Section 570 - TAPI Installation Guide
Installing the Service Provider software
You should make a backup copy of the Panasonic Service Provider disk before
beginning the installation procedure. You may proceed with the installation once
the backup copy has been made.
1. Close out all other Windows applications.
2. Insert the Service Provider disk into floppy drive A or B.
3. For Windows 3.1, select
File,
then
Run
from the Program Manager screen.
For Windows 95, select
Start,
then
Run
from the Windows desktop.
4. In the Command Line box, type
a:setup
or
b:setup
(depending on which
drive you placed the disk in), then press
<ENTER>
. The Panasonic
Service Provider files will be installed to the same directory containing
your Windows system files (usually Windows/System).
Note:
If using Windows 3.1, a new program group called "DBS" will be
added to your Program Manager screen when the installation is complete.
You will use the Test Dialer in this group later to test the Service Provider
software. For now, however, close out this window.
Configuring the Telephony driver and dialing
options
After the installation is complete, open the Windows Telephony Control Panel and
configure the Windows TAPI application for use with the Panasonic Telephony
driver.
For Windows 3.1
1. To open the Telephony Control Panel in Windows 3.1, open the
Main
group window. Double click on the
Control Panel
icon, then on the
Telephony
icon.
2. In the Telephony window, click
Location Setup
. The Locations window
will open. Click
Add
to open the Add Location window. Enter the
extension number of the DBS extension being set up. If you need to dial a
digit to access an outside line, enter the digit in the appropriate fields. To
indicate a pause, use "W" (wait) following the digit - for example, "9W".
Be sure to also enter your area code and country code in the appropriate
fields. If using a calling card, click
Calling Card Setup
and add the
appropriate information.
