You can find the installation programs required for this on the internet web page where you have downloaded rhe Aastra 800 software. For more information, please contact the Aastra DeTeWe sales department.

Proceed as follows to install extra software:

1.Log on under Windows as the administrator.

2.Double click the program file. Follow the program instructions. Further instructions for various options that are available are given below.

13.1Setting up TAPI

With a TAPI (Telephony Application Programming Interface) you can operate a CTI application (Computer Telephony Integration). Here, the CTI application uses the services of the Aastra 800 with the help of the TAPI driver installed on a Windows PC.

Many telephony functions, such as enquiry, toggling, three-party conference, pick- up, call protection and call forwarding can be controlled using appropriate TAPI- compatible software.

Requirements

You require an active IP network connection between the PC and the communica- tions system. CTI functions can be used only in conjunction with system terminals.

You must therefore have configured at least one user for a system terminal. In addition, you require a TAPI 2.1-compatible CTI application, for example the Phone Dialer included in the Windows operating system.

Installing the TAPI Driver

1.Double click the program file.

2.Follow the program instructions.
