Connection Point Services (CPS) provides you with a central location for adding, removing, and distributing network access numbers. Connection Point Services is responsible for automatically checking the employee’s current phone book and, if necessary, downloading phone book updates. In addition, CPS provides the functionality to easily merge a corporate phone book of access numbers with one or more phone books from an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Connection Point Services is composed of Phone Book Service and Phone Book Administration. You can use these components to accomplish the following:
You can use Phone Book Administrator to populate a new phone book or edit an existing one. You can use the administration tool interface to create and maintain the phone book database and post the new phone book information to the Phone Book Service.
Phone Book Service compares the phone book information on the employee’s computer with the most recent files available in the Connection Point Services database. If there is updated phone book information, Phone Book Service downloads the information to the employee’s computer. CPS ensures that the employee has the most up-to-date directory of access numbers.
