Overview
The Cisco Java Telephony API (JTAPI) implementation comprises Java classes that reside on all client machines that run JTAPI applications. Installation of the Cisco Unified JTAPI implementation must take place before these applications can function correctly. Make sure that the Cisco Unified JTAPI classes are installed wherever JTAPI applications run, whether on Cisco Unified Communications Manager, a separate machine, or both.
Previously, the system supported installation of the JTAPI client only on Windows platforms. Beginning with the 5.0 release, the JTAPIInstaller provides a unified installation/uninstallation process for the JTAPI client for Linux, Windows, and Solaris, as listed in Table 4-1. For Linux and Solaris versions, the InstallShield MultiPlatform (ISMP) installer generates a binary file (.bin), and for the Windows version, it generates an executable file (.exe), after the set of files that need to be installed is obtained.

Note If you have upgraded to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 5.0, you must upgrade the JTAPI client software on any application server or client workstation on which JTAPI applications are installed. If you do not upgrade the JTAPI client, your application will fail to initialize. If you need to upgrade, download the appropriate client as described in the Installing the Cisco Unified JTAPI Software section.
Upgraded JTAPI client software does not work with previous releases of Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Determining the Current JTAPI Version
To determine the JTAPI version number from the installer, use one of the following commands:
•CiscoJtapiVersion.exe - silent -W newversion.check="1" -goto showversion
•CiscoJtapiClient-linux.bin -silent -W newversion.check="1" -goto showversion
•CiscoJtapiClient-solarisSparc.bin -silent -W newversion.check="1" -goto showversion
•CiscoJtapiClient-solarisX86.bin -silent -W newversion.check="1" -goto showversion
These commands create a file called "jtapiversion.txt" in the folder where you execute the command. This file contains the JTAPI version in the format A.B(C.D).
Warning Installation of the new software may fail if you do not first manually uninstall any Release 4.X or earlier version of the JTAPI SDK.
When a previous JTAPI version is present in the system and an upgrade is made to the current version of JTAPI, the installer invokes the uninstaller of the previous release. If you want to invoke the previous uninstaller in silent mode on a Windows system, use the command
CiscoJtapiClient.exe -silent -W newversion.silent="1"
If it is installed, you can also use the JTAPI Preferences user interface utility tool to verify the installed JTAPI version.
Step 1 Choose Start > Programs > CiscoJTAPI > JTAPI Preferences. The following menu displays:
Step 2 Select the "ReadMe" file. This file identifies the currently installed version of Cisco Unified JTAPI.
Installing the Cisco Unified JTAPI Software
You can install the Cisco Unified JTAPI software in these modes:
•Silent Install Invocation
•Command Line Invocation
•End User Installation
For the ISMP installer to run, the installer temporarily installs a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version and uses it for its operation. The system removes the JRE during the uninstall operation.
Note Distribution of the JRE with the Cisco Unified JTAPIInstaller occurs in accordance with an agreement between Sun Microsystems, Inc., and Cisco Systems, Inc.
Warning Installation of the new software may fail if you do not first manually uninstall any Release 4.X or earlier version of the JTAPI SDK.
Silent Install Invocation
Applications can bundle the JTAPIInstaller along with their installation by using a silent install invocation of the JTAPIInstaller.
Applications that run the JTAPIInstaller in silent mode can use of the following commands:
•Linux platforms—CiscoJTAPIClient-linux -silent
•Solaris (Sparc) platforms—CiscoJTAPIClient-solarisSparc.bin -silent
•Solaris (X86) platforms—CiscoJTAPIClient-solarisX86.bin -silent
•Windows (Win9X, Win ME, Win2K, or WinXP) platforms—CiscoJTAPIClient.exe -silent
When you are performing a fresh install or an upgrade/downgrade, the JTAPIInstaller automatically detects the destination folders and does the silent install. The installer places the JTAPI Sample Applications and the JAR Files in the appropriate folders that the user specifies during installation or in the default folders in case of a silent install. However, if a previous version is present, the JTAPIInstaller does not know the applications path, so it creates the default folders, Lib and JTAPITools, and installs the applications in those folders.
For Windows clients, the JTAPIInstaller also updates the registry with the new install information. For Linux versions, it creates the file jtapiver.ini in the users home directory.
Command Line Invocation
To run the JTAPIInstaller interactively from the command line, enter one of the following commands from the command prompt:
•Linux platforms—CiscoJTAPIClient-linux.bin -console
•Solaris (Sparc) platforms—CiscoJTAPIClient-solarisSparc.bin -console
•Solaris (X86) platforms—CiscoJTAPIClient-solarisX86.bin -console
•Windows (Win9X, WinME, Win2K, or WinXP) platforms—CiscoJTAPIClient.exe -console
You will find that the command line mode is helpful for installing JTAPI in systems that do not have GUI support, such as Linux systems. A character-based menu, where the user is asked to provide a series of inputs based on the install time conditions, guides the entire installation procedure. This mode also provides all the other options that the GUI-based installer provides.
