This blog article describes how to place InternetExplorer popup windows when using TelephoneIntegration.

TelephoneIntegration provides the possibility to automatically open CRM records and a new phone-call activity in separate InternetExplorer windows. Users can define the order and position of the CRM record-window and the phone-call-activity-window.

This blog article outlines various policy options for internal phone calls.

Within the TelephoneIntegration user interface, called balloon, it is possible to search for CRM-records (accounts, contacts, users, etc.) or for telephone numbers. The found records and telephone numbers are displayed within this balloon and users are able to perform outgoing calls immediately simply by clicking on the displayed record. There is no need to explicitly open CRM to start outgoing calls. The menu opened via a right-click on the displayed record offers the possibility to copy the telephone number or to open the record in CRM.

If the calling/called phone number is stored in Microsoft Dynamics CRM, then the number should be resolved to the corresponded CRM record. If the number does not resolve, make sure that the number is stored in the "MSCRM-ADDONS.com CTI CallInfos" entity. 

CTI 2011 TAPI wrapper needs a TAPI driver that is suitable to your Phone PBX server.

Each PBX phone-system vendor has its own TAPI driver.

Our TAPI wrapper has not an active role on the TAPI lines, it is just a passive listener to random TAPI driver events and eventually, it triggers them in case of outgoing calls, accepting the incoming offers.

If you outgoing calls are successful when made from CTI client, but not from the CRM entity, simply check the Internet Explorer Security Options. Please make sure that your CRM Server is included in the Trusted Sites Zone.

Before an entity or PhoneCall activity can be opened by an incoming/outgoing phone call, the phonenumber must be resolved.
