TAPI test environment
Sergey
I need your help with some problems.
I'm working on a TAPI project. I'd like to use TAPI 2.0 via C# and some
steps have already been done.
Firstly, I implemented a .Net wrapper over TAPI 2.0 (I intend to use this
wrapper in my further applications).
After that, a small tool was created. This tool is called CallNotificator,
it catches line events and sends e-mails about unanswered calls.
During development period, some tsp emulators, tapi browser(TB20) and h323
tsp were used.
It seems that everything works fine, but unfortunatelly I have no ability to
check my tool via a real pbx or a phone device.
I tried to use an unimodem tsp but I could not catch events even by TB20.
Frankly speaking, my modem is quite old (Rockwell 33.6k), can it be a reason?
Could somebody advise me which modem works properly with the unimodem tsp?
Also, I would be very appreciated if somebody helps me to test my tool via a
real tsp, you can find it here: http://www.cbusinesstools.com
Please, pay attention that .Net framework 2.0 is required.

Sergey,
is your modem listed in Phone And Modem Options / Modems ?
Can you make outbound calls vit it via TB20 ?
What OS/SP are you using?

I just downloaded and installed your CallNotificator and made some simple
tests with the
Siemens HiPath TAPI 170 TSP.
It worked: emails about unanswered calls arrived.

Some years ago you already answered my question about CallBridge for
HiPath4000 and now you are helping me again! I very much appreciate your
assistance.
> Sergey,

As far as I remember, in this list there are no any points associated with
my modem.
I will check it later, now I have no ability to do it.
> Can you make outbound calls vit it via TB20 ?
Yes, I can make outbound calls, but it works unstable.
For example, the first call is made and I can see some events.
but there are no any events when the called party hangs up.
I invokes lineDrop(...) for the current call and then I can't do anything.
I can't even make outbound call for this oppened line !
I think, the best way is to try another modem :)
> What OS/SP are you using?
WinXP SP3

If your modem is not listed there
then it is not properly installed.
Only modem listed there are supported by UniModem TSP.

If you can make outbound calls with that modem via TAPI then it must be
installed and listed like mentioned above.
> For example, the first call is made and I can see some events.

Do you do a lineDeallocateCall() after the call has reached
LINECALLSTATE_IDLE ?
This is absolutely required to free call related resources.
UniModem TSP only supports one call handle at a time,
so if you don't deallocate the old hCall you won't be able to (implicitely)
allocate a new hCall, i.e. make or receive the next call.
> I think, the best way is to try another modem :)
If the issue is caused by missing lineDeallocateCall() then another modem
won't change anything.

Thanks and happy new year too :-)

Andreas, you are right, my modem is listed in Phone And Modem Options /
Modems.

About lineDeallocateCall, you are right too.
The next call can be made after lineDeallocateCall() is done,
but call events are not received.
Thank you Andreas for your help.

Sergey, you are welcome.
Did you lineOpen() the device with LINECALLPRIVILEGE_OWNER + _MONITOR ?
With UniModem TSP LINECALLPRIVILEGE_MONITIOR is not sufficient to get
notified about incoming calls.