End User Installation
The JTAPI Installer uses a Java Foundation Classes (JFC) swing interface for the end user interface. The install procedure asks the user to provide a series of information and checks.
The installer creates and installs uninstallers on the target system, under the folder "_uninst." Find this folder under the JTAPI application path, which is normally C:\Program Files\JTAPITools for Windows and $HOME/.jtapi/bin for Linux). The user can invoke the uninstaller by using this path.
A log file that is named ismpInstall.txt (or ismpUninstall.txt) in the folder from which the installer/uninstaller is executed stores all details about the installation procedure. You can also use this file to check for any errors that may occur because it contains the entire list of traces of the various events that occur during product installation.
Installation Procedures
The following sections describe the installation procedures for the Linux, Solaris, and Windows platforms.
Linux and Solaris Platforms
Cisco Unified JTAPI supports multiple languages for the installation and JTAPI Preferences user interface.
The Cisco Unified JTAPIInstaller installs the following items on the local disk drive:
•JTAPI java classes in $HOME/.jtapi/lib
•JTAPI Preferences in $HOME/.jtapi/bin
•JTAPI sample applications (makecall, jtrace) in $HOME/.jtapi/bin
•JTAPI documentation in $HOME/.jtapi/bin/doc
Perform the following steps to install the Cisco Unified JTAPI software on a Linux/Solaris platform:
Step 1 Log in to the computer where you want to install the Cisco Unified JTAPI client software.
Step 2 Locate the appropriate ISMP installer and launch it:
•CiscoJTAPIClient-linux.bin - for Linux OS
•CiscoJTAPIClient-solarisSparc.bin - for Solaris Sparc OS
•CiscoJTAPIClient-solarisX86.bin - for Solaris X86 OS
Step 3 Follow the instructions that the Cisco Unified JTAPI Installer presents.
Note The installation software installs the Cisco Unified JTAPI software on the default drive.
In Linux, for example, the default directory is $HOME/.jtapi/lib
Verifying Linux and Solaris Installation
To ensure that the JTAPI installation has been done properly, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Check that the .jtapiver.ini file was created in the $HOME directory.
Step 2 Check that the JTAPI Program files and documentation are present under the folder $HOME/.jtapi/bin.
Look for the makecall, jtrace, Locale_files, and doc folders.
Step 3 Check that the JTAPI Library is present under the folder $HOME/.jtapi/lib.
Look for the jtapi.jar, jtracing.jar, and updater.jar files.
Step 4 After ensuring that jtapi.jar is present in the classpath, run the following command from the command line prompt of $HOME/.jtapi/bin ./_jvm/bin/java:
com.cisco.services.jtprefs.jtprefsFrame
This should open the JTAPI Preferences dialog box.
Note In the absence of the JTPrefs application, you can generate the jtapi.ini file by entering:
< jview | java > CiscoJtapiVersion -parms
This command generates a jtapi.ini file in the current directory.
During installation, users can choose a different folder than $HOME to install JTAPI. In this case, the system creates a folder called .jtapi within the specified folder and creates the bin and lib folders within that folder for copying the corresponding files. For example, if the user chooses the folder name /home/jtapiuser, the folder structure would be
/home/jtapiuser/.jtapi/bin — Contains the makecall, jtrace, Locale_files, and doc folders.
/home/jtapiuser/.jtapi/lib — Contains the jtapi.jar, jtracing.jar, and updater.jar files
In this case, run the command at Step 4 from the /home/jtapiuser/.jtapi/bin folder.
Windows Platforms
Cisco Unified JTAPI supports multiple languages for the installation and JTAPI Preferences user interface. The Cisco Unified JTAPI Installer installs the following items on the local disk drive:
•JTAPI Java classes in %SystemRoot%\java\lib
•JTAPI Preferences in Program Files\JTAPITools
•JTAPI sample applications (makecall, jtrace) in Program Files\JTAPITools
•JTAPI documentation in Program Files\JTAPITools\doc
To install the Cisco Unified JTAPI software on a Windows platform, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Log in to the computer where you want to install the Cisco Unified JTAPI client software.
Step 2 Close all Windows programs.
Step 3 Locate the ISMP installer (CiscoJTAPIClient.exe) and launch it.
Step 4 Follow the installer instructions.
Note The installation software installs the Cisco Unified JTAPI software on the default drive.
When Windows NT is installed, for example, the default directory is C:\WINNT\Java\lib.
Verifying Windows Installation
To verify the JTAPI Windows installation, you can use the makecall application that allows you to place a call via JTAPI. Perform the following steps to use the makecall application.
