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.
- Idle Dialpad
- Contacts
- Call Log
- 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.
