Abstract:
A device for managing calls sent by a local terminal (T1-T5) includes: an interface (11-15) for communication with each of said local terminals (T1-T5) communications client modules (CL2-CL5) each able to set up a communications link of a communications service with a distant terminal (T6-T10) via a communications network; and routing means (18) for selecting, should one of the communications client modules receive an incoming call from a distant sending terminal, a local terminal able to receive said call and to redirect said call to the communications interface with the selected local terminal in order to set up a communications link between said distant sending terminal and the selected local terminal via the communications client module receiving the call.
