What if I don't have a Duke phone number associated with my account?

Will Jabber work the same on different platforms and devices?

Many Jabber features work across platforms. However, the Mac client does not integrate with Microsoft Office, which allows Windows users to see presence, make calls, and initiate chats directly from Outlook.

Does Jabber work from any network connection?

Yes. Some locations on the Health System network may require VPN connectivity to register and work properly. OIT and DHTS are currently working together to identify and resolve any routing issues that may force some users to use VPN connectivity. Known issues include Jabber's failure to register, and one-way audio on voice calls between Jabber and other voice endpoints.

Does Jabber work on a Virtual Machine (VM)?

Yes. In order for Cisco Jabber to register the VM, 'Networking' must be set to 'Bridged.' Cisco Jabber does not work when the VM network is set to 'NAT.' If you have questions, please contact your service desk.

Can I import contacts from Outlook or other address books?

Yes. Refer to your address book client’s documentation about how to export contacts. Follow the Cisco Jabber documentation on how to import.
