Distribute Client Setup

It is possible to export the configuration settings of one PC and distribute it to all PCs. We recommend the following procedure:

•Install one Client

•Go through all configuration settings using the Configuration Wizard

•Test outgoing and incoming calls

•If everything is working fine, export the settings of this PC

Export the configuration settings

•Open the installation folder on the server - default folder is ...programs\CTI Data Connector Enterprise Edition

•Quit CTI Data Connector Enterprise Edition

•Start the program - Exportconfiguration.exe. This will create a file cdcconf.bak on the installation folder with all the settings of this PC. You can now delete settings if you do not want to export all settings

•Copy now cdcconf.bak to cdcconf.dat

•When a Client starts CTI Data Connector Enterprise Edition, it will automatically apply the settings reading the file cdcconf.dat

All personal settings of all workstations will be overwritten.

How is this feature working?

The file cdcconf.dat is a text file and consists of 2 sections:

•[ClientConfigExt] which has a copy of all settings of the PC

•[ClientConfig] which has a version number

During each program start, the file cdcconf.dat is read. It is checked whether the version number stored in the registry of the PC is smaller than the version number stored in the section [ClientConfig]. If yes, the settings of the cdcconf.dat will be applied and the version number will be updated in the local registry. This ensures that the Client PC can configure personal settings afterwards.
