Notes

• To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer, or you must be designated as a telephony administrator (for information about designating telephony administrators, see Related Topics). If the computer is joined to a domain, members of the Domain Admins group might be able to perform this procedure. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure.For more information, see Default local groups, Default groups, and Using Run as.

• To open Telephony, click Start, click Run, and then type tapimgmt.msc.

• The settings you can change depend on the telephony service provider.

• You can also configure telephony service providers on the local computer using Phone and Modem Options in Control Panel. For more information, see Related Topics.

Information about functional differences

• Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
