This guide includes the basic tasks required to get Cisco Jabber with Team Messaging Mode up and running. You can deploy team messaging mode on it's own or with calling capabilities. The tasks include installing, configuring, and deploying.

• Part 1 of the guide focuses on how to configure Cisco Jabber on the Cisco Webex Control Hub. If you are deploying team messaging mode for IM-only, this is the only configuration you need to do.

• Part 2 of the guide focuses on how to configure telephony for your users. This configuration is done on Cisco Unified Communications Manager to enable softphones, deskphone control, extend and connect, and service discovery. If you want an IM-Only deployment, you can skip this part.

• Part 3 of the guide focuses on how to deploy Jabber for Windows, Mac, iPhone and iPad, Android, and in virtual environments.

For information about optional features you can configure for Cisco Jabber, see Feature Configuration for Cisco Jabber for your release: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/unified-communications/jabber-windows/products-installation-guides-list.html.

For information about configuring parameters in Cisco Jabber, see the Parameters Reference Guide for Cisco Jabber for your release: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/unified-communications/jabber-windows/products-installation-guides-list.html

Cisco Jabber is a modular Unified Communications client that you can deploy in various ways. You have access to a number of collaboration work flows, including these:

• Audio and video calling on your computer

• Deskphone control of audio and video calling

• Messaging and presence

• Contacts integration

• Meetings

• Voicemail

You can enable some or all of these work flows to meet your needs. For example, a phone-only deployment of Jabber doesn't enable the messaging work flow.
