Cisco Jabber Features for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android

Jabber to Jabber Call

Applies to: All clients

Jabber to Jabber voice and video calling provides basic calling capabilities between two Cisco Jabber clients without using Cisco Unified Communications Manager. If Cisco Jabber users are not registered with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, they can still make Jabber to Jabber calls from Cisco Jabber.

Note


  • Jabber to Jabber calling is only supported for users who authenticate to the Cisco WebEx Messenger service.

  • For Cisco Jabber for Windows clients, we recommend running Internet Explorer 10 or greater while using the Jabber to Jabber calling feature. Using the feature with previous versions of Internet Explorer or with Internet Explorer in Compatibility Mode can cause issues. These issues are with Cisco Jabber client login (non-SSO setup) or Jabber to Jabber calling capability (SSO setup).


Jabber to Jabber Call Experience

A Jabber to Jabber call does not support all the features of a Cisco Unified Communication Manager call. Users can make a Jabber to Jabber call with only one contact at a time. In a Jabber to Jabber call, users can experience any of the following scenarios:
  • Cisco Jabber for mobile clients does not support HD video in portrait mode. To achieve HD video, you need to rotate the phone from portrait to landscape mode during the call.

  • If two users start a Jabber to Jabber call to each other at the same time, the call is automatically connected. In such case, users do not receive any incoming call notification.

  • When users are on a Jabber to Jabber call and start another call, the ongoing call ends immediately, even if the person they called does not answer.

  • When on a Jabber to Jabber call and they receive an incoming Jabber to Jabber call, the End Call And Answer option is displayed. When they select this button, the ongoing Jabber to Jabber call ends and the incoming call is answered.

  • For Jabber to Jabber calls on Cisco Jabber for mobile clients:
    • Cisco Jabber for mobile clients does not support HD video in portrait mode. To achieve HD video, you need to rotate the phone from portrait to landscape mode during the call.

    • When users are on a Jabber to Jabber call and they make a phone call, the ongoing Jabber to Jabber call ends immediately, even if the remote party does not answer.

    • When users are on a mobile call, they cannot answer any Jabber to Jabber call. The incoming Jabber to Jabber call is listed as a missed call.

    • When users are on a Jabber to Jabber call and they receive an incoming mobile call:
      • On an iPhone, the Jabber to Jabber call ends immediately, even if they do not answer the call.

      • On an Android phone, the Jabber to Jabber call ends immediately when they answer the incoming mobile call.

Supported In-Call Features

The following features are supported during a Jabber to Jabber call:
  • End a Jabber to Jabber call

  • Mute or unmute the audio

  • Start or stop the video

  • Volume control

  • Open or close or move the self-video

  • Switch to front or back camera. This feature is only supported on the Cisco Jabber mobile clients.

Jabber to Jabber Call Cloud Deployment

Cloud deployment for Jabber to Jabber call uses the SDP/HTTPS setup. For cloud deployment, ensure the following:
  • Install the following root certificate to use the Jabber to Jabber call feature: GoDaddy Class 2 Certification Authority Root Certificate. To resolve any warnings about this certificate name, install the required GoDaddy certificate.

  • Include the following servers in the proxy server bypass list:
    • https://locus-a.wbx2.com/locus/api/v1

    • https://conv-a.wbx2.com/conversation/api/v1

    For information on proxy server lists, see the Configure Proxy Settings in the Cisco Jabber Deployment Guides.
  • Enable the range of media ports and protocols for RTP/SRTP over UDP: 33434-33598 and 8000-8100. For Jabber to Jabber call setup over HTTPS, enable port 443.

  • Before you enable the Jabber to Jabber calling feature, complete the following tasks:
For cloud deployments, Jabber to Jabber calling is configured on the Cisco WebEx Messenger Administration tool with one of the following methods:
  • Using the P2P settings in the Configuration Tab section. For more information, see the Cisco WebEx Messenger Administrator's Guide.

  • Using the Internal VoIP and External VoIP settings in the policy editor for Cisco WebEx Messenger Administration tool. You can control the video services for Jabber to Jabber calls using the Internal Video and External Video policy actions. For more information, see the Policy Editor section of the Cisco WebEx Messenger Administration Guide.Jabber to Jabber calling can be enabled for groups of users or all users.

Jabber to Jabber Hybrid Mode

Jabber to Jabber Call Experience in Hybrid Mode

In addition to the limitations for Jabber to Jabber, the following are the scenarios that occur when using Jabber to Jabber calls and Cisco Unified Communications Manager calls:

  • When users are on a Jabber to Jabber call and make a Cisco Unified Communications Manager call, the ongoing Jabber to Jabber call ends immediately, even if the remote party does not answer.

  • When users are on a Jabber to Jabber call and resume a Cisco Unified Communications Manager call from on hold, the Jabber to Jabber call ends immediately.

  • When users are on a Jabber to Jabber call and receive an incoming Cisco Unified Communications Manager call, a notification with an End Call And Answer button displays. If your user selects this button the ongoing Jabber to Jabber call ends and the incoming call is answered.

  • When users receive a Cisco Unified Communications Manager call, they can place the ongoing Cisco Unified Communications Manager call on hold to answer the new call.

  • When users are on a Cisco Unified Communications Manager call and they choose to make a Jabber to Jabber call, the Cisco Unified Communications Manager call is put on hold immediately, even if the participant in the Jabber to Jabber call does not answer the call.

  • When users are on a Cisco Unified Communications Manager call and they answer an incoming Jabber to Jabber call, the Cisco Unified Communications Manager call is put on hold immediately.

  • If your user’s line is configured on Cisco Unified Communications Manager to auto-answer calls and they receive an incoming Cisco Unified Communications Manager call when they are on a Jabber to Jabber call, the Jabber to Jabber call ends immediately without notification and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager call is answered.

Decrypt the Problem Report

The command line tool CiscoJabberPrtDecrypter.exe for decrypting the problem reports is only available on Windows machines and is included in the installer. The tool has the following arguments:
  • --help—Show the help message.

  • --privatekey—Specify the private key file, this is a privacy enhanced mail (.pem) or a personal information exchange PKCS#12 (.pfx) format.

  • --password—Optional, if the input private key file is password protected.

  • --encryptionkey—Specify the encryption secret key file, for example file.zip.esk.

  • --encryptedfile—Specify the encrypted file, for example file.zip.enc.

  • --outputfile—Specify the output file, for example decryptedfile.zip.

  • --mobile—Specify for the problem reports from mobile clients.

Before You Begin

To decrypt problem reports you need the following:
  • Two files from the zip file created when you generated a problem report using encryption:
    • file.zip.esk—The encrypted symmetric key.

    • file.zip.enc—The original data encrypted using AES256.

  • Private Key for the certificate used for encrypting the data.

Procedure
    Step 1   Open a command prompt in Windows.
    Step 2   Navigate to the C:\Program Files(x86)\Cisco Systems\Cisco Jabber\ directory.
    Step 3   Enter the command and your parameters.

    Example for desktop clients: CiscoJabberPrtDecrypter.exe --privatekey C:\PRT\PrivateKey.pfx --password 12345 --encryptedfile C:\PRT\file.zip.enc --encryptionkey C:\PRT\file.zip.esk --outputfile C:\PRT\decryptedfile.zip

    Example for mobile clients: CiscoJabberPrtDecrypter.exe --privatekey C:\PRT\PrivateKey.pfx --password 12345 --encryptedfile C:\PRT\file.zip.enc --encryptionkey C:\PRT\file.zip.esk --outputfile C:\PRT\decryptedfile.zip --mobile

    If the decryption is successful the output file is created. If there is an invalid parameter the decryption fails and an error is shown on the command line.


    Define a Port Range on the SIP Profile

    You can configure separate UDP port ranges for the audio stream and video stream for SIP calls. Since video typically requires considerably more bandwidth than audio, you can use dedicated port ranges for each media type to simplify network bandwidth management. It also helps against audio stream degradation by ensuring that the audio stream have a dedicated channel separated from the higher-bandwidth video stream.

    Telemetry

    Cisco Jabber Analytics

    Applies to: All clients

    To improve your experience and product performance, Cisco Jabber may collect and send non-personally identifiable usage and performance data to Cisco. The aggregated data is used by Cisco to understand trends in how Jabber clients are being used and how they are performing.

    You must install the following root certificate to use the telemetry feature: GoDaddy Class 2 Certification Authority Root Certificate. The telemetry server certificate name is "metrics-a.wbx2.com". To resolve any warnings about this certificate name, install the required GoDaddy certificate. For more information about certificates, see the Planning Guide.

    By default, the telemetry data is on. You can configure the following telemetry parameters:
    • Telemetry_Enabled—Specifies whether analytics data is gathered. The default value is true.

    • TelemetryEnabledOverCellularData—Specifies whether analytics data is sent over cellular data and Wi-Fi (true), or Wi-Fi only (false). The default value is true.

    • TelemetryCustomerID—This optional parameter specifies the source of analytic information. This ID can be a string that explicitly identifies an individual customer, or a string that identifies a common source without identifying the customer. We recommend using a tool that generates a Global Unique Identifier (GUID) to create a 36 character unique identifier, or to use a reverse domain name.

