- ISDN CAPI based Answering Machine
- for OS/2, Windows 95 and Windows NT
-
-
-
-
-
- Introduction:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- CapiTel is a 32-Bit Answering Machine for OS/2, Windows 95 and Windows NT.
- Graphical and Text-Mode Versions are available for all operating systems.
-
- Thanks to all the users who sent us their bug reports and feature ideas,
- do not stop with your feedback!
-
- A special thanks goes to the following people:
-
- - Kerstin Glodzinski
- - Norbert Schulze
- - Kolja Nowak
- - Peter Franken
- - Dirk Schreiber
-
-
- Main Features:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- - 32-Bit Multi-Threaded Answering Machine
- - Graphical and Text-Mode versions for OS/2, based on CAPI 1.1
- - Graphical and Text-Mode versions for Win 95/NT, based on CAPI 2.0
- - Complete Support for .WAV-Files
- - Remote Control Functions, controlled by DTMF tones.
- - Silence Detection
- - Completely configurable
-
-
- Installation under OS/2:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Before you are able to use CapiTel, you have to install the OS/2
- Multimedia Package MMPM/2 and a CAPI 1.1 compliant driver for
- your ISDN card.
-
- The installation itself is easy. Just unzip the complete distribution
- archive into the desired destination directory and run INSTALL.CMD.
- This REXX script will create a CapiTel object on your Desktop.
-
- If you are going to create CapiTel objects on your own, do not
- forget to set the "Working Directory" !
-
- CAPI 1.1 is unable to handle more than one applications that listen on
- the same EAZ. Therefore: If you use CapiTel, make sure it listens to
- the configured EAZ alone.
-
-
- Installation under Win 95/NT:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Unzip the distribution archive into a temporary directory and
- start SETUP.EXE, this will install CapiTel on your machine and you
- will find it in the Start-Menu.
-
-
- Configuration:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Use the Properties-Notebook to configure CapiTel.
-
-
- General: - Play Ringing-WAV
- If this item is selected, the Ringing-WAV is played on
- your machine if an incoming call is detected.
-
- - Generate 16-Bit .WAV Files
- Mark the checkbox if your soundcard supports this.
-
- - Restore Window on new Calls
- If an incoming call is detected, the CapiTel window pops
- to the front. Under OS/2, it doesn't steal the focus!
-
- - Confirm on Call-Deletion
- Mark the checkbox if you want to be asked before
- CapiTel deletes a call.
-
- - Ignore empty Calls
- If you mark this checkbox, all calls with a recording
- time of 0 seconds won't be recognized by CapiTel
-
- - Expand Area-Code
- If a Caller-ID is detected that can't be found in the
- Callers-Database, the name of the caller's city is shown.
-
- - DTMF Support
- You can completely disable the DTMF Support (Remote Control)
- with this item.
-
- - Answer Delay
- Specify the default delay (in seconds) before CapiTel
- answers a call.
-
- - Max. Recording Time
- Specify the default maximum recording time (in seconds).
- CapiTel automatically hangs up if a caller speaks and
- exceeds this limit!
-
- - Silence Detection
- Specify the Silence Detection (in seconds).
- CapiTel automaticalls hangs up if a caller stops speaking
- and exceeds this limit!
-
- - Welcome-WAV
- The default file that is played when CapiTel answers a call.
-
- - Ringing-WAV
- The default file that is played on your machine when an
- incoming call is detected.
-
- - Logfile
- CapiTel can log all calls into a log-file. You may also
- specify a Named Pipe or a Device (ie. your printer), if
- your operating system supports this.
-
-
- Ports: To edit, double-click on an entry or use the PopUp-Menu.
- If there is no port listed, CapiTel reacts on ALL available ports!
-
- Port: A short description for the port.
-
- EAZ/MSN: The EAZ or the MSN for this port. If you are using
- a CAPI 1.1 driver, fill in an EAZ between 0 and 9
- here. If you are using CAPI 2.0, supply a complete
- MSN.
-
- Welcome WAV/ALW: The WAV or ALW file that is played to the caller.
- Use * for the default.
-
- Ringing WAV: The WAV that is played on your machine when
- an incoming call is detected.
- Use * for the default.
