If you’re not sure whether or not your TAPI<\/em> device will work with PhonePad’s Caller ID<\/em> features, you can test your device using one of the test programs we have created.<\/p>\n For PhonePad 4, download the Caller ID Check<\/a> program.<\/p>\n To use this utility, you will first need to select your TAPI device.\u00a0 Next, click the Start<\/em> button so that Caller ID Check<\/em> will start listening for phone calls.\u00a0 If your device supports Caller ID, phone numbers will be displayed in the utility when your phone rings.\u00a0 If you click the Stop<\/em> button, the utility will stop listening for calls.\u00a0 The Exit<\/em> button closes the utility.<\/p>\n<\/a>\n PhonePad 5 has more advanced TAPI features than PhonePad 4 and works with a wider range of devices.\u00a0 Although PhonePad 5 hasn’t been released yet you can still check device compatibility now. Download the TAPI Device Check<\/a> program.<\/p>\n Once you have downloaded TAPI Device Check<\/em> and run it, any TAPI devices it can “see” will be displayed in the list on the left.\u00a0 Select a device and then click the Start Listening<\/em> button.\u00a0 Next, call the phone number the device is connected to.\u00a0 You should see the phone number appear in the list on the right.<\/p>\n Click the Stop Listening<\/em> button when you have finished testing.<\/p>\n The radio buttons at the bottom of the screen let you display all devices or just TAPI devices.\u00a0 Please note that only TAPI devices will work with Caller ID.<\/p>\n<\/a>\n If you have tested your TAPI device with one of the above programs and it worked fine, then your device will work with that version of PhonePad.\u00a0 Remember, Caller ID Check<\/em> is for PhonePad 4,<\/span> and TAPI Device Check<\/em> is for PhonePad 5<\/span>.<\/p>\n If you tested your TAPI device with Caller ID Check<\/em> and it didn’t work, try testing it with TAPI Device Check<\/em>.\u00a0 You may find it works fine with that.\u00a0 Some devices we have tested work with both programs, and others have only worked with TAPI Device Check, which is understandable as PhonePad 5 works with more devices.<\/p>\nPhonePad 4<\/h3>\n
