What is Cisco IP Communicator?

Cisco IP Communicator is a desktop application that turns your computer into a full-featured

Cisco IP Phone, allowing you to place, receive, and otherwise handle calls. If you install

Cisco IP Communicator on a laptop or portable computer, you can use Cisco IP Communicator (and

all of your phone services and settings) from any location where you can connect to the corporate

network. For example, if you are on a business trip you can use Cisco IP Communicator to receive calls

and check voice messages while online. Or, if you are working from home, co-workers can reach you

by dialing your work number.

To get started installing and using Cisco IP Communicator, see the “Quick Start Checklist” section on

page 2.

For an introduction to Cisco IP Communicator features, see the “An Overview of

Cisco IP Communicator” section on page 10.
