Office communications with
LANCAPI
Activate the LANCAPI server for the outgoing and incoming calls, or allow
only outgoing calls.
In the latter case, the LANCAPI will not respond to incoming calls—to
receive faxes, for example. Permitting outgoing calls only is useful if you
do not have a specific call number available for the LANCAPI.
When the LANCAPI server is activated, enter the call numbers to which the
LANCAPI should respond in the 'Number (MSN)' field. You can enter sev-
eral call numbers separated by semicolons. If you do not enter a call
number here, all incoming calls are reported to LANCAPI.
LANCAPI is preset to use IP port '75' (any private telephony service). Do
not change this setting unless this port is already in use by a different
service in your LAN.
If you do not wish all the computers in the local network to be able to
access the LANCAPI functions, you can define all the authorized users (by
means of their IP addresses) by entering them in the access list.
If you enter more than one call number for the LANCAPI, you can, for
example, provide each individual workstation with a personal fax
machine or personal answering machine. Proceed as follows: When
installing communications programs on the different workstations,
specify the various call numbers to which the program should
respond.
