About This Manual

The NMS TAPI Installation and Developer's Manual explains how to install NMS TAPI software for use by TAPI applications. It also provides information developers need in order to use the following three standard APIs in a TAPI application with NMS telephony hardware: TAPI, WAVE, NaturalFax.
This manual is targeted to application developers who are developing TAPI applications with the Microsoft Platform SDK. It assumes developers are familiar with the TAPI and Windows Multimedia System APIs documented in the Microsoft Platform SDK documentation. The manual defines terms where applicable, but assumes that the reader is familiar with basic telephony concepts and with the C programming language.
This manual is organized as follows: For... See... An overview of the NMS TAPI driver, and a summary of the steps in the installation process Chapter 1 - Introduction Instructions for installing and configuring NMS TAPI driver software Chapter 2 - Installing and Configuring the Software A description of TAPI functions and messages supported by NMS TAPI Chapter 3 - Using TAPI Functions A description of WAVE functions, formats, and options supported by NMS TAPI Chapter 4 - Using WAVE Functions Details regarding NaturalFax for TAPI functions that send/receive faxes using NMS telephony boards Chapter 5 - Using NaturalFax for TAPI Details regarding TAPI functions that perform extended operations on NMS telephony boards Chapter 6 - Using Hardware-Specific Functions Instructions for running the NMS TAPI demonstration program Chapter 7 - Demonstration Program A glossary of relevant terms Appendix A - Glossary Instructions for uninstalling NMS TAPI software Appendix B - Removing the Software Descriptions and solutions to some common installation issues. Appendix C - Troubleshooting A list of NMS board Parameters that can be changed through the NMS configurator or lineDevSpecific. Appendix D - NMS Board Parameters
The installation instructions in this manual describe how to install NMS TAPI for applications that use Microsoft's TAPI and multimedia APIs to perform telephony functions. You can obtain more information about these API's through the Microsoft Platform SDK online documentation and the Microsoft World Wide Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/). Related Documents
