote Office, &
Temporary. The directory also provides an easy method to transfer calls to an
individual.
3.2
Multiline Functionality
Elite PC Assistant can handle multiple incoming and outgoing calls and
display the status of each active call.
3.3
Caller ID Support
Elite PC Assistant displays the caller ID information on all incoming calls if the
KTS is configured to support Caller ID.
3.4
User Functions
The Elite PC Assistant provides easy access to the basic call handling
functions required by any user position. These basic functions include call
answer, call hold, transfer, conference, dial, page, and park.

___________________________________________________________________________________
3.5
Active Call List
The active call list is shown by a number entry area and possible lines on hold
status indicators. A list of recently received or initiated calls are maintained in
the pull down number entry list.
3.6
Call Log
When the user clicks on the Call Log button, a separate window is displayed
with the call log information. Once the Call Log is visible, it will remain open
until the user closes that window by pressing the "X" button. New calls made
or received will be appended to the call log whether the window is visible or
hidden.
3.7
Call Recording
The Elite PC Assistant provides the ability to record both Internal and External
active calls, and save the recording as a file on the PC. This file can then be
played back within the application, or e-mailed as a .WAV file to another user.
(This option is only available when using a CTU attached to the digital
terminal).
ITH Series IP Terminals do not support CTU adapters.
3.8
Personal Greeting
The Elite PC Assistant can be setup to automatically play a personal greeting
to the caller on every incoming call. The greeting can be heard by both the
caller and user and is only played for external calls. This feature can be used
to present a professional appearance to customers by delivering an accurate
and consistent greeting with each call. (This option is only available when
using a CTU attached to a digital terminal).
ITH Series IP Terminals do not support CTU adapters.
3.9
Personal Information Manager
The Assistant has the ability to integrate with Microsoft Outlook, ACT! 2005, or
Goldmine 6.7 or higher. When enabled, an incoming number is located in the
contact database, and a screen pop will appear showing the caller's
information as maintained in the Contacts list of Outlook ACT! 2005 or
Goldmine 6.7 or higher. (This option is only available when using a CTU).
ITH Series IP Terminals do not support CTU adapters.

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Begin by installing the CTU Adapter into the multiline terminal and an AC-( )R to
provide power to the adapter. (Refer to Section 3 CTU Installation in Chapter 3 CTU
Adapter Installation for instructions for installing the CTU Adapter.)
A setup Wizard will guide you through the entire process of installing the CTU drivers,
and the NEC Elite PC Assistant Application Software. This Wizard makes installing
the drivers and Application Software more user friendly.
After the CTU Adapter has been installed, the Wizard will reboot your PC. Once your
PC has finished rebooting, the install Wizard will prompt you to continue the
installation of the Elite PC Assistant Application from the CD-ROM. Refer to Chapter
4, Elite PC Assistant Operation.
4.1
System Limitations and Installation Tips
The following lists system limitations and installation tips.
Elite PC Assistant and ACD using the MIFA( )-ETU are not supported
simultaneously from the same multiline terminal.
The CT(U)-R Unit will be required if using the voice functions associated
with the PC Assistant (Voice Recording and Personal Greeting).
Ensure that the key configuration for the user telephone specified in the
KSU matches the key configuration defined within the USB TAPI
settings.
In a CCIS network, multiple extension lengths are not supported by this
application.
When using Goldmine 6.7 or higher for the contact manager, the internal
extension number field must be set in the Phone # field, not in the Ext.
field in order for station to station calls to pop.
NEC Elite PC Assistant logs all calls, missed or answered. Missed calls
will show no duration.
Conference calls using NEC Elite PC Assistant will only show one leg of
a conference. Subsequence legs of the conference call will not be
logged.
Recording playback uses the default Windows audio playback device.
Depending on the setting in Windows Control Panel, this could be the
PC's speakers or the NEC USB phone audio device.
When using Analog trunks, the Auto Redial function will be available
based on the system configuration. This icon will not be available once
the Elapsed Call Start Talk Timer is displayed.
CTU adapters are not supported on ITH series IP Terminals.

___________________________________________________________________________________
SECTION 1
NEC IPK II TSP
TAPI is required in order to interface the IPK II with the PC Assistant. Install the NEC
IPK II TAPI on:
K
PCs that will run the CTI server - TAPI is installed as the server.
K
When the CTI server is installed on a different PC, those computers that will run
the PC Assistant software - TAPI is installed as the client.
The server must be a member on a domain or a client server on a domain. All clients
must be in the domain.
If a CTU Adapter is to be installed on any keyset which will be assigned to the PC
Assistant, the CTU driver must be installed on the PC first.
K
If the TAPI 2 has been installed prior to the CTU driver, the TAPI 2 must be
removed from the system (refer to Section 5, Uninstalling the IPK II TSP), then
install the CTU driver, followed by reinstalling the TAPI 2 driver.
K
If the CTU driver is not installed first, there could be unexpected interactions with
the PC Assistant application.

conversation. The Elite PC Assistant also maintains a Call List, which provides a

Archiving the Call Log
Regular maintenance of the Elite PC Assistant should include archiving of
the Call Log. This operation is beneficial for reducing the number of call
records displayed within the application, and therefore, improving access
when searching for individual records. The archival process also provides a
method of backing up the call history and storing the records off-line for future
access.
The archive operation saves the call history to a file using Comma Separated
Values (CSV) format. This format can be viewed using a standard text editor
or easily imported into a database or spreadsheet program. During the archive
operation, the user can specify if the recorded files are to be saved or deleted.
If the recorded files are saved, they will be compressed into a zip file, with the
same file name as the archived call records.
To archive the Call Log:
1.
From the Call Log menu, select the Archive option. This will open the
Call Log Archive menu.
Figure 4-18 Call Log Archive Screen
2.
Select the Start Date and End Date for the archive. All call log records
within this range of dates will be included in the archive and removed
from the Call Log.
3.
Select either Save in corresponding .zip to keep the recordings or
Delete Recordings to erase the recordings.
4.
Browse: to point to the directory where the archive file will be created.
5.
Enter the name of the archive after the directory name.
