Overview

OpenScape Business TAPI 120 TSP is a "first party" telephony service provider that supports the Microsoft TAPI V2.1 functionality. TAPI 120 enables Microsoft Windows-based CTI applications to monitor and control a phone or device connected to OpenScape Business.
OpenScape Business TAPI 120 can alternatively be connected via LAN using the WSI (WebServices Interface) to the Motherboard of OpenScape Business or via LAN to the UC Booster HW using CSTA (Computer Supported Telephony Application) protocol). A mixed operation of the interface modes to one system is not possible. If the OpenScape Business system contains a UC Booster Card or if it is connected to a UC Booster server, TAPI 120 can only be operated with the CSTA protocol.

CallBridge IP is the TAPI service provider for PC-based telephony using 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.