    For more information about these parameters, see the Parameters Reference Guide.

    Full details on what analytics data Cisco Jabber does and does not collect can be found in the Cisco Jabber Supplement to Cisco’s On-Line Privacy Policy at https:/​/​www.cisco.com/​web/​siteassets/​legal/​privacy_​02Jun10.html.

    Enterprise Groups for Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service

    Applies to: All clients

    Users can add groups to their contact lists in Cisco Jabber. The groups are created in the enterprise's Microsoft Active Directory and then are imported into Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service. When enterprise groups are set up and enabled on Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service, Cisco Jabber users can add enterprise groups to their contact list from the client.

    Using enterprise groups is supported when on the Expressway for Mobile and Remote Access.

    Prerequisites for Enabling Enterprise Groups in Cisco Jabber

    • Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 11.0(1) or later

    • Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service Release 11.0 or later

    Before you can set up enabling adding enterprise groups to contact lists for your users, you must configure the feature on the server, see Enable Enterprise Groups section. For more information about enterprise groups, see the Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Release 11.0(1) .

    Limitations

    • Enterprise Groups for Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service is available to on-premises deployments only. Enterprise Groups are already supported on cloud deployments.

    • Security Group is supported from Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service 11.5 or later.

    • Presence is unsupported for contacts in enterprise groups of over 100 people who are IM-enabled, unless the user has other presence subscriptions for a contact. For example, if users have someone added to their personal contact list who is also listed in an enterprise group of over 100 people, then presence is still displayed for that person. Users who are not IM-enabled do not affect the 100 person presence limit.

    • Nested groups cannot be imported as part of an enterprise group. For example, in an AD group, only group members are imported, not any embedded groups within it.

    • If your users and AD Group are in different organizational units (OUs), then before you add the contacts to the AD Group, you must sync both OUs with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, and not just the OU that the AD Group is in.

    • If you have the minimum character query set to the default value of 3 characters, then user searches for enterprise groups will exclude any two letter group names (for example: HR). To change the minimum character query for EDI, BDI, or UDS connections, change the value of the MinimumCharacterQuery parameter.

    • Enterprise groups with special characters cannot be located during searches if the special characters are among the first 3 characters (or whatever value you have defined as the minimum character query) of the name.

    • We recommend that you only change the distinguished name of enterprise groups outside of core business hours, as it would cause unreliable behavior from the Cisco Jabber client for users.

    • If you make changes to enterprise groups, you must synch the Active Directory with Cisco Unified Communications Manager afterwards in order for the changes to be applied.

    • When a directory group is added to Cisco Jabber, the profile photos are not displayed immediately because of the sudden load that the contact resolution places on the directory server. However, if you right-click on each group member to view their profile, the contact resolution is resolved and the photo is downloaded.

    • Intercluster peering with a 10.x cluster: If the synced group includes group members from a 10.x intercluster peer, users on the higher cluster cannot view the presence of synced members from the 10.x cluster. This is due to database updates that were introduced in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 11.0(1) for the Enterprise Groups sync. These updates are not a part of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Releases 10.x. To guarantee that users homed on higher cluster can view the presence of group members homed on the 10.x cluster, users on the higher cluster should manually add the 10.x users to their contact lists. There are no presence issues for manually added user.

    UDS Limitations (Applies to Users on the Expressway for Mobile and Remote Access or with UDS on-premises)

    There is no search capability for enterprise groups when connecting using UDS, so users must know the exact enterprise group name that they want to add to their contact lists. There is a search capability for enterprise groups when connecting using EDI or BDI.

    Enterprise group names are case-sensitive.

    If two enterprise groups within an AD Forest have the same name, then users get an error when trying to add the group. This issue does not apply to clients using EDI or BDI.

    Enable Enterprise Groups

    The enterprise parameter Directory Group Operations on Cisco IM and Presence in the Enterprise Parameter Configuration window allows you to enable or disable the Enterprise Groups feature. Follow these steps to enable the Enterprise Groups feature.

    Before You Begin

    The Cisco DirSync feature service must be running.

    Procedure
      Step 1   From Cisco Unified CM Administration, choose System > Enterprise Parameters. The Enterprise Parameters Configuration window appears.
      Step 2   In the User Management Parameters section, from the Directory Group Operations on Cisco IM and Presence drop-down list, select Enabled .
      Step 3   (Optional) From the Syncing Mode for Enterprise Groups drop-down list, choose one of the following:
      • None—If you choose this option, the Cisco Intercluster Sync Agent service does not synchronize the enterprise groups and the group membership records between IM and Presence Service clusters.
      • Differential Sync—This is the default option. If you choose this option, after all the enterprise groups and group membership records from remote IM and Presence Service cluster are synchronized, the subsequent syncs synchronize only the records that were updated since the last sync occurred.
      • Full Sync—If you choose this option, after all the enterprise groups and group membership records from the remote IM and Presence Service cluster are synchronized, all the records are synchronized during each subsequent sync.
      Note   

      If the Cisco Intercluster Sync Agent service is not running for more than 24 hours, we recommend that you select the Full Sync option to ensure that the enterprise groups and group membership records synchronize completely. After all the records are synchronized, that is, when the Cisco Intercluster Sync Agent has been running for about 30 minutes, choose the Differential Sync option for the subsequent syncs. Keeping the value of this parameter set to 'Full Sync' for a longer period could result in extensive CPU usage and therefore we recommend that you use the Full Sync option during off-business hours.

      Step 4   (Optional) Set the LDAP Directory Synchronization Schedule parameters in the LDAP Directory Configuration window to configure the interval at which Microsoft Active Directory groups are synchronized with Cisco Unified Communications Manager. For more information, see the online help.
      Step 5   Click Save.

      Far End Camera Control (FECC)

      Applies to: All clients

      In calls that support far-end camera control (FECC), you can adjust the far-end camera to give you a better view during video calls. FECC is available to users if the endpoint that they are calling supports it.

      You can configure whether users can access FECC-enabled endpoints. Disabling the configuration parameter means that users are not provided with the ability to control far-end camera endpoints, even if the endpoint is capable. From a user experience, with FECC disabled, it works the same as dialing in to an endpoint that is not FECC enabled.

      To disable FECC, set the EnableFecc parameter to false. For more information about this parameter, see the Parameters Reference Guide.

      Limitations

      FECC is only supported in point-to-point calls, but not in group calls or conferences where multiple video connections are connecting to the same bridge.

      FECC is only supported in Softphone mode.

      Bridge Escalations

      Applies to: All clients

      Bridge escalations allow users to quickly escalate a group chat to a conference call. Participants are automatically added without the need to merge them into the conference call.

      Procedure
        Step 1   Enable bridge escalations in Cisco Jabber clients by setting the EnableBridgeConferencing parameter to true in the jabber-config.xml file.
        Step 2   (Optional) Specify a mask for the room URI in the UserBridgeUriAdmin parameter in the jabber-config.xml file. If you don't specify a mask the user can enter a DN or a SIP URI in the client.
        Step 3   Enable URI dialing to allow your users enter a SIP URI for the conference call number. For more information on URI dialing, see the URI Dialing topic.

        Collaboration Meeting Rooms

        Applies to: All clients

        Cisco Collaboration Meeting Rooms (CMR) Cloud provides easy access for users to join or start a Cisco WebEx meeting. Cisco Jabber provides users with the ability to access the meeting either using Cisco WebEx interface or join using video.

        There is a limitation on CMR Cloud join experience for attendees of scheduled CMR Cloud meetings. This limitation impacts Mac users and Windows users who have not enabled Outlook calendar integration. Due to a server limitation, attendees for these deployment scenarios will only receive the option to join the meeting using Cisco WebEx. Hosts will enjoy the full experience, as will anyone invited to join ad hoc CMR Cloud meetings.

        Users who are in CTI control mode will only be able to join using WebEx.

        Before You Begin

        Cisco Collaboration Meeting Rooms Cloud is available on Cisco WebEx Meeting Center.

        Procedure
          Step 1   Configure the Collaboration Meeting Room options using the configuration guides available here: https:/​/​www.cisco.com/​c/​en/​us/​support/​conferencing/​webex-meeting-center/​products-installation-and-configuration-guides-list.html
          Step 2   Ensure Collaboration Meeting Rooms are enabled for your users on Cisco WebEx Meeting Center.
          Step 3   Collaboration Meeting Room features uses SIP URI, you must enable URI dialing for your users on Cisco Unified Communications Manager. For more information on URI dialing, see the URI Dialing topic.

          Personal Rooms

          Applies to: All clients

          A personal room is a virtual conference room that is always available and can be used to meet with people. Cisco Jabber uses the personal room feature of Cisco WebEx Meeting Center to allow users to easily meet with their contacts using the Meet Now option in the client.

