Some PC-BIOS versions can cause system crashes due to incompatible operation between USB and BIOS features, especially power save features. It is therefore recommended that PC-BIOS be upgraded to the newest version. PC-BIOS updates are normally made available on your PC manufacturer's web site.

===================================
- A LINEDEVSTATE_CAPSCHANGE message will be generated if any Norstar set used by TAPI is reconfigured. The TSP requires that all applications stop using the set for the changes to be recognized by the TSP. - The service provider will not correctly control a set which is in a KSU administration session or in a paging session during service provider initialization.
- The TAPI Service Provider is unaware of any set activity that occurs before it is started. This includes calls, call forwarding, and DND. This problem is corrected by starting the Norstar TSP Launcher with the Operating System.
- Call control problems exist when using the TAPI Service Provider through the Remote SP. Attempting to answer a call may return LINEERR_NOTOWNER ( 0x80000046 ).
Note: This problem is resolved by installing Windows NT Service Pack 4.0 on the NT Server system which is performing as the Telephony Server. - For huntgroup related calls, the CallInfo structure will contain: - huntgroup DN in the Name field.
- huntgroup DN in the Redirection field for a call to a huntgroup. ===================================================================== | Additional Information |
