Multi Line TAPI - not working

[3cx newbie]

I'm trying to integrate with a 3CX system from within our .NET Windows based software application.

I have installed and configured the TAPI drivers as per the instructions here https://www.3cx.com/docs/installing-multi-line-tapi/

In control panel, phone and modem section I can see the drivers are installed.



As per the instructions in link above, I've ensured the user 1 in the configuration file is the extension (235) configured in the 3CX client.

To confirm the configuration is correct, I've tried to use the Windows built-in dialer program to make a call. The dialer can see the different lines I've configured in the config file, as shown below.



However, when I try to make a call I receive the error below;



A posting on this forum indicates this could be a result of a missing configuration attribute https://www.3cx.com/community/threads/error-with-3cx-tapi-driver-windows-dialer-exe.44948/

I've added in the missing attribute but no joy.



Any ideas to what this could be ?

I don't think my client is using a Pro license, but will check. Could that make a difference?

Thanks for any help.

Hello! Most probably it's the wrong version of 3CXPhone and/or TAPI plugin.

I don't think my client is using a Pro license, but will check. Could that make a difference?
No difference at all.

Please, do the following:

1. Enable TSP logs by setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\3CX\3CXPhone for Windows\TSPLogEnabled to "1".
   Restart your TAPI tool, select the line and try to make a call. Close TAPI tool.
   
   
2. Collect the following files and info:
   - 3CXPhone's version and extension used;
   - %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\3CXPhone for Windows\PhoneApp\3CXWin8Phone.user.config;
   - %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\3CXPhone for Windows\PhoneApp\3CXPhoneTapiPlugin.dll;
   - %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\3CXMultiLineTapi\3CXTAPI.ini;
   - %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\3CXPhone for Windows\Logs\3CXTapiSP.log;
   - %APPDATA%\3CXPhone for Windows\Logs\3CXPhoneForWindows.log;
   - %SystemRoot%\system32\3CXTapiSrvProvML.tsp.
3. Zip all the data and attach to a PM to me.

Thanks

I've missed this one on the first sight:

This shouldn't be missing. It means, you haven't installed 3CX TAPI Plugin for the phone! The docs say:

After the 3CX Multiline TAPI is complete, you need to download and install the latest version of the 3CX Client for Windows. Download and install 3CX client for Windows from here: http://downloads.3cx.com/downloads/3CXPhoneforWindows_15.5.1632.1.msi

It's an ad-hoc build of 3CXPhone (beta), which contains 3CX Multiline TAPI Plugin configured. You need to install exactly this verison and stick to it even if the phone keeps complaining that a newer version is available.

P.S. This plugin will be integrated in the next version when 3CX Multiline reaches release stage.

Thanks for the reply @ivank

When I try to install the above, it complains that a newer version is already installed. I can't uninstall yet, as the server will require a reboot, but will let you know how I get on once uninstalled and re-installed with the correct version from the link above.

You can also try replacing this file (close 3CXPhone first, rename the original):
"c:\ProgramData\3CXPhone for Windows\PhoneApp\3CXPhoneTapiPlugin.dll"

It won't need a reboot, you can give it a try at least

Is Multi-Line TAPI specifically exempt from the Pro requirement?

Neither plugin installer nor driver itself check for the Pro license. New TAPI installer is made standalone, apart from CRM suite altogether.

mcbsys, I would stick to the official documentation. But now you have the ability to test beta version, still.
