Driver Parameters and Initialization

For the drivers provided by Siebel Systems, each driver parameter may be prefaced with a keyword indicating how it will be used. Driver parameters defined for custom Adaptive Communications drivers can also follow this scheme for controlling how parameters are used.

• Parameters prefixed with "Driver:" are sent (with the prefix "Driver:" removed) to the driver handle when the driver is being initialized. These parameters are sent to the CreateISCDriverInstance method. (This applies to the Siebel CTI Connect driver provided by Siebel Systems.)
• Parameters prefaced with "Service:" are sent (with the prefix "Service:" removed) to the driver handle when it requests a service (creates the service handle). These parameters are sent to the RequestService method. (This applies to the Siebel CTI Connect driver provided by Siebel Systems.)
• Parameters that are not prefixed with either "Driver:" or "Service:" (as is the case for most of the drivers provided by Siebel Systems) are sent to the driver handle when the driver is being initialized (CreateISCDriverInstance method), and also when the driver handle requests a service (RequestService method).