          Procedure
            Step 1   Personal Rooms are enabled by default for users on Cisco WebEx Meeting Center. For more information see the Cisco WebEx Meeting Center documentation available here: https:/​/​www.cisco.com/​c/​en/​us/​support/​conferencing/​webex-meeting-center/​products-installation-and-configuration-guides-list.html
            Step 2   Users can configure their personal rooms for all instant meetings by selecting Use Personal Room for all my instant meetings in Cisco WebEx Meeting Center.

            Call Preservation

            The Cisco Unified Communication Manager call preservation feature ensures that an active call is not interrupted when a Cisco Unified Communication Manager node fails or when communication fails between the device and the Cisco Unified Communication Manager node that set up the call.

            Note


            When a user on a call using Cisco Jabber for iPhone and iPad switches from wi-fi to mobile data network or vice-versa, the interface IP address is lost and the call is preserved. When the user returns to the initial network and the IP address is restored, they can continue with the call.


            For detailed information about call preservation, see the relevant release of Manager System Guide for Cisco Unified Communication Manager at http:/​/​www.cisco.com/​c/​en/​us/​support/​unified-communications/​unified-communications-manager-callmanager/​products-maintenance-guides-list.html.

            Prompts for Presence Subscription Requests

            Applies to: All clients

            You can enable or disable prompts for presence subscription requests from contacts within your organization. The client always prompts users for presence subscription requests from contacts outside your organization.

            Users specify privacy settings in the client as follows:
            Inside Your Organization

            Users can choose to allow or block contacts from inside your organization.

            • If users choose to allow presence subscription requests and
              • you select Allow users to view the availability of other users without being prompted for approval, the client automatically accepts all presence subscription requests without prompting users.

              • you do not select Allow users to view the availability of other users without being prompted for approval, the client prompts users for all presence subscription requests.

            • If users choose to block contacts, only their existing contacts can see their availability status. In other words, only those contacts who have already subscribed to the user's presence can see their availability status.


            Note


            When searching for contacts in your organization, users can see the temporary availability status of all users in the organization. However, if User A blocks User B, User B cannot see the temporary availability status of User A in the search list.


            Outside Your Organization

            Users can choose the following options for contacts from outside your organization:

            • Have the client prompt them for each presence subscription request.

            • Block all contacts so that only their existing contacts can see their availability status. In other words, only those contacts who have already subscribed to the user's presence can see their availability status.

            Before You Begin

            This feature is supported for on-premises deployments and is only available on Cisco Unified Communications Manager, release 8.x or later.

            Procedure
              Step 1   Open the Cisco Unified CM IM and Presence Administration interface.
              Step 2   Select Presence > Settings.

              The Presence Settings window opens.

              Step 3   Select Allow users to view the availability of other users without being prompted for approval to disable prompts and automatically accept all presence subscription requests within your organization.
              This option has the following values:
              • Selected—The client does not prompt users for presence subscription requests. The client automatically accepts all presence subscription requests without prompting the users.

              • Cleared—The client prompts users to allow presence subscription requests. This setting requires users to allow other users in your organization to view their availability status.

              Step 4   Select Save.

              Temporary Presence

              Applies to: All clients

              Disable temporary presence to increase privacy control. When you configure this parameter, Cisco Jabber displays availability status only to contacts in a user's contact list.

              Before You Begin

              This feature is supported for on-premises deployment and requires Cisco Unified Communications Manager, release 9.x or later.

              Procedure
                Step 1   Open the Cisco Unified CM IM and Presence Administration interface.
                Step 2   Select Presence > Settings > Standard Configuration.
                Step 3   Uncheck Enable ad-hoc presence subscriptions and then select Save.

                Cisco Jabber does not display temporary presence. Users can see availability status only for contacts in their contact list.


                Disable Temporary Presence in Cisco Unified Presence

                Disable temporary presence to increase privacy control. When you configure this parameter, Cisco Jabber displays availability status only to contacts in a user's contact list.

                Before You Begin

                This feature is supported for on-premises deployment and requires Cisco Unified Communications Manager, release 8.x or later.

                Procedure
                  Step 1   Open the Cisco Unified Presence Administration interface.
                  Step 2   Select Presence > Settings.
                  Step 3   Uncheck Enable ad-hoc presence subscriptions and then select Save.

                  Cisco Jabber does not display temporary presence. Users can see availability status only for contacts in their contact list.


                  URI Dialing

                  This feature is supported for on-premises deployments. URI dialing is enabled in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, release 9.1(2) or later.

                  This feature is enabled in the jabber-config.xml file using the EnableSIPURIDialling parameter.

                  Example: <EnableSIPURIDialling>True</EnableSIPURIDialling>

                  For more information on the values of the parameter, see the Parameters Reference Guide.

                  Applies to: All clients

                  Important:

                  The mobile clients don't support URI dialing when the Dial via Office-Reverse feature is enabled.

                  URI dialing allows users to make calls and resolve contacts with Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI). For example, a user named Adam McKenzie has the following SIP URI associated with his directory number: amckenzi@example.com. URI dialing enables users to call Adam with his SIP URI rather than his directory number.

                  For detailed information on URI dialing requirements, such as valid URI formats, as well as advanced configuration including ILS setup, see the URI Dialing section of the System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager .

                  Associate URIs to Directory Numbers

                  When users make URI calls, Cisco Unified Communications Manager routes the inbound calls to the directory numbers associated to the URIs. For this reason, you must associate URIs with directory numbers. You can either automatically populate directory numbers with URIs or configure directory numbers with URIs.

                  Automatically Populate Directory Numbers with URIs

                  When you add users to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, you populate the Directory URI field with a valid SIP URI. Cisco Unified Communications Manager saves that SIP URI in the end user configuration.

                  When you specify primary extensions for users, Cisco Unified Communications Manager populates the directory URI from the end user configuration to the directory number configuration. In this way, automatically populates the directory URI for the user's directory number. Cisco Unified Communications Manager also places the URI in the default partition, which is Directory URI.

                  The following task outlines, at a high level, the steps to configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager so that directory numbers inherit URIs:

                  Procedure
                    Step 1   Add devices.
                    Step 2   Add directory numbers to the devices.
                    Step 3   Associate users with the devices.
                    Step 4   Specify primary extensions for users.

                    What to Do Next

                    Verify that the directory URIs are associated with the directory numbers.

                    Configure Directory Numbers with URIs

                    You can specify URIs for directory numbers that are not associated with users. You should configure directory numbers with URIs for testing and evaluation purposes only.

                    To configure directory numbers with URIs, do the following:

                    Procedure
                      Step 1   Open the Cisco Unified CM Administration interface.
                      Step 2   Select Call Routing > Directory Number.

                      The Find and List Directory Numbers window opens.

                      Step 3   Find and select the appropriate directory number.

                      The Directory Number Configuration window opens.

                      Step 4   Locate the Directory URIs section.
                      Step 5   Specify a valid SIP URI in the URI column.
                      Step 6   Select the appropriate partition from the Partition column.
                      Note   

                      You cannot manually add URIs to the system Directory URI partition. You should add the URI to the same route partition as the directory number.

                      Step 7   Add the partition to the appropriate calling search space so that users can place calls to the directory numbers.
                      Step 8   Select Save.

                      Associate the Directory URI Partition

                      You must associate the default partition into which Cisco Unified Communications Manager places URIs with a partition that contains directory numbers.

                      Important:

                      To enable URI dialing, you must associate the default directory URI partition with a partition that contains directory numbers.

                      If you do not already have a partition for directory numbers within a calling search space, you should create a partition and configure it as appropriate.

                      Procedure
                        Step 1   Open the Cisco Unified CM Administration interface.
                        Step 2   Select System > Enterprise Parameters.

                        The Enterprise Parameters Configuration window opens.

                        Step 3   Locate the End User Parameters section.
                        Step 4   In the Directory URI Alias Partition row, select the appropriate partition from the drop-down list.
                        Step 5   Click Save.

                        The default directory URI partition is associated with the partition that contains directory numbers. As a result, Cisco Unified Communications Manager can route incoming URI calls to the correct directory numbers.

                        You should ensure the partition is in the appropriate calling search space so that users can place calls to the directory numbers.

                        Enable FQDN in SIP Requests for Contact Resolution

                        To enable contact resolution with URIs, you must ensure that Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in SIP requests.

                        Procedure
                          Step 1   Open the Cisco Unified CM Administration interface.
                          Step 2   Select Device > Device Settings > SIP Profile.

                          The Find and List SIP Profiles window opens.

                          Step 3   Find and select the appropriate SIP profile.
                          Remember:

                          You cannot edit the default SIP profile. If required, you should create a copy of the default SIP profile that you can modify.

                          Step 4   Select Use Fully Qualified Domain Name in SIP Requests and then select Save.

                          What to Do Next

                          Associate the SIP profile with all devices that have primary extensions to which you associate URIs.

                          Voicemail Avoidance

                          Applies to: All clients

                          Voicemail avoidance is a feature that prevents calls from being answered by the mobile service provider voice mail. This feature is useful if a user receives a Mobile Connect call from the enterprise on the mobile device. It is also useful when an incoming DvO-R call is placed to the mobile device.

