Dialling Settings

This page allows you to turn dialling on and off from all the different types of application that the software supports.

Dialling methods: Tick the appropriate boxes to turn the required dialling methods on. The different methods of dialling are:

  • Clipboard dialling: where you copy a telephone number to the clipboard and Navigate UC PC Client dials it automatically
  • Web page dialling: where Navigate UC PC Client automatically scans web pages in supported web browsers and converts anything that looks like a telephone number into a clickable hyperlink and adds new buttons next to telephone number fields that you have told it about
  • Application dialling: where Navigate UC PC Client adds new Dial buttons to applications that you have told it about
  • TAPI Dialling: where any application that supports Microsoft TAPI can dial through Navigate UC PC Client
  • Focus dialling: dynamically recognise any numbers in textboxs that looks like the phone numbers and allows to dial that number out

Dialling applications: Any applications or webpages that you have told Navigate UC PC Client to add Dial buttons to appear in the table. To add a new application or webpage to the list, click the Add button to launch the dialling wizard. You can use the Edit and Remove buttons to correct any mistakes you have made. If you have set up some applications that you dial from and are now moving PC, you can use the Export button to export the dialling settings of the applications and webpages that you have set up and save them in a single file named “dial.settings”. If you have a “dial.settings” file and want to add the settings from it to your software, you use the Import button.

Criteria: The last section on this page allows you to define what telephone numbers look like, to help the software more accurately determine whether a string of numbers it sees in a webpage or on the clipboard is really a telephone number or not. You can tell the software the minimum and maximum length of telephone numbers (anything outside the range will be disregarded as a real telephone number), and you can also specify that telephone numbers must begin with a certain string of characters. The “Advanced rules” allows “regular expressions” to be used to more accurately control whether a number should be considered as a valid telephone number or not.
