2 Installing SimplyPhone for Outlook

This chapter provides information on the following topics:

- requirements in terms of hardware, the platforms, and the telephony infrastructure,

●pre-installation preparations,

●installation in a first-party or third-party environment.

To use SimplyPhone for Outlook features, a TAPI Service Provider for information exchange must be installed between the computer and telephone. This default interface makes the communication system connected accessible for TAPI-compliant applications (for example, dialer, SimplyPhone for Outlook) and facilitates PC-based telephony.

TAPI (Telephone Application Programming Interface) is a uniform interface for the international standard. The TAPI Service Provider is available in first-party and third-party versions.

First-party environment

In TAPI First Party, the telephone is directly connected to your PC (for example, over an adapter or USB) and is also operated directly from your PC without rerouting via a server. TAPI First Party therefore enables all applications compatible with Microsoft-TAPI to operate the connected telephone.

Third-party environment

In TAPI Third Party, the telephone is operated via a central server PC in the network. The server PC provides the required telephone functionality on every client PC over the LAN. Communication between server and clients is completely transparent and is conducted over the interfaces defined by Microsoft. Microsoft-TAPI-compatible applications and enhanced CTI solutions (Computer Telephony Integration) can therefore be implemented over the LAN.

2.2 Preparing for installation on a client PC

The following sections describe how to prepare for the client installation of SimplyPhone for Outlook so that a user can independently install a network server.

2.2.1 Preparations for default installation

First copy the folder

\Software\SimplyPhone for Outlook 4.0

from the CD-ROM to a network folder which can be accessed by the user for installing Simply-Phone for Outlook.

Make a copy of the file _Locations.ini and name it Locations.ini. The _Locations.ini file should remain unchanged and be kept as a template.

Disable the write protection on the files SP_Inst.ini and Locations.ini.

The data in the ini files is used to control the installation operation or is transferred to the client PC as registry entries (see "Syntax of the registry entries").

2.2.1.1 Entering telephony data

Open the Locations.ini file with a text editor to add location-specific data. This data is entered in the client PC's telephony settings as a new location with the name .

Locations.ini - [Default] - UserCountry=

Enter the country code, for example, UserCountry=49 for Germany.

Locations.ini - [Default] - UserArea=

Enter the area code, for example, UserArea=89 for Munich.

Locations.ini - [Default] - UserNumber=

Enter the main station number, for example, UserNumber=12345.

Locations.ini - [Default] - UserExternal=

Enter the access code for national calls, for example, UserExternal=0.

Locations.ini - [Default] - UserForeign=

Enter the access code for international calls, for example, UserForeign=0.

Installing SimplyPhone for Outlook

Preparing for installation on a client PC

2.2.1.2 Entering a server for partner identification

The file CRIRemote.cfg is used to access data associated with a partner identification service.

Use a text editor to open the file CRIRemote.cfg in the folder \SPCr\dbserver to set the server for partner identification.

CRIRemote.cfg - DBEnv.ServerAddress=SPSERVER:4999 

Enter the name or the IP address of the CRI server for \SPSERVER\. Do not change the port number (:4999).

SIEMENS HiPath SimplyPhone - Entering a server for partner identification - 1

For more information on partner identification, see Chapter 3, "Partner identification service" and Section 5.6.3, "Switch for partner identification".

Multiple SimplyPhone for Outlook partner identification services

If you want to use more than one partner identification service, the file names of the configuration files must start with CRIRemote.

Example:

CRIRemote_Service1.cfg and CRIRemote_Service2.cfg.

Contents of SPCr_svc.cfg:

CallerIdentServerList=

CRI, CRIRemote_Service1, CRIRemote_Service2

2.2.1.3 Entering a server for paging

In the folder \SPCr\dbserver, open the file

  • Ex55.cfg for operation with Exchange 5.5 Server
    • Ex2K.cfg for operation with Exchange 2000 Server
    • Ex2003.cfg for operation with Exchange 2003 Server

use a text editor to define the server for paging:

[Ex55|Ex2K|Ex2003].cfg - DBEnv.ServerAddress=SPSERVER:[389|3268] 

Enter the name or the IP address of the ActiveDirectory server for \SPSERVER\. Do not change the port number.

The Exchange Server name from the current profile is used in Outlook 2000, Outlook XP, and Outlook 2003 which means that no manual change is necessary here.

2.2.1.4 Specifying data

Specify the path to the Setup.exe installation program in the configured network folder for users.

SIEMENS HiPath SimplyPhone - Specifying data - 1

A TAPI provider must be installed on the client PC so that telephony functions can be used there.

2.2.1.5 Preparation complete

The preparations for installing SimplyPhone for Outlook are now complete.

Please note that the above descriptions only relate to a standard scenario. Additional information is provided in subsequent chapters.

