CSTA Computer Suported Telecommunications Applications CSTA is an OSI layer 7 protocol which is defined to communicate a Computer Network with a Telecommunications Network.
CSTAWho defines it? ECMA is the international standards organization responsible for developing the CSTA Standard. Task Group 11 is the specific working group focused on CSTA. CSTA is also an ISO/IEC Standard
CTI Overview
CTIDefinition PBX providing Telephony Information to Computer Application Computer Application controlling PBX CTI
CTIDefinition • CTI is the science of adding computer intelligence to the making and receiving of phone calls (Harry Newton - CT Magazine) • CTI combines the computer´s information management strength with the telephone´s communicating power (Mitel White Paper) • CTI is the technique of coordinating the actions of telephone and computer systems (Carl R. Strathmeyer - Dialogic Corporation)
CTIFirst Party vs. Third Party CTI Application First Party Call Control - CTI application has the ability to control/monitor a single device. Third Party Call Control - CTI application has the ability to control/monitor more than one device. CTI Application

CTIAPI vs. Protocol • Protocol - specific set of rules, procedures or conventions relating to format and timing of data transmission between two devices • API - software that an application program uses to request and carry out lower-level services performed by the computer’s or a telephone’s operating system.
CTIProtocols/API´s • CSTA - protocol from ECMA • TAPI - API from Microsoft • JTAPI - API from Sun

CSTA ASN.1 Protocol CSTA Protocol (ECMA-285) is based on ASN.1, a notation standardized by ITU-T that defines an abstract syntax for a protocol. • ASN.1 - Abstract Syntax Notation One ITU-T X.680 - Basic Notation ITU-T X.690 - Encoding Rules
CSTA XML Protocol CSTA XML Protocol (ECMA-323) - Set of XML Schemas. Uses the following W3C technologies: • XML 1.0 • XML Schema Definition • SOAP - Simple Object Access Protocol
CSTA Versions • Phase I - Services (ECMA-179) and Protocol (ECMA-180). June 1992. • Phase II - Service (ECMA-217), Protocol (ECMA-218) and Technical Report TR/68. Some services added to Phase I. Dec. 1994. • Phase III - Service (ECMA-269&ISO 18051) and ASN.1 Protocol (ECMA-285&ISO 18052), Glossary of Definition and Terminology (TR/72&ISO 18053), Scenarios (ECMA TR/82), Migrating to CSTA Phase III (ECMA TR/80), and XML Protocol (ECMA-323).
