Hi,

I am trying to get our existing TAPI program to work with Nortel's BCM
400.  We installed the LAN CTE which seemed to be required in order to
install the EntrepriseEdge.tsp for using TAPI.  I am able to dial
calls, make a connection and drop a connection correctly.  I am unable
to play a wav file over the line.  (I also want to record off the
line, but haven't gotten there yet.)  My call to lineGetID(hline, 0L,
NULL, LINECALLSELECT_LINE, vs, "wave/out" ) fails.  I believe it is
because we didn't install any wave drivers.  I don't even know if
there are wave drivers.  So I was wondering:

1. Are there any such wav drivers?  If so, where can I get them?
Download from BCM or somewhere on the web?  Are there 3rd party
drivers that would work?

2. If not, is it possible to play wav files over the line using the
LAN CTE?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,

many PBX TSPs support only call control but no media.
It is best to check with your PBX manufacturer, but in
your case I just fear that it's not supported.

Other ways to get media are to install telephony hardware
on your computer (analog or ISDN boards) or connect
to your PBX through VoIP if it supports that.

You can use the MS H.323 TSP (shipped with Windows)
for H.323 or for SIP you could try our SIP TSP
("TERASIP") which requires TAPI3.x, though, at the moment.


Best regards,

Thanks for your response.

I've been googling some of your suggestions as I'm not very familiar
with the other options you gave.  Nortel BCM does seem to have a VoIP
option.  Do you or does anyone know if there is a TAPI interface for
using Nortel BCM VoIP?  Is a TAPI interface possible with H.323?

Thanks!

Of course it depends on the protocol that Nortel BCM suppports.
Most probably it's either SIP or H.323 or both but you would need
to find out first.
