BCM 4.0 Unified Messaging Configuration Guide
Feature Limitations
There are some Unified Messaging feature limitations when you use a Citrix Thin Client.
Microsoft Outlook
Users of CallPilot Desktop Messaging have the ability to toggle between the CallPilot and
Standard E-mail form. This setting is maintained in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT registry key.
In a Citrix Thin Client environment, all client computers refer to the same
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT registry key on the Windows Terminal Server.
As such, only the system administrator can toggle between the Standard Email and CallPilot
forms, and the form they pick will apply to all users. The CallPilot installer will default to the
CallPilot form.
In a Citrix Thin Client environment, all client computers must add CallPilot Desktop Messaging to
their e-mail program. In a Standard Desktop environment, this is handled automatically by
installation.
Lotus Notes
Users of the Lotus Notes CallPilot Desktop client must use the CallPilot Public Address Book
located on the Lotus Notes/Domino Server.
Audio Player
There is a slight delay when the user clicks CallPilot Player buttons. The user will not be able to
adjust the speaker volume from the CallPilot Audio player, CallPilot form, or CallPilot
configuration. The user will not be able to use the CallPilot Audio Player microphone to record
messages.
Fax Application
If the system administrator has installed CallPilot Desktop Messaging for more than one client
(Outlook, Notes, GroupWise, Internet Mail) on the Windows Terminal Server, the Compose Fax
dialog will list all available desktop clients that can be used to send the fax. This option is "sticky",
meaning that the last option chosen is the first option shown the next time around.
In a Citrix Thin Client environment, this option is still "sticky", but it is controlled by all client
machines. The last option chosen by any client machine will be the first option shown the next
time regardless of the client machine.
The BCM is limited to five simultaneous outgoing faxes using Unified Messaging.
Tracing
Running CPTrace won't show trace statements unless the system administrator has enabled
CPTrace on the Windows Terminal Server.
