In the example above the Ninja soft phone which supports TAPI is used. Please note this is just an example (unless you are using Ninja), in most cases you should expect to see an entry containing your phone extension number and / or your phone manufacturers name for instance; Cisco, Avaya, Nortel etc. If this is not visible the driver is probably not installed or configured correctly. You can test your TAPI driver is recognised in Windows by using MS Dialer.
The TAPI driver for your phone (possibly with configuration options) should appear under Windows, Control Panel, Phone and Modems, Advanced tab, as in the example above. If it doesn't you will need to obtain the correct driver for your phone system from your manufacturer (e.g. Cisco) and install and configure it as per your manufacturers instructions. Your operating system will have added a number of default items, as in the screen shot above, which are in most cases not relevant. In this example the Global IP Tel TSP is the driver for the Ninja soft phone being used.
The screen shot above shows a connected TAPI device.
