Introduction
The Cisco TAPI Service Provider (Cisco TSP) allows developers to create customized IP telephony applications for Cisco users; for example, voice mail with other TAPI-compliant systems, automatic call distribution (ACD), and caller ID screen pops. Cisco TSP enables the Cisco IP Telephony system (Cisco CallManager) to understand commands from a user-level TAPI application.
The Cisco TAPI solution allows you to install multiple Cisco TAPI Service Providers (TSPs) on the same machine. This configuration allows TAPI applications to increase the number of lines that can be supported and to increase the amount of call traffic. Configure each Cisco TSP with a different username and password that is administered in the Cisco CallManager Directory. Configure each user in the Directory, so no two users are associated to the same device. TSPs in the multiple TSP system do not communicate with each other and create a separate computer telephony integration (CTI) connection to the Cisco CallManager.
Note
If you have upgraded to Cisco CallManager 4.1, you must upgrade the TAPI client software on any application server or client workstation on which TAPI applications are installed. If you do not upgrade the TAPI client, your application will fail to initialize. If you need to upgrade, download the appropriate client from the Cisco CallManager Administration as described in the "Installing the Cisco TSP" section.
The upgraded TAPI client software does not work with older releases of Cisco CallManager.
Installing the Cisco TSP
Install the Cisco TSP software either directly from the Cisco CallManager CD-ROM or from Cisco CallManager Administration. For information on installing plugins from the Cisco CallManager, see the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide.
To install the Cisco TSP from the Cisco CallManager CD-ROM, perform the following steps.
Note
If you install Cisco TSP 4.1 on a system that contains Cisco TSP 3.0, the installation program deletes the TSP 3.0 version and installs TSP 4.1. If you install Cisco TSP 4.1 on a system that contains Cisco TSP 3.1, Cisco TSP 3.2, or Cisco TSP 3.3, the installation program upgrades the TSPs to TSP 4.1. (For more details, see the "Managing the Cisco TSP" section.)
The installation wizard varies depending on whether you have a previous version of Cisco TSP installed.
Note
Installing multiple TSPs installs multiple CiscoTSPXXX.tsp and CiscoTUISPXXX.dll files in the same Windows system directory.

Auto Update for Cisco TSP Upgrades
CiscoTSP supports auto update functionality, so the latest plugin can be downloaded and installed on the client machine. When the Cisco Call Manager is upgraded to a higher version, and CiscoTSP auto update functionality is enabled, the latest compatible CiscoTSP is available, which is compatible with the upgraded Call Manager. This ensures that the applications work as expected with the new release of Cisco CallManager (provided the new call manager interface is backward compatible with the TAPI interface). The CiscoTSP that is installed locally on the client server allows the application to set the auto update options as part of the CiscoTSP configuration. You can opt for updating the CiscoTSP in the following different ways.
•
Update CiscoTSP whenever a different (has to be higher version that existing) version is available on the Cisco CallManager server.
•
Update CiscoTSP whenever a QBE protocol version mismatch occurs between the existing CiscoTSP and the Cisco CallManager version.
•
Do not update CiscoTSP by using the auto update functionality.
AutoInstall Behavior
As part of initialization of CiscoTSP, when the application does lineInitializeEx, CiscoTSP queries the current TSP plugin version information that is available on Cisco CallManager server. Once this information is available, CiscoTSP compares the installed CiscoTSP version with the plugin version. If user chose an option for Auto Update, CiscoTSP triggers the update process. As part of Auto Update, CiscoTSP behaves in the following ways on different platforms.
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME
Because CiscoTSP is in use and locked when the application does lineInitializeEx, the auto update process requests that you close all the running applications to install the new TSP version on the client setup. When all the running applications get closed, CiscoTSP auto update process can continue, and you will be informed about the upgrade success. If the running applications do not get closed and the installation continues, the new version of CiscoTSP will not get installed, and a corresponding error gets reported to the applications.
Windows NT
After CiscoTSP detects that an upgradeable version is available on the Cisco CallManager server and Auto Update gets chosen, CiscoTSP reports 0 lines to the application and removes the CiscoTSP provider from the provider list. It will then try to stop the telephony service to avoid any locked files during Auto Update. If the telephony service can be stopped, CiscoTSP gets silently auto updated and the service restarted. Applications must be reinitialized in order to start using the CiscoTSP. If the telephony service could not be stopped, CiscoTSP installs the new version and displays a message to restart the system. You must restart the system in order to use the new CiscoTSP.
Windows 2000 or XP
After CiscoTSP detects that an upgradeable version is available on the Cisco CallManager server and Auto Update option gets chosen, CiscoTSP reports 0 lines to the application and removes the CiscoTSP provider from the provider list. If a new TSP version is detected during the reconnect time, the running applications receive LINE_REMOVE on all the lines, which are already initialized and are in OutOfService state. CiscoTSP silently upgrades to the new version that was downloaded from the Cisco CallManager and puts the CiscoTSP provider back on the provider list. All the running applications receive LINE_CREATE messages.
WinXP supports multiple user logon sessions (fast user switching); however, this release supports Auto Update only for the first logon user. If multiple active logon sessions exist, CiscoTSP only supports the Auto Update functionality for the first logged-on user.
Note
If a user has multiple CiscoTSPs installed on the client machine, only the first CiscoTSP instance is enabled to set up the Auto Update configuration. All CiscoTSPs get upgraded to a common version upon version mismatch. From "Control Panel/Phone & Modem Options/Advanced/CiscoTSP001," the General window displays the options for Auto Update.
Because it is a CTI service parameter, which can be configured, you can change the Plugin location to a different machine than the Cisco CallManager server. The default is "//<CMServer>//ccmpluginsserver".
If Silent upgrade fails on any listed platforms for any reason (such as locked files that are encountered during upgrade on Win95/98/ME), the old CiscoTSP provider(s) do not get put back on the provider list to avoid any looping of the Auto Update process. Ensure that the update options get cleared and the providers get added to provider list manually. Update the CiscoTSP manually or by fixing the problem(s) encountered during Auto Update and reinitializing Cisco TAPI to trigger the Auto Update process.
Note
TSPAutoInstall.exe has user interface screens and can proceed to display these screens only when the telephony service enables the LocalSystem logon option with "Allow Service to interact with Desktop". If the logon option is not set as LocalSystem or logon option is LocalSystem but "Allow Service to interact with Desktop" is disabled, CiscoTSP cannot launch the AutoInstall UI windows and will not continue with AutoInstall.
Ensure that the following logon options are set for the telephony service.
Step 1
Logon as: LocalSystem.
Step 2
Enable the check box: "Allow Service to interact with Desktop."
These telephony service settings, when changed, requires manual restart of the service to take effect.
Step 3
If, after changing the settings to above values, the service does not restart, CiscoTSP checks for "Allow Service to interact with user" to be positive (as the configuration is updated for the service in the database), but AutoInstall UI cannot display. CiscoTSP continues to put the entry for TSPAutoInstall.exe under Registry key RUNONCE. This will help autoinstall to run when the machine reboots the next time.
Uninstalling the Cisco TSP
Use the following procedure to uninstall the Cisco TSP on all supported platforms.
Procedure
Step 1
Open the Control Panel and double-click Add/Remove Programs.
Step 2
Choose Cisco TSP and click Add/Remove.
The Cisco TSP maintenance install dialog box displays.
Step 3
Choose Uninstall: Remove the installed TSP radio button and click Next.
Step 4
Follow the online instructions.
Note
If TSP files are already locked, the installation program prompts you to restart the computer.

Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
