TAPI Dialer Settings

Note: The TAPI protocol is only available if selected when CRT is installed.

You can use the TAPI protocol to "share" your computerÆs modem with other applications. For example, if you have a fax application that is TAPI compliant, you will be able to have both CRT and your fax software open at the same time. Although both programs cannot use the modem at exactly the same time, TAPI compliant programs can be running at the same time, using the modem to dial out or receive calls on an "as needed" basis.

When using TAPI, the following information must be entered:

Modem

Select the modem you would like to use from the "Dial using" list of modems. If you have a modem installed, you can also configure it while in the Session Options dialog, by selecting the modem and clicking on the Configure button.

Country Code

Enter the country code associated with the number you are dialing.

Area Code

Enter the area code for the number you are dialing.

Phone Number

Enter the phone number that you are dialing. CRT also allows you to specify any alternate phone numbers you wish to dial using the same session.
