Introduction 
 

1.1  

General 
 
The product HiPath TAPI 120 V2.0 consists of the following software components:
 •   HiPath TAPI 120 TAPI Service Provider (TSP)
HiPath TAPI 120 TSP is a first party telephony provider software based on MS Windows TAPI functionality and is always deployed on client PCs.
HiPath TAPI 120 TSP enables TAPI-based applications to have the control and status / presence display of telephones connected to a communication system. To enable this, HiPath TAPI 120 communicates with the communication system directly via LAN and CSTA III protocols.
 •   CSTA Message Dispatcher CMD
Per client, HiPath TAPI 120 occupies one CSTA link on the communication system. If there are insufficient CSTA links on a communication system to connect all clients, you can use CSTA Message Dispatcher (CMD) component. The CMD SW-component merges the CSTA links of multiple TAPI 120 TSP applications on one CSTA link on the communication system.

Documentation  
 •   To improve readability, "telecommunications system(s)" has been abbreviated to "communication system(s)" or "system(s)" in this document.
 •   The product name HiPath TAPI 120 V2.0 has also been abbreviated to TAPI 120 for the same reason.
 •   All described operation sequences and dialogs refer to older Windows versions, e.g. Windows XP. With using newer Windows versions you have to activate the functions accordingly.
