4/8/2010

Use the Tapi Configuration Service Provider to configure telephony settings. The Tapi Configuration Service Provider is used for configuring the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) telephony settings on the device.

Note

This Configuration Service Provider is not available on Windows Mobile Professional and Windows Mobile Classic.

Note

This Configuration Service Provider is managed over the OMA Client Provisioning (formerly WAP Client Provisioning) protocol.

Note

Access to this Configuration Service Provider is determined by Security roles. Because OEMs and Mobile Operators can selectively disallow access, ask them about the availability of this Configuration Service Provider. For more information about roles, see Security Roles and Default Roles for Configuration Service Providers.

In the root characteristic, the default security roles are defined. The default security role maps to each subnode unless specific permission is granted to the subnode. The following table shows the default settings:
