Non-main Dependency mode control of a DMCC extension number allows a DMCC application to monitor and control a physical digital phone or a physical/soft IP phone. All updates sent to the physical phone, such as lamp, ringer, or display updates, are also sent to the DMCC application. Additionally, either the DMCC application or the physical phone can perform actions on the physical phone such as go off-hook, go on-hook, and press buttons.
If the application uses non-main Dependency mode control, you do not need to administer any other extension number for the application other than that already administered for the main.
Each registration (whether for Main, Dependent, or Independent) requires a license. The license required is either a DMCC license from WebLM (if one is available) or an IP_API_A license from Communication Manager.
When you administer a station for an application that uses non-main Dependency Mode control, you must enable the IP_Softphone setting. When you administer a station for an application that uses the Dependent dependency mode (or Main mode) a physical phone is required. See Administering an extension number for the station that an application monitors.