2.2.2 Preparations with multiple locations

2.2.2.1 Offering a location for selection

You must remove the standard Default entry in the SP_Inst.ini file to let the user choose from a selection of multiple locations during installation.

SP_Inst.ini - [GENERAL] - Location= 

SIEMENS HiPath SimplyPhone - Offering a location for selection - 1

You will find a detailed description of the other parameters in Section 5.3.1, "SP_Inst.ini of the client component".

2.2.2.2 Duplicating location-specific data

Open the Locations.ini file with a text editor, duplicate the entire section (including [Default]) for each location and edit the entries in the duplicated section(s) as described in the section "Preparations for default installation".

Replace the [Default] name with different location names, which appear as selection options during installation, for example, [Plant, east], [Plant, west].

Enter the name of the data source configuration file for each location under CRconfigFile=.

Locations.ini - [<Location name>] - CRconfigFile= 

The entry (for example, CRconfigFile=MyCompany.cfg) must be available as a file, see next section.

2.2.2.3 Duplicating data source configuration files

Make a copy of the file SPCr_svc.cfg in the folder \SPCr with the name that you entered under CRconfigFile=, for example, MyCompany.cfg. The file SPCr_svc.cfg should remain unchanged and be kept as a template.

2.2.3 Preparations for tie lines

If tie lines are used between different locations, the tie line number must be converted into a number in canonical format. Otherwise, partner identification is not possible for a call that uses the tie line.

You can do this by opening the Locations.ini file with a text editor and adding the following parameters.

Locations.ini - [Default] - ShortDial[n]=
Locations.ini - [Default] - ShortDialEx[n]= 

The tie line number is entered in canonical format in front of the phone number and separated from it by a semicolon, for example, ShortDial1=96; +49 89 636. The name of the tie line is then added followed by the country code,

for example, ShortDialEx1=Neuperlach;49.

If there are multiple tie lines for a single location, the inputs are numbered consecutively on entry (ShortDial2= ... etc.).

2.2.4 Preparations for the terminal server

The trace file name must be specified in the registry if the trace is active.

The default trace is output to the installation directory with the default name. Multiple versions of the same output are not permitted as they would cause mutual blocking here. Therefore, we recommend creating the trace files on a share that is then unique for each user.

The trace files that must be output under

HKEY_Current_User\SOFTWARE\Siemens\SimplyPhone\Common\Settings

are as follows:

- TraceFilename

2.2.5 Assigning lines on the terminal server

CAP TSP lines (with or without fixed authentication) must be configured if Microsoft TAPI is implemented. All necessary lines are configured on the terminal server. However, the operating system does not allow you to assign specific lines to a particular user.

All of the following settings must be manually entered in the registry by the terminal server administrator (or via scripts). These settings have not yet been automated.

2.2.5.1 Assigning lines for the dialer

To prevent users from selecting unauthorized lines, the terminal server administrator can assign lines to users.

HKEY_Current_User\Software\Siemens\SimplyPhone\Entry\Settings

AssignedLine*: * = 0 - Number of assigned lines.

: Name of the line (as specified in the corresponding TSP configuration dialog).

Installing SimplyPhone for Outlook

Preparing for installation on a client PC

Line assignment requirements

●Lines can only be assigned using TAPI.

  • At least one key must be available with a value. If this is not the case, line assignment is deactivated and the user can select all available lines.
  • The asterisk * represents numbering in ascending order.
  • The process of reading the list is interrupted if a key's value is empty or if the key * does not exist.

Examples

Configured lines:

CAP Line 122

CAP Line 123

...

CAP Line 140

AssingnedLine0 = "CAP Line 122"
AssingnedLine1 = "CAP Line 123" 

One of these two lines can be selected.

AssingnedLine0 = "" Line assignment deactivated. 
AssingnedLine0 = ""
AssingnedLine1 = "CAP Line 123" 

Line assignment deactivated.

AssingnedLine0 = "CAP Line 122"
AssingnedLine1 = "CAP Line 123"
AssingnedLine3 = "CAP Line 124" 

Only one of the first two lines can be selected.

| AssingnedLine0 = "CAP Line 122"
| AssingnedLine1 = "CAP Line 123"
| AssingnedLine2 = ""
| AssingnedLine3 = "CAP Line 124" 

Only one of the first two lines can be selected.

AssingnedLine0 = "CAP Line 155"
AssingnedLine1 = "CAP Line 156"
AssingnedLine2 = "CAP Line 124" 

Only CAP line 124 can be selected.

2.2.5.2 Assigning lines for the teambar

To prevent users from selecting lines that are not assigned to their team, the terminal server administrator can assign team lines to users.

HKEY_Current_User\Software\Siemens\SimplyPhone\Solutions\Teambar\Member0 

AssignedLine*: * = 0 - Number of assigned lines.

