Screen Pop
Screen pop occurs when a CTI application takes inside or outside caller
information, queries a database, and displays caller information on a user’s PC
screen. Screen pop requires that an identifying number or code be available to
identify the outside calling party. This number may be a telephone number
provided by Caller ID, ANI, or another network service.
Screen pop can also occur when the caller enters an identifying code after
connecting to a voice-response unit in the system. The voice-response unit
(MERLIN LEGEND Mail for example) may prompt the caller to dial a social
security number, account number, customer number, or other database index
code. These
collected digits
are used to initiate screen pop of database
information. For more information, see the next topic, “Collected Digits.”
Screen pop can occur on incoming voice calls from the following sources:
■ Calling group distribution
■ ISDN PRI routing by dial plan
■ An extension on the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System
■ Remote access
