IVX S-Class Installation Manual
Installing the TAPI Phone
Important: To install the TAPI drivers to a PC with Windows NT 4.0 where Service Pack 3 (or greater) hasn't been
installed, please obtain the latest Service Pack — currently, Service Pack 6a, or "SP6a" — from the
following link and install it before continuing:
http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/recommended/SP6 /
Requirements
To perform this installation, you will need:
• A TAPI Phone (48-Key Digital Feature Phone with TAPI interface).
• A PC that's running Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 or XP and has an unused COM (serial) port.
• TAPI cable and adapter (shipped with each TAPI Phone).
Also, if Caller ID integration is desired, you should confirm that (a) Caller ID is enabled on the IVX S-Class
phone system and (b) the telephone company is providing Caller ID service.
Procedure
Note: If using the Technical Resource Guide CD-ROM, proceed to Step 1. Otherwise, skip to Step 2.
1. Insert the CD-ROM into the PC's CD-ROM drive; then browse to the CD-ROM drive and locate the
Esiivx.exe file. (Depending on your settings, the file may appear as just Esiivx.
2. Use your Web browser to reach http://www.esiresellers.com/software.html. (You'll need your ESI
Resellers' site password, which is different from your Tech Support password.)
3. To download the software, scroll to and then click on the link to the TAPI 2000 software listed as
"IVX TAPI Phones, both current and legacy."
4. When prompted, select a folder in which to save the software. (We suggest C:\Windows\Temp.)
5. The software is a self-extracting installer. To launch the
installation process, browse to the Esiivx.exe file and
double-click on it.
6. If asked whether you wish to continue, click Yes.
Then, follow the instructions that appear.
7. At the end of the installation, you'll be prompted
whether you wish to restart the PC. Click Finish.
8. As the PC restarts, a window will appear asking you to
select the COM (serial) port that will be used for TAPI
activity. Select the appropriate port and click OK.
9. Connect one end of the provided serial cable to the PC
serial port selected in Step 8. Connect the other end to
the bottom of the TAPI Phone (see diagram, right).
You have now successfully installed the TAPI 2000 Windows telephony driver. Continue to the next
page to test the operation of the TAPI interface.

If the PC has a 25-pin serial connector, you'll need to obtain a DB9-male-to-DB25-female adapter (such as Radio Shack
model # 26-287).
