Tasks
OL-4698-01
Many required and recommended post-installation tasks can be performed locally
on the client PC; a few tasks require access to the Cisco CallManager
Administration web interface and therefore must be performed by an
administrator.
Additionally, some settings (such as configuring a custom audio port range) can
be configured both locally (on the client PC) and remotely (in Cisco CallManager
Administration). Be aware that if a setting's value is modified locally, the
modified value will become the active value, overwriting or preempting a value
that is specified remotely. Therefore, once a setting has been modified on the
client PC, the only way to change it is on the client PC.
To prevent this scenario, you can disable access to some network settings so that
they appear grayed-out on the client PC. The best time to do this is at the time that
you are provisioning the device profile prior to deployment. See the
Local Settings Access" section on page 5-18

With a few exceptions, most of the post-installation configuration tasks that are
recommended or required for Cisco IP Communicator to function properly must
be performed on the client PC, and are therefore likely to be performed by users.
As the administrator, you should be prepared to perform post-installation
configuration tasks at the client PC on behalf of users, or you should provide users
with the specific information necessary to complete these tasks themselves. The
Cisco IP Communicator User Guide provides general information to help users
perform post-installation configuration, but users are likely to need more specific