                          You can set up voicemail avoidance in one of two ways:

                          • Timer-controlled—(Default) With this method, you set timers on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager to determine if the call is answered by the mobile user or mobile service provider voicemail.

                          • User-controlled—With this method, you set Cisco Unified Communications Manager to require that a user presses any key on the keypad of the device to generate a DTMF tone before the call can proceed.

                          If you deploy DvO-R, Cisco recommends that you also set user-controlled voicemail avoidance. If you set user-controlled Voicemail Avoidance, this feature applies to both DvO-R and Mobile Connect calls.

                          For more information about voicemail avoidance, see the Confirmed Answer and DvO VM detection section in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide for your release.

                          Set Up Timer-Controlled Voicemail Avoidance

                          Set up the timer control method by setting the Answer Too Soon Timer and Answer Too Late Timer on either the Mobility Identity or the Remote Destination. For more information, see the Add Mobility Identity or Add Remote Destination (Optional) topics.

                          Before You Begin

                          Timer-controlled voicemail avoidance is supported on Cisco Unified Communications Manager, release 6.0 and later.

                          Set Up User-Controlled Voicemail Avoidance

                          Important:

                          User-controlled voicemail avoidance is available on Cisco Unified Communications Manager, release 9.0 and later.

                          Set up User-Controlled Voicemail Avoidance as follows:

                          1. Set up Cisco Unified Communications Manager using the Set Up Cisco Unified Communications Manager to Support Voicemail Avoidance topic.

                          2. Set up the device using one of the following topics:

                            • Enable Voicemail Avoidance on Mobility Identity

                            • Enable Voicemail Avoidance on Remote Destination

                          Important:

                          Cisco does not support user-controlled voicemail avoidance when using DvO-R with alternate numbers that the end user sets up in the client. An alternate number is any phone number that the user enters in the DvO Callback Number field on the client that does not match the phone number that you set up on the user's Mobility Identity.

                          If you set up this feature with alternate numbers, the Cisco Unified Communications Manager connects the DvO-R calls even if the callback connects to a wrong number or a voicemail system.

                                        Call Pickup

                                        Applies to: Cisco Jabber for Windows, Cisco Jabber for Mac

                                        The Call Pickup feature allows users to answer calls that come in on a directory number other than their own. Directory numbers are assigned to call pickup groups and Cisco Unified Communications Manager automatically dials the appropriate call pickup group number. Users select Pickup to answer the call.

                                        Group call pickup allows users to pick up incoming calls in another group. Users enter the group pickup number, select Pickup and Cisco Unified Communications Manager automatically dials the appropriate call pickup group number.

                                        Other group pickup allows users to pick up incoming calls in a group that is associated with their group. When the user selects Other Pickup Cisco Unified Communications Manager automatically searches for the incoming call in the associated groups.

                                        Directed call pickup allows users to pick up an incoming call on a directory number. Users enter the directory number, select Pickup and Cisco Unified Communications Manager connects the incoming call.

                                        For more information about configuring call pickup, see the Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

                                            Step 3   To save the changes in the database, select Save.

                                            Configure Other Call Pickup

                                            Other Group Pickup allows users to pick up incoming calls in an associated group. Cisco Unified Communications Manager automatically searches for the incoming call in the associated groups to make the call connection when the user selects Other Pickup.

                                            Before You Begin

                                            Before you begin, configure call pickup groups.

                                            Procedure
                                              Step 1   Open the Cisco Unified Communication Manager Administration interface.
                                              Step 2   Select Call Routing > Call Pickup Group

                                              The Find and List Call Pickup Groups window opens.

                                              Step 3   Select your call pickup group.

                                              The Call Pickup Group Configuration window opens.

                                              Step 4   In the Associated Call Pickup Group Information section, you can do the following:
                                              • Find call pickup groups and add to current associated call pickup groups.

                                              • Reorder associated call pickup groups or remove call pickup groups.

                                              Step 5   Select Save.

                                              Configure Directed Call Pickup

                                              Directed call pickup allows you to pick up a incoming call directly. The user enters the directory number in the client and selects Pickup. Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses the associated group mechanism to control if the user can pick up an incoming call using Directed Call Pickup.

                                              To enable directed call pickup, the associated groups of the user must contain the pickup group to which the directory number belongs.

                                              When the user invokes the feature and enters a directory number to pick up an incoming call, the user connects to the call that is incoming to the specified phone whether or not the call is the longest incoming call in the call pickup group to which the directory number belongs.

                                              Procedure
                                                Step 1   Configure call pickup groups and add associated groups. The associated groups list can include up to 10 groups.

                                                For more information, see topics related to defining a pickup group for Other Group Pickup.

                                                Step 2   Enable the Auto Call Pickup Enabled service parameter to automatically answer calls for directed call pickups.

                                                For more information, see topics related to configuring Auto Call Pickup.


                                                Auto Call Pickup

                                                You can automate call pickup, group pickup, other group pickup, and directed call pickup by enabling the Auto Call Pickup Enabled service parameter. When this parameter is enabled, Cisco Unified Communications Manager automatically connects users to the incoming call in their own pickup group, in another pickup group, or a pickup group that is associated with their own group after users select the appropriate pickup on the phone. This action requires only one keystroke.

                                                Auto call pickup connects the user to an incoming call in the group of the user. When the user selects Pickup on the client, Cisco Unified Communications Manager locates the incoming call in the group and completes the call connection. If automation is not enabled, the user must select Pickup and answer the call, to make the call connection.

                                                Auto group call pickup connects the user to an incoming call in another pickup group. The user enters the group number of another pickup group and selects Pickup on the client. Upon receiving the pickup group number, Cisco Unified Communications Manager completes the call connection. If auto group call pickup is not enabled, dial the group number of another pickup group, select Pickup on the client, and answer the call to make the connection.

                                                Auto other group pickup connects the user to an incoming call in a group that is associated with the group of the user. The user selects Other Pickup on the client. Cisco Unified Communications Manager automatically searches for the incoming call in the associated groups in the sequence that the administrator enters in the Call Pickup Group Configuration window and completes the call connection after the call is found. If automation is not enabled, the user must select Other Pickup, and answer the call to make the call connection.

                                                Auto directed call pickup connects the user to an incoming call in a group that is associated with the group of the user. The user enters the directory number of the ringing phone and selects Pickup on the client. Upon receiving the directory number, Cisco Unified Communications Manager completes the call connection. If auto directed call pickup is not enabled, the user must dial the directory number of the ringing phone, select Pickup, and answer the call that will now ring on the user phone to make the connection.

                                                For more information about Call Pickup, see the Feature Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

                                                  Applies to: Cisco Jabber for Windows, Cisco Jabber for Mac

                                                  Configure Persistent Chat

                                                  Persistent chat must be enabled and configured on Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service before it can be used by the client.

                                                  Before You Begin

                                                  Persistent chat is only available on Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service 10.0 and later.

                                                  Refer to Database Setup for IM and Presence Service on Cisco Unified Communications Manager for your release for information on the database configuration necessary to support the persistent chat feature. Database configuration must be performed before continuing with this task.

                                                  Local chat message archiving must be enabled for persistent chat. Local chat message archiving is enabled on Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service using the Allow clients to log instant message history setting, for more information, see the Enable Message Settings topic.

                                                  Procedure
                                                    Step 1   Open the Cisco Unified CM IM and Presence Administration interface.
                                                    Step 2   Select Messaging > Group Chat and Persistent Chat.
                                                    Step 3   Select Enable Persistent Chat.
                                                    Step 4   Ensure the settings How many users can be in a room at one time and How many hidden users can be in a room at one time under the Occupancy Settings section contain the same, non-zero value.
                                                    Step 5   Configure the remaining settings as appropriate for your persistent chat deployment. We recommend the persistent chat settings in the following table.

                                                    Administrator Defined

                                                    Cisco recommends a value between 15 and 50. The Number of messages in chat history displayed by default setting does not apply retroactively to persistent chat rooms. Rooms created before the setting is changed will continue to use their originally configured value.

                                                    Room owners can change the number of messages displayed in chat history

                                                    Default Value

                                                    This value is not currently used by Cisco Jabber for persistent chat.

                                                    Note    Persistent Chat rooms inherit their settings at the time of creation. Values changed after a room is created only apply to rooms created after the change has taken effect.

                                                    What to Do Next

                                                    Ensure you configure any client-specific parameters for persistent chat. For more information, see the Client parameters section of the latest Parameters Reference Guide for Cisco Jabber.

                                                    Administer and Moderate Persistent Chat Rooms


                                                    Note


                                                    • Persistent Chat Rooms and their administration is for on-premises deployments only.

                                                    • Persistent Chat Rooms are not available for mobile clients.


                                                    You administer persistent chat rooms from the Jabber client by creating rooms, delegating their moderators, and specifying members. The node on which the room is created is created automatically, although you can override it and specify a specific node. Administrators and moderators are privileged users in Persistent Chat rooms. You can administer Persistent Chat rooms on any service node that you are an administrator for on Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence servers.