Step 1 From the Windows NT command line, navigate to the directory where you installed Cisco Unified JTAPI Tools. By default, this directory is C:\Program Files\JTAPITools.
Step 2 Execute the following command:
java CiscoJtapiVersion
Step 3 Execute the following command:
java makecall <server name> <login> <password> 1000 <phone1> <phone2>
Note The server name variable specifies the hostname or IP address of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager (for example, CTISERVER).
The phone1 and phone2 variables designate directory numbers of IP phones or virtual phones that the user controls according to the user configuration. Refer to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide for details.
For the login and password variables, use the user ID and password that you configured in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager User Configuration window.
Auto Install for Upgrades
The auto install feature provides a facility by which an application at startup can identify itself to a Cisco Unified Communications Manager web server via an HTTP request and receive a response with the version of the required JTAPI API. The application compares the version that is available on the server to the local version in the application classpath and determines whether an upgrade is necessary.
The application makes changes in the init process to instantiate an updated API to discover the server installed component and download the component as needed.
The feature allows applications to refresh the jtapi.jar component to match the Cisco Unified Communications Manager and also provides a way to centrally deploy the jtapi.jar to which applications can auto update.
The API that is required to perform this functionality is packaged in the form of an updater.jar. Packaging for jtapi.jar and updater.jar includes a standard manifest that can be used to compare versions. Applications do not have to resort to instantiating a version class because this could make the API write protected from an update.
This feature, when specified with the location and component, downloads jtapi.jar from the server and copies it to local directory. The application can either copy the downloaded jtapi.jar with its copy by overwriting it or by changing the classpath to access the new jtapi.jar.
Note Auto Install does not update JTAPI preferences, TAPITestTools, updater.jar, and javadoc components. If applications require these components, install JTAPI from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager plug-in windows.
Configuring Cisco Unified JTAPI Preferences
Use the Cisco Unified JTAPI Preferences application (JTPREFS) to configure trace levels and trace destinations as well as several other system parameters. Installation of the Cisco Unified JTAPI Preferences into the Program Files\JTAPITools directory utility takes place by default. To open the Cisco Unified JTAPI Preferences utility, choose Start > Programs > Cisco Unified JTAPI > JTAPI Preferences.
This section, which describes how to use the Cisco Unified JTAPI Preferences application, includes the following topics:
•JTAPI Tracing Tab
•Log Destination Tab
•CallManagers Tab
•Advanced Tab
•Security Tab
•Language Tab
JTAPI Tracing Tab
The JTAPI Tracing tab lets you change trace settings only for the JTAPI layer. You can enable security install tracing levels on the Security Tab. Figure 4-1 illustrates the JTAPI Tracing tab of the Cisco Unified JTAPI Preferences application. The window title shows the JTAPI version number.

Security Tab
Figure 4-5 illustrates the Security tab of the preferences application.
Figure 4-5 Security Tab
Application users need to configure the User Name, InstanceID, Authorization Code, TFTPServer IP-Address, and CAPFServer IP-Address parameters through the JTAPI Preferences application before invoking the JTAPI API or JTAPI Preferences to download/install certificates on the application server.
You can use JTAPI Preferences to configure security profiles for one or more userName/instanceID pair. If an application user has previously configured a security profile for a userName/instanceID pair, the security profile automatically populates when the user enters the username/instanceID and clicks any of the other edit boxes.
Apart from the GUI that is provided through JTAPI Preferences, an application can also install a client certificate by calling the interface that is provided at CiscoJtapiProperties. When Interface UpdateCertificate() is called, the JTAPI client connects to the TFTP server to download the CTL file and extract certificates to the given certificate path. It then connects to the CAPF server to download the client certificate and installs it into the given certificate path.
The jtapi.ini files store user security records in comma separated value (CSV) format. Semicolons separate individual records. An example of a users security record follows:
SecurityProperty=user,123,12345,172.19.242.37,3804,172.19.242.37,69,.\\,true,false;<next record>; ...
You can configure the following parameters on the Security tab:

Administering User Information for JTAPI Applications
The JTAPI application requires that users be given the privilege to control one or more devices. Follow the procedures for adding a user and assigning devices to a user in the "Adding a New User" section before using the JTAPI application. The list of devices that are assigned to the user represents the phones that the user needs to control from the application (for example, make calls and answer calls).
Fields in the jtapi.ini File
Applications that run in non-GUI based platforms, where JTPrefs cannot be invoked, can write their own jtapi.ini file and place it along with jtapi.jar based on the values that are provided here. JTAPI will make use of these values to configure itself.
Applications should ensure that they provide valid data as described in Table 4-6. Applications have responsibility for errors that are caused in JTAPI behavior due to improper jtapi.ini file values.
NA: Not Applicable
NP: Not Present
