Patent number: 6563814Abstract: A digital switchboard is controlled from a remote station to enable the remote station to behave in the same fashion as a local extension and thus have the same facilities as a local extension. This is achieved using a data communications path providing control and data signals to the switchboard to modify the operation of a digital line card to cause a voice terminal at the remote station to be called from the modified line card which then is available to become part of any voice traffic being handled by the switchboard. A computer terminal at the remote station operates as a softphone and together with the voice terminal simulates a call center management console.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 1998Date of Patent: May 13, 2003Assignee: Northern Telecom LimitedInventors: Ray Rowan, Barry O'Sullivan, Barry McGuire
