FAQ
• Is the CSTA license per user or per connection ?
– Each MOC controlling a ShoreTel Phone will require a CSTA license for establishing
the CSTA connection.
• So what do I need to order for this Solution ?
– ShoreWare CSTA server CD & CSTA licenses
– A shoreWare TAPI licence or DVM licence if one such server is not already in place
– Implementation services SOW + quote if/when required
• What About the IBM integration I heard of ?
– The upcoming IBM Sametime integration leverages ShoreWare CSTA as well but
requires supplementary pieces of Software on the IBM infrastructure which will be
released at a later stage.
• Can I use MOC as a softphone with CSTA ?
– No – the integration using CSTA is purely CTI & does not enable the MOC to place
voice call thru the ShoreTel system.
