TAPI Line Configuration
| In first step you have to configure the Asterisk Server parameters.
TAPI Line Configuration - Device Parameter
Now you have to enter the parameters in section "Asterisk TAPI Device". The dialog image shows an example for a SIP phone with extension "201". Channel: The channel for your extension; Examples: SIP/200, Zap/g1/11, Zap/1 Your phone number: This is used as "callerID" and optionally for call detection. Use this extension number for call detection too: This option may help to assing calls to your ZAP-channel. Default: Off Special Device: "default" means no special device. If you use one of the listed phones, you can select this. Then the dial commands (phone numbers) are sent directly to the phone. In the other case your phone would be called always locally by the Asterisk PBX. Your name: The calls are signalled with this name to the called party. Context: Context for "Originate" and other commands like "Redirect". A Context is a section in extensions.conf. Use other Cannel: You can use this option then call setup (originate) needs to be executed to another channel. Default: Off Write Log file: All commands sent to the manager interface and all received events are logged in file ast.log. This log file may help to handle problems in call detection. Default: Off
If these settings are done the TAPI driver should work now.
