TAPI Support
CPC-AII/B offers full support for the Panasonic Telephony Applications Processing Interface 
(TAPI). TAPI is a Windows™ application which allows a PC to be connected to a telephone 
extension and used to control incoming and outgoing calls through that extension.  Typical 
PC applications that might be used with TAPI include Contact Managers and Personal 
Organizers.
The Panasonic TAPI product (VB-43720) provides the necessary interface between a DBS 
and a PC-based TAPI application. This product consists of a TAPI Adapter and the Panasonic 
TAPI Service Provider (SP) software which resides on the PC. The TAPI Adapter provides 
the physical connection between a PC, a DBS extension, and the DBS itself. Its purpose is to 
intercept telephone and call control signaling messages from the DBS and telephone 
extension and then forward a copy of those messages to the Service Provider software on the 
PC. After interpreting the messages, the Service Provider software passes them on to the 
TAPI application.
No special programming of the DBS is required for TAPI. For detailed information, see the 
TAPI Installation Guide, Part Number 575X00201, Section 570.
