TAPI
In NCS Ware 4.0, NEC has implemented an innovative solution to
overcome the problems mentioned above. The new solution does not rely
on Microsoft's middleware to support remote clients and implements that
functionality by itself using TCP/IP. This new architecture is depicted in
Fig. 2
Figure 2. NEC’s TAPI Implementation
TAPI Gateway consists of two components:
1.
TAPI Proxy Server
- this component should be installed on the NCS
Serv system and this component actually implements all the TSP
functionality by communicating with the NCS Serv software
components. It runs as an NT service.
2.
TAPI Service Provider
(TSP) - this component should be installed on
each client system that intends to use a TAPI application.
These two components communicate with each other using NEC's own
TCP/IP based protocol called NCS LinkPlus. Since there is no requirement
other than that the client and the server systems should have a TCP/IP
connection, the installation, maintenance and support for TAPI
applications should be very easy and straightforward.
