Verifying telephony presence

About this task

For environments with the 8.0.2 Connect client embedded in Lotus Notes, perform the following steps to quickly verify telephony presence. The client-plugin folder included in the AE ServicesSametime plug-in installation must be accessible from a network browser. In this example, the client-plugin folder is located at http://sttest1.company.com/sametime/update-site-802/.

Procedure

  1. Logon to the embedded client.
  2. In Lotus Notes, navigate to File > Preferences > Widgets, check the box Show Widget Toolbar and the My Widgets Sidebar panel, and click OK.
  3. In the embedded Connect client, click My Widgets > Start Configuring your own widgets (or from Tools > Widgets > Getting Started with Widgets).
  4. When the Where is the info you want to use to create your widget? prompt appears, check Features and Plugins, and then click OK.
  5. Enter the URL for the site to the folder (for example, http://sttest1.company.com/sametime/update-site-802/), and then click Load.

    The client detects the telephony.status.feature 8.0.0 and status.ext.feature.8.0.0.

  6. Click Next.
  7. Click Next.
  8. Click Finish.

    A dialog box appears stating that the system wants to install unsigned plug-ins.

  9. Select Install Plug-in, and click OK for both plug-ins.
  10. Restart the embedded client for the updates to take effect.
    noteNote

    Unlike other client preferences, changes to Unified Telephony, extended status, and telephony status do not take effect until the client is restarted. Because the end user is unaware of preferences changes made using the manage preferences mechanism, a dialog box appears and displays the following message if changes are detected to any of these three preferences: Sametime has detected a configuration change from the administrator and needs to restart.

  11. From this dialog box, the user can choose to restart the client.
