== Overview ==
  
 
The '''CallBridge Collection''' is a suite of specific [[CorNet]] TS '''T'''API '''S'''ervice '''P'''roviders (CorNet TS TSPs) grouped as a small powerful middleware application that provides open interfaces to implement [[1st Party]] Computer Telephony Integration ([[CTI]]).
 
The '''CallBridge Collection''' is a suite of specific [[CorNet]] TS '''T'''API '''S'''ervice '''P'''roviders (CorNet TS TSPs) grouped as a small powerful middleware application that provides open interfaces to implement [[1st Party]] Computer Telephony Integration ([[CTI]]).
The three Telephony Service Providers of CallBridge Collection are:
 
<br\>
 
* [[#CallBridge TS Providers|CallBridge IP]], through IP network connection ([[LAN]] cable), can control:
 
** [[optiPoint 410/420]] (CorNet-IP) family
 
** optiPoint 600 office (CorNet-IP)
 
* [[#CallBridge TS Providers|CallBridge TU]], through a USB connection ([[USB]] cable), can control:
 
** [[optiPoint 500]] (U<sub>P0/E</sub>) family
 
** optiPoint 600 office (U<sub>P0/E</sub>)
 
* [[#CallBridge TS Providers|CallBridge TA]], through a Serial COM connection ([[V.24]] cable), can control
 
** optiset E phones (U<sub>P0/E</sub>) family, indifferently equipped with:
 
*** optiset E Data adapter
 
*** optiset E Control adapter
 
  
=== Compatibility Matrix ===
+
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devices of the current portfolio of Unify CallBride Collection supports also older devices and platforms, which have been replaced by new models, versions or which have been phased out over the time. <br>
 +
 
 +
'''Please Note''':<br>
 +
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 TU ===
 +
CallBridge TU is a TAPI service provider for PC-based telephony using OpenStage 30/40 T telephones via a USB interface.
 +
 
 +
[[Image:CB_TU_V2_OSBiz.png|450px|CallBride TU with OpenStage T devices]]
 +
 
 +

 +
 
 +
=== 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.
 +
 
 +

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.
