Q.
What is a Connection Profile?
A.
A Connection Profile stores all of the information needed for a CTI OS Softphone to select a
peripheral (switch) to log into. The information includes the Logical Name of the phone switch, the
logical hostname or IP address of a CTI OS server (or pair of CTI OS Servers) that provide the
service to that peripheral, and the ICM's PeripheralID that is used to track that Peripheral.

logical hostname or IP address of a CTI OS server (or pair of CTI OS Servers) that provide the
service to that peripheral, and the ICM's PeripheralID that is used to track that Peripheral.
The Connection profiles are stored in the registry on the CTI OS server under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cisco Systems, Inc.\CTIOS\
CTIOS_<InstanceName>\ ctios1\EnterpriseDesktopSettings\All
Desktops\Login\ConnectionProfiles\Name.
When the CTI OS Server is first installed, the Setup program creates a default Connection Profile called
"Peripheral type name" (for example, IPCC) with information collected from the Setup prompts. You can
rename the default profile to any name you like and change its properties in the registry editor
(REGEDIT), and add more Connection Profiles by re-running Setup to create a new default profile.
Alternatively, you can export the registry tree for your Connection Profiles to a flat (.reg) file, and edit
the profiles using Notepad. Then, double-click on the .reg file to reload it into your registry.

Q.
What happens at softphone startup and login?
A.
When the softphone starts up, the following steps are executed:
1.
The CTI toolkit agent desktop or CTI toolkit supervisor desktop looks at the System registry of the
local client desktop machine and reads the HostName or IP address of the Configuration machine.

two Configuration machines and downloads the CTI OS connection profiles and all other
configuration settings.