: Name of the line (as specified in the corresponding TSP configuration dialog).

Lines are assigned as described in the previous section.

2.2.6 Preparations for licensing

In SimplyPhone for Outlook V4.0, licensing is performed with HiPath License Management. A distinction is made during installation as to whether First Party TAPI or Third Party TAPI is involved. The setups are different for these two variants.

When using SimplyPhone at a First Party TAPI (for example, CallBridge Collection V2.0), HiPath License Management is operated in "Remote" mode. When using SimplyPhone at a Third Party TAPI (for example, CAP V3.0), HiPath License Management is operated in "Floating Standard" mode. The "Floating Restricted" or "Floating Reserved" modes are not supported.

The following diagram illustrates SimplyPhone licensing in the HLM environment.

The CLA (Customer License Agent) and CLM (Customer License Management) components in HiPath License Management can be installed on the same client or a server.

CLA controls licensing based on the licenses configured with CLM.

In the case of First Party TAPI, CLA installation is performed as part of the SimplyPhone setup. This can be blocked, however, with the INI file SP_Inst.ini. This is controlled with the parameter

InstallCLA = True/False (CLA installation/no CLA installation)

In the case of Third Party TAPI, CLA installation is not performed as part of the SimplyPhone setup but can be carried out with the INI file SP_Inst.ini. This is controlled with the parameter

InstallCLA = True/False (CLA installation/no CLA installation)

When installing the CLA in the course of SimplyPhone setup, the CLA is installed in the folder Licensing\License Agent under the SimplyPhone installed. The user requires write authorization here to save the license file or the license key. After installation, CLA is automatically started as a service and appears as the process cla.exe in the Task Manager.

CLM is not installed as part of the SimplyPhone setup. However, CLA and CLM are supplied on the installation CD.

The CLA is automatically installed during first-party installation. The CLA is not installed during third-party installation and must, therefore, be provided on a server in the customer network. Initial startup of SimplyPhone is not possible without CLA.

The IP address of this server and the port number of the CLA (this must be set during CLA installation) must be made known to the SimplyPhone. These parameters can be set during installation with the file SP_Inst.ini. CLA can also be used to set the number of connection retries and the timeout for connection retries.

These settings can be found in the section [HLM].

CLAIpAddress IP address of the CLA Default: 127.0.0.1
CLAIpPort Port number of the CLA Default: 61740
CLAConnectionRetries Connection retries with the CLADefault: 3
CLAConnectionTimeout Timeout for CLA connection retry in msDefault: 5000 (5s)

The values set are copied to the registry under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Siemens\SimplyPhone\Solutions\HLMData

These values are copied to the user area the first time SimplyPhone is started up and can be modified there for each user:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Siemens\SimplyPhone\Solutions\HLMData

The above-mentioned values can be modified during live operation in the Settings dialog on the Licensing tab (accessed via the SimplyPhone context menu).

Another setting in the installation file SP_Inst.ini controls the mode used and the CLA licensing files:

UsedTAPIServiceProvider=FirstPartyTAPI/ThirdPartyTAPI

The FirstPartyTAPI setting is intended for use with CallBridge Collection, CallBridge for Desktop, and optiClient. In this case, the HLM mode is "Remote". ThirdPartyTAPI is for TAPI120, TAPI 170, and CAP. In this case, the HLM mode is "Floating Standard". This setting should not be modified as it is used for license generation.

The SimplyPhone installation directory contains grace period configuration files. These let the user operate the system for a trial period of 30 days and must not be modified.

2.2.7 Configuring additional data sources

Both the contact retrieval and the partner identification services are processed using the LDAP log. The following table explains the two terms.

Procedure Contactretrieval Partner identification
What you have: forexample, name, department,etc. of the contact you want to re-trievePhone number
What you are looking for:Phone number Name, department,etc. of the contact you want to retrieve
Sample application:The user wants to call someone but only knows the party's name and department.The name and other caller-specific data should be displayed for an in-coming call.

The default application is as follows:

– Data sources: private Outlook contacts, public Outlook contacts, the global Exchange address book, and customer-specific LDAP data sources.
– In private Outlook contacts, the local CRI server is used for contact retrieval and partner identification, whereas the remote partner identification service is used for public Outlook contacts.
– The global Exchange address book search is performed directly in the Exchange Server or, in the case of Windows 2000, in the ActiveDirectory server.
- The remote partner identification service is used for partner identification with the global Exchange address book.

SIEMENS HiPath SimplyPhone - Configuring additional data sources - 1

Restrictions for public contact folders and public contacts.

"Public contact folders" and "Public contacts" refer to contact folders and contacts in the local InfoStore on the Exchange server. You can access these kinds of contact folders or contacts via Outlook's list of folders and create them (with administrative rights) under "Public Folders/All Public Folders".

