Using Desktop Link (For Running Quantum VS With VECTA)

If you wish to use the Call Manager features in both Quantum VS and VECTA - EDP's web-based sales intelligence application - you will need to install and run Desktop Link.

 

Desktop Link is an additional desktop application which handles information being passed from your telephony system when you are using VECTA on its own or together with Quantum VS.

 

Note: TAPI must also be present - plus additional TSP software if required - to pass information from your telephony system into the Call Manager screen if you are using both Quantum VS and VECTA. See Setting Up Call Manager.
