Incorrect Configuration of the Peripheral ID in the Connection Profile
Incorrect Configuration of the Peripheral ID in the Connection 
Profile
When the client attempts to login using a specific connection profile, the client application associates 
itself with the Peripheral ID contained in the connection profile. The client application then waits for 
CTI OS server to signal that the peripheral associated with that Peripheral ID is online before it attempts 
to login to that peripheral. If the connection profile contains the incorrect Peripheral ID, the client 
application may receive this notification prematurely or not at all. In the former case the login will fail 
with no indication to the user. In the latter case, the user will be informed that the system is offline and 
that the login attempt will be queued until the system comes online. Since the client application 
randomly selects a configuration server each time the client application starts, symptoms of this problem 
may be sporadic if connection profile information is not consistent between configuration servers. To 
modify the Peripheral ID in the connection profile:
  •
Note the connection profile you are using when you login (step a). The connection profile is 
specified in the client application's login dialog box using the "Connect to" dropdown list.
  •
Note the name of the server with which the client application connected. This information is 
contained in the OnConnection event and is displayed on the status bar control. 
  •
Go to the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cisco Systems, Inc.\CTIOS\ 
CTIOS_<InstanceName>\ ctios1\EnterpriseDesktopSettings\All 
Desktops\Login\ConnectionProfiles\Name\<Profile name from step a> on the server with which the 
client application is connected.
  •
Modify the value of peripheralID so that it is correct. (The Peripheral ID can be found in the ICM 
configuration.)
  •
Restart the CTI OS server.
  •
Restart the client application.
  •
Try to login again.
Determining if a PC can Capture Audio Packets sent from an IP 
Phone
To determine if an agent PC is unable to capture packets sent from the IP phone, Cisco recommends you 
use a public domain packet sniffer called Wireshark. (This is because Wireshark uses WinPCap, which 
is the same packet capture technology that is used by CTI OS Silent Monitor.):
1.
Download Wireshark from 
 and install it on the agent’s 
machine.
2.
Verify that WinPcap is installed on the agent’s machine via Start->Control Panel->Add remove 
programs. WinPcap should be on the list. If not, install WinPcap as described in the 
 section of this document.
3.
Run Wireshark: Select Capture > Start > OK
4.
Make a voice call from or to the agent’s phone (there is no need to be logged onto CTI OS right now) 
and ensure that UDP packets are captured at roughly 100 packets/second.
