This document describes the procedure to use Microsoft Outlook with Cisco Unified CallManager Express. It demonstrates the phone configuration in Cisco CallManager Express, the installation of Cisco CallManager Express Telephone Service Provider and the CiscoIOSTspLite driver on a personal computer (PC), and the dialing of a called party by Microsoft Outlook in representation of a phone controlled by Cisco CallManager Express.
Ensure that you meet these requirements before you attempt this configuration:
Cisco Unified CallManager Express
Microsoft Office Outlook
The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:
Cisco Unified CallManager Express version 4.x
Microsoft Office Outlook 2003
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
This document uses this network setup, see Figure 1:
Cisco Unified CallManager Express that runs on Cisco 3845
Two IP Phones controlled by the Cisco CallManager Express
One Personal Computer that runs Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Office Outlook
Refer to the Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document conventions.
The purpose of this document is to complete these tasks:
