Question categories:  Push to Talk

How do I set up an eStara Push-to-Talk web application using the Aplus.Net Control Panel?

Answer by: Frederique Taillefer, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support

Push to Talk is an HTML link embedded in your website. The HTML code is associated with the chosen destination telephone number that rings to your Call Center Agents. When a caller clicks on the button or phone number, a pop-up box is displayed instructing the caller to connect to your Call Center through one of two ways: Talk by Phone or Talk by PC.

Important: You can host the Push-to-Talk button on a website hosted with Aplus.Net only.

Here’s how:

  1. Start by logging into the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration Number and Customer Password.
  2. Next, go to Web Hosting from the top navigation bar and select Add-Ons.
  3. Click on eStara Push-to-Talk and then click on the specific button that you want to manage.
  4. Click the Generate HTML Code button. This will generate all the necessary HTML code that you will need to install the Push-to-Talk button on your site.
  • Step 1: Copy the HTML Head Code, and paste it in the code of your page, between the <head> and </head> tags.  
  • Step 2: Copy the HTML Link Code, and paste in the code of your page, anywhere between the <body> and </body> tags. (NOTE: the position of the Push-to-Talk button on your site will depend on where you paste the code).
  1. There are 2 optional steps that you can take to customize your Push-to-Talk button:
  • Step 3: If you want a specific text to be displayed when the user hold the mouse over your Push-to-Talk image, type the text in the Set an Alternate Text for the Image text box, and then click Set.
  • Step 4: If you want a specific image to be displayed instead of the default one that Aplus.Net provides you with, enter the image path in the last text box, and then click Set. (NOTE: make sure you also upload that image in your Webspace).
Your Push-to-Talk button is now installed.
