For some documents for Siemens HiPath / TAPI see http://wiki.siemens-enterprise.com/wiki/HiPath_3000_open_interfaces

Some starting points for TAPI through .NET:

• http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/CShart_TAPI_3x.aspx
• http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/Video_Voice_Conferencing.aspx

I am not familiar with the protocols Siemens HiPath offers, but it can offer syslogd and / or SNMP integration for logging ... some protocols (IIRC, e.g. TAPI) must be licensed separately from Siemens ...

It is best to configure HiPath 3000 to send CDRs over the local network to the IP address you specify. This configuration is easy through HiPath 3000 Manager E.

You simply write a TCP listener to receive a connection to the PBX and analyze incoming call records (CDRs).

Successfully done this with Avaya, Panasonic, and other PABX products, including the HiPath 3000 Series.
