Install IM and Presence Service Lync Remote Call Control Plugin on Client Computer
The Cisco Unified CM IM and Presence Service Lync Remote Call Control Plugin adds a IM and Presence Service menu item to the Microsoft Lync client interface that enables the user to select a phone device to control. You must install this plug-in if the user has multiple devices (lines). When the user selects the IM and Presence Service menu item, IM and Presence Service opens a web page in the user's default web browser. The user can select which phone device to control from this web page.
Before you begin
- Your username and password for Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service User Options.
- The administrator must assign the user to the "Standard CCM End User" Group. Confirm that you have been added to this group.
