  • Administrator password is required to perform software installation on any Windows operating systems

 

2. TAPI/TSP Requirements 

(Below is not applicable for a Lab Test installs with "virtual PBX" service simulating the PABX connection)

The TSP driver is used by TAPI to allow the communication between the server and the PBX.

We need to test that the TAPI device is working correctly.

==> There is a free program called TAPI Soft Phone that allows you to monitor / control telephony devices through TAPI in a similar fashion to CyDesk.

The application is downloadable from the following link:

==> Run a few checks to confirm telephony is working correctly

  • Ensure all TAPI devices are listed.

  • Start a session on the nearest extension and ensure control can be achieved.

  • Lift handset and view the devices changed status, make a call, hang-up a call etc.
