Installing TimeCardView

Installing, Upgrading, or Downgrading Your TimeCardView License

Prerequisites

TimeCardView is provided as an add-on package to Cisco Unity Express, with which it co-resides on a service module. Because you configure its users by enabling a Cisco Unity Express user as a TimeCardView user, the installation of Cisco Unity Express is a prerequisite.

Verify that the telephones and extensions connected to the Cisco Unified CME router or Cisco Unified Communications Manager server are configured. If you have not completed the configuration, see the applicable version of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administrator Guide or the applicable version of the Cisco Unified CME Administrator Guide for the procedures. For Cisco Unified CME systems, you can use the Cisco Unity Express GUI for these procedures.

Types of TimeCardView Software Upgrades

Only one procedure is available for upgrading TimeCardView software, a clean install.

For a complete list of versions and the upgrade processes available for them, see the Release Notes for TimeCardView 7.0.

Platforms and Cisco IOS Software Images

The TimeCardView application uses a set of commands that are similar in structure to Cisco IOS software commands. However, TimeCardView commands do not affect the Cisco IOS configuration.

See the Release Notes for TimeCardView 7.0.x for detailed information about the supported TimeCardView software images and hardware platforms.

TimeCardView is supported on:

Cisco 1861 Integrated Services Router

Enhanced network module (NME-CUE). The NME-CUE is a 24-port module that stores a maximum of 250 voice mailboxes and 300 hours of voice messages.

System limits and license information for NME-CUE and information about Interactive Voice Response (IVR) licenses, as well as for the Cisco 1861 are in the Release Notes for Cisco Unity Express. System limits and license information for TimeCardView are in the Release Notes for TimeCardView7.0.x.

This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/).

Installing TimeCardView

Installing this product entails only the first step below unless you intend to have TimeCardView integrate with Intuit's QuickBooks, in which case you must carry out the second and third steps in sequence:

1. Installing the TimeCardView Package File on Cisco Unity Express , and

2. Configuring An Autologin for TimeCardView on Intuit's QuickBooks

3. Installing the TCVQB-Connector on Intuit's QuickBooks Server.

Configuring An Autologin for TimeCardView on Intuit's QuickBooks

Although the description of this step does not fall within the scope of the present guide, you must nonetheless configure an autologin for TimeCardView on the QuickBooks server at this point. For instructions on this procedure, see the TimeCardView GUI Guide or the QuickBooks documentation.

Installing the TCVQB-Connector on Intuit's QuickBooks Server

The TCVQB Connector is the utility that enables TimeCardView and QuickBooks to communicate; you must install it on the server running QuickBooks and set its parameters for interfacing with TimeCardView.

QuickBooks must be up and running when you install the TCVQB-Connector. During the installation, the installer prompts you to enter:

a port number for the Connector to use to communicate with TimeCardView on the Cisco Unity Express module

the path to and name of your QuickBooks company file, for example, C:\QBFiles\acme.QBW.

The default port number is 57343. You can change this after installation, by using Notepad to edit the TCVConfig.ini file, which you find in the same folder where you installed the Connector. Your changes do not take effect until you restart the TCVQB-Connector.

Access the The TCVQB-Connector log via the icon in the systray on the machine running QuickBooks. The key to the log is as follows:

1 — errors, 2 — warnings and errors, 3 — debug messages, warnings and errors,

You must configure QuickBooks to allow TimeCardView access to the necessary files. For instructions, see the TimeCardView GUI Guide or the QuickBooks documentation.
