Setting Up Tapi - Aastra OpenCom 100 Mounting And Commissioning User Manual

Configuring the PC Software
■
If there is an existing web-server service installed on the workstation computer,
then you must enter a new port number in the Setup dialogue of the pro-
gramme StartCenter, for example 8080. In the Web browser, the address line
input is then: "http://localhost:8080/". When using different port numbers you
can also start multiple offline configurators simultaneously on one workstation
computer.
■
If for the Web browser there is a proxy activated, then you might have to enter
the computer name "localhost" into the exceptions list (No proxy for ...).
■
During deinstallation of the programme StartCenter, the entire installation
directory with all its sub-directories is deleted. Backup the necessary offline
configurators before uninstalling.

Setting up TAPI

With a TAPI (Telephony Application Programming Interface) you can operate a CTI
application (Computer Telephony Integration). Here, the CTI application uses the
services of the OpenCom 100 with the help of the TAPI driver installed on a
Windows PC.
Many telephony functions, such as enquiry, toggling, three-party conference, pick-
up, call protection and call forwarding can be controlled using appropriate TAPI-
compatible software.
Requirements
You require an active IP network connection between the PC and the communica-
tions system. CTI functions can be used only in conjunction with system terminals.
You must therefore have configured at least one user for a system terminal. In
addition, you require a TAPI 2.1-compatible CTI application, for example the
Phone Dialer included in the Windows operating system.
Installing the TAPI Driver
1. Call up the start mask from the product CD (see Configuring the PC Software on
page 208).
2. Select Software: Install TAPI Service Provider from the start mask.
3. Follow the programme instructions.
