what is needed for development?

[wooliewillie]

Can someone point me to what API's and hardware and middleware I need to develop applications?

I'll assume you're targeting IP Phone Services to begin with. The Cisco Developer Support Program (see below) also covers things like the TAPI/JTAPI and AXL/SOAP interfaces, etc.

You'll want the IP Phone Services SDK, available from Cisco's Developer Support Program.

This page describes the IP Phone SDK:

This page describes the Cisco Developer Support Program:

Here is a link that describes many of the various XML tags:

Here's a recent forum discussion on the topic:

And here's a book that covers IP Phone development. It's a bit old, but is still relevant:

Developing Cisco IP Phone Services: A Cisco AVVID Solution

There's a start!

When I installed the SDK , and start to implement the ASP applicatiosn like ( Clock ,logo , calaender ..etc ) I got a username and password .. which i dont what are they for !!!!???

Could you please help me in that !!

[phoneapps]

Check that the virtual directory you're running it under has anonymous access turned on:

Launch Internet Services Manager.

Browse to the Virtual Directory and choose to show properties.

Select the 'Directory Security' tab.

Click the 'Edit...' button in 'Anonymous access...'

Ensure the 'Anonymous Access' box is ticked and that the username and password are valid.

Hope this helps.

Okay , thats works

but now the IP Phone shows the asp codes which I cannot under stand ..why that happened .

Could you please help

[aaronw.ca]

What message are you getting? What version of IIS is hosting the services?

Also note that some of the sample services provided with the SDK must be customized for your location. Open the .asp page in a text editor and read through the notes at the top of the application.

Simple applications like calendar or clock should work without modification though.

Okay , thats works

[smahrous]

IIS version is 5.1

SDK version is 3.3

The message appear on my 7940 IP Phone after cliking the clock service :-

"..W32.DTD HTML 3.3

Final EN>

.......

and many lines like that

I tried to find where this code foudn in the clock directory , but I fail

I think that may be the 7940 firmware couldnt interpret the asp code !!

I dont know ..

Any advices

[stephan.steiner]

Load the asp page in a webbrowser, that way you get the full error message in an easily readable format. If it doesn't tell you anything, post the message here.

[smahrous]

I browse both the calender and clock asp services and i atatched the service with error found in the browser .

Thanks in advance
