HiPath 1100 Applications

Aspects to Consider:
The HiPath 1100 Version 6.0 application installation overwrites HiPath 1100 Version
5.2 installation. During installation no message is displayed to warn the user that
HiPath 1100 Version 5.2 applications are being removed
Both versions are supported; a HiPath 1100 HiPath Version 5.2 PABX can be
managed using HiPath 1100 HiPath Version 6.0;
HiPath 1100 Version 5.2 and HiPath 1100 Version 6.0 cannot both be installed in
the same computer. Otherwise, neither will work.

CTI Functionality

When the system is connected to a computer, system features can be executed from the PC.
The functionality provided by the connection between a telephone system and a PC is known
as CTI (Computer Telephony Integration).
For example, CTI functionality and other compatible MS-TAPI applications can be enabled by
TAPI (Telephony Applications Programming Interface) drivers. TAPI drivers provide an interface
between a Windows operating system and a TAPI-compatible telephone system. If a previous
version TAPI driver (ESL or HiPath 1100) is already installed you will need to update it to the
HiPath 1100 V6.0 TAPI driver.
TAPI only monitors physical ports. To operate correctly, a DISA feature must use
special ports, and those cannot be monitored. If a physical port is used when the
DISA feature is active, the TAPI will be able to monitor it.
If the system is connected to a PC running as a LAN server, all network clients will also have
CTI capability available.
Comm Server:
This is an application that receives data from the system through a serial port and then
distributes the data to different applications.
