Capture telephone numbers from connected modems using .NET (C#)

Some applications may require you to capture the telephone numbers of incoming calls. This can be achieved by some external (maybe native) libraries, i prefer to do it in a fully managed way (as far as possible). I have implemented incoming call detection in C# for analog modem devices, connected through a (virtual) serial port and for CAPI devices (currently only for windows).

Features

• Supported devices: Analog modem devices with serial connection (modem needs dedicated CallerID support), CAPI devices (more may come)
• Simple interface
• Operating systems: Analog modem device are supported on Linux and Windows (maybe more), CAPI devices are supported on Windows only
• External libraries: CAPI support requires the CAPI.NET library from Mommosoft

Usage

This example shows how to setup an analog modem, a capi device setup is shown in the samples project.

• First setup the serial communication interface. For more information on using the reflective factory mechanism take a look at the Reflective Factory blog entry

  Code:

  ICommunication serialComm = 
      GenericClassIdentifierFactory.CreateFromClassIdentifierOrType<ICommunication>(
      "simplecomm/general/rs232");
  IDictionary config = new Hashtable();
  config.Add("port_name", "COM8");
  config.Add("baud_rate", 57600);
  serialComm.SetupCommunication(config);

• The next step is to setup the telecom interface.

  Code:

  ITelecom t = 
      GenericClassIdentifierFactory.CreateFromClassIdentifierOrType<ITelecom>(
      "telecom/general/atz");
  t.IncomingCall += new TelecomIncomingCallDelegate(_IncomingCall);
  
  //Initialize the incoming-call provider with its default parameters
  IDictionary modemConfig = new Hashtable();
  modemConfig.Add("TransmitCommandTimeout", 5000);
  t.Initialize(serialComm, modemConfig);
