Managing telephony from the command line

In addition to the Telephony console, you can use command-line utilities to manage telephony servers and clients. For example, you can use Tapicfg to create, remove, or display a TAPI application directory partition, publish a service connection point for a TAPI application directory partition, or set a default TAPI application directory partition.

You can use Tsecimp to import assignment information from an Extensible Markup (XML) file into a telephony server security file (tsec.ini) and to set up or disable telephony clients.

For information about other command-line utilities, see Command-line reference. For more information about manageability, see Management strategies and tools.

Note

• If your telephony clients or servers run Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000, you must run tcmsetup to set up telephony clients. If your telephony clients run XOX or a Windows Server 2003 operating system, and your telephony servers run Windows Server 2003, you can set up telephony clients by adding the Windows Remote Service Provider to your clients instead. To add the Windows Remote Service Provider, see To add a telephony service provider.
