CSTA stands for '''C'''omputer '''S'''upported '''T'''elecommunications '''A'''pplications. It is an abstraction layer for telecommunications applications.<br>

VTX operates a CSTA Gateway following the [http://www.ecma-international.org/activities/Communications/TG11/cstaIII.htm CSTA III Standard] which means, that if a customer operates a CSTA compatible CRM and a VTX VirtualPBX (vPBX), customer CRM can control the vPBX remotly (standard features as Make Call, Answer, Clear Connections and more).
Below you will find the needed requirements to use '''VTX CSTA''' service


*A VTX '''Virtual PBX''' service to provide you phone + numbers + a lot of features. Only the VTX VPBX service is compatible with the CSTA feature.
== How does CSTA works ==
*A VTX '''CSTA license''' for each phone number you wish to control from your CRM/ERP (contact your VTX commercial contact to get a Demo one)
# VTX operates a CSTA Gateway connected to VTX VoIP platform
*A '''CSTA GW''' provided by VTX (automatically created and accessible from Kiosk when having CSTA license), which grants control access of the VTX Virtual PBX
# VTX provides a CSTA Gateway Account linked to a VTX VirtualPBX (vPBX)
*A '''CSTA Client''' like '''estos ECSTA (connector) for Teles Voice Application Server''' which creates a centralized Windows TAPI driver to control all the phones and numbers. CSTA is a standard, so if you use another client, it needs to be compatible with [https://www.ecma-international.org/publications-and-standards/technical-reports/ Computer Supported Telecommunication Applications (CSTA)]
# Customer IT operates a CSTA Client connector like [https://www.estos.com/products/ecsta-series/ecsta-for-teles-voice-application-server ECSTA for Communi5 Voice Application Server] that is able to connect to the VTX CSTA Gateway
*A '''CRM or ERP''' that is able to use the Centralized TAPI Driver created by the CSTA Client ( like Procall. '''FIXME: add a table of all compatible tested CRM here''' )
# Customer CRM/ERP uses the "CSTA Client connector" to remotely control and manage phones
*A '''CRM Client''' that will be able to benefit from all telephony features of his CRM (customer data popup on incoming call, click to call, transfer, stats, ...)
# Customer defines which SIP account and CPE can be managed by the CSTA

CSTA stands for Computer Supported Telecommunications Applications. It is an abstraction layer for telecommunications applications.
VTX operates a CSTA Gateway following the CSTA III Standard which means, that if a customer operates a TAPI compatible CRM and a VTX Virtual PBX (vPBX), customer CRM can control the vPBX remotely (standard features as Make Call, Answer, Clear Connections and more).

  • A CSTA Client like estos ECSTA (connector) for Teles Voice Application Server which creates a centralized Windows TAPI driver to control all the phones and numbers. CSTA is a standard, so if you use another client, it needs to be compatible with Computer Supported Telecommunication Applications (CSTA)