This does not include contacts available with Exchange 2000 and later that must be entered directly in the Active Directory and that can be accessed by end users via the Outlook-Contacts. These are not supported.

The following is a list of the data source configuration files available for the installation share in the directory \SPCr\dbserver.

The file ... contains configuration data ...
CRI.cfgfor partner identification in private Outlook/Exchange contact folders on the client PC.
CRIREMOTE.cfgfor partner identification in the global Exchange address book and public Exchange contact folders. For information on using multiple partner identification services, see Section 2.2.1.2 on page 2-8.
Ex55.cfgfor contact retrieval in the global Exchange 5.5 address book.
Ex2K.cfgfor contact retrieval in the global Exchange 2000 address book.
Ex2003.cfgfor contact retrieval in the global Exchange 2003 address book.
Outlook.cfgfor contact retrieval in personal Outlook contact folders.
Contact.cfgfor contact retrieval in public Outlook contact folders. A partner identification server is required to use Contact.cfg.
.cfg(Example: SCD.cfg)for contact retrieval and partner identification in a customer-specific LDAP database - in this example in the Siemens-specific SCD (Siemens Corporate Directory).

The following overview provides an example of the interdependencies between the data source configuration files.

Random LDAP data sources can also be configured.

To do this

  • you must make an appropriate entry in the main configuration file (default: SPCr_svc.cfg),
  • you must create a CFG file in the folder \SPCr\dbserver; this file should contain suitable attribute mapping for the relevant LDAP server.

SIEMENS HiPath SimplyPhone - To do this - 1

Do not make any changes to the mapping list (entries, such as, AttrMap.dn = dn, etc.) for the existing data source configuration files because these entries govern correct communication between SimplyPhone for Outlook and the server.

SIEMENS HiPath SimplyPhone - To do this - 2

The server MUST be correctly entered under DBEnv.ServerAddress in the data source configuration file used, as described in the sections "Entering a server for paging" and "Entering a server for partner identification".

More information on the syntax of the configuration files and attribute mapping can be found in the Appendix.

Data source configuration files on client or server PCs

There are two ways to use the data source configuration files:

- On a client PC

During the runtime SimplyPhone for Outlook accesses a copy of the folder \SPCr that was copied to the client PC during setup.

Advantages: The search function is available even if the server share cannot be accessed. As the configuration files only have to be read locally, performance is generally a little higher.

This is the default scenario; copying is performed automatically during installation.

- On a server PC

SimplyPhone for Outlook uses the folder \SPCr on the server share.

Advantage: Changes to the data source configuration files take immediate effect without changes on the client PC.

In this case, the change must be entered in the file SP_Inst.ini. To do this, open the file SP_Inst.ini with a text editor and delete the parameter value USE_LOCAL for the following entry:

SP_Inst.ini - [DATA_SOURCES] - CRConfigPath= 

SIEMENS HiPath SimplyPhone - - On a server PC - 1

  • If you delete the USE_LOCAL value in the SP_Inst.ini file in the [DATA_SOURCES] section under CRConfigPath=, then the local configuration files are overwritten with the configuration files provided by setup, even in the case of updates.
  • If you leave the USE_LOCAL value in the SP_Inst.ini file in the [DATA_SOURCES] section under CRConfigPath=, then the new value CR-ConfigNew= entered in the same section becomes effective.

The following applies:

CRConfigNew=False (default):

the local configuration files are maintained and the configuration files provided by the setup are only copied to the destination computer if it doesn't already have any configuration files, that is, in the case of first-time installation.

CRConfigNew=True:

the local configuration files are overwritten by the configuration files provided with the setup.

2.3.4 Starting SimplyPhone for Outlook V4.0

SIEMENS HiPath SimplyPhone - Starting SimplyPhone for Outlook V4.0 - 1

Before putting SimplyPhone into operation, a CLA (Customer License Agent) must be installed on the local client PC for correct licensing and so that SimplyPhone starts properly. The CLA is automatically installed at the same time as SimplyPhone.

If you can access the CLA, a 30-day trial license is available for SimplyPhone. A license key for permanent operation must be generated on the CLS (Central License Server) during this 30-day term (grace period time). This license key is then transferred to CLA with the help of SimplyPhone.

The license key is automatically copied to the Licensing\License Agent\import directory under the Siemens directory located in the Windows program directory (e.g.: C:\Programs).

  1. Start MS Outlook. SimplyPhone for Outlook then starts automatically.
  2. The following dialog appears when the Outlook startup is complete. If you choose the option Start always with Outlook, SimplyPhone for Outlook automatically starts at the same time as Outlook and this prompt stops appearing. If you select the option Ask me on Outlook Startup, this prompt appears every time you start Outlook. Select one of the options and click Start Now.

