following:
•Set a password-protected screensaver to activate after your computer has been idle for a set amount
of time.
•Use Windows Update to keep your system up-to-date with the latest software patches.
•When users change extensions, desks, etc., make sure that the access rights for their previous and
new extensions are correct.
•Set a login password that is at least 5 characters long, and contains a combination of letters and
numbers.

Contact List with Presence
You can easily make calls using a customisable contact list that is displayed on your PC, and search for a
desired contact simply and quickly. You can also see the phone status, PC status, and the absent message
of other extensions from the contact list before you make a call.
CA Client Pro Contact List CA Client Basic-Express Contact List Presence Window
•When you receive a call, information about the caller is displayed if it is registered in the contact list.
•You can set your presence to display an absent message of the current date and time, after a specified
amount of time has passed with no operations being performed. This can be enabled in Options from the
Absent Message drop-down list.
•The PC icon in the contact list shows the login status of other CA users:
: The user is logged in.
: The user is logged in, but the auto absent message has been set.
: The user is not logged in, or the status of the contact could not be confirmed over the network.
Presence is not displayed for users of CA Basic-Express; the contact entry must be opened to check the
extension’s presence.
•Each PBX in your network has a tab above the contact list with that PBX's contacts. Click a tab to view
that PBX's contacts.
•Multiple contacts can be selected at once for performing operations such as copying, deletion, etc.
Note
•To view the contacts of other PBXs in your network, each PBX must be connected to a CA Server. For
details, see the CA Server Quick Reference Guide.
•You can set which networked PBXs are displayed as tabs. From the Go To menu, select Option, then
Network Server. Tabs for up to 7 other PBXs can be displayed.
Quick Reference Guide 5
•Basic-Express users cannot use contact list tabs.
Searching for Contacts
When many contacts are displayed at once, you can narrow down the list of displayed contacts by entering a
name or part of a name into the search box.
Search All Contacts
Choose Search All from the Dial menu to search all PBX contact lists as well as your network's LDAP directory.
Enter a name or part of a name and click Search. From the search results, you can make a call or add an
LDAP directory member to your CA Client contacts.
This feature supports LDAP v3 compliant databases (e.g. Microsoft® Active Directory®). However, this feature
may not work with some LDAP compliant databases, depending on the database’s specifications.
My List
If CA Server is installed on your network, you can personalise which contacts to display in the contact list using
the My List function. My List is a convenient way to manage and display contacts that you communicate with
6 Quick Reference Guide
most often. Just drag and drop any contact from a PBX's contact list onto a My List tab. You can also
right-click a contact and select Add to My List.
Drag a contact to a tab,
or right-click a contact
and select a tab.
You can create multiple My List tabs to further organise your contacts. A maximum of 5 different My List tabs
can be created, with up to 128 contacts per tab.
Contact Lists with CA Server
If CA Server is installed on your network, multiple users can share common contact lists. Common contact
lists can be modified using the CA Web Manager of CA Server. When CA Client users log in to CA Server, the
latest common contact lists are received from CA Server. Common contacts are displayed in your contact list
enclosed by square brackets (example: "[Accounting Department]").
Restricting Contacts by Presence
If CA Server is installed on your network, you can restrict which of your contacts are available to be called by
other CA Client users, according to your presence.
Example
Quick Reference Guide 7
In one of your presence settings, Phone (Home) and Secretary are unchecked.
When that presence is set, those contacts are unavailable to be called by other CA Client users.
Network Features
If CA Server is installed on your network, you can make or transfer calls to users of other PBXs after confirming
their presence from the contact list. You can also chat with users of other PBXs. Each computer that will use
network features requires a network activation key. CA Basic-Express users cannot use network features.
CRM Integration
You can make calls directly from CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software using TAPI. CA
Basic-Express users cannot use TAPI features.
You can also make calls with Microsoft® Office Outlook® 2003/2007/2010 without using TAPI. During the
installation of CA Client, if you select to add call functions to Outlook, a toolbar containing the Dial box, Answer
button and Hang-up button will be added to Outlook.
8 Quick Reference Guide
Calls can be made directly from Outlook:
Call History
You can view your incoming and outgoing call history. Information such as the destination and duration of the
call, the time of the call, and whether the call was answered is displayed for each call. You can also save the
history list to a CSV file.
Absent Message/Forward/Do Not Disturb
You can change the absent message, forward, and do not disturb (DND) settings of your extension.
When you change your absent message, your forward/DND settings can be changed automatically, and a
feature number, such as "Extension dial lock" can be dialled automatically.
Call Control
When a conversation starts, operation buttons are automatically displayed on your PC for telephone functions
such as transferring a call, holding a call, and making a conference. If a called extension is busy, you can set
callback ringing, send a call waiting tone, start a text chat, or leave a voice message.
