Users must select and tune audio devices before using those devices with
Cisco IP Communicator. The ideal time to do this task is at first launch after
installation. Cisco IP Communicator launches the Audio Tuning Wizard at initial
startup; users must complete the wizard before Cisco IP Communicator will
launch. If the user installs a new device after start up, Cisco IP Communicator
will not recognize the device until the user relaunches the application.

Deploying the Application
You can deploy Cisco IP Communicator using either of the following installer
packages:
• CiscoIPCommunicatorSetup.exe—This executable contains the required
Windows Installer engines and default verbose logging for typical
deployments.
• CiscoIPCommunicatorSetup.msi—This Microsoft Windows Installer
package (MSI package) allows you to provide deployment customization
using command line options. Logging is not automatically set when you use
the MSI package.
Note If users in your system have more than one network interface on their PCs or use
laptops with docking stations, be sure to read the “Selecting a Device Name”
section on page 4-9.
