Installing Dialogic Boards (WinNT/W2K)

Intel Corporation System Software Release 5.1

As of March 4, 2003 Intel / Dialogic is now providing support for installing on Windows XP.  According to Intel / Dialogic, this requires System Release 5.1.1 Feature Pack 1 (FP1) for Windows.  Click here for more information.

Fortunately the Dialogic boards and drivers are dependable.  Unfortunately the documentation for installing them is unclear.  For this reason we are supplying this document to aid in their installation and configuration.  This document will help you configure your Dialogic board for use with Microsoft’s Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI) and ExceleTel TeleTools.  However you should still follow the instructions supplied with your Dialogic board, this document will help to guide you through the mountain of information.

It is advisable  to use the latest Dialogic drivers.  Click here to find drivers and service packs for Windows on the Intel  / Dialogic support web site.

Be sure to install the Dialogic TAPI drivers and the Dialogic sample programs. The Dialogic sample programs are handy for making sure that the drivers and the board are working Properly. It is important to know that "Talker32.exe" is the only Dialogic sample program that uses TAPI. All other Dialogic sample programs work directly with the Dialogic low level drivers and their proprietary API.

There are five procedures that you will need to follow:

  • Installing the Dialogic Hardware
  • Installing the Dialogic Software
  • Configuring the Dialogic Drivers
  • Configuring the Dialogic TSP
  • Installing the Dialogic TAPI Wave Driver

You will need to perform these procedures in order!
