Configuring ipbx for TAPI Use

Access your ipbx system via system console or SSH, and edit the /etc/asterisk/manager.conf file and add the following:

 [tapi]
 secret=mytapipassword
 deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
 permit=192.168.55.0/255.255.255.0
 read=system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user
 write=system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user

Replace the password (secret) with a strong password and enter your local LAN to prevent unauthorized access to the manager API.

Installing the TAPI Client

Download the Activa TSP client from http://sourceforge.net/projects/activa/files/ - make sure you select the correct version if you are using a 64bit platform.

Open the ZIP archive and Install ‘SetupActiva.exe’ in folder ‘Activa’. The installation process will prompt you for your configuration details.

If the call does not go through, e.g. you phone rings but you get a busy signal, please check that Outlook is dialing the number correctly. Numbers should be dialed in the same way as on your desk phone. See Dialing Properties... for adjustments. If you haven’t restarted your computer after the installation completed, restart your computer and try again.
