CapiSuite is a daemon (a program that runs in the background) that provides
basic telecommunication functions. The current version mainly offers functions

basic telecommunication functions. The current version mainly offers functions
for telephone and fax connections.
For example, the system supports the establishment and termination of incoming
and outgoing fax and voice connections. Fax and audio files can then be sent and
received over these connections. Some special functions, like the switching of a
phone connection to a fax connection and the processing of DTMF (Dual Tone
Multi Frequency — common touchtone phone tones), are supported.

received over these connections. Some special functions, like the switching of a
phone connection to a fax connection and the processing of DTMF (Dual Tone
Multi Frequency — common touchtone phone tones), are supported.
However, the system does not constitute a complete application suite for cer-
tain tasks, such as an answering machine application. The actual application was
written in the Python scripting language (a language especially suitable for be-
ginners) and can thus be freely adjusted to the your requirements. CapiSuite
merely processes the provided scripts and executes the specified commands. This
allows the creation of flexible solutions from a simple answering machine or fax
program to a small call center (for which the system is still lacking some basic
features).

The CapiSuite package includes some ready-made scripts that enable a comfort-

to the use of these scripts. Following the installation, details on the system as

Configuration
CapiSuite makes use of the CAPI programming interface for ISDN hardware.
Because this interface has only been available for Linux for a short time, suitable
drivers are not yet available for all ISDN adapters. However, drivers are already
available for ISDN adapters from AVM and can easily be installed and configured
with YaST.

Test the functionality of the CAPI driver by executing the command
capiinfo
as
root
. If detailed information about the capabilities of the ISDN adapter is re-
turned, the driver is installed correctly and CapiSuite can be installed with YaST
and used.
