Address Type

The device address type describes the forms of addressing permissible on an address, such as a phone number or an IP address. A given device will understand one or more address types. For a list of address types supported by TAPI, see LINEADDRESSTYPE_ Constants. Address translation may be used to convert an address from one type to another.

For general information on addresses, see Address under Device Categories.

The address type for a session will be a subset of the device address types.

TAPI 2.x: See lineGetDevCaps and the dwAddressType member of LINEDEVCAPS.

TAPI 3.x: See ITAddressCapabilities::get_AddressCapability, with AddressCap set to the AC_ADDRESSTYPES member of ADDRESS_CAPABILITY.
