Connection Test

Use

The connection test checks the compatibility of the versions of the SAPphone interface and the external telephony software. The first character of the version number is used as the criterion. The SAPphone interface 5.02A, which is delivered with release 4.6C, can be used with software versions from 3X to 5X, for example. However, not all the functions of the new SAPphone version can be used with older versions, such as 3.1. Therefore, at the beginning of a called function SAPphone decides, using the external software version, whether the function is executed. This concept ensures the upward compatibility of the new SAPphone versions.

Prerequisites

The RFC connection to the external software must be configured.

Activities

Perform the connection test when you create or change a telephony server. To do this, choose Connection test in the node display. If the test was successful, the version and information about the compatibility are output.
