2. Install & Configure LAN CTE

LAN CTE is the interface between your PC and your BCM Telephone system. LAN CTE includes a TAPI Driver that Dynamics Telephony uses to monitor and control your BCM telephone.

Follow the comprehensive instructions in this document from Avaya. These are for BCM R6, but should be similar for other versions.

Dynamics Telephony supports one TAPI DN (BCM extension phone number). Make a note of the DN for the next step.

3. Configure Dynamics Telepony for TAPI

Finally, in Dynamics Telephony
> Settings > General: set provider to TAPI
> Settings > Provider Account: Set the DN to your extension number
