Unify supports the functionality of CallBridge Collection in combination with communication systems and devices of the current Unify product portfolio, which are released within the actual technical release note of Callbride Collection. Devices and communications platforms, which are no longer part of the Unify product portfolio are not blocked within the installation and administration of CallBridge Collection, but in case of problems of any kind Unify does not give any support. The same applies for the support of actual Microsoft Windows Operating systems in case that a specific constellation has been released only for an older version of the Operation system.

The following information is related to CallBride Collection V2R3.11.0 <br>
 +
<br>
 +
The table below shows a general compatibility matrix of each CallBridge TSP regarding communication system family, devices and adapters.<br>
 +
'''Please note within this context:''' <br>
 +
Unify supports only released communications platforms, devices  and adapters, which are still available in the actual product portfolio. For discontinued products and PC operating systems no support is given in general. This applies also for discontinued components in combination wirh the actual CallBridge collection SW.

== Prerequisites ==
 +
 
 +
For operation of CallBride collection some HW / SW prereqisites have to be fulfilled
 +
 
 +
=== HW/SW prerequisites ===
 +
 
 +
==== Computer HW ====
 +
 
 +
'''Minimum HW-requirements'''
 +
 
 +

 +
* 128 MB RAM
 +
* 25 MB free hard disk memory
 +
* A free physical interface
 +
** Ethernet LAN Interface for CallBride IP
 +
** USB Interface for CallBride TU
 +
** RS232 Interface for CallBride TA
 +
<br>
 +
'''Please note''':<br>
 +
The Microsoft Windows operating system and the used application may require a more powerful processor, RAM and more memory space on the hard disk..
 +
 
 +
==== Computer SW ====
 +
 
 +
'''Operating systems for Callbride Collection TAPI Service Providers'''
 +
 
 +
* Microsoft Windows 7 (32/64 Bit) Service Pack: SP1
 +
* Microsoft Windows 8 (32/64 Bit) except Windows RT
 +
* Microsoft Windows 8.1 (32/64 Bit except Windows RT
 +
* Microsoft Windows 10 (32/64 Bit)

'''Please note:''' <br>
 +
 
 +
For the following platforms 64 bit version of Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows 8.x can only be used with Callbridge Collection from a specific SW version on upwards:
 +
* HiPath 2000 ≥ V2
 +
* HiPath 3000 ≥ V7
 +
* HiPath 4000 ≥ V2
 +
* HiPath OpenOffice EE/ME
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Microsoft Server operating systems have not been tested in combination with CallBridge collection and are not released for CallBride Collection V2.
 +
Some devices connected to older communication platform version are only supported by 32 bit OS. For more information see compatibility matrix.
 +
 
 +
=== Cabeling ===
 +
 
 +
Depending on the used CallBride variant different cables for the connection between computer and telephone device are required.
 +
* Ethernet 10 / 100 base T cable for connection of CallBride IP
 +
* USB cable for connection of CallBridge TU
 +
** A standard USB cable (with USB Type A and Type B plugs) can be used for OpenStage 30/40/60/80 T
 +
** A specific USB cable with Type A and an angled Type B plug has to be used for optiPoint 500 telephones. (e.g. S30267-Z360-A30)
 +
* RS232(V.24) 1:1 cable
 +
** 25pin male to 9 pin female cable for connection using the data adapter

Overview

The CallBridge Collection is a suite of specific CorNet TS TAPI Service Providers (CorNet TS TSPs) grouped as a small powerful middleware application that provides open interfaces to implement 1st Party Computer Telephony Integration (CTI).

Beneath the communication platforms and devices of the current portfolio of Unify CallBride Collection supports also older devices and platforms, which have been replaced by new models, versions or which have been phased out over the time.

Please Note:
Unify supports the functionality of CallBridge Collection in combination with communication systems and devices of the current Unify product portfolio, which are released within the actual technical release note of Callbride Collection. Devices and communications platforms, which are no longer part of the Unify product portfolio are not blocked within the installation and administration of CallBridge Collection, but in case of problems of any kind Unify does not give any support. The same applies for the support of actual Microsoft Windows Operating systems in case that a specific constellation has been released only for an older version of the Operation system.

Features

  • Service provider for first party telephony applications.
  • Runs with TAPI Versions 2.x and 3.0
  • Supports applications written for TAPI Versions 1.3, 1.4, 2.x and 3.0.
  • Operates in a phone-centric connectivity model.
  • Supports one phone device, which has to be connected via serial COM, USB or IP interface.
  • Supports one line device.
  • Supports device-specific extensions.

TAPI Service Provider Variants

For historical reasons CallBridge Collection consists of three different TAPI service providers:


CallBridge IP

CallBridge IP is the TAPI service provider for PC-based telephony using OpenStage DeskPhone CP, OpenStage DeskPhone IP ,OpenStage HFA telephones via LAN and OpenStage 60/80 T telephones via IP-over-USB protocol.

CallBridge TA

CallBridge TA is a TAPI service provider for PC-based telephony using devices with RS232 interface. Within portfolio of Unify only devices with IP or USB interface are available. Therefore CallBride TA can be used only in combination with old devices like: Optiset E telephones with an Optiset E data adapter or Optiset E control adapter.
