Introduction
Overview
The IP Office CTI Link is available in Lite and Pro versions, which provide run-time
interfaces for applications to use. The Software Development Kit (SDK) provides
documentation on both Lite and Pro interfaces for software developers.
Both the Lite and Pro offerings are the same program. The additional functionality
provided by IP Office CTI Link Pro is enabled when the CTI Link Pro licence key is
installed (see page 6).
IP Office CTI Link Lite
IP Office CTI Link Lite is a free of charge offering, and contains the following
component:
• TAPILink Lite
This component implements Microsoft TAPI, and allows programs to control
one telephone line per PC. It provides simple CTI, including answer, hangup,
make-call, transfer, and screen-popping functionality. Please see the TAPILink
Developers Guide for more details on TAPILink Lite and TAPILink Pro.
IP Office CTI Link Pro
IP Office CTI Link Pro includes all of the Lite functionality. It contains the following
components:
• TAPILink Pro
This component provides both first-party and third-party TAPI control of
telephony devices. In addition to the functionality provided by TAPILink Lite, it
also adds the ability to receive information on ACD queues, hunt groups, and
provides additional advanced functionality. Please see the TAPILink
Developers Guide for more details on TAPILink Lite and TAPILink Pro.
• DevLink Pro
This component provides a real-time event stream. The real-time event stream
provides information on telephone activity as and when that activity occurs, and
also provides information on trunk activity.

Installing the Wave Driver
The IP400 wave driver is called “nawave32.drv”. It is in the “wave32” directory on
the User CD. It is a 32bit WAVE driver, and therefore only works on Windows NT
and Windows 2000. Windows XP is not yet supported.
It is not plug-and-play as there is not actually any hardware associated. It is a soft
emulation. You therefore need to install it manually.
Windows 2000
In the control panel select Add/Remove Hardware. You have to wait for your PC to
do a Search for new Devices, which takes about 30 seconds, and does not actually
achieve anything.
Select “Add New Device”, then “No I want to select hardware from a list”, then
“Sound, video and game controllers”. Press the “Have Disk” button. Navigate to the
“wave32” directory on the CDROM. Select the oemsetup.inf file.
Once the wave driver is installed, you must ensure that it is only used by TAPI!
Otherwise, the system will start using it inappropriately, like playing “ding.wav” when
you receive e-mail. This will cause problems.
From the Control Panel, Select “Sounds and Multimedia”. Ensure that no preferred
devices use the WIDWOD32 driver.
This is not sufficient on it’s own, however. You need to prevent its use explicitly.
Go to: “Sounds and Multimedia Properties/Hardware/IP400 32 bit WIDWOD
Driver/ Properties/Properties”
Check the box labelled “Do not map through this device”.
Windows NT4
In the Control Panel select Multimedia/Devices/Audio Devices. Press Add. Select
Unlisted or Updated Driver. Browse to the “wave32” directory on the User CD.
Press OK to add the “IP400 32 bit WIDWOD driver”.
Once the wave driver is installed, you must ensure that it is only used by TAPI!
Otherwise, the system will start using it inappropriately, like playing “ding.wav” when
you receive e-mail. This will cause problems.
From the Control Panel, Select “Multimedia”. Ensure that no preferred devices use
the WIDWOD32 driver.
This is not sufficient on it’s own, however. You need to prevent its use explicitly.
Go to: “Multimedia/Devices/Audio Devices/Audio for IP400 32 bit WIDWOD
driver /Properties”
Check the box labelled “Do not map through this device”.

Installing the CTI TAPILink Pro and Wave Licenses
You do not need a license in order to use the TAPI driver, but the license provides
the following additional functionality:
• Third Party mode
• ACD Queue monitoring
• lineDevSpecific function enabled
These are described in “Configuring the TAPI Driver” on page 7.
In addition, to use the Wave functionality you need to install a Wave User’s Licence
for each Wave user.
To install the TAPI licenses, proceed as follows:
1.
Run the IP Office Manager. This is installed from the IP Office Admin CD.
2.
Load the configuration file for your IP Office.
3.
Select License on the tree in the left hand window.
4.
Right-click in the right hand window and select New.
5.
Type in the 32 character license key.
6.
The IP Office Manager will indicate whether the license is valid or not.

Configuring the TAPI Driver
TAPI Service Providers are configured using a Windows Control Panel applet. The
name of the applet is not the same across all versions of Windows. The following
table indicates the name of the applet and the tab that must be selected within the
applet:

Note: TAPI 2.1 must be installed on Windows 95. After
installing IP Office TAPI, TAPI 2.1 installation,
tapi2195.exe, can be found in the IP Office
installation directory, e.g. Program File/Avaya/IP
Office/TAPI/Win95.
Telephony Drivers
Run the appropriate applet for your version of Windows and select the tab indicated
above. You will be presented with the list of TAPI Service Providers that you have
installed. The IP Office TAPI Service Provider will be in the list of installed TAPI
Service Providers. Select Avaya IP Office TAPI Service Provider and press
Configure. You will be presented with the Avaya TAPI Configuration menu
screen.
The IP Office TAPI Service Provider can operate in Single User mode or Third Party
mode. A license must be purchased to enable the Third Party mode. Note that the
unlicensed version will not prevent you from selecting this option but it will not work.
Single User mode means that the TAPI application can control and/or monitor a
single telephony device. Third Party mode means that the TAPI application can
control and/or monitor all telephony devices on a particular IP Office unit.
Note that on some versions of Windows it will be necessary to reboot the PC (or just
restart the telephony service) in order for configuration changes to take effect.

Installation and Configuration
Single User Mode
Enter the IP address of the IP Office unit in the box labelled Switch IP Address.
Select the Single User option. Enter the user name and password for the extension
that is to be monitored and/or controlled by TAPI. Normally, the user name will be
the name of a person associated with a physical telephone extension.
Third Party Mode
Enter the IP address of the IP Office unit in the box labelled Switch IP Address.
Select the Third Party option. Enter the password for the switch. This is the same
password that is entered in Manager when loading the configuration of the switch.
By default, Third Party mode will provide a TAPI line for every physical extension
attached to the IP Office. The checkboxes associated with Third Party mode enable
additional entities to be monitored and/or controlled by TAPI.
WAV Users
If you are using the Wave Driver in Third Party mode then you will need to check the
WAV User checkbox to provide access to the TAPI lines associated with WAV
Users.
ACD Queues
The IP Office can be configured to queue incoming calls that are being presented to
a group of internal users. For example, if your IP Office was configured with a group
of call center agents, you would want to queue an incoming call until an agent
becomes available to take the call.
Checking the ACD Queues checkbox provides lines to monitor and/or control the
queue of calls against a group.
Configuring IP Office for TAPI
This section describes the configuration of the IP Office using the Manager
application. There are two ways in which you can use TAPI with IP:
1.
If your application monitors telephones but does not control them, then there is
no configuration necessary.
2.
If your application controls telephones, you should configure all users that will
be controlled as an off-hook station. This will cause the user’s phone to return
to the idle state when a call is hung up using TAPI. Without this option set, the
phone will remain in a disconnected state until the phone is hung up manually.
The off-hook station checkbox can be found on the Telephony tab of the User’s
setting in Manager.
