Overview

HAPTER

About MaxOutlook

MaxOutlook is a version of AltiGen’s MaxCommunicator call management

software. MaxOutlook is integrated into Microsoft Outlook (Outlook 2007 or

2010). It runs with MAX Communication Server ACC or ACM 6.7 or later

systems. MaxOutlook users can access, configure, and perform several of

the system’s PBX functions directly from within Outlook, including call

handling, call forwarding, voice messaging, extension monitoring,

conferencing, and One Number Access.

Like MaxCommunicator, MaxOutlook allows you to obtain phone numbers

to dial from a Microsoft Outlook Contact list. MaxOutlook also lets you see

the incoming calls that have a matching record in the Contact list. You must

set up the Outlook Contacts list prior to using this feature.

Note: Unlike MaxCommunicator, MaxOutlook does not support Outlook

Express, ACT! or GoldMine® contact management

Licensing

The following AltiGen licenses are required:

•MaxOutlook requires a MaxCommunicator seat license for each user,

or a MaxCommunicator session license.

•The IPTalk feature requires an IPTalk license for each user, or an

IPTalk session license.

•MaxCall requires a MaxCall seat license for each user or a MaxCall

session license.

A system administrator can assign and verify seat licenses in

MaxAdministrator by selecting License > Client SEAT License

Management from the main menu.

Limitations

•After installing MaxOutlook, launch Outlook right away to enable

MaxOutlook, otherwise MaxOutlook might not load. MaxAgent and/or

MaxCommunicator must not be running while you do this.

2MaxOutlook Manual

•If you also use MaxCommunicator and/or MaxAgent, and Outlook

integration is enabled in those programs (in their Configuration >

Integration screen), always open Outlook first, before opening

MaxCommunicator or MaxAgent. Otherwise MaxOutlook may not load.

For example, suppose you don’t want to run Outlook in a given

session or period of time but you do open MaxCommunicator

and/or MaxAgent, and then later you need Outlook. Before

opening Outlook, you must close MaxCommunicator and

MaxAgent completely, or MaxOutlook may not load. After

Outlook is open, you may again open MaxAgent or

MaxCommunicator.