                                                    Administrator Capabilities
                                                    Administrators can perform the following tasks from the All Rooms tab of Persistent Chat in the client hub window:
                                                    • Create rooms. When you create a room, you automatically become the room administrator.

                                                    • Define and change up to 30 moderators for a chat room (who become room owners).

                                                    • Specify and change the room name.

                                                    • Define the maximum number of participants in a room. This number cannot be less than the number of participants already in a room.

                                                    • Add and remove room members.

                                                    • Block, remove, and revoke participants.

                                                    • Destroy rooms (which removes it from the server, but the history is not deleted).

                                                    Moderator Capabilities
                                                    Up to 30 moderators can be defined by an administrator for one Persistent Chat room. Moderators can perform the following tasks:
                                                    • Change the subject of a room.
                                                    • Edit members (which includes adding, removing, and banning them).
                                                    Room Creation
                                                    When creating a room, you can provide the following types of information:
                                                    • Room name (required, maximum 200 characters)

                                                    • Description

                                                    • Room type (public or restricted)

                                                      After the room type has been defined, it cannot be changed by anyone.

                                                    • Specify whether to add the room to your My Rooms tab (off by default)

                                                    • Add up to 30 moderators (who must have a valid Jabber ID to moderate a room).

                                                    • Room password

                                                    After you create the room, you have the option to add members to the room immediately or at a later time. Refresh the All Rooms list in order to see your new room in the list of available rooms.

                                                    Enable Persistent Chat Room Passwords

                                                    Persistent chat rooms that are password protected means that when users enter a room within a Jabber session, they must enter the password. Password protected rooms comply with the XEP-0045 specification from the XMPP Standards Foundation.

                                                    Procedure
                                                      Step 1   To set a password for a room, from the Chat Rooms tab on the hub window, select All rooms > New room > Password.
                                                      Step 2   To change the password for a room, open the chat room, click on Edit Room, select Password, then edit and save the password.

                                                      Applies to: Cisco Jabber for Desktop Clients

                                                      Cisco Jabber for Windows supports a range of Microsoft products that integrate with the application. This section describes the support and integrations for these products.

                                                      Internet Explorer

                                                      Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 or later is required. Cisco Jabber for Windows uses the Internet Explorer rendering engine to display HTML content.

                                                      Cisco Jabber for Windows requires Internet Explorer active scripting to render IMs. See https:/​/​windows.microsoft.com/​en-US/​windows/​help/​genuine/​ie-active-script for instructions on enabling active scripting.


                                                      Note


                                                      Internet Explorer 9 users in Cloud-based deployments that use Single Sign On (SSO) get security alerts when they sign in to Cisco Jabber for Windows. Add webexconnect.com to the list of websites in the Compatibility View Settings window of Internet Explorer 9 to stop these alerts.

                                                      • Microsoft SharePoint 2010

                                                      Availability status in Microsoft SharePoint sites is supported only if users access those sites with Microsoft Internet Explorer. You should add the Microsoft SharePoint site to the list of trusted sites in Microsoft Internet Explorer.

                                                      Calendar Integration

                                                      You can use the following client applications for calendar integration:
                                                      • Microsoft Outlook 2013, 32 bit and 64 bit

                                                      • Microsoft Outlook 2010, 32 bit and 64 bit

                                                      • IBM Lotus Notes 9, 32 bit

                                                      • IBM Lotus Notes 8.5.2, 32 bit

                                                      • IBM Lotus Notes 8.5.1, 32 bit

                                                      • Google Calendar

                                                      Microsoft Outlook Calendar Events

                                                      Applies to: Cisco Jabber for Windows

                                                      You must apply a setting in Microsoft Outlook so that calendar events display in Cisco Jabber for Windows.

                                                      Procedure
                                                        Step 1   Open the email account settings in Microsoft Outlook, as in the following example:
                                                        1. Select File > Account Settings.
                                                        2. Select the Email tab on the Account Settings window.
                                                        Step 2   Double-click the server name.

                                                        In most cases, the server name is Microsoft Exchange.

                                                        Step 3   Select the Use Cached Exchange Mode checkbox.
                                                        Step 4   Apply the setting and then restart Microsoft Outlook.

                                                        When users create calendar events in Microsoft Outlook, those events display in the Meetings tab.

                                                        Microsoft Outlook Presence Integration

                                                        Applies to: Cisco Jabber for Desktop Clients

                                                        To enable integration with Microsoft Outlook, you must specify SIP:user@cupdomain as the value of the proxyAddresses attribute in Microsoft Active Directory. Users can then share availability in Microsoft Outlook.

                                                        Use one of the following methods to modify the proxyAddresses attribute:

                                                        • An Active Directory administrative tool such as Active Directory User and Computers

                                                          The Active Directory User and Computers administrative tool allows you to edit attributes on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 or later.

                                                        • ADSchemaWizard.exe utility

                                                          The ADSchemaWizard.exe utility is available in the Cisco Jabber administration package. This utility generates an LDIF file that modifies your directory to add the proxyAddresses attribute to each user with the following value: SIP:user@cupdomain.

                                                          You should use the ADSchemaWizard.exe utility on servers that do not support the edit attribute feature in the Active Directory User and Computers administrative tool. You can use a tool such as ADSI Edit to verify the changes that you apply with the ADSchemaWizard.exe utility.

                                                          The ADSchemaWizard.exe utility requires Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.5 or later.

                                                        • Create a script with Microsoft Windows PowerShell

                                                          Refer to the appropriate Microsoft documentation for creating a script to enable presence in Microsoft Outlook.

                                                        Enable Presence with the Active Directory User and Computers Tool

                                                        Complete the following steps to enable presence in Microsoft Outlook for individual users with the Active Directory User and Computers administrative tool:

                                                        Procedure
                                                          Step 1   Start the Active Directory User and Computers administrative tool. You must have administrator permissions to run the Active Directory User and Computers administrative tool.
                                                          Step 2   Select View in the menu bar and then select the Advanced Features option from the drop-down list.
                                                          Step 3   Navigate to the appropriate user in the Active Directory User and Computers administrative tool.
                                                          Step 4   Double click the user to open the Properties dialog box.
                                                          Step 5   Select the Attribute Editor tab.
                                                          Step 6   Locate and select the proxyAddresses attribute in the Attributes list box.
                                                          Step 7   Select Edit to open the Multi-valued String Editor dialog box.
                                                          Step 8   In the Value to add text box, specify the following value: SIP:user@cupdomain.

                                                          For example, SIP:msmith@cisco.com.

                                                          Where the user@cupdomain value is the user's instant messaging address. cupdomain corresponds to the domain for Cisco Unified Presence or Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service.


                                                          Add Local Contacts from Microsoft Outlook

                                                          Cisco Jabber for Windows lets users search for and add local contacts in Microsoft Outlook. To enable this integration with Microsoft Outlook, you must enable Cached Exchange Mode on the Microsoft Exchange server.

                                                          To search for local contacts in Microsoft Outlook with the client, users must have profiles set in Microsoft Outlook. In addition, users must do the following:
                                                          1. Select File > Options.

                                                          2. Select the Integration tab (Calendar tab from release 11.0).

                                                          3. Select either None or Microsoft Outlook.

                                                          To add local Microsoft Outlook contacts to contact lists in the client, local contacts must have instant message addresses in Microsoft Outlook.

                                                          To show contact photos in the client interface, local contacts in Microsoft Outlook must have instant message addresses.

                                                          To communicate with local contacts in Microsoft Outlook using the client, local contacts must have the relevant details. To send instant messages to contacts, local contacts must have an instant message address. To call contacts in Microsoft Outlook, local contacts must have phone numbers.

                                                          Chat History in Microsoft Outlook

                                                          You can enable the client to automatically save chat histories to a Cisco Jabber Chats folder in the user's Microsoft Outlook application. When a user closes a chat window, the client saves the IM conversation to the Exchange server.

                                                          To enable the feature, you must:
                                                          1. Set the EnableSaveChatHistoryToExchange parameter to true in the jabber-config.xml file.

                                                          2. (optional) Set up a method to authenticate users to the Exchange server. If you don't specify an authentication method, then users can authenticate directly from the Outlook tab in the Options menu of their clients.

                                                          3. Specify the method for determining which server to use.

                                                          For more information about all of the parameters that are needed to enable this feature, see the Parameters Reference Guide.

                                                          This feature can only be enabled if users have a Cisco Unified Communications Manager account.

                                                          Limitations with Authentication Methods over Cisco Expressway for Mobile and Remote Access

                                                          If you are enabling this feature for users connecting via the Expressway for Mobile and Remote Access, the following limitations apply:

                                                          • If the client detects that the user is connecting via the Expressway, then the client uses the External Server option for the Exchange connection. If the external server is not set, then it uses the internal server.

                                                          • If the client detects that the user is not connecting via the Expressway, then the client uses the Internal Server option for the Exchange connection. If the internal server is not set, the client uses the external server.

                                                          • However, if either the internal or external server is set, but for some reason Cisco Jabber can't connect to it, the client doesn't revert to using the other server.

