Advanced CTI User Quick Guide

Post by administrator » Mon Jun 13, 2022 10:09 am

Opening In Separate WIndow
  • The GUI only updates when it is open. While the extension GUI is open, it waits for CTI input continuously.
  • Due to this, there is typically a slight delay for the GUI to update the current state when it is first opened.
  • For heavy use scenarios, it is recommended to open the extension in a sperate window to keep the state sync accurate and timely.
  • In order to do this, click the "open in separate window" icon in the upper right hand corner.

Placing a phone call
  • Click on any phone number on a web page.
    • The click to call application was originally developed to allow tel: links on web pages to be redirected to a Grandstream desk phone.
    • Their is also a feature of the extensions called "Scrape" that when enabled identifies phone numbers on web sites and converts them to tel: links allowing you to click to dial those numbers as well.
  • Dialing on the extension GUI
    • Launch the extension GUI by clicking on the Q5 icon on the extensions section of your browser. You can also pin it to the address bar by clicking the pin icon on the right.
