The Shared Jabber Sandbox Environment

The Shared Jabber Sandbox makes it easy for any user to develop and test their own collaboration apps, without the need for an on-site testing environment. It offers a hosted installation of Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco Unified Presence and Cisco Unity Connection.

After receiving access credentials, you will be able to connect your web app to these servers for testing, and then make calls from the web application to the devices.

Please note that Shared Jabber Sandbox users do not have Admin access to the available UC servers: admin access is only provided with the Rich UC Sandbox.

Once you've connected to the Shared Jabber Sandbox, you can use the same credentials for testing both the Jabber Web Video Softphone and IM & Presence.

Now please follow the links below to jump down to the steps for either the Video Softphone testing or IM and Presence testing.