-
- Reaction: CapiTel is able to reject a call. Here you define how it
- should behave: 'Normal' for normal behaviour, 'Busy' to
- simulate a busy line, 'Refuse' to refuse the call, and
- 'Unavailable' to simulate an unavailable service.
- Important: The reaction you define here is only valid
- for the ISDN card. If another device (ie. an ISDN
- telephone) is also listening on the EAZ/MSN, the caller
- won't get CapiTel's reaction! There is nothing we can
- do about this. That's the way ISDN works.
-
- Answer Delay: The answer delay (in seconds) for the port.
- Use * for the default.
-
- Max. Recording Time: The maximum recording time (in seconds)
- for the port.
- Use * for the default.
-
-
- Callers: To edit, double-click on an entry or use the PopUp-Menu.
- If someone calls you and the incoming number matches one in this
- container, the caller specific settings are used.
-
- Name: The caller's name.
-
- Number: The caller's number which is used when identifying
- incoming calls. You may use the * wildcard at the end of
- a number (and only there).. ie. 024192090* matches ALL
- numbers that start with 024192090.
-
- The other fields are described under Ports.
-
-
- Remote Actions:
- To edit, double-click on an entry or use the PopUp-Menu.
-
- DTMF Code: If this DTMF Code is detected, the appropiate
- Action is started.
-
- Action: The following actions are available:
-
- - Remote Control plays all calls that have been
- recorded. Use the *-Button on your phone to delete
- them.
- - Reboot
- - Deactivate CapiTel
- - Quit CapiTel
- - Execute starts a program on your machine. You have
- to fill in the Program, Arguments and Title fields!
-
- Window Title: This is the window's title of an EXECUTE-Action.
-
-
- Use "Save" to save the new settings, or "Cancel" to discard them.
-
- A note about the Port/Caller specific settings:
- If you specify something for a caller, it takes precedence over the
- settings you might have defined for a Port.
-
-
- Usage:
- ~~~~~
- The most important part of the CapiTel main window is the container. There
- you will see all incoming calls. The fields are self explanatory.
- Under OS/2, you may throw colours and fonts into the main window, they
- will be remembered.
-
- If you are using CapiTel with hidden controls, you can access the various
- menu functions with the popup menu you get when you click with your
- right mouse button on the container. Under OS/2, the window can be moved
- by dragging the sizing border with the right mouse button pressed.
-
- Use the "Record" option to record a new welcome message by calling
- yourself. A dialog will pop up asking you for a filename. WELCOME.ALW is
- the default. You can use the created ALW files in the Port and
- Callers tabs of the Properties-Notebook.
-
- Of course you can create a .WAV file yourself and use it directly!
-
- If someone calls you and wants to stop the Welcome-WAV, he just
- pushes the #-Button on his phone.
-
- If you have any questions, contact us!
-
-
- Hints for Experts:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Almost everything in CapiTel can be configured time-dependent. It can't
- be found in the Properties-Notebook, because we didn't want to confuse
- newbies. Edit CAPITEL.PRT, CAPITEL.NAM or CAPITEL.ACT and modify the
- entries as follows:
-
- entry=<default_value>[~<chunk_1>][~<chunk_2>]...[~<chunk_n>]
-
- chunk_x=<fromday>-<today>,<fromtime-totime>,<value_for_this_chunk>
-
- fromday/today can be one of: Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr, Sa, Su
- Lower Day-Value must be first in the Day-Ranges. ie. Fr-Mo is not allowed!
-
- fromtime/totime must be xx:yy (xx=hours, yy=minutes) in 24 Hour format.
-
- CapiTel parses the chunks from left to right and stops after the first hit.
- Time-dependent entries must not exceed 512 characters.
- The default value is used if there is no hit.
-
- Some examples can be found in CAPITEL.CFG
-
-
- Registration:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The OS/2 evaluation version expires after 60 days. After this period,
- it _stops_ working and you have to register it if you want to
- further use it.
-
- The Win 95/NT version does not expire, but it has a 10 second delay
- upon Startup. Also reminding windows pop up after the fifth call,
- and CapiTel automatically deactivates itself after the 12th call.
-
- Different BEEP-Tones are used by the registered version and the
- evaluation copy. This way we can determine whether someone is using
- an illegal copy or not.
