How to set-up ALLSIP CallManager TAPI for ALLSIP_PBX:

1. Configuration of access parameters in Asterisk PBX
The TAPI driver uses the functions of the Asterisk Manager via TCP/IP connection. There are two ways to access the Asterisk Manager:
  • the direct access to the Asterisk Manager
  • or via Asterisk Manager Proxy
Der Asterisk Manager Proxy sollte verwenden werden, wenn Sie den TAPI-Treiber auf mehr als 10 PCs einsetzen wollen, also mehr als 10 Verbindungen zum Asterisk Manager benötigen.
2. Download and Installation
  1. Download and extract ALLSIP CallManager_TAPI_for_ALLSIP_PBX_setup.zip.
  2. Run setup.exe and follow the dialogs.
3. TAPI Driver Configuration

You can open the driver configuration via: [Start > Start > Programs > ALLSIP CallManager_TAPI_for_ALLSIP_PBX > ALLSIP CallManager TAPI for ALLSIP_PBX - Configuration > Configure...].

Here you can add, remove or configure TAPI lines.

Double-clicking a TAPI line opens the dialog shown right.

3.1. TAPI Line Configuration - Access to Asterisk Manager
In first step you have to enter the access parameters for the Asterisk Server (Asterisk Manager or Asterisk Manager Proxy).
