Navigation
There are many buttons in Virtual Landline Office Web and this section seeks
to explain ones on the home page. For buttons related to placing and receiving
calls, refer instead to the “Ill. Features” section of this article.
Right Side of the Page
In the upper-right hand corner of the page, there are 2 buttons in :
· Language selection (globe button): Use the dropdown selection to customize
WebPhone UI language. This requires additional configuration:
· Agent status (headset button): Its button is a headset that changes color
depending on status, and it also displays the agent’s status. A red headset
indicates the agent is offline, and a green headset indicates the agent is
online.
· registration status (phone button): This button indicates whether the device
is registered or not. A green phone indicates that the device is registering.
English (United States) @ ·
@
Left Side of the Page In the upper-left hand corner of the page, the following buttons can be found:
· Agent status (headset button):
this button is located on the left-side of the page. Its button is a headset
that changes color depending on status, and it also displays the agent’s
status. A red headset indicates the agent is offline, and a green headset
indicates the agent is online.
· Avatar button: This button will be your gravatar if configured; otherwise it
will
default to the logged in user’s initials. Clicking on the button will open up
the user profile in WebPhone. The two badges on this button indicate:
o presence badge: (phone icon) green means the logged in user is online; red
means the logged in user is busy or on a call; grey means the logged in user
is
offline prior to v44 and in v44+, the badge will be hidden instead
o chat badge: (messaging icon) blue means the logged in user’s chat presence
is
online; an offline status hides this badge
· User Status message: (quoted text) the placeholder user status message is
“set a
status message”; if the user changes their Agent Status to “break”, then the
User Status message will update to the words “break” (a “lunch” Agent Status
will change the User Status message to lunch, meeting to meeting, and so on).
The User Status message can be edited at any time by clicking directly on the
message and typing in the resulting text box. Note that for the Agent Status
and User Status message to sync, a page refresh may be necessary.

Microphone Request
All Virtual Landline Office versions request microphone access. This a browser
permission and can be later disabled in browser settings. v44+ will
additionally allow users to select their microphone after allowing access.
Microphone selection is also available for all versions under the “Settings”
sidebar.
Audio Output
This is a v44+ permission that is prompted for first-time users. Set the audio
output selection and default volume level at this time. Microphone selection
is also available for all versions under the “Settings” sidebar.
Receive Inbound Calls Request If the current answering rule is configured to
ring only the user’s extension, then a prompt will display asking whether the
user would like to enable Virtual Landline Office Web to receive inbound
calls. It is important to click YES when prompted, or else inbound calls to
the webphone might be sent straight to voicemail.
Allow Browser Notifications This is a v44+ permission that allows for push
notifications. If the permission is disabled, it can be changed later in
browser settings.
Additional Scenario If a user has a custom answering rule that utilizes a
timeframe other than “default” and is configured to ring only the user’s
extension, then the following message will display, telling the user that the
phone may not be configured to receive all incoming calls.
This phone may not be configured to receive all incoming calls. Please contact
your phone administrator for more information

Ill. Features
Place a Call
Virtual Landline Office_ Web is limited to handling a maximum of two calls. If
more than two calls are attempted, a pop-up modal should notify the user.
Since WebRTC traffic is encrypted there will be higher CPU utilization on your
Core Modules than when used for an unencrypted call. CPU use is about 30%
greater than a normal (unencrypted) call.
t. In Virtual Landline Officehe dial pad has moved to the upper lefthand
corner of the screen and is now a distinct button.

2. Dialing can be performed by either clicking directly on the numbers in the
dial pad, or by typing numbers from a keyboard.
· After v44.0, there is a separate search box to find contacts. Typing in a
number outside of the “search contacts” box will not autocomplete.
When dialing is complete, press the green dial icon on your screen, or enter
on your keyboard, to begin the call.
