Abstract
A TAPI method according to an implementation of the present invention includes installing a TAPI service provider and associating a first PID with the TAPI service provider; re-installing the TAPI service provider and associating a second PID with the TAPI service provider; and automatically associating TAPI devices that had been associated with the first PID with the second PID.
Claims15
A Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI) method, comprising:
- installing a TAPI service provider, said installing including associating a first provider ID (PID) with said TAPI service provider;
- re-installing said TAPI service provider, said re-installing including associating a second PID with said TAPI service provider;
- and
- automatically associating TAPI devices that had been associated with said first PID with said second PID.
A Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI) method, comprising:
- re-installing a TAPI service provider, said re-installing including associating a first provider ID (PID) with said TAPI service provider;
- and
- automatically associating TAPI devices that had been associated with a prior PID from a previous installation of said TAPI service provider with said first PID.
A Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI) system, comprising:
- means for installing a TAPI service provider, said installing means including means for associating a first provider ID (PID) with said TAPI service provider;
- means for re-installing said TAPI service provider, said re-installing means including means for associating a second PID with said TAPI service provider;
- and
- means for automatically associating TAPI devices that had been associated with said first PID with said second PID.
A Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI) system, comprising:
- means for re-installing a TAPI service provider, said re-installing means including means for associating a first provider ID (PID) with said TAPI service provider;
- and
- means for automatically associating TAPI devices that had been associated with a prior PID from a previous installation of said TAPI service provider with said first PID.
A Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI) system, comprising:
- at least one processor programmed to reinstall a TAPI service provider and associate a first provider ID (PID) with said TAPI service provider;
- said at least one processor further programmed to automatically associate TAPI devices that had been associated with a prior PID from a previous installation of said TAPI service provider with said first PID.
