[cisco-voip] Cisco Jabber for Windows/MAC in Phone Only Mode

[David Schulz]

Thanks for info, Anthony. I was able to install the Jabber client in phone only mode… using the install switches. On install it puts this information in the bootstrap folder….

msiexec.exe /i CiscoJabberSetup.msi CLEAR=1 PRODUCT_MODE=Phone_Mode TFTP=10.1.1.1 AUTHENTICATOR=CUCM CCMCIP=10.1.1.1 CTI=10.1.1.1

I tried the SRV install… the configuration on the server is correct and verified with nslookup. however, the client won’t request it. It would be nice if Cisco would have left these options available on the Advanced Setting page (shrug).

Unfortunately, the Cisco Jabber for MAC doesn’t have this install as an option.

I tend to skip over the phone only sections as it doesn't apply to me, but since I've seen it mentioned quite a few times, I thought I'd go back in and see what I can find for you.

I worked great and by only requiring the configuration of the TFTP, CCMCIP and CTI services. In the 10.x version of the Cisco Jabber… they decided to use an SRV record (_cisco-uds) for this. And, they have nicely decided to remove the manual method. There are a couple documents on what is in the SRV record, but no real directions on exactly what is required, or any configuration examples that I can find. I am using 2003 Server to build the SRV in my lab, which looks the way it should be. However, I don’t appears to work. Does anyone have Jabber 10.5) working in Phone Only mode?  Is there a configuration that you can share?  Any help would be appreciated.
