Make a Jabber to Jabber call You can make a voice and video call from your Cisco Jabber account to another Cisco Jabber user, without registering in Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Jabber to Jabber voice and video calling allows you to make calls between two Jabber clients. However, there are some differences in using Jabber to Jabber call: You can make a Jabber to Jabber call with only one contact at a time. When you are on a Jabber to Jabber call, if you call another contact your ongoing call will end. When you start a Jabber to Jabber call with a contact and your contact starts a Jabber to Jabber call with you at the same time, your call is automatically connected and you will not get any incoming call notice. When you are on a mobile call, you cannot answer any Jabber to Jabber call. The incoming Jabber to Jabber call is listed as a missed call. When users are on a Jabber to Jabber call and they receive an incoming mobile call, then Jabber to Jabber call ends immediately when users answer the incoming mobile call. Before You Begin This feature must be enabled by your system administrator. On the Contacts screen tap a contact picture. This displays the contact details. From the contact details tap the contact name. This displays the Profile screen. On the Profile screen tap Jabber Call option to make a call. Set Android Device Ringtone for Cisco Jabber Call On the Settings screen, tap the Sounds option. Turn off the Use Cisco Ringtone option. Cisco Jabber uses Android device ringtone that is set for phone calls for Cisco Jabber calls. 11

If you cannot create a new contact group, ask your system administrator for help. Add Directory Group Directory groups are maintained by your administrator for your enterprise. When you add a directory group to your Contacts list, then the list of people assigned to that directory group are automatically added to the group in your contacts. You do not have to maintain the list because it synchronizes automatically with the directory for your enterprise, meaning that people are added and removed from the group in your Contacts whenever the administrator adds or removes them from the enterprise directory. You can remove a directory group from your contacts list at any time. If the directory group is larger than 100 people, then no presence is displayed for anyone in that group. Before You Begin Your system administrator must enable this feature. If you cannot add directory groups, contact your system administrator for help. Step 4 On the Contacts screen, tap drop-down menu icon. Tap on Add Directory Group. Important You cannot add more than 1000 contacts in your Contacts list. Enter the group name you want to add in the Add Directory Group. Note If you do not have the search capability, then the directory group name must be provided to you by your administrator. Tap Done. All the contacts in the directory group are added to your contacts list. Remove Contact Group Cisco Jabber for Android lets you remove an existing contact group from the application. 12
Your system administrator must enable this feature. If you cannot remove a contact group, ask your system administrator for help. On the Contacts screen, tap and hold the contact group you want to remove. Tap Remove Group to remove the contact group.

Sign-In Issues If you cannot sign in, try the following troubleshooting tips. Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Check that you are using a supported device and operating system. For information about supported devices and operating systems, see the Cisco Jabber for Android Release Notes for your release. Check that you are using the correct release of Cisco Jabber for Android. You can download the latest release of Cisco Jabber for Android from the Google Play Store. Check that your VPN is connected (if VPN is required). If your VPN is not connected and you are not using Expressway Remote and Mobile Access, contact your system administrator for configuration details. If you are using HTTP basic SAML SSO authentication and the login fails when switching users with the Reset Jabber functionality: a) Reset Jabber b) Force Quit the application fully in Android OS c) Log in If you are using Phone Services, check the network connection between your device and the corporate network as follows: a) Open your Internet browser. b) Try to access the administration pages for your corporate calling system by entering the following URL in your Internet browser: http://cisco_unified _communications_manager_node_name_or_ip_address/ucmuser. Contact your system administrator if you do not have the address for your company's Cisco Unified Communications Manager node. c) If you cannot access the administration pages for your corporate calling system, try again from a different network access point. If you still cannot access the administration pages for your corporate calling system, contact your system administrator to find out if there is a network issue. If you are using Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service, check the network connection between your device and the node as follows: a) Open a ping utility to ping the Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service node. b) Enter the Fully Qualified Domain Name or IP address of the node in one of the following formats: presence_node_name.domain.com ip_address.domain.com 22
If you cannot ping the node, contact your system administrator. Step 7 Step 8 If you are using a tablet, contact your system administrator to ensure it has been set up for use. Some tablet services require additional configuration that may not have been performed. If you still cannot set up Cisco Jabber for Android, send a problem report to your system administrator. Certificate Issues Certificate Validation When you set up and use Cisco Jabber, you may be prompted to validate your server certificates to connect to your services. Depending on your account setup, you may need to verify server certificates for the following services: Instant Messaging Phone Services Voicemail Directory Expressway Mobile and Remote Access SSO IdP certification for SSO deployments Note Depending on how your administrator sets up the servers, you may have to validate multiple certificates for IM and phone services. If you decline a certificate, the following occurs: Instant Messaging You cannot sign in to Cisco Jabber. Phone Services An invalid certificate notification will be shown. If the system has only one server, you cannot sign in to Cisco Jabber.