3.4.2 Warnings in Outlook

Problem description

Microsoft has issued an update for Outlook 2000 with enhanced security features for greater protection against virus attacks and the like. This product is called Outlook 2000 Update SR1: Extended E-mail Security. When using this application or else Outlook XP or Outlook 20003 which incorporate these security features, Outlook displays warnings whenever an application tries to access address data (for example, in the contacts). But this is exactly what the partner identification service is designed to do!

Solution

To solve this type of problem, Microsoft created a way to modify the security settings for Outlook. This, however, is subject to the following restrictions:

  • Outlook is operated with Exchange Server
  • The user employs a profile with which incoming e-mails are routed either to the Exchange mailbox or an offline folder (.ost file).

The security settings cannot be modified, therefore, if the user employs another mail server or if he or she uses a profile with personal folders (.pst file). For more information on modifying the security update, go to:

http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2000/journ/OutSecUpdate.htm

To change the security settings, the administrator must create a specific public folder on the Exchange Server and output a specific Outlook form.

A preconfigured Outlook form can be found in the same folder as this document.

A set of step-by-step instructions follows.

Changes on the Exchange Server

To carry out these changes, you must have appropriate Exchange Server rights.

  1. Log on to Exchange Server with Outlook 2000, Outlook XP or Outlook 2003.
  2. Check if there is a folder named Outlook Security Settings in the root of all public folders. If not, generate it. Set the rights for this folder in such a way that all users have read authorization for it.
  3. If the folder Outlook Security Settings already exists, check if it contains an object with the subject Default Security Settings.

If so, proceed as follows:

  1. Open the Default Security Settings object. Click the Programmatic Settings tab. Set the following lines to Automatically Approve:

  2. When sending items via Outlook object model

  3. When accessing the address book via CDO
    – When accessing address information via CDO

  4. Close the form and confirm the memory prompt with Yes.

If not, proceed as follows:

  1. Then open the file Default Security Settings.oft in the Security folder in Windows Explorer. You are then prompted to select an Outlook folder. Select the folder Outlook Security Settings.
  2. In the open form, select the entry Publish Form under Forms in the Tools menu. Set the folder Outlook Security Settings in the drop-down list at the upper edge of the window. Enter the following in the field Display Name: Outlook Security Form. Click Publish.
  3. Close the form and acknowledge the memory prompt with Yes.

Checking

Check the following registry key on the client: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\SecurityCheckAdminSettings. This key must be set to 1 so that the default security settings work as described above.

4 Troubleshooting/FAQ

This chapter provides information on the following topics:

  • Licensing errors
    ●No response from SimplyPhone for Outlook component
    ●Partner identification not working
  • Calling only possible from personal contacts
  • Outlook stops responding

4.1 Licensing errors

The license server is inaccessible

SimplyPhone cannot go into operation if a CLA is not found during initial startup. Check the IP address configured or the IP port of the CLA.

License detection error

An error was detected when performing licensing with HiPath License Management. Check the connection to the CLS or the MAC address (registration key).

4.2 No response from SimplyPhone for Outlook component

If one or more of the program components in SimplyPhone for Outlook stops responding, you can close all of the SimplyPhone for Outlook processes one by one.

To do this, start the program CInTasks.exe. All SimplyPhone for Outlook tasks are removed following program execution. To start SimplyPhone for Outlook, exit Outlook and start Outlook once again.

Troubleshooting/FAQ

Partner identification not working

4.3 Partner identification not working

This can have several causes. Proceed as follows:

– Ensure that the phone number in your contacts is saved in canonical format.

- Check the telephony applet to see if the current location contains the correct data. In particular, the name of the location must contain the main number of the telephone system.

4.4 Calling only possible from personal contacts

The restriction may be caused by the fact that you are operating Outlook in Internet Mail Only mode.

To change e-mail support

  • in Outlook 2000, select the option Corporate or Workgroup under Tools | Options | Mail Delivery | Reconfigure Mail Support... and click Next.
  • in Outlook 2003 and Outlook XP select the menu Tools | Options | Mail Setup | E-mail Accounts

Follow the on-screen instructions.

4.5 Outlook stops responding

If Outlook stops responding and the program cannot be closed in the usual manner, you can also close the Outlook task manually.

Press the keys ++++ simultaneously on your keyboard (in Windows 2000: select Task Manager), open the Close Application window, choose the entry Outlook from the list, and click End Task.

4.6 Increasing performance by deactivating features

Certain features can be deactivated as required to accelerate workflows under Outlook with SimplyPhone for Outlook.

Right-click the SimplyPhone for Outlook phone icon on the windows taskbar to display a context menu. Select Settings. In the General tab, you can change two default settings in the "Command Bar (Outlook restart mandatory)" field.

