Remote Phone Control

Control the desk phones and Linkus Desktop/Web Client remotely from computer systems.

What is Remote Phone Control?

Remote Phone Control is an advanced phone system feature that leverages CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) technology, enabling users to remotely manage their desk phones or desktop/web softphone clients from their computers. With this feature enabled, users can choose to use their IP phone, Linkus Desktop Client, or Linkus Web Client as the call endpoint, while using another endpoint (Linkus Desktop Client or Linkus Web Client) as the call control panel.

The Linkus Desktop and Web Client in the CTI mode can serve as the control panel to perform the following call control:

Answer & Make Calls

Add Participant

Merge Calls

Hold / Resume

Dial pad

Switch Recording Status

Call Forwarding

Call Flip

Use Case

Use Computer to Control Desk Phone

For desk phone users who wish to simplify call operations and eliminate retyping of phone number when reaching customers, Linkus Web and Desktop Client (in CTI mode) can be a valuable asset. Users can initiate calls with a simple mouse click, view missed calls on their screen, and return calls instantly. Transfers and call recordings are also easily managed through intuitive mouse clicks. Also, with all these operations achieved on their computer screen, desk phone users can enjoy the convenience without sacrificing desk phone calling experience.

With integrated features such as Yeastar Linkus Directory, Contacts, Select & Dial with Hotkey, Function Keys and Yeastar Click-to-Call Chrome extension, searching and dialing phone numbers becomes fast, easy, and error-free.

Use Remote Softphone to Control Local Softphone

Working from home? Seamlessly control calls from your company’s remote desktop interface while enjoying crystal-clear, stable audio through your local Linkus desktop or web clients.

For remote workers whose companies use virtualized remote desktops with all necessary office and business applications (like CRM, ERP, etc.), they can maintain control of calls from the remote desktop (e.g., using Linkus Web Client) while routing the audio to the local PC (e.g., using Linkus Desktop Client). This setup ensures that call audio quality is not compromised by remote desktop access, leveraging the local network of the home PC for superior call clarity, all while keeping company data secure on the company PC.
