Purpose

This document describes the Cisco Unified TAPI implementation by detailing the functions that comprise the implementation software and illustrating how to use these functions to create applications that support the Cisco Unified Communications hardware, software, and processes. You should use this document with the Cisco Unified Communications Manager manuals to develop applications.

Audience

Cisco intends this document to be for use by telephony software engineers who are developing Cisco telephony applications that require TAPI. This document assumes that the engineer is familiar with both the C or C++ languages and the Microsoft TAPI specification.

This document assumes that you have knowledge of C or C++ languages and the Microsoft TAPI specification.You must also have knowledge or experience in the following areas:

•Extensible Markup Language (XML)

•Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)

•Hypertext Transport Protocol (HTTP)

•Socket programming

•TCP/IP Protocol

•Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) 1.1

•Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

In addition, as a user of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager APIs, you must have a firm understanding of XML Schema. For more information about XML Schema, refer to http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/.

You must have an understanding of Cisco Unified Communications Manager and its applications. See the "Related Documentation" section for Cisco Unified Communications Manager documents and other related technologies.

Cisco Developer Network

The Cisco Developer Network (CDN) portal provides access to multiple Cisco technology developer interfaces and collaborative support communities. CDN also provides formalized support services for these interfaces to enable developers, customers, and partners to accelerate their development. The formalized process provides access to CDN Engineers who are an extension of the product technology engineering teams. CDN Engineers have access to the resources necessary to provide expert support in a timely manner.

The Cisco Developer Network Program is designed for businesses (IHV's and ISV's) interested in going to market with Cisco. The CDN Program enables members to develop compelling solutions that unify data, voice, video, and mobile communications on Cisco's powerful communications platform. The program also allows members to take advantage of Cisco's brand, market leadership position, and installed base to help drive positive business results for themselves and their customers.
