CUCMBE 6.0(1)

I downloaded and installed the cisco TSP plugin from CCM onto a client
machine. I completed all of the directions in the readme file for setup. I
configured the modem settings for CTI and the user. The user profile in CCM
has CTI control checked and the phone is associated to the user. One thing I
noticed in the readme file for CiscoTSP is that is mentions adding CTI ports
and CTI route Points. I didn't add them because I did not understand why
they would be needed. Plus, the readme mentions nothing about their purpose.
I wouldn't imagine that they would be needed and I've never had to use them
on previous version of CCM.

When I try to make a test call from Outlook or from Dialer.exe it fails. I'm
never able to control the IP phone from the desktop and I also do not see
the ciscotsp as an outgoing line option in either Outlook or Dialer.exe

Any advice on getting the dial from Outlook feature working or maybe a
pointer to another option for making this work? I saw something about a
Netsoft freeware program on the Net. Has anyone used this?

Thanks,
Jason

O the client PC, have you looked at the traces for the cisco TSP? If
your not seeing the cisco Lines (at least in previous versions) then
it is not able to login to the call manager and get those resources.
Have you tried disabling firewalls, etc on the PC?

Then again, I have had a bugger of a time getting the TSP to work in
the past. Sometimes it took several reboots and it worked for awhile.
One time, I did several reboots and it did not work and I forgot about
it and when I looked 2-3 days later the PC was working with the cisco
lines out of the blue.

Miken - Thanks. I completed the same tasks you listed below. I also
previously tried adding the user to the CTI control group. I'm still having
no luck. I'm suspecting a firewall issue at this time but I won't be able to
test further until next week. Thanks for the reply!! I will try and remember
to post my findings.
