Connection / TAPI
The TAPI category of the Session Options dialog allows you to configure your TAPI connections and redial strategy for busy numbers. The TAPI category only appears when you have selected TAPI as your Protocol.
You can use the TAPI protocol to "share" your computer’s modem with other applications. For example, if you have a fax application that is TAPI compliant, you will be able to have both SecureCRT and your fax software open at the same time. Although both programs cannot use the modem at exactly the same time, TAPI compliant programs can be running at the same time, using the modem to dial out or receive calls on an "as needed" basis.
When using TAPI, the following information must be entered:
