Telephone Upgrades
Digital and electronic telephones can be upgraded for a number of features; there are no
upgrades for standard telephones. Each of these upgrades shares a circuit with the telephone
that it is connected to and is not considered a station. See Table 5-1 for more information.
Digital Telephone Upgrades
This section describes how to upgrade and configure 2000- series digital telephones for
features and options.
Telephony Application Program Interface (TAPI) Grade (RPCI-DI)
The 2000- series digital telephones can be upgraded with a RPCI-DI unit. Asynchronous
devices, such as personal computers (PCs) and terminals, can be connected to the standard
RS-232 connector of the RPCI-DI. Station users are able to transmit and receive RS-232 data
over the single-wire pair of the RPCI-DI equipped telephone.
TAPI Mode
In the TAPI mode, the PC connected to the RPCI-DI can control the RPCI-DI telephone to
place calls. The PC can also receive Caller ID information received by the RPCI-DI
telephone. When in the TAPI mode, the RPCI-DI is designed to be compatible with Microsoft
TAPI application programs. See Chapter 8 – Computer Telephony Integration for more
information. A RPCI-DI can be connected to any digital telephone circuit.
