About Audio and Video Quality
This application is designed to provide premium voice quality under a variety of conditions; however, in some instances users may notice interruptions of audio transmission or temporary audio distortions ("Artifacts") which are considered a normal part of the operation of the application.
These artifacts should be infrequent and temporary when using the application:
•
On a workstation meeting the recommended configuration requirements.
•
On a network that meets the recommended quality criteria in the Cisco Unified Communication Solution Reference Design Document.
We take reasonable measures to interface with the operating system in ways that decrease the likelihood that other applications running on the system will interfere with softphone audio and video quality. However, the shared nature of system environments in which these products run is very different than a closed environment like Cisco Unified IP Phones and we cannot guarantee equivalent performance.
The following are some conditions that may cause artifacts:
•
Spike in usage of the CPU of the personal computer - where CPU utilization is between 75 to 100% - due to launching applications, system processes or processing happening within other applications running.
•
The system is running low on available physical memory.
•
Other applications using large amounts of bandwidth to or from the workstation to the network.
•
Other network bandwidth impairments.
•
Dynamic reduction in CPU clock speed due to power management policy (for example, laptops running on battery power) or thermal protection causing the CPU to run in a more highly-loaded condition.
•
Any other condition that causes the application to lose timely access to the network or audio system, for example, interference from third-party software.
Avoiding or recovering from the conditions previously listed will help minimize audio distortion artifacts.

Installing Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator Using MSI
•
Using Translation Patterns Instead of Application Dialing Rules
For step-by-step installation and upgrade instructions, see the Installation Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10317/prod_installation_guides_list.html
Time Required to Install
If the computer on which you are installing Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator does not already have Microsoft .NET installed, the Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator installer installs Microsoft .NET. This will result in a longer installation time.
Installing Cisco Systems Network Protocol
When you install Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator on Windows Vista or Windows 7, you might be prompted to install Cisco Systems Network Protocol device software. Install this software.
If you do not install this software, you cannot place video calls if you set your Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator to use your desk phone for phone calls.
Installing Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator Using MSI
The video components of Cisco Unified Client Services Framework require Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 version 8.0.59193 or later. Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 must be installed before you install Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator, if you are using MSI to install.
Microsoft provides a Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 redistributable package, vcredist_x86.exe. You can download this package from the following links:
•
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=169360
To see the command line options, execute the following command:
vcredist_x86.exe /?
The Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package is not compatible with Cisco Unified Client Services Framework: the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 package is required.
Installing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package
You can use an MSI file to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 redistributable package. Extract the files vcredist.msi and vcredis1.cab from vcredist_x86.exe to a temporary folder. Use the following command line option:
vcredist_x86.exe /C /T:<full-path-to-folder>
Example
vcredist_x86.exe /C /T:C:\VCRedist
Use the extracted files to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005.
Using Translation Patterns Instead of Application Dialing Rules
Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator is easiest to install with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 7.0 or later, although you can install it with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 6.1(3) or later.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 7.0 and later support +E.164 phone numbers. Cisco recommends that you use +E.164 phone numbers with Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator, so that outgoing calls are easier to set up.
If you are using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 7.0 or later, Cisco recommends that you use translation patterns to set up outbound calls, rather than application dialing rules.
If you use application dialing rules, you must apply a Cisco Options Package (COP) file. You must restart Cisco Unified Communications Manager services when you update the rules. If you use translation patterns, the rules are dynamically applied, and you do not need to restart services.
For detailed information on translation patterns, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration online help, or the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html

Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 Support
Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator does not support Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 because the context menu functionality in Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 no longer permits third-party integrations.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.1(3) and Conference Participant Lists
If you use Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.1(3), in conference calls the names of the participants are incorrect in the participant list.
Upgrading from Microsoft Windows XP SP2 to SP3
If you have Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator installed on Microsoft Windows XP with SP2, and you plan to upgrade to SP3, you must first uninstall the following applications from the system:
•
Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator
•
Microsoft Office Communicator
After you upgrade the computer to Microsoft Windows XP with SP3, reinstall both applications.
Searching for Contacts That Do Not Have Unique Information
If you have Microsoft Outlook installed and you use the Microsoft Office Communicator window to search for contacts, Microsoft Office Communicator searches your Microsoft Outlook contacts.
If you try to place a call to a matched contact, and the contact does not have a unique email address, SIP address, or name, a dialog box displays all of the contacts in your corporate directory that match the criteria you searched for. Select the contact you require, then select Call.
Other Party Hears Cuts or Clips in Audio on a Call
When you are on a call with audio, or with audio and video, the other party might hear cuts or clips in your audio. The following table shows a possible solution to this problem. This solution relates only to particular audio devices, so you might not see the microphone boost setting referred to in the solution.
Users Hear Echo on Calls
When you are on a call with audio, or with audio and video, you might hear an echo. Camera microphones often have issues with echo. If you have selected your camera microphone as your microphone device, consider using a non-camera microphone as your microphone device.
To select another microphone device, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1
Select
in the Microsoft Office Communicator title bar.
Step 2
Select Tools > Setup Audio and Video.
Step 3
Follow the instructions in the wizard to configure your device.
Voice Messages Show a Duration of Zero

To resolve this issue, upgrade your release of Cisco Unity or Cisco Unity Connection to a release that is supported by Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator. For information on supported releases of Cisco Unity and Cisco Unity Connection, see Server Requirements.
Adding an Audio Call to a Video Call Results in an Audio Call
When you add an audio call to a video call, the party on the audio call does not receive a request to add video to their call. When the calls are merged, the call becomes an audio call.
Users of Cisco Unified IP Phone 9900 Series Models Cannot Control Desk Phone
If users who have a Cisco Unified IP Phone 9900 series model cannot use their desk phone from Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator, you must add the users to the Standard CTI Allow Control of Phones supporting Connected Xfer and conf user group. For more information about how to do this, see the Installation Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10317/prod_installation_guides_list.html
JTAPI Error When a Call Is Placed
Users might see a JTAPI error about 15 seconds after they place a call, when Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator is set to use the desk phone for phone calls.
To resolve this issue, ensure that your dial plan is set up correctly on Cisco Unified Communications Manager. In particular, ensure that Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not need to wait for more digits to be dialed.
For detailed information on setting up your dial plan, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration online help, or the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html
Opening and Closing Conversation History Window Repeatedly Causes Large Memory Usage
On some computers, if you open and close the conversation history window repeatedly, the cucimoc.exe process might use a large amount of memory. To resolve this issue, you must install the following hotfix:
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/KB981107/
Limitation with Shared Lines When Deploying with Cisco Unified SRST
If you have Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) set up in your Cisco Unified Communication system, you can continue to place and receive calls during a system failure. In these circumstances, the Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator uses shared lines to enable you to continue to place and receive calls.
Cisco Unified SRST does not support shared lines with SIP phones. Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator receives only alternate calls if both of the following conditions occur:
•
Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator is set to use your computer for phone calls.
•
Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator has the same directory number as a SIP desk phone.
However, the desk phone receives all calls.
Application Might Not Start in Some Circumstances Due to Microsoft Office Communicator Automation API Error
After you install Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator, then start Microsoft Office Communicator, your Windows operating system might display a message that says "Cisco.Uc.Clients.Moc.UCClient has stopped working." Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator does not start.
This issue can occur when Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator cannot connect to the Microsoft Office Communicator Automation API. For example, this issue can occur in the following circumstances:
•
On Windows XP, if you have Microsoft Office Communicator or Windows Live Messenger installed, and you upgrade from SP2 to SP3.
•
If you have Microsoft Office Communicator or Windows Live Messenger installed, and you uninstall Windows Live Messenger.
To fix this issue, perform a repair of Microsoft Office Communicator, as shown in the following steps. Alternatively, reinstall Microsoft Office Communicator.
Procedure

