Firewall Limitation
If a firewall exists between Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the client PC, your end user
may not be able to use Click to Call.
Click to Call sends request messages to Cisco Unified Communications Manager over HTTPS using
port number 8443. Therefore you need to configure the firewall or router to allow message requests and
responses between Click to Call and Cisco Unified Communications Manager over HTTPS using port
number 8443.
Release Notes for Click to Call Release 7.x

Limitations and Restrictions
Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 Support
Click to Call does not support Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 because the context menu functionality in
Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 no longer permits third party integrations.
Microsoft Outlook 2003 Limitation
If you are running Microsoft Outlook 2003 without Microsoft Office 2003, the Persona menu is not
available. Consequently the Click to Call functionality under the Persona menu is not available in this
case.
Microsoft IME Limitation with East Asian Locales
For some East Asian locales, the Microsoft Global Input Method Editor (IME) feature is enabled by
default in Microsoft Word. If the Microsoft Global IME is enabled in Microsoft Word 2003 or 2007, the
Call option on the Click to Call right-click menu is not available; only the Call with Edit option is
available. If you disable the Microsoft Global IME feature in Microsoft Word, the Call menu item will
be available.
Engineering Special for Japanese, Korean and Portuguese Locales
For Japanese, Korean and Portuguese locales, an engineering special is available that contains a fix for
a localization issue. To download this engineering special, go to:

End Call Button Terminates All Active Calls
The End Call button on Click to Call terminates all active calls, including any calls that the user has on
hold. The held call is terminated locally, but the remote held call remains active and the person on hold
receives no indication that the call is terminated.
Note Because this is unexpected behavior, we highly recommend that you provide your end users with the
following description of how the End Call button operates when a user places a call on hold:
• When you press the End Call button on Click to Call, this ends all your current calls, including any
calls you have on hold.
• For example, if you are on Call 1, and you place Call 1 on hold to take Call 2, when you press the
End Call button to end Call 2, the application ends both Call 1 (on hold) and Call 2.
• However, Click to Call only disconnects the held call locally at your end of the call. The person you
have placed on hold is not disconnected, and receives no indication that the call has ended.
Note that this is expected behavior on Cisco Unified Communications Manager. You can control this
behavior on Cisco Unified Communications Manager using the cluster-wide phone device service
parameter Enforce Privacy Setting on Held Calls. Privacy removes the call information from all phones
that share lines and blocks other shared lines from barging in on its calls. Enabling the service parameter
Enforce Privacy Setting on Held Calls enforces privacy when a call is placed on hold on a shared line;
this service parameter is disabled by default.
Note • The Enforce Privacy Setting on Held Calls parameter is a cluster-wide service parameter.
Therefore it applies to all phone devices and all users in the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster.
• The Enforce Privacy Setting on Held Calls parameter is only applicable to
Cisco Unified Communications Manager versions 6.x and 7.x.
WebDialer Application Applies Directory Lookup Rules
Note This issue is not applicable if you are running Cisco Unified Communications Manager version 7.x.
Release Notes for Click to Call Release 7.x

Caveats
Problem The Cisco WebDialer application is only expected to apply Application Dial Rules on
Cisco Unified Communications Manager. However, if there are Directory Lookup Rules configured on
Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the Cisco WebDialer application may apply the Directory
Lookup Rules before it applies the Application Dial Rules.
This may cause call routing issues on the Click to Call application. When deploying Click to Call, ask
your end users to report any inconsistent call behavior, as it may be related to this issue.
Solution Perform the following workaround on Cisco Unified Communications Manager. For each
Application Dial Rule you have configured, create a corresponding dummy Directory Lookup Rule. The
dummy Directory Lookup Rules should be invalid; Cisco Unified Communications Manager should not
be able to match the dummy Directory Lookup Rules.
Prioritize the dummy Directory Lookup Rules at the top of the Directory Lookup Rule list, before any
authentic Directory Lookup Rules. This ensures that the Cisco Webdialer application applies the
Application Dial Rules first. In the Application Dial Rule list, configure the final Application Dial Rule
to match any number that the other Application Dial Rules do not match. This ensures that the Cisco
Webdialer application finds an Application Dial Rule match, and does not attempt to apply the Directory
Lookup Rules.
Users are Unable to Associate Phone
Problem The user is unable to associate a phone on the Click to Call application.
Solution If your organization routes HTTP traffic via proxy servers to access the internet, you must add
an exception for the internal HTTPS traffic sent from the Click to Call application to the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager server.
However, if this exception contains the server name of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager, and
the IP address of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager is configured on the Click to Call
application, this configuration may still route the HTTPS traffic externally. If this occurs, either add an
exception for the IP address of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager, or use the server name that
is already covered by an exception.