                                                          Authentication Modes

                                                          You must set up a method of authentication for the client to authenticate with the Exchange server. When authentication is complete, the client has access to the Exchange server which allows saving chat histories to a folder in Outlook.

                                                          If you do not specify an authentication method, then users must manually input their Exchange credentials in the Outlook tab in the client.

                                                          Authenticate Using Single Sign On for the Operating System

                                                          Applies to Cisco Jabber for Windows only.

                                                          The client uses the account details of the logged in user to authenticate with the Exchange server. This authentication method uses the Windows NT Lan Manager (NTLM) security protocol.

                                                          Note


                                                          Do not use this authentication method if some users share the same Windows account. The client authenticates with the account on the Operating System, and not with the user who is logged in to Cisco Jabber. For example, User A logs onto a Windows machine and then logs into Cisco Jabber for a morning shift. When the shift is done, Jabber is reset and User B logs into the client for the afternoon shift. Because User A is logged into the Windows account, then the chat messages from User B are saved in the Outlook account for User A.


                                                          Before You Begin

                                                          Users and their computers must use domains. Authentication using single sign on does not work if users are local Windows users.

                                                          Procedure
                                                          In the jabber-config.xml file, set the ExchangeAuthenticateWithSystemAccount parameter to true.

                                                          Authenticate by Synching Credentials

                                                          You can sync the Exchange credentials with another set of credentials for users, such as the Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence credentials. Using this method, the client uses the credentials to authenticate to the Exchange server.

                                                          Procedure
                                                            Step 1   In the jabber-config.xml file, configure the Exchange_UseCredentialsFrom parameter.
                                                            Step 2   Define the value of the parameter as the service that you want used to sync credentials. For example, <Exchange_UseCredentialsFrom>CUCM</Exchange_UseCredentialsFrom>. In this example, Cisco Unified Communications Manager is defined as the service which provides the Exchange server with credentials for authentication.

                                                            Specify Server Addresses

                                                            After you enable an authentication method for the client to access the Exchange server, you must enable a method for the client to specify the Exchange server address.

                                                            If you do not specify server addresses, then users must manually enter the internal and external Exchange servers in the client, in the Outlook > Advanced tab of the Options menu.

                                                            Detect Server Addresses Automatically

                                                            Applies to Cisco Jabber for Windows only.

                                                            You can configure the client to automatically discover the Exchange servers based on users' domain. This domain is defined when you set up the authentication method by using the domain that was specified for the user's credentials.

                                                            Procedure
                                                              Step 1   In the jabber-config.xml file, configure the ExchangeAutodiscoverDomain parameter.
                                                              Step 2   Define the value of the parameter as the domain to discover the Exchange server. The client uses the domain to search for the Exchange server at one of the following Web addresses:

                                                              https://<domain>/autodiscover/autodiscover.svc

                                                              https://autodiscover.<domain>/autodiscover/autodiscover.svc


                                                              Define Server Addresses

                                                              You can define the internal and external Exchange server addresses in the configuration file.

                                                              Procedure
                                                                Step 1   In the jabber-config.xml file, configure the InternalExchangeServer and ExternalExchangeServer parameters.
                                                                Step 2   Define the value of the parameters using the Exchange server addresses.

                                                                IBM Notes Contact Search and Calendar Integration

                                                                Applies to: Cisco Jabber for Windows

                                                                Cisco Jabber for Windows supports IBM Notes calendar integration in the Meetings tab of the client. Cisco Jabber also lets users search for and add local contacts from IBM Notes. To enable this integration with IBM Notes, you must set the following parameters:

                                                                • EnableLocalAddressBookSearch=true

                                                                • EnableLotusNotesContactResolution=true

                                                                • CalendarIntegrationType=2

                                                                The CalendarIntegrationType parameter can be overridden by users. To enable calendar integration and contact resolution with IBM Notes, users must ensure that the Calendar integration type on the Calendar tab of the Options window is set to IBM Notes.


                                                                Note


                                                                In order for users to be able to successfully add IBM Notes contacts to their contact lists, the Messaging ID field in IBM Notes must contain a valid value.


                                                                Contact Resolution for Incoming Calls

                                                                For incoming calls, Cisco Jabber for Windows does not search the address book in IBM Notes, therefore only the phone number for an IBM Notes contact shows in the call history. If Cisco Jabber users subsequently search for the contact associated with the phone number, the call history changes to show the contact's name instead of the phone number.

                                                                Custom Emoticons

                                                                Applies to: Cisco Jabber for Windows

                                                                You can add custom emoticons to Cisco Jabber for Windows by creating emoticon definitions in an XML file and saving it to the file system.


                                                                Note


                                                                To achieve optimal results, your custom emoticons should conform to the following guidelines:
                                                                • Dimensions: 17 x 17 pixels

                                                                • Transparent background

                                                                • PNG file format

                                                                • RGB colors


                                                                Procedure
                                                                  Step 1   Create a file named emoticonDefs.xml with any text editor.
                                                                  Step 2   Specify the emoticon definitions as appropriate in emoticonDefs.xml.

                                                                  See Emoticon Definitions for more information on the structure and available parameters for emoticonDefs.xml.

                                                                  Step 3   Save and close emoticonDefs.xml.

                                                                    The Emoticons folder contains the default emoticons for Cisco Jabber for Windows and the default emoticonDefs.xml.

                                                                    The CustomEmoticons folder does not exist by default. Administrators can create this folder to contain custom emoticon definitions to include in organizational deployments.

                                                                    Emoticons that you define in the CustomEmoticons folder take precedence over emoticon definitions in the default Emoticons folder.

                                                                  • %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Cisco\Unified Communications\Jabber\CSF\CustomEmoticons

                                                                    Emoticons that you define in this directory take precedence over emoticon definitions in the CustomEmoticons folder in the installation directory.

                                                                  Step 5   Restart Cisco Jabber for Windows.

                                                                  Cisco Jabber for Windows loads the custom emoticon definitions in emoticonDefs.xml.

                                                                  Remember:
                                                                  Custom emoticon definitions are available to users only if they are defined locally in emoticonDefs.xml. If you send custom emoticons to users who do not have the same emoticon definitions, those users receive the default keys, not the icons; for example:
                                                                  1. User A defines a custom emoticon in emoticonDefs.xml.

                                                                    The custom emoticon definition exists only on User A's local file system.

                                                                  2. User A sends that custom emoticon to User B.

                                                                  3. User B receives only the default key for the custom emoticon. User B does not receive the icon.

                                                                  Emoticon Definitions

                                                                  Cisco Jabber for Windows loads emoticon definitions from emoticonDefs.xml.

                                                                  The following XML snippet shows the basic structure for the emoticon definitions file:

                                                                  This element contains all emoticon definitions.

                                                                  emoticon

                                                                  This attribute defines the default key combination that renders the emoticon.

                                                                  Specify any key combination as the value.

                                                                  This attribute is required.

                                                                  defaultKey is an attribute of the emoticon element.

                                                                  image

                                                                  This attribute specifies the filename of the emoticon image.

                                                                  Specify the filename of the emoticon as the value. The emoticon image must exist in the same directory as emoticonDefs.xml.

                                                                  This attribute is required.

                                                                  text

                                                                  This attribute defines the descriptive text that displays in the Insert emoticon dialog box.

                                                                  Specify any string of unicode characters.

                                                                  text is an attribute of the emoticon element.

                                                                  order

                                                                  This attribute defines the order in which emoticons display in the Insert emoticon dialog box.

                                                                  Specify an ordinal number beginning from 1 as the value.

                                                                  order is an attribute of the emoticon element.

                                                                  This attribute is required. However, if the value of hidden is true this parameter does not take effect.

                                                                  hidden

                                                                  This attribute specifies whether the emoticon displays in the Insert emoticon dialog box.

                                                                  Specify one of the following as the value:
                                                                  true

                                                                  false
                                                                  Specifies the emoticon displays in the Insert emoticon dialog box. Users can select the emoticon from the Insert emoticon dialog box or enter the key combination to render the emoticon. This is the default value.

                                                                  This attribute is optional.

                                                                  Specify any key combination as the value.

                                                                  For example, if the value of defaultKey is :), you can specify :-) as the value of alt so that both key combinations render the same emoticon.

                                                                  This element is optional.

Users who receive this emoticon can click the icon to initiate an audio call. You should include these key combinations in any custom emoticons definition file to enable the callme emoticon.

                                                                    2. Complete the Verify Device COP File Version procedure.

                                                                    3. If necessary, create application dial rules to allow the system to route calls to the Mobile Identity phone number to the outbound gateway. Ensure that the format of the Mobile Identity phone number matches the application dial rules.

                                                                    Set Up Enterprise Feature Access Number

                                                                    Use this procedure to set up an Enterprise Feature Access Number for all Cisco Jabber calls that are made using Dial via Office-Reverse.

                                                                    The Enterprise Feature Access Number is the number that Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses to call the mobile phone and the dialed number unless a different number is set up in Mobility Profile for this purpose.

