Introduction to Enterprise Edge TSP
The Enterprise Edge Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) range of products
provides an interface between your personal computer (PC) and your Enterprise
Edge system. With these products, you can use telephony applications on your
Windows® computer to control your Enterprise Edge telephone.
One of the basic software components of Enterprise Edge CTI is Enterprise Edge
TSP. Enterprise Edge TSP works with Microsoft® TAPI and Windows® NT to
allow your telephony application to communicate with and control your Enterprise
Edge telephone.
How does Enterprise Edge TSP work?
Enterprise Edge TSP works with three other software components, each providing
a different function. The four software components are:
• Telephony application
Telephony applications are installed on client PCs. Enterprise Edge TSP users
run telephony applications to control their Enterprise Edge telephone. With
these applications, Enterprise Edge TSP users give commands (such as answer
telephone) to the Enterprise Edge system. The telephony application also
displays messages (such as telephone ringing) received from Enterprise Edge
system. An example of a telephony application is Enterprise Edge Personal Call
Manager.
• Windows operating system
Windows is installed on the Server and the client PCs. Windows passes
commands from the telephony application to TAPI and messages from TAPI to
the telephony application.
• Microsoft Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI)
TAPI is installed on the Enterprise Edge Server and the client PCs. TAPI
converts industry standard commands received from Windows into a format
that Enterprise Edge TSP can understand. It also converts messages from
Enterprise Edge TSP into an industry standard format and gives them to
Windows.
• Enterprise Edge TSP
Enterprise Edge TSP is installed on the Enterprise Edge Server as a
Windows NT service. Enterprise Edge TSP receives commands from TAPI and
converts them into a format that is understood by the Enterprise Edge system. It
also receives messages from the Enterprise Edge system and converts them into
a format that is understood by TAPI.
The figure Enterprise Edge TSP overview shows how messages and commands are
passed between the client PCs and the Enterprise Edge system.

10 Configuring TAPI on the Server
Configuring TAPI on the Server
You must configure Microsoft TAPI Server on the Enterprise Edge Server before
network users can use it to access Enterprise Edge TSP. Configure TAPI Server
using the Telephony Control Manager software.
The Telephony Control Manager (TCM) software is made by Microsoft
Corporation. This software consists of two applications: TCMSETUP and
TCMAPP. Use TCMSETUP to setup and enable/disable telephony services for the
client and the server. Use TCMAPP on the server to configure the associations
between Enterprise Edge telephones and Windows domain user accounts.
Note: Ensure that Enterprise Edge TSP is installed, configured, and running
before setting up TCMAPP.
To configure the Server you must:
• enable the TAPI Server
• add Enterprise Edge TSP clients to TAPI Server
• assign telephones to Enterprise Edge TSP clients
Enterprise Edge TSP Configuration Guide P0908541 Issue 01

P0908541 Issue 01 Enterprise Edge TSP Configuration Guide
14 Configuring TAPI on the Server
Assigning a telephone to a Enterprise Edge TSP client
For each Enterprise Edge TSP client, you must assign an extension number to their
network user ID. The Server uses this information to make sure the correct
telephone is controlled by a Enterprise Edge TSP client.
You add the extension numbers using the TSP User Configuration dialog box. You
assign the extension numbers to the network user IDs using the TCMAPP utility.
This utility is made by Microsoft Corporation. For additional information about
using the TCMAPP utility, refer to the documentation that came with the
Windows NT Server operating system.
Tip: Although an Enterprise Edge TSP client can log on from any computer on
the network, the extension number associated with that client does not
change unless you change it in the TCMAPP utility. This allows Enterprise
Edge TSP clients to receive TAPI messages for their telephone from any
computer they log on to. This also means that the TAPI messages
Enterprise Edge TSP clients receive are always for the telephone assigned
to them, not necessarily the telephone beside the computer they are using.
To assign a telephone to an Enterprise Edge TSP client
1. Start VNC and access the Server desktop.
For information about how to set up and use VNC, refer to Appendix A:
Virtual Network Computing (VNC) on page 37.
2. On the Enterprise Edge TSP Server, click the Start button and then click
Run.

8. Click the Yes button to save the information.
9. Restart the Server.
Tips for the assigning lines
Blank lines that appear in the TAPI line device list on the Change Line Device
Access for Selected User dialog box indicate errors on devices specified in the TSP
User Configuration dialog box. These errors include:
• an invalid extension number was specified
• an out-of-service extension number was specified
• an extension number entered is in use by another application (such as Enterprise
Edge Voice Messaging or Enterprise Edge Call Center)
Within TCMAPP, the extension numbers specified in the TSP User Configuration
dialog box are processed in numerical order. When TCMAPP encounters an invalid
extension number, a blank line appears and TCMAPP continues processing. When
TCMAPP encounters out-of-service and in-use extension numbers, TCMAPP stops
processing and no information is displayed for the remaining lines. These blank
lines are placed at the top of the list.
Lines with problems can be determined by re-verifying the numbers or dialing the
numbers from a telephone.
To correct blank lines due to invalid extension numbers or out-of-service
conditions, delete those lines from the TSP User Configuration dialog box. After
you restart the Server, these blank lines disappear.
To correct blank lines due to the in-use-by-another-application, wait for a while,
then re-enter the TCMAPP application. After TCMAPP identifies a device, it will
not cause further disruption to the installation.

Edge TSP. With each problem is a recommended solution.
Troubleshooting while using Enterprise Edge TSP
Normally, when Enterprise Edge TSP encounters an error, an error message appears
on the display. These error messages describe the problem and recommend an
action to solve the problem.
Enterprise Edge TSP stops functioning on client PCs that were previously functioning
• Check that the TAPI server is acquiring telephones correctly.
Open the TCMAPP application. For more information, refer to Assigning a
telephone to a Enterprise Edge TSP client on page 14.
Check to see if the affected TAPI clients still have a telephone assigned to them.
If a TAPI client does not have a telephone device assigned, the TAPI server is
not acquiring the telephones properly. This can be caused by changing the
extension number of the telephone or the telephone going out of service. For
information on correcting this problem, refer to Tips for the assigning lines on
page 16.
• Check if the password for the TAPI administration account has changed.
If the password has changed, run the TCMSETUP command using the new
password. For information on how to run this command, refer to Enabling the
TAPI Server on page 11.
Enterprise Edge TSP client are not able to access their extensions when using a TAPI
application
• Check all the settings on both the Server and the client PC.
• If the Server becomes unavailable, you must restart the client PCs to get their
TAPI services back. Always restart the client PCs after the Server is restarted.
• Install the NetBEUI protocol on the Server and the client PCs.
• Make sure you are logged in as a domain-user with Administrative privileges
(not as the server administrator) when using the TCMSETUP and TCMAPP
applications on the Server. If you did log on as the server administrator, use
TCMSETUP to disable the Server, log on as a domain-user with Administrative
privileges and then enable the Server again.

36 Starting Enterprise Edge TSP
Enterprise Edge TSP tips
Starting Enterprise Edge TSP
TAPI server starts up when any TAPI application or service is launched (for
example, TSP Launcher). During start up, TAPI server acquires all of the
telephones identified in the TAPI User Configuration. Acquiring the telephones
runs in the background and can take as long a five seconds for each telephone. If
you have a TAPI service setup to start at boot time, the Server’s startup may take a
number of minutes to complete. For example, if you have a Server configured with
50 telephones, initialization of TAPI server can add four minutes to the server
startup time.