Specifying Audio Value Names
Before you install Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator, you must perform some configuration on the computers of your users. You can specify the Cisco Unified Client Services Framework client settings, including an Audio_ISAC_Advertised setting. This specifies whether to enable the advertising of the availability of the iSAC audio codec. Enter one of the following values for this setting:
•
0: Disables advertising.
•
1: Enables advertising.
The iSAC audio codec is only supported in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 8.0 and later.
For more information about how to configure this setting, see the Installation Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10317/prod_installation_guides_list.html
How Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator Determines the Audio Codec to Use on a Call
Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator uses Cisco Unified Communications Manager devices for your Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator software, and for your desk phone.
The audio bit rate capability of these devices is one of several factors that determine the audio capability of Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator for the user. You specify this bit rate capability in Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
To configure the bit rate capability of these devices, use the region settings of the device pool that the devices are in. The following settings affect the audio bit rate capability of the devices:
Release of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Settings8.0 or later
Max Audio Bit Rate
Earlier than 8.0
Audio Codec
For more information about region and device pool configuration in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration online help, or the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html
When you place a call in Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator, both endpoints advertise their audio codec capability to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager. The Cisco Unified Communications Manager selects the highest possible common codec between them. The default audio codec is G.711.
Updating the Voicemail Server Value Name
If you migrate from one voicemail system to another, or if the IP address or hostname of your voicemail server changes, you must also update the value of the voicemail server registry key value names.
If you do not update the value of the voicemail server registry key value names, users might still be able to access voice messages from the old voicemail system from the visual voicemail interface in Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator.
For more information about voicemail server registry key value names, see the Installation Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10317/prod_installation_guides_list.html

•
About Tuning Computers for Maximum Video Performance
Factors That Affect the Video Capability of Users
Factors that affect the frame format and frame rate that can be achieved on a video call are:
•
Cisco Unified Communications Manager configuration of device bit rate limits.
•
User settings, such as the options that are available to the user through the Cisco UC Options dialog box in Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator.
•
Selected camera.
•
CPU speed and usage.
•
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace configuration of videoconferencing parameters.
•
Video capability of the other endpoints on a call.
•
The parameters of the network between the two endpoints, such as, the physical network bandwidth and the router configuration in the network path of the call.
Determining the Bit Rate Required for a Particular Video Capability
Use Table 11 to determine the minimum bit rate that your Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator requires to attain a particular frame format and frame rate.
Example
To configure Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator for a user to be capable of video with VGA frame size, at 30 frames per second, Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator requires a combined audio and video bit rate of at least 768 kb/s. Allow 64 kb/s for the audio codec to use with VGA frame format.
Configuring the Bit Rate Capability for Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator
Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator uses Cisco Unified Communications Manager devices for your Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator software.
The bit rate, or bandwidth, capability of these devices is one of several factors that determine the video capability of Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator for the user. You specify this bit rate capability in Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
To configure the bit rate capability of the devices, use the region settings of the device pool that the devices are in. The following settings affect the bit rate capability of the devices:
Release of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Settings8.0 or later
•
Max Audio Bit Rate
•
Max Video Call Bit Rate
Earlier than 8.0
•
Audio Codec
•
Video Call Bandwidth
For more information about region and device pool configuration in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration online help, or the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html
Example
If you want your devices to be capable of 720p HD video calls at 30 frames per second (fps), configure the Region Settings to allocate a bit rate that can handle the 720p HD video at 30 fps, as well as the audio for the call.
If Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator requires a minimum bit rate of 2000 kb/s to make a HD video call, and the audio bit rate for the region is set to 64 kb/s (G.722, G.711), then you must put the devices in a device pool that is in a region that is configured to have a video call bit rate as shown in the following table:
How Cisco Unified Client Services Framework Determines the Video Capability of Your Computer
Cisco Unified Client Services Framework derives the hardware profile of the machine as a WEI score. Cisco Unified Client Services Framework uses the WEI processor subscore to determine the send and receive video profile that is appropriate for your computer.
Table 12 lists the H.264/AVC levels that are supported, the bit rate and frame format for each level, and the minimum WEI processor subscore that is required to support each level
Limiting of Usage of Bandwidth by Users
The Video category in the Cisco UC Options dialog box contains a slider that enables you to limit the bandwidth that Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator uses for video calls. Table 13 lists the bandwidth settings that are available on the slider, from highest to lowest, and the video implications for each level.

