Ring tone support

[s***@yahoo.com]

Hi,

Currently I am developing a TSP which also implements a soft phone(even the RTP is handled in the TSP). As of now I do not support "playing the ring tone"(i.e when TSP gets a call, user needs to hear a ringing tone) in the TSP.

Should I support "Ring tone" in TSP, or should it be supported by the TAPI application? Is there any standard for this??

Appreciate any help on this.

Regards,
Rohan

Rohan,
usually the ringing is handled by the telephony device / PBX / PSTNa and not by a TAPI app.
A TAPI app may want to *additionally* handle ringing by means of phoneSetRing().

So it is suggested to handle this by the soft phone / TSP by default.
The TSP can additionally implement TSPI_phoneSetRing() etc.

In addition you may want to see LINECALLSTATE_ACCEPTED vs. LINECALLSTATE_OFFERING and implement both, of course with TSPI_lineAccept() in addition to TSPI_lineAnswer().

All supported features need to be represented in the according Status and Capabilities fields.

Hi Andreas,

Thank you for your response.

I have implemented the "Ringtone" as part of the TSP which is working fine in Windows XP.
But on Windows7/Vista "Playing the wav" files do not work. Will create a new thread for the same.
