Basics about working in Light mode

In situations where, for various reasons, you do not have a telephony connection between the computer and the telephone, you can still use ACE Agent or ACE Interact together with a stationary or mobile telephone. This is known as using the application in Light Mode.

When you log in, ACE detects whether you are using server based CTI, or that TAPI is installed on your computer. See If not, the application is started in Light Mode.

You can choose to always start the application in Light Mode by configuring Light Mode as a telephony connection. You do this either in ACE Configuration Utility or centrally.

Which functions are used in Light Mode

When you use the application in Light Mode, you can have calls routed to you but you cannot carry out any telephony functions on the computer. Calls are handled through your telephone.

Because you are using a separate telephone, the application's telephony functions are unavailable, such as

  • Make call
  • Mute
  • Enquiry
  • DTMF