Video Troubleshooting Tips
•
Video Conversations with Multiple Displays
•
No Video When Using the Desk Phone and a Wireless Network Interface Card Is Enabled
Users See Video Impairments
Problem
Under certain rare conditions, users may see some video impairment in the following situations:
•
At the start of a video call or during a video call when the Hold or Resume functions are used.
•
During a call when the user adjusts the video quality using the slider in the Video section of the Cisco UC Options dialog box.
This problem occurs when:
•
The client computer is capable of handling high-resolution video but the network or switch has insufficient bandwidth to support the video resolution.
•
There is packet loss on the network.
•
There is packet loss along the network due to video packet fragmentation, if the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of the network interface card at either endpoint is set lower than the Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator MTU of 1270.
•
There are packets dropped at routers along the call path.
•
The Cisco Unified Client Services Framework device that is associated with the installation of Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator is set up in Cisco Unified Communications Manager for a bandwidth that the physical network that the device is located on does not support. For example, if you are on a physical network that has a 128 kb/s bandwidth and you configure the Cisco Unified Client Services Framework device for a bandwidth setting of 4 Mb/s, then the call starts at a higher video codec level than the underlying physical network actually supports.
Try one or more of the following suggested solutions.
Solution
Put the Cisco Unified Client Services Framework device in a device pool that is in a region that is configured to have a maximum video bit rate that is less than the bandwidth of your physical network. For more information, see Determining the Bit Rate Required for a Particular Video Capability.
Solution
Perform the following steps:
1.
Select
in the Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator pane.
2.
Select Video.
3.
Use the slider to set the balance between bandwidth usage and video quality.
4.
Ensure that the Optimize video quality for your computer option is selected.
Video Conversations with Multiple Displays
If your computer displays on more than one device, use the primary display for video conversations. Video hardware acceleration is generally not supported on non-primary displays, so CPU usage on non-primary displays becomes very high.
Users Might See Lower Video Quality When Computer Is Connected to Some Models of Cisco Unified IP Phone
Problem
Users might see lower video quality in Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator when their computer is connected to some Cisco Unified IP Phone models, such as 7945G, 7965G, and 7975G.
This problem occurs if the link speeds and duplex configuration on either end of the connection are not the same. For example, if the link speed of the port at the PC port is 1000 Mb/s and the switch port is connected at 100 Mb/s. Alternatively, if the link on one end of the connection is half duplex, and the link on the end is full duplex.
Contact your Cisco Support representative to get the latest update on this issue.
Solution
To address this issue, perform the following steps:
1.
Go to the Network Configuration settings for your phone.
2.
Set the SW Port Configuration setting to 100 Full.
3.
Set the PC Port Configuration setting to 100 Full.

•
Built-In Camera on Lenovo ThinkPad W500 Crops Image
Some Web Cameras Start When Users Sign In
The correct behavior of web cameras is that web cameras start when users start a video call, or a video conference call. In particular circumstances, some web cameras start when users sign in to Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator. This occurs on particular hardware configurations, with particular web camera driver software.
In these circumstances, Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Office Communicator controls the web camera. This means that you cannot see a preview of your video in the Set Up Audio and Video dialog box in Microsoft Office Communicator. However, you can still use the web camera for video calls, video conference calls, and so on.
To resolve this problem, install the latest drivers from the manufacturer of your web camera. If your computer is a Lenovo ThinkPad W500, install the drivers at the following URL:
