In order to use end devices set up in ProCall Voice Services with estos ProCall, the ECSTA for SIP phones is required.

The estos ECSTA for SIP phones consists of two components:

uaCSTA Server for SIP Phones

  • This is where the end devices log in.
  • The uaCSTA server records the statuses of the end devices and makes them available to the ECSTA for SIP phones or transmits the inputs from the ECSTA to the end devices.

ECSTA for SIP phones

  • establishes the connection between uaCSTA server and UCServer.
  • provides the TAPI for the UCServer to control the end devices.

Both components can be installed on the same computer as the estos UCServer.

The ECSTA for SIP phones must be installed on the same computer as the estos UCServer. Optionally, the uaCSTA Server for SIP phones can be installed on a different computer.

Installation

The installation of ECSTA for SIP phones should be fully completed before you set up the end devices in ProCall Voice Services.

Install the uaCSTA server according to estos uaCSTA Server for SIP Phones

Please note that the uaCSTA server must also be accessible for end devices that may be located outside your network. The uaCSTA server does not require a connection to the telephone system, as it is a completely independent system.