  1. Activate the "Show Command Bar in Explorer only" option.

If this option is activated, the SimplyPhone for Outlook toolbar is only displayed in the main Outlook window. This increases performance.

Outlook must be restarted for this change to take effect.

  1. Deactivate the option "Status Indication of Button 'Call Initiation'".

If this feature is active, partner identification is started in the background when a user selects a mail. The "Call Initiation" button 🔔 is activated if the system identifies the partner. Deactivating this function increases performance.

Outlook must be restarted for this change to take effect.

Appendix

Program architecture

The Phone Manager (SPTel.exe) recognizes the relevant telephony events and passes them on to the Rules Engine (SpRules.dll).

The Rules Engine consults the local Contact Retrieval Index server via the socket protocol LDAP and attempts to find data, such as the ID of its Outlook contact, relating to the caller on the basis of the telephone number.

If a remote CRI service which provides the relevant data from the public contact folders and the global address book as an index is available and has been configured, it is also used to identify the partner and other LDAP servers can be used.

The Rules Engine opens up the call dialog and/or uses the call data interface to consult the Outlook Object Library and requests Outlook to create and save objects or to send messages.

5.1.2 Partner identification

CRI Server

CRISvr.exe is an LDAP server, which contains data which is extracted from the contact files of Outlook/Exchange or from the global Exchange address book. Its function is to make this data accessible via indexed telephone number entries so that a high-performance search via telephone numbers is possible.

CRI Manager

The CRISrv is first loaded and is checked against the data in Outlook/Exchange periodically by the Contact Retrieval Index Manager (CRIMngr.exe). The user can specify for the CRI Manager on the client whether the comparison should only be triggered manually or whether it should take place under certain conditions when SimplyPhone for Outlook starts up. (Partner Identification tab in the Settings dialog). The CRI Manager on the server side is installed as an NT service that is started automatically when the PC boots. It starts CRISrv.exe itself. Comparison of the data of the CRISrv with the Exchange data by the CRI Manager is time-controlled.

Appendix

Program architecture

When comparing the data, the CRI Manager scans the contact folder in Outlook/Exchange or the global address book via the ActiveX interface "CDO" and writes the relevant data to a file CRIData.txt. It then calls up the component CRISvrCt.exe, which uses this data to generate indices and prepares the data for CRISvr. It then stops CRISvr.exe, updates its database and then reboots CRISvr. During this phase the CRI server is unavailable for partner identification for a short time (a few seconds). The intermediate file CRIData.txt is then deleted.

SIEMENS HiPath SimplyPhone - Appendix - 1

You can prevent the temporary file CRIData.txt from being deleted during updating, for example, for troubleshooting. You must set the registry entry UpdateSave-CRIData=True for this; for more information, see Page 5-27.

5.1.3 Components and processes

All of the necessary processes are started and finished by the Outlook add-in. The individual processes that should be started or finished can be controlled via the registry (Registry entry startup, see Section 5.3.1, "SP_Inst.ini of the client component"). Typically, the dialer, the Contact Retrieval Manager and the Inbox Manager are started.

Outlook add-in

The file SphoneOL9.dll is registered during the installation process as an Outlook COM add-in and runs in the processing area of Outlook.

Call Control Manager

The Call Control Manager is implemented as the component SPTel.exe. It is used as a COM server by the Outlook add-in, the dialer, and the address book.

Dialer

The Dialer is implemented in the component Ctalkp.exe. The Rules Engine SPRules.dll also runs in its processing area.

Address book

The address book is implemented as the component SphoneAB.exe. It is called up via COM by the dialer and the Outlook add-in.

Contact Retrieval Manager

The interaction of the components CRIMngr.exe, CRISvr.exe and CRISvrCt.exe is described above under Architecture.

Contact Retrieval Client

The SPCr.exe process executes all LDAP accesses for paging and for partner identification both on the local and the remote CRISvr, as well as on the LDAP address books (Exchange global address book and Siemens Corporate Directory).

If a data source configuration file (.cfg) is used, SPCR checks if port 4999 is used. In a terminal server environment configuration (TerminalServer=TRUE), this port number is replaced by the assigned port number (CRILdapPort). If an assigned port number is not found, the default port number 4999 is assigned.

The Contact Retrieval Client is used by the address book, the dialer, the Rules Engine and the Inbox Manager.

Inbox Manager

The Inbox Manager SPOMEvnt.exe regularly checks the inbox for entries that have to be converted into journal or job entries on the basis of the user settings.

The PopUp Manager SPPopUp.exe controls caller pop-up display at the mouse pointer.

Reschedule

Reschedule is activated with SPReschedule.exe. The "Reschedule" icon then appears on the "SimplyPhone for Outlook" toolbar and in the dialer. The icon activates as soon as a task or journal item is selected.

