An Overview of Post-Installation Configuration
Tasks
The following tables provide an overview of configuration tasks that you or the
user might need to perform before Cisco IP Communicator can function properly
or before users can access some features. The necessity of these tasks depends
upon variables such as settings on the client PC and the user’s software VPN
solution, among other factors.
• Table 4-1—Required Post-Installation Configuration Tasks
• Table 4-2—Recommended or optional Post-Installation Configuration Tasks
For a more detailed explanation of tasks that are outlined in the tables, refer to the
“Understanding Post-Installation Configuration Tasks” section on page 4-6.
Note • If you expect users to perform post-installation tasks, provide them with
detailed instructions, including access to the Cisco IP Communicator User
Guide. See the “Helping Users with Post-Installation Configuration Tasks”
section on page 4-19.
• Some settings (such as configuring a custom audio port range) can be
configured both locally (on the client PC) and remotely (in
Cisco CallManager Administration). Be aware that if a setting’s value is
modified locally, the modified value will become the active value,
overwriting or preempting a value that is specified remotely. Therefore, once
a setting has been modified on the client PC, the only way to change it is on
the client PC. See the “Understanding Local Configuration” section on
page 4-19.
