TAPI
The telephony applications programming interface (TAPI) system-board
connector uses a 4-pin cable to interface your internal TAPI-compliant
expansion card with the audio system in your computer. To locate the TAPI
system-board connector, see “System Board Components.” Your computer
supports TAPI-compliant cards using the standard TAPI connector (labeled
TELE). For example, you can connect your modem to the TAPI connector
and then use your audio speakers and microphone as a speakerphone. The
microphone carries your voice into the computer and then through the
TAPI system board connector to your modem card. The caller’s voice enters
through the modem card to the TAPI system board connector and then out
to the speakers. You can also use this configuration to record and play sound
files over the phone.
NOTE: See the
documentation that came
with the TAPI-compliant
expansion card for more
information on using
TAPI devices and to
verify the card works with
your computer.