Team Assistant (for third-party environment only)

The Team Assistant is activated with SPTeam.exe. The Team Assistant appears as a separate window that can also be displayed as a desktop bar. You can enable or disable automatic Team Assistant appearance on startup with an option under Settings I General.

A team can contain up to 20 members. You must set up a separate TAPI line with the relevant TAPI Service Provider (for example, TAPI170, CAP V2.0, CAP V3.0) for each team member. SimplyPhone detects the TAPI lines configured on startup and automatically generates a team member from each line.

To use the Team Assistant, you need a valid HiPath License Management license for third-party TAPI. When operating with CAP V2.0/V3.0, valid CAP licenses are needed for every monitored line.

Appendix

Program architecture

Example:

A team of three persons (A,B,C) is using the Team Assistant. Member A uses a line and has access to B and C over the Team Assistant. Member B uses a line and can access A and C over the Team Assistant, member C uses a line and can access A and B. In total, three valid CAP licenses are needed.

TAPI 170 does not differentiate between licenses for open and monitored lines. Every team member needs a TAPI 170 license in this case.

When operating with CAP V2.0/3.0, you need a password to access a TAPI line. You are requested to enter this password at the first access attempt.

5.2 Configuring telephony data

5.2.1 Overview of TAPI functionality

A TAPI Service Provider that supports TAPI V2.0 (or higher) is required to run SimplyPhone for Outlook. SimplyPhone for Outlook has been released for use with the following providers:

- 1st Party TAPI

  • CallBridge Collection V2.0 (Callbridge TA/TU (CorNet TS) V2.0, CallBridge IP V2.0)
  • Callbridge TA/TU (CorNet WP) V2.0
    – Callbridge for Desktop V1.45 (CorNet WP Hicom 300 US R6.5, 6.6)
  • optiClient 130 V4.0

-3rd Party TAPI

  • HiPath CAP V2.0
  • HiPath CAP V3.0
  • TAPI 120 V2.0
  • TAPI 170 V2.0

5.2.2 System requirements for functionality

The telephony functions are available in various different circumstances. The functions that can actually be executed depend on which functions the telephony service provider indicates as being executable – depending on the current status of the telephone. The following table shows which functions are basically available from the various providers.

5.2.3 Location data for telephony

SimplyPhone for Outlook uses the location data that is specified as the current location in the Control Panel's telephony applet.

In this regard, the CO number of the telephone system must be contained in the name of the location as a partial character string.

By adding (UTT) to a location name, it is possible to stipulate that the TAPI function Line-TranslateAdress be used for conversion from the canonical number format to the dialable number format for outgoing calls (instead of the SimplyPhone for Outlook-specific algorithm).

Appendix

Configuring telephony data

If you add (CMF) to a location name, a right-aligned comparison is performed between the phone number supplied by the telephone system and the phone numbers in the address data for partner identification in incoming calls.

If you add (POL=x) to a location number, 1 is the only country code that works (for example, USA, Canada). x can be either 1, 2 or 3. In the case of incoming, internal call, the last digits of the prefix are not considered for partner identification.

If you add (DMC) to a location number, 49 (Germany) is the only country code that works. This means that for partner identification, the system only searches for numbers in canonical format in the case of incoming calls; it does not also search for extensions (Disable Multivalue Compare).

SIEMENS HiPath SimplyPhone - Appendix - 1

These parameters can be set in the file locations.ini prior to installation (see Section 5.3.2, "Client component Locations.ini").

5.2.4 Configuring the TAPI line

The Select Line entry in the context menu of the telephone icon in the task bar opens up a dialog for selecting a TAPI line.

The dialog also contains a Line... button, which brings you to the service provider's configuration dialog, as well as a Location... button, which brings you to the configuration dialog for location data.

5.2.5 Configuring tie lines

The Enter Fixed Lines entry in the context menu of the telephone icon in the task bar opens up a dialog for editing fixed lines. These are required for partner identification so that callers who use fixed lines can also be identified.

Fixed lines are saved in the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, in other words user-specifically. But they can also be edited globally for each installation. If data is copied from the registry branch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to HKEY_CURRENT_USER after installing an upgrade, any user-specific fixed lines that already exist are retained.

5.3 Syntax of the ini files

The most important entries in SP_inst.ini and locations.ini are explained below. For more explanations, refer to the two ini files (in the SimplyPhone installation directory).

