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 for Salesforce

•Quit CTI Data Connector for Salesforce

•Start the program - Exportconfiguration.exe. This will create a file cdcsfeconf.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 cdcsfeconf.bak to cdcsfeconf.dat

•When a Client starts CTI Data Connector for Salesforce, it will automatically apply the settings reading the file cdcsfeconf.dat

 

All personal settings of all workstations will be overwritten.

 

How is this feature working?

 

The file cdcsfeconf.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 cdcsfeconf.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 cdcsfeconf.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.

 

 

[ClientConfigExt]

DailyRefresh=0

Language=2000

......

[ClientConfig]

Version=200610251440

You find a detail description of each criteria in the following chapter cdcsfeconfig.dat - node [ClientConfigExt] and cdcsfeconfig.dat - node [ClientConfig]
