Using Cisco Click to Call

If your company uses the Cisco® Unified Communications Manager call-processing system, the Cisco Click to Call application will allow you to automatically call co-workers, business partners, and customers from your computer without entering telephone numbers.

You can place a call from any field that displays a telephone number. For example, you can place a call from the phone fields in TMWSuite File Maintenance, TMW Operations, CRM Right, Inventory Services, and Fuel Dispatch.

Before you can set up Click to Call to work with Trimble applications, you must install the Cisco Unified Personal Communicator on your computer.

You can install Click to Call on your desktop system if your company uses the Cisco Unified Communications Manager call-processing system and has a Technical Support Services Agreement with Cisco.

Contact your company’s phone administrator or system administrator about installing Click to Call on your desktop system.

As a courtesy, Trimble provides instructions on using Cisco Click to Call. The information included here is relevant to Cisco Click to Call Version 7.0 using a Windows XP operating system. Trimble does not track updates to third party applications. If you are using a later version of Click to Call and/or a different operating system, you should consult the vendor’s user documentation for instructions.
