Terminal Server

To use the estos UCServer with a terminal server or Citrix® Metaframe, first install the server.

In contrast to TapiServer 2.x, with estos UCServer no TAPI drivers are required for estos ProCall in Terminal Server environments. You only have to install the multi-line TAPI driver if other applications use TAPI.

If you have installed a further application which uses TAPI please observe the following instructions:

estos UCServer is not installed on the Terminal Server.
If the estos UCServer is installed on another server, the Multiline TAPI driver needs to be installed on the terminal server. In the configuration of the Computer all lines are allocated to the Multiline TAPI driver, which are required by the terminal server users. These lines can then be viewed by all users and the right line is always used for the user which is logged on.
