How do I switch between controlling my Desk Phone and using Jabber as a Softphone?

Switching Jabber Between Phone Control Modes

 

Jabber is able to function as a softphone allowing you to make and recieve calls via your computer and as a remote control for your deskphone.

 

To change modes click the phone control button:

 

In the Phone Control menu:

 

Select the drop down for "Device for calls".

  • If you have a dedicated Cisco desk phone it will be listed here and typically displays as "Cisco 8811" or "Cisco 8851"
  • The "Use my computer" option will make Jabber function as a Softphone, allowing you to make calls via your computer.
