1 Desktop Popup overview 1.1 Architecture Desktop Popup is a Popup solution (caller information popup) on PC, interfaced Cisco Unified Communications Manager. It makes it possible to search a customer contact, on incoming call, based on the calling number, in a Web based or thick client CRM or custom application. The solution is based on telisca CTI Server used. This CTI Server is connected to the CTI Cisco Manager via JTAPI interface. It exploits the possibilities of a ‘super provider’ login to dynamically monitor the IP Phones on which Desktop Popup is running. The administration is thus simplified. Desktop Popup also makes it possible to dial and hang up from the IP Phone monitored by Desktop Popup. This is useful in case of integration with a CRM application.
Desktop Popup starts automatically at the beginning of the Windows session and is connected to CTI server by a HTTP request. This request remains on standby until a new telephony event or a time-out. This interface is accepted by firewalls and proxies.
