CTI programming manual

General

Function set

In addition to telephony functions, TAPIMaster® also offers numerous ways to enhance your programs with functions useful when working in groups. A few basic functions are all that is needed for the first steps.

Interfaces

TAPIMaster® has client-side and server-side interfaces. One DLL is provided for ActiveX and one for normal API access. Programming with ActiveX is simpler; with the API functions, it is possible to start applications without registering components or, where applicable, installing the client. TAPIMaster® relieves you of network programming tasks necessary for a third party telephony solution. Only the client-side programming interface is present in the single-workstation version. The function set is in this case limited according to the system.

Licences

TAPIMaster® allows you to use up to four of the standard clients delivered in the installation package. One of these five clients may also be a connection to a program developed by someone else. If you wish to connect more than one of your own software clients, you will require a licence. No licence is required for the single-workstation version.

Effort

A basic connection to the CTI interface can be developed in a few hours. Almost all the example programs were developed within one working day. Use the CTI Browser to test functions without having to write any code.
