Setting up Better Together over Ethernet

This section shows how to set up the Microsoft Skype for Windows feature 'Better Together over
Ethernet' on AudioCodes' 400HD Series of IP Phones.
BToE enables operations to be mirrored on both AudioCodes' phone and the Skype for Windows
client on the PC, so that these operations can be controlled from either the phone or the PC,
whichever is convenient to the user at the time, for enhanced unified communications and
optimized enterprise efficiency.
After your phone is paired with your Skype for Windows client, you can control (from phone or
PC) operations such as answering incoming calls, making outgoing calls (click-to-dial), putting
calls on hold and resuming them, and making conference calls.

8.12.1 Installing the BToE PC Application

This section shows how to install AudioCodes' BToE PC application.

To install the BToE PC application:
1.
After obtaining the installation file whose name will be either AudioCodes BToE.exe or
AudioCodes BToE.msi, save it to your PC and then double-click it.
Note:
• The msi file is for the purpose of IT administrator distribution. Users are not allowed to
install BToE using the msi file, only using the exe file.
• After installing with the exe, then when upgrading the exe must be used. Upgrading with
the msi cannot be done if the first installation was with the exe, and vice versa.
• Some PCs require the installation of .Net 4.0 prior to the installation of the BToE
PC/laptop application. If you use the installation file AudioCodes BToE.exe, the
Installation Wizard will detect that .Net 4.0 is missing and will prompt you to install it:
When installing the BToE PC/laptop application using the installation file AudioCodes
BToE.msi, you won't be prompted to install .Net 4.0 and the network administrator should
make the necessary preparations prior to installation of the BToE PC application.
