Web Communicator in Deskphone mode ???
Answer
1/8/13 4:12 PM
Hi All,
 
We are developping an application which is supposed to support only deskphone mode (no softphone). The problem is that during the startup process, it seems that the sample.html require the Cisco Web Communicator to allow connection (even if we're not using media).
Do you know a way to bypass the Communicator installation ? I don't really understand why we need that it if we only use Deskphone Control.
 
Thanks for your help.
Regards

Hi,
In softphone mode, the Cisco Web Communicator (CWC) plugin runs both a call control stack (SIP) and a media engine (audio/video).
In deskphone mode, the same CWC opens a CTI (low-level protocol is called QBE) connection with CUCM to remote control another device. Bypassing the plugin would mean to have a 2-way real-time connection between the browser and CUCM, maybe in the future with technologies like web sockets for example !
To reply to your last question, the current Jabber SDK (telephony module) does require the CWC plugin whatever phone mode.

Hi Thomas,
 
Thanks for your answer. So I'm wondering now if there's any chance to run a webapplication (like Cisco jabber web) on a thin client.
If it required the Web Communicator installation on every client that will access the application url, I don't think it can work.
What's your point of view on that ?

Fabian
