Learning objective
Commissioning of simple dialing functions in third-party applications through estos ProCall.
Learning content
What different options does estos ProCall offer to support dialing functions in third-party applications?
Requirements
- Knowledge from ProCall training regarding Tapi Service Provider (TSP) installation and their differences.
- Knowledge of registering ProCall as a standard telephony application.
Individual work/knowledge development
In addition to using the ProCall SDK to implement telephony controls in third-party applications (Content Integration II) or the simple dialing via the function key using the Windows clipboard by marking the phone number, there are a number of options:
Use of the standard application for telephony | Registration of DIALIT32.exe in Reg Hive Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Telephony\HandoffPriorities |
Use of telephone URI's (Uniform Resource Identifier) | Creation of keys and registration of ECtiClient.exe under tel, phone, call, callto and dialto in hive Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\<....> |
Use of MS TAPI | Installation of the Client, Remote or Multiline TSP |
This is all done by installing the PE client and can be reactivated after registering another application in the settings of the PE client under General\Behavior.
