Asterisk™ PBX
Asterisk is Open Source software with which you could turn a normal PC into a VoIP PBX. By the installation of special ISDN cards or analogous adaptors you can also connect ISDN and analogous phones beside SIP-capable phones. Because the installation and configuration of an Asterisk PBX is not easy, some system providers offer preconfigured systems.

Asterisk and TAPI
For Asterisk a free TAPI driver "AstTapi" is offered. However, with the version from July, 2005 there are problems with the caller ID detection. That's why an own driver for Asterisk was integrated in xtelsio CTI Client.
xtelsio Asterisk Driver (Connector)
By default the xtelsio Asterisk driver can control and monitor up to 5 lines of an Asterisk PBX. The driver supports dialing and hanging up and signals incoming and outgoing calls including caller ID. For snom phones, you can activate a direct control mode - this allows to initiate calls in hands-free mode and to accept incoming calls. Experimentally supported functions: TSPI_lineSetupTransfer TSPI_lineCompleteTransfer TSPI_lineHold For configuration of an Asterisk line, see: [Options > TAPI devices > Add > VoIP > Asterisk Line X] Hint: The Asterisk driver is loaded directly by the Client, it is no real TAPI driver integrated in the Windows system. You can use the Asterisk driver, however, also from other TAPI capable applications, while you use the TAPI Connector. Select in the other TAPI application simply the "CTI Client TAPI-Connector" for TAPI driver. The Connector passes on all TAPI commands to the first device configured in xtelsio CTI Client. Dialing a phone number: If you dial a phone number, your phone is called first and as soon as you picked up the receiver the real destination number is dialed. Configuration: If you want to control more then 5 lines, a configuration file must be edited manually. This concerns the file "XTELSIO_WORKING_DIRECTORY\local_profiles\IHR_RECHNERNAME\ast_lines.ini" First close the application and then add under [Lines] further rows in the given format. Hint: You can open the working directory simply via: [Menu > ? > Open Working Directory].
