Toshiba Strata Dk Pc Digital Telephone User Guide

							The Grand Tour1
The Grand Tour1
Using Windows, the PC Digital Telephone (PC-DKT) application functions as an 
independent telephone. The PC-DKT enables you to make and receive calls using the 
Windows Virtual Telephone Display on your PC screen, using your PC’s mouse and/
or keyboard. A Toshiba digital desk telephone can be connected for backup or for 
speakerphone use. It’s automatically activated when you close the PC-DKT 
application or when your computer is turned off.
The PC-DKT software runs in the background while you work on other Windows 
applications. You can set it to appear when calls arrive and when you want to make a 
call, or keep it displayed on top of all active applications. You can also use the
PC-DKT with a Toshiba Cordless Digital Telephone and switch between them at the 
touch of a button - even during a call.
The PC-DKT provides all the features of a Toshiba LCD Digital Telephone while 
giving you these advanced features:
StrataBase directorystores frequently-called numbers and other contact 
information. Speed-dial directly from the database, and easily find specific 
information with the Search feature.
Call loggingtracks time, date, duration, destination, and Caller ID of all incoming 
and outgoing calls. Besides being a record of your calls, it enables you to search for a 
caller who isn’t in your StrataBase and return a call by simply clicking on a button.
Voice mail accesspanel lets you conveniently operate voice mail with user-definable 
buttons on screen.