                                                                    Before You Begin

                                                                    • Reserve a Direct Inward Dial (DID) number to use as the Enterprise Feature Access Number (EFAN). This procedure is optional if you already set up a mobility profile.

                                                                    • Determine the required format for this number. The exact value you choose depends on the phone number that the gateway passes (for example, 7 digits or 10 digits). The Enterprise Feature Access Number must be a routable number.

                                                                    Procedure
                                                                      Step 1   Open the Cisco Unified CM Administration interface.
                                                                      Step 2   Select Call Routing > Mobility > Enterprise Feature Access Number Configuration.

                                                                      Step 4   In the Number field, enter the Enterprise Feature Access number.

                                                                      Enter a DID number that is unique in the system.

                                                                      To support dialing internationally, you can prepend this number with \+.

                                                                      Step 5   From the Route Partition drop-down list, choose the partition of the DID that is required for enterprise feature access.

                                                                      This partition is set under System > Service Parameters, in the Clusterwide Parameters (System - Mobility) section, in the Inbound Calling Search Space for Remote Destination setting. This setting points either to the Inbound Calling Search Space of the Gateway or Trunk, or to the Calling Search Space assigned on the Phone Configuration window for the device.

                                                                      If the user sets up the DvO Callback Number with an alternate number, ensure that you set up the trunk Calling Search Space (CSS) to route to destination of the alternate phone number.

                                                                      Step 6   In the Description field, enter a description of the Mobility Enterprise Feature Access number.
                                                                      Step 7   (Optional) Check the Default Enterprise Feature Access Number check box if you want to make this Enterprise Feature Access number the default for this system.
                                                                      Step 8   Select Save.

                                                                      Set Up Mobility Profile

                                                                      Use this procedure to set up a mobility profile for Cisco Jabber devices. This procedure is optional if you already set up an Enterprise Feature Access Number.

                                                                      Mobility profiles allow you to set up the Dial via Office-Reverse settings for a mobile client. After you set up a mobility profile, you can assign it to a user or to a group of users, such as the users in a region or location.

                                                                      Procedure

                                                                          User-controlled voicemail avoidance, which can be used in conjunction with the DvO feature, is available only on Cisco Unified Communications Manager release 9.0 and later. Timer-controlled voicemail avoidance is available on Cisco Unified Communications Manager release 6.0 and later.

                                                                          You can make DvO-R calls over Expressway for Mobile and Remote Access when you are outside corporate network. DvO-R is supported on Cisco Expressway X8.7 and Cisco Unified Communications Manager 11.0(1a)SU1.

                                                                          The DvO feature allows users to initiate Cisco Jabber outgoing calls with their work number using the mobile voice network for the device.

                                                                          Cisco Jabber supports DvO-R (DvO-Reverse) calls, which works as follows:

                                                                          1. User initiates a DvO-R call.

                                                                          2. The client notifies Cisco Unified Communications Manager to call the mobile phone number.

                                                                          3. Cisco Unified Communications Manager calls and connects to the mobile phone number.

                                                                          4. Cisco Unified Communications Manager calls and connects to the number that the user dialed.

                                                                          5. Cisco Unified Communications Manager connects the two segments.

                                                                          6. The user and the called party continue as with an ordinary call.

                                                                          Incoming calls use either Mobile Connect or the Voice over IP, depending on which Calling Options the user sets on the client. Dial via Office does not require Mobile Connect to work. However, we recommend that you enable Mobile Connect to allow the native mobile number to ring when someone calls the work number. From the Cisco Unified Communications Manager user pages, users can enable and disable Mobile Connect, and adjust Mobile Connect behavior using settings (for example, the time of day routing and Delay Before Ringing Timer settings). For information about setting up Mobile Connect, see the Set Up Mobile Connect topic.

                                                                          The following table describes the calling methods used for incoming and outgoing calls. The calling method (VoIP, Mobile Connect, DvO-R, or native cellular call) varies depending on the selected Calling Options and the network connection.

                                                                          1. Set up the Cisco Unified Communications Manager to support DvO-R. See the Set Up Cisco Unified Communications Manager to Support DvO topic for more information.

                                                                          2. Enable DvO on each Cisco Dual Mode for iPhone device. See the Set Up Dial via Office for Each Device topic for more information.

                                                                          3. Enable DvO on each Cisco Dual Mode for Android device. See the Set Up Dial via Office for Each Device topic for more information.

                                                                          Set Up Dial via Office for Each Device

                                                                          Use the following procedures to set up Dial via Office - Reverse for each TCT device.

                                                                          Use the following procedures to set up Dial via Office - Reverse for each BOT device.

                                                                          1. Add a Mobility Identity for each user.

                                                                          2. Enable Dial via Office on each device.

                                                                          3. If you enabled Mobile Connect, verify that Mobile Connect works. Dial the desk phone extension and check that the phone number that is specified in the associated Mobile Identity rings.

                                                                          Add Mobility Identity

                                                                          Use this procedure to add a mobility identity to specify the mobile phone number of the mobile device as the destination number. This destination number is used by features such as Dial via Office or mobile connect.

                                                                          You can specify only one number when you add a mobility identity. If you want to specify an alternate number such as a second mobile phone number for a mobile device, you can set up a remote destination. The mobility identity configuration characteristics are identical to those of the remote destination configuration.

                                                                          Procedure
                                                                            Step 1   Open the Cisco Unified CM Administration interface.
                                                                            Step 2   Navigate to the device that you want to configure as follows:
                                                                            1. Select Device > Phone.
                                                                            2. Search for the device that you want to configure.
                                                                            3. Select the device name to open the Phone Configuration window.
                                                                            Step 3   In the Associated Mobility Identity section, select Add a New Mobility Identity.
                                                                            Step 4   Enter the mobile phone number as the destination number.

                                                                            You must be able to rout this number to an outbound gateway. Generally, the number is the full E.164 number.

                                                                            Note   

                                                                            If you enable the Dial via Office — Reverse feature for a user, you must enter a destination number for the user's mobility identity.

                                                                            If you enable Dial via Office — Reverse and leave the destination number empty in the mobility identity:
                                                                            • The phone service cannot connect if the user selects the Autoselect calling option while using a mobile data network and VPN.

                                                                            • The phone service cannot connect if the user selects the Mobile Voice Network calling option on any type of network.

                                                                            • The logs do not indicate why the phone service cannot connect.

                                                                            Step 5   Enter the initial values for call timers.

                                                                            These values ensure that calls are not routed to the mobile service provider voicemail before they ring in the client on the mobile device. You can adjust these values to work with the end user's mobile network. For more information, see the online help in Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

                                                                            The following is an example of mobility Identity timers' information in Cisco Unified Communications Manager 9.x.

                                                                                    Choose a Rerouting Calling Search Space that includes both of the following:

                                                                                    • The partition of the desk phone extension of the user. This requirement is used by the system to provide the Dial via Office feature, not for routing calls.

                                                                                    • A route to the mobile phone number. The route to the mobile phone number (that is, the Gateway/Trunk partition) must have a higher preference than the partitions of the enterprise extension that is associated with the device.

                                                                                    Note   

                                                                                    Cisco Jabber allows users to specify a callback number for Dial via Office-Reverse calls that is different from the mobile phone number of the device, and the Rerouting Calling Search Space controls which callback numbers are reachable.

                                                                                    If the user sets up the DvO Callback Number with an alternate number, ensure that you set up the trunk Calling Search Space (CSS) to route to destination of the alternate phone number.

                                                                                  5. Select Save.

                                                                                  Use this procedure to add a remote destination to specify any alternate number as the destination number. The Mobility Identity configuration characteristics are identical to those of the remote destination configuration.

                                                                                  Alternate numbers can be any type of phone number, such as home phone numbers, conference room numbers, desk phone numbers, or multiple mobile phone numbers for additional mobile devices. You can add more than one remote destination.

                                                                                  Procedure

                                                                                    Step 2   Navigate to the device that you want to configure as follows:
                                                                                    1. Select Device > Phone.
                                                                                    2. Search for the device that you want to configure.
                                                                                    3. Select the device name to open the Phone Configuration window.
                                                                                    Step 3   In the Associated Remote Destinations section, select Add a New Remote Destination.
                                                                                    Step 4   Enter the desired phone number as the Destination Number.

                                                                                    You must be able to rout the number to an outbound gateway. Generally, the number is the full E.164 number.

                                                                                    Step 5   Enter the initial values for the following call timers:
                                                                                    1. Answer Too Soon Timer—Enter 3000
                                                                                    2. Answer Too Late Timer— Enter 20000
                                                                                    3. Delay Before Ringing Timer—0

                                                                                    • If you have Cisco Unified Communications Manager Version 9 or earlier, check the Enable Mobile Connect check box.
                                                                                    • If you have Cisco Unified Communications Manager Version 10, check the Enable Single Number Reach check box.
                                                                                    Step 7   Set up the schedule for routing calls to the mobile number.
                                                                                    Step 8   Select Save.