5.3.1 SP\_Inst.ini of the client component

Section Entry Description
[GENERAL]_KeysCopied=4100During installation all registry entries are written to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE branch. SimplyPhone for Outlook copies user-specific entries from there to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER branch at startup if the _KeysCopied under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE is greater than the value under HKEY_CURRENT_USER. Thus by raising the value in SP_Inst.ini modified values can come into effect for all users following a new installation. Default: 4100

\Common\Settings\Telephony
\Entry\Settings
\Solutions\
\Solutions CallData
\Solutions\CallerIdentification
\Solutions\CPhoneOutlook
\Solutions\HLMData
\Solutions\Teambar
\TripelM 

When SimplyPhone for Outlook starts up the user-specific values are copied to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER section of the registry if the ...\Common\Settings_KeysCopied value under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE is greater than the relevant value under HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

If values that were changed under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE are to become effective for all us-

Appendix

Syntax of the registry entries

ers, the value of _KeysCopied under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE has to be increased by 1. If you want to change registry entries by means of a new installation, this value can also be increased in the SP_Inst.ini file.

SIEMENS HiPath SimplyPhone - Appendix - 1

In the case of switches that can have one of the values True or False, the effect of the True setting is always described in the description column. Default settings are underlined.

The U column specifies how to proceed for this entry when copying registry entries from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to HKEY_CURRENT_USER:

L: (Leave) entry is not copied

C: (Copy) entry is copied, overwrites old value if necessary

M: (Merge) entry is copied if the value has not yet been set

Entries marked with L are read during the runtime of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, all other entries are read during the runtime of HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

Columns C and S show whether or not the entry is relevant to the client or the server.

5.5.3 Attribute mapping

The definitions for attribute mapping have the form:

represents the readable names for the internal attributes of SimplyPhone for Outlook.

For partner identification, the LDAP server field AttrMap.Filter PI in the cfg file must contain a rational entry. The default value for SCD searches is PhoneNumbers. This is a specially defined field in SCD that can be used to perform an advanced search based on numbers. The numbers are therefore stored in international format. If this field is left blank, there is a risk that a search that does not produce any results will end in a timeout.

5.6 Command line switch

5.6.1 Setup file switches

File name: Setup.exe

Switch Description
/S Performs thecomplete client installation without any interaction. To deactivate individual installation dialogs, you can enable the appropriate switches in the file SP_Inst.ini, see "SP_Inst.ini of the client component" on Page 5-11.For non-interactive installation and when using third-party TAPI providers (for example, CAP), you must enter the value 000000 in the Locations.ini file under UserNumber= so that a dialog for entering the extension number appears the first time you start the system.
/v Permits theattachment of various path information (examples):/v"INIFILE=\"D:\Folder 1\SP_Inst.ini\"" indicates the path and name of another ini file which should contain the Locations.ini file in the directory./v"INSTALLDIR=\"C:\Folder 2\"" indicates the path of an installation directory.

5.6.2 Switch for the Dialer

File name: CTALKP.EXE

Switch Description
The specified file should contain a telephone number which is dialed. (This function can also be executed while the process cTalkp.exe is running.)

5.6.3 Switch for partner identification

File name: CRIMNGR.EXE (Contact Retrieval Manager)

Switch Description
/StartCRI The contact retrieval server is started.
/StopCRI The contact retrieval server is closed.
/UpdateCRI [/Show-Progress] [/Logfile]A new contact retrieval database is created. The contact retrieval server is then started./ShowProgress: the individual steps for generating the contact retrieval database are displayed in a window./LogFile: the steps required for generating the contact retrieval database are contained in a log file.
/I[,]The application CRIMngr is installed as NT Service SimplyPhone Partner Identification. The account under which the service is to run can also be specified (with a password).
/uThe SimplyPhone Partner Identification service is uninstalled.

In a terminal server environment configuration, only the startup parameter for CRISVR.EXE is changed (in accordance with CRILdapPort). The folder names that feature the port number (4999) remain unchanged.

/Stop The InboxManager closes a second instance of itself that may be open and then closes down.

Appendix

Product integration

5.7 Product integration

5.7.1 Integration with HiPath ComAssistant

Outlook entries can be generated as required for unanswered incoming calls using ComAssistant (SimplyPhone for Web). In this case, SimplyPhone for Outlook does not generate any Outlook entries itself for those types of call. Instead, it checks the ComAssistant inbox at regular intervals for this type of call and then converts these into the Outlook entries that have been specified in the settings.

5.7.2 Interaction with Teambase

The configuration file Comfo.ini is only required for Teambase integration; it is still supported for reasons of compatibility.

If Comfo family products have not been installed on the PC (ComfoDesk, Mail.D, ComfoPhone, etc.) and if the file comfo.ini is to be used, the system variable PATH has to be extended as follows:

PATH=%PATH%;<ComfoDir>;<ComfoDir>\CDLL 

where ComfoDir is the directory containing the file comfo.ini.

The following entries can be made in the section [CTalkP]:

- teambase=

•overwrite=[0|1]

- AdrPathCPhoneAB=

This entry has priority over the relevant registry entry and it can also contain (recursively) the path name of another configuration file.
