Add a CTI Route Point
----------------------

This procedure adds a CTI route point.


A computer telephony integration (CTI) route point designates a virtual device
that can receive multiple, simultaneous calls for application-controlled redirection.

**Perform these steps**:

1. Log in as provider, reseller, or customer administrator.
2. Set the hierarchy path to the site for which you want to configure CTI
   Route Points.

3. Navigate to the **CTI Route Points** page:

   * If you're logged in as provider or reseller administrator, choose
     **Apps Management > CUCM > CTI Route Points**.
   * If you're logged in as customer administrator, choose
     **Apps Management > Advanced > CTI Route Points**.

4. Click **Add**.
5. Complete at minimum, the mandatory :ref:`cti_route_points_fields`.
6. Click + next to **Line**, to associate a line with the CTI Route Point.
   Complete, at minimum, the mandatory :ref:`cti_route_points_line_fields`.
7. Click **Save**.