                                                                                    Move to Mobile

                                                                                    Applies to: Cisco Jabber for Android, Cisco Jabber for iOS

                                                                                    Users can transfer an active VoIP call from Cisco Jabber to their mobile phone number on the mobile network. This feature is useful when a user on a call leaves the Wi-Fi network (for example, leaving the building to walk out to the car), or if there are voice quality issues over the Wi-Fi network.

                                                                                    There are two ways to enable this feature. You can also disable it.

                                                                                    Description

                                                                                    Instructions

                                                                                    Handoff DN

                                                                                    The mobile device calls Cisco Unified Communications Manager using the mobile network.

                                                                                    This method requires a Direct Inward Dial (DID) number.

                                                                                    The service provider must deliver the DID digits exactly as configured. Alternately, for Cisco IOS gateways with H.323 or SIP communication to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, you can use Cisco IOS to manipulate the inbound called-party number at the gateway, presenting the digits to Cisco Unified Communications Manager exactly as configured on the handoff DN.

                                                                                    This method does not work for iPod Touch devices.

                                                                                    See the Enable Handoff from VoIP to Mobile Network topic.

                                                                                    Before You Begin

                                                                                    Determine the required values. The values that you choose depend on the phone number that the gateway passes (for example, seven digits or ten digits).

                                                                                    Procedure
                                                                                      Step 1   Open the Cisco Unified CM Administration interface.
                                                                                      Step 2   Select Call Routing > Mobility > Handoff Configuration.
                                                                                      Step 3   Enter the Handoff Number for the Direct Inward Dial (DID) number that the device uses to hand off a VoIP call to the mobile network.

                                                                                      The service provider must deliver the DID digits exactly as configured. Alternately, for Cisco IOS gateways with H.323 or SIP communication to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, you can use Cisco IOS to manipulate the inbound called-party number at the gateway, presenting the digits to Cisco Unified Communications Manager exactly as configured on the handoff number.

                                                                                      Note   

                                                                                      You cannot use translation patterns or other similar manipulations within Cisco Unified Communications Manager to match the inbound DID digits to the configured Handoff DN.

                                                                                      Step 4   Select the Route Partition for the handoff DID.

                                                                                      This partition should be present in the Remote Destination inbound Calling Search Space (CSS), which points to either the Inbound CSS of the Gateway or Trunk, or the Remote Destination CSS.

                                                                                      This feature does not use the remaining options on this page.

                                                                                      Step 5   Select Save.

                                                                                      Match Caller ID with Mobility Identity

                                                                                      To ensure that only authorized phones can initiate outbound calls, calls must originate from a phone that is set up in the system. To do this, the system attempts to match the caller ID of the requesting phone number with an existing Mobility Identity. By default, when a device initiates the Handoff feature, the caller ID that is passed from the gateway to Cisco Unified Communications Manager must exactly match the Mobility Identity number that you entered for that device.

                                                                                      However, your system may be set up such that these numbers do not match exactly. For example, Mobility Identity numbers may include a country code while caller ID does not. If so, you must set up the system to recognize a partial match.

                                                                                      Be sure to account for situations in which the same phone number may exist in different area codes or in different countries. Also, be aware that service providers can identify calls with a variable number of digits, which may affect partial matching. For example, local calls may be identified using seven digits (such as 555 0123) while out-of-area calls may be identified using ten digits (such as 408 555 0199).

                                                                                      Before You Begin

                                                                                      Set up the Mobility Identity. See the Add Mobility Identity topic.

                                                                                      To determine whether you need to complete this procedure, perform the following steps. Dial in to the system from the mobile device and compare the caller ID value with the Destination Number in the Mobility Identity. If the numbers do not match, you must perform this procedure. Repeat this procedure for devices that are issued in all expected locales and area codes.

                                                                                      Procedure
                                                                                        Step 1   Open the Cisco Unified CM Administration interface.

Ensure that you have set up both Mobility Identity and Mobile Connect for the mobile device. After the transfer feature is working, users can enable and disable Mobile Connect at their convenience without affecting the feature.

                                                                                            If the device is an iPod Touch, you can configure a Mobility Identity using an alternate phone number such as the mobile phone of the user.

                                                                                            1. Select the Owner User ID on the device page.

                                                                                            3. In the Product Specific Configuration Layout section, for the Transfer to Mobile Network option, select Use Mobility Softkey or Use HandoffDN Feature.
                                                                                            Step 5   In the User Locale field, choose English, United States.
                                                                                            Step 6   Select Save.
                                                                                            Step 7   Select Apply Config.
                                                                                            Step 8   Instruct the user to sign out of the client and then to sign back in again to access the feature.

                                                                                            What to Do Next

                                                                                            Test your settings by transferring an active call from VoIP to the mobile network.

                                                                                            Silent Monitoring and Call Recording

                                                                                            Applies to: Cisco Jabber for Windows, Cisco Jabber for Android, Cisco Jabber for iOS

                                                                                            This feature is supported for on-premises deployment and requires Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.6.

                                                                                            Cisco Jabber for iPhone and iPad and Cisco Jabber for Android require Cisco Unified Communications Manager 11.0 or later.

                                                                                            You can set up extra audio path functions for devices such as silent monitoring and call recording.

                                                                                            To enable silent monitoring and call recording, see the Monitoring and Recording section of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide for step-by-step instructions.

                                                                                            Notes:
                                                                                            • Cisco Jabber does not provide any interface to begin silent monitoring or call recording. Use the appropriate software to silently monitor or record calls.

                                                                                            • Cisco Jabber does not currently support monitoring notification tone or recording notification tone.

                                                                                            • You can use silent monitoring and call recording functionality only. Cisco Jabber does not support other functionality such as barging or whisper coaching.

                                                                                            • You might need to download and apply a device package to enable monitoring and recording capabilities on the device, depending on your version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Before you start configuring the server, do the following:
                                                                                              1. Open the Phone Configuration window for the device on which you plan to enable silent monitoring and call recording.

                                                                                              2. Locate the Built In Bridge field.

                                                                                                If the Built In Bridge field is not available on the Phone Configuration window, download and apply the most recent device packages.

                                                                                            Hunt Group

                                                                                            Applies to: All clients

                                                                                            A Hunt Group is a group of lines that are organized hierarchically, so that if the first number in the hunt group list is busy, the system dials the second number. If the second number is busy, the system dials the next number, and so on. Every hunt group has a pilot number that is also called as hunt pilot. A hunt pilot contains a hunt pilot number and an associated hunt list. Hunt pilots provide flexibility in network design. They work with route filters and hunt lists to direct calls to specific devices and to include, exclude, or modify specific digit patterns.

                                                                                            A hunt pilot number is the number that a user dials. A hunt list contains a set of line groups in a specific order. A line group comprises a group of directory numbers in a specific order. The order controls the progress of the search for available directory numbers for incoming calls. A single-line group can appear in multiple hunt lists.

                                                                                            Cisco Unified Communications Manager identifies a call that is to be routed through a defined hunt list, Cisco Unified Communications Manager finds the first available device on the basis of the order of the line groups that a hunt list defines.

                                                                                            You can let a user log in to hunt groups by configuring EnableHuntGroup parameter. For more information, see the latest Parameters Reference Guide for Cisco Jabber.

                                                                                            Cisco Unified Communications Manager 9.x and later allows configuring of automatic log out of a hunt member when there is no answer. Once the user is logged out, the system displays a log out notification regardless of whether the user is auto logged out, manually logged out, or logged out by the Cisco Unified Communications Manager administrator.

                                                                                            Hunt group features supported by the Cisco Jabber clients:

Cisco Unified Communications Manager distributes a call to an idle or available member of a line group based on the call distribution algorithm and on the Ring No Answer (RNA) Reversion timeout setting.

                                                                                            Users cannot pick up calls to a DN that belongs to a line group by using the directed call pickup feature.

                                                                                              A hunt list contains a set of line groups in a specific order. A hunt list associates with one or more hunt pilots and determines the order in which those line groups are accessed. The order controls the progress of the search for available directory numbers for incoming calls.

                                                                                              A hunt list comprises a collection of directory numbers as defined by line groups. After Cisco Unified Communications Manager determines a call that is to be routed through a defined hunt list, Cisco Unified Communications Manager finds the first available device on the basis of the order of the line group(s) that a hunt list defines.

                                                                                              A hunt list can contain only line groups. Each hunt list should have at least one line group. Each line group includes at least one directory number. A single line group can appear in multiple hunt lists.


                                                                                              Note

Hunt pilots provide flexibility in network design. They work in conjunction with route filters and hunt lists to direct calls to specific devices and to include, exclude, or modify specific digit patterns. For more information about hunt pilots, see the System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

                                                                                                    Flexible Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) allows you to specify different DSCP values to separate the audio and video streams on the network.

                                                                                                    The EnableDSCPPacketMarking parameter is used to enable or disable DSCP packet marking in the client.

                                                                                                    You can configure the DSCP values for audio calls, video calls, audio portion for video calls, and audio portion for telepresence calls separately. For better bandwidth management and to protect audio stream degradation, separate the audio stream from the higher-bandwidth video stream. This can help when the network is congested or the call quality is impacted.

                                                                                                    DSCP values are configured on Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
