We use an Avaya IP Office 403 (Software Release 2.1(15)), and have developed
applications which utilise the Avaya IP Office TAPI2 Service Provider. As
Angus suggested, check to see if this is installed (Phone and Modem Options,
Advanced Tab). Phone Manager and TAPI use Windows Sockets - if you use
WinXP Pro SP2, the BLF (Busy Lamp) will not function and you have to
configure an exception in the Firewall.

The Phone Manager software has three flavours to it - Phone Manager Lite;
Phone Manager Pro and Phone Manager iPro. The software between all three
versions is exactly the same, you configure which users use which flavour
(Lite; Pro or VOIP - relates to iPro) in the User section of the Manager
application and you will need Phone Manager Pro and Phone Manager Pro IP
Audio Enabled licenses (and a voice compression module for IP Phones or IP
Softphones - iPro)

By default, when you install Phone Manager, the option to have TAPI is not
selected. You will need to reboot the client PC after addition of TAPI (if
you didn't install it initially).

TAPI is provided in two flavours for the Avaya IP Office - "Single User" or
"Third Party". The Third Party mode requires a CTI Link Pro License and
allows you to select the Extension Number you wish to use.

The Avaya IP Office is not a Traditional "Third Party TAPI" model - ie, it
doesn't use remotesp.tsp. If you are using a Terminal Services Application
and wish to use TAPI with this, it won't work unless you use "Third Party
Mode".

The Avaya IP Office also loads the TSP at boot time which can be a
disadvantage if you "undock" a computer, put it into standby mode and then
dock it again - the TAPI connection for these situations is lost and a
reboot connected to the LAN is required.

If you are using Phone Manager iPro, you will need to cater for this in your
application if you wish to make use of Call Pickup functionality directly
from your application.

We have found some issues where you use both Phone Manager and the TAPI TSP
simultaneously - particularly with inbound calls - they may both be using
the same port?

We have developed applications which piggy-back on TAPI service providers,
and we have recently developed an SDK for our "Zeronphone CTI" software for
Web Browser enabled applications.

Hope this helps.
