Re: Log incoming calls to a textfile. is this possible in jtapi?

Alen,

Yes, both GJTAPI and XTAPI can help you. XTAPI has a service provider for TAPI that talks
through a DLL to the TAPI API and handles event callbacks (like incoming call events). If
you want a JTAPI 1.3 implementation, then GJTAPI offers a thin bridge that allows you to
plug in the XTAPI service provider. From a programming point of view, it is then a simple
thing to register for events on an address and then, when the events come in, get the
remote address and log it.

The tricky part is in making sure that the TAPI device is properly registered with TAPI,
and then determining which TAPI address is associated with the device, so that you can
tell the TAPI "driver" or "service provider" how to hook up to TAPI.

A second tricky thing is making sure that TAPI collects the remote address. I'm not
familiar with the Siemen's Optiset phone, but analog (POTS - PSTN) phones in North America
receive calling number ID as a series of inband DTMF signals during the first and second
ring cycle. This means that during the intial ring, the remote caller ID is not known.
Some TAPI drivers have a problem picking this up, and some callers can disable it. I
believe the Optiset is a digital phone, so you shouldn't have this problem.

Cheers,


Richard
