Note: Any reference in the manual that indicates a feature is only available for Phone Manager Pro then the feature is also available for Phone Manager PC Softphone. Throughout the manual any reference to Phone Manager Pro includes Phone Manager PC Softphone.
Phone Manager Lite:
Phone Manager Lite requires no license key on the PBX to operate. It will allow employees to take control of their phone calls from their PC. To see the features that are available, please refer to the comparison table.

Phone Manager Users Guide
Script
Phone Manager Pro only. The Script tab will appear when a Directory Entry matching the called number has a Script file configured.
For example, a Receptionist may be answering calls on behalf of more than one company. To ensure the call is answered with the correct company name a text file could be created with the company name and details. Phone Manager Pro can then be configured to display this text file whenever a call is received for that company.
1.Create a Directory Entry for the extension or Hunt Group that will receive the call. Enter the path to the text file in the Script File field.
2.When a call is received on this number the Script tab will appear in the Call History pane and the text file will be displayed.
Note: The Status tab will automatically come to the front 15 seconds after displaying the Script tab. If you want the script to remain in view, uncheck the Show Status option in the Phone Manager settings.
Status
Phone Manager Pro only. The Status tab appears when you are on a call. It contains a call timer. It can also contain call cost information if setup by your System Administrator.
If working in Agent Mode, the Status tab also appears when you go into Busy Wrap Up or Busy Not Available state.
Whether the Status tab comes to the front when active is controlled by the Show Status option in the Phone Manager settings. Note that for incoming calls, if a Script file has been configured, the Script tab will show for the first 15 seconds after connection.
Phone Manager
Call Park Area
It is sometimes necessary to temporarily "park" a call to handle some other task (receive a new call) or deal with an interruption. To help you control this scenario efficiently the main system has four parking areas. These are available for use by all Users on the system. The park areas use Park ID 1, 2, 3 and 4.
For example when an incoming caller needs to speak to someone urgently but they cannot be found, the call could be parked in slot "1" and the specific user paged to pickup the call on "1". This user can then pick up the call via Phone Manager Pro or via a short code (for example *38*1#) from any extension.
The Call Park Area gives a Park button for each Park ID so that a call can be easily parked and unparked by clicking on the relevant Park button. This has the added benefit that the original User who handled the call can then see when the call has been picked up as it will disappear from the Park button.
Park a Call
To park a call click on the Park button required, click it again to pick up the call. While a call is parked it will display the Tag field or, if not available, will show the source number of the call.
Tag a Parked Call
A Tag can be used to identify a parked call with a text description
1.Before parking the call, right click on the Park button required.
2.Enter the description in the Call Tag Form.
3.The call will be parked and the description will appear on the Park button.

Using Account Codes
Using Account Codes
Account Codes allow your System Administrator to track calls to specific external numbers. For example, a solicitor's office may wish to record the amount of time spent on calls to a client for billing purposes. Each client is given an Account Code and that code is used when making a call.
A key feature of Phone Manager is that it allows the use of text account codes rather than just numbers.
Account codes entered with calls are only recorded by the system if they match an account code already configure on the system. Please refer to your System Administrator for a list of valid Account Codes.
To Make a Call Using an Account Code
1.From the Function menu select Account Code, or press F3
2.In the Account Code box enter the appropriate code.
To Assign an Account Code to a Call in Progress
1.To assign an Account Code to a call already in progress, select Account Code from the Functions menu or press F3.
2.Enter the appropriate Account Code in the dialogue box.
Account Code Required
If you receive the following message each time you make an outgoing call without an Account Code, then your User account has been configured to ensure you always assign an Account Code to an outgoing call - for further information please refer to your System Administrator.
Using an Account Code Once a Call is in Progress
1.From the Functions menu select Account Code
2.Enter the code to be assigned to this call in the Account Code box (please refer to your System Administrator for a list of valid Account Codes).
System Administration
Hints & Tips for System Administrators
1.When completing the PBX Configuration Information dialogue box a broadcast address, eg. 255.255.255.255, can not be used for the PBX Address.
2.The Call History tabs each display information on a maximum of 100 calls. The oldest record is then replaced.
3.Park ID's can contain a maximum 9 characters.
4.If a particular feature does not appear to work, try closing and opening Phone Manager Pro. All configuration changes are saved when the application is closed. Phone Manager Pro will then look for all configuration on start up.
5.In order for the Busy Lamp Field feature of a Speed Dials to operate the PC running Phone Manager Pro must be connected to same physical LAN as the main system. This implementation provides resilient synchronized updates and greatly reduces the LAN performance requirements.
6.When Show Users is checked in the Call dialogue box this will give a list of Users configured on the PBX. If an entry has been made in the User's Full Name field this will be displayed in preference to the User Name. If particular Users are not to appear in this list select the "Ex
