LAN CTE Configuration Guide 12 Chapter 1 Getting started NN40010 601 13 Chapter 2 Configuring the BCM system and clients You must configure the LAN CTE software on your BCM system if you are using Telephony Application Programming Interface TAPI applications Note You may not need to configure the LAN CTE software on BCM if you are using only CTE applications This is an application dependent requirement Some applications rely on the configuration to restrict access to certain telephones and others do not Refer to the application documentation for its specific requirements You must install the LAN CTE software on the client computers connecting to the BCM system to run CTE applications To run TAPI applications you must install both LAN CTE and BCM TAPI Service Provider TSP on the client computers LAN CTE and TSP do not require a Microsoft domain to function Entering the LAN CTE authorization code Before you install the LAN CTE software on the client computers you must enable the authorization code for the application on the BCM Refer to the Keycode Installation Guide NN40010 301 for more details Note Only one keycode is required for one or multiple applications on the system However each application requires its own authorization code Note Each computer that uses LAN CTE and TAPI software is counted as a LAN CTE Desktop Therefore you need one license per computer LAN CTE Confi
