TSYs

ETel telephony extension modules — TSYs — translate between client side API function calls and the instructions understood by a particular telephony device, or family of devices. The position of TSYs in the telephony architecture is shown in ETel architectural overview.

There is no requirement for a particular TSY to support the complete set of functions defined in the client-side APIs, although typically a TSY will support — as a minimum — all the functions in the core client side API. ETel returns an error if a TSY does not include a called function — the error is TSY dependent, but should be KErrNotSupported for any TSY developed by Symbian.

The list of client-side functions which have been implemented in the Basic GSM TSY shipped with ER5 are given in Gsmbsc.tsy . These functions are those which are likely to be available on all EPOC Basic GSM telephony devices.

This SDK does not provide information about the API used to create TSYs, as this is beyond the scope of most developer requirements.
