Deploying and configuring the Cisco IP Communicator application
1. Decide which of the
following methods you want
to use to deploy
Cisco IP Communicator:
• Place an installer package
on a shared location where
you or a user can run it
• Perform installation for an
entire enterprise by using a
software distribution tool
• Deploy directly on an
individual’s computer
Users must have
administrative privileges on
their PCs in order for you to
deploy software using the first
option.
If you use a Microsoft
Windows installer package,
you can provide command line
options to specify values
during deployment. See the
topic at right for details.
