<concept id="GUID-F61FEF82-FD8F-5C5B-9125-A6DE4569EAF3" xml:lang="en"><title>Architecture</title><shortdesc>The architecture section shows the relationship between the core

telephony APIs and the functionality they provide to the client applications. </shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>The API defines a core set of functions, that many telephony devices and

services support. Applications can use the APIs directly to access the telephony

devices. The interfaces are derived from by other telephony related APIs,

for example the GSM APIs. The derived APIs provide more advanced functionality. </p>

<p>The APIs uses the Symbian platform client/server framework.

The APIs provides <b>R</b> classes that send requests to the telephony server.

The server in turn passes requests to an appropriate plug-in module that handles

the physical device. </p>

<section id="GUID-6C5EE6BF-1059-569E-A227-869BA4D9585E"><title>Structure of

Core Telephony API</title> <p>The Core telephony APIs defines generic interfaces

that supports a limited set of telephony functionality. The interfaces are

based on three fundamental abstractions. </p> <p>The fundamental abstractions

are phones, lines, and calls. All requests to the telephony server are made

through a server session through a phone, line, call or data port. The telephony

server also contains fax functionality, but this is not directly available

to applications. </p> <p>The following diagram illustrates the class hierarchy

used to implement the core client-side interface. </p> <fig id="GUID-32A0E5DA-1DD9-5E09-8CAC-C7EB3E30DBFB">

client applications must open a connection to a root server to use the telephony

server. The root session enables the clients to access information and functionality
