Last entry I made was all about this new thing that I had been working on for the Xtended Contest. Now I will reveal what that application is and provide you with a walkthrough of how it works and where you can download it. The name of the application is QuickSet. It's an Adobe Air application that allows you to dial out from it and configure several services. The true beauty of the application is it's ability to be run on both Windows, MAC and Linux operating systems. It crosses the divide of compatibility to allow almost every user out there to configure their Broadsoft services without ever having to leave their desktop. Here is some instructions that I put together to help you get started with it To get started you would need to go to http://www.joedeveloper.net/quickset/ and click on the Install Now button.
Does the following window should pop up? If so please press Open. If that window doesn’t pop open you may see: This is the Adobe Air platform that QuickSet runs on. Please press yes. After this point if you are having any more problems it would be a good time to make sure you have the latest Flash Player and Adobe air. Flash Player 9.0.115 or higher. (you can get that here: http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer) Adobe Air 1.1 or higher. (you can get that here: http://get.adobe.com/air/)
After you press open, or press install the adobe air platform the next screen should be: Please click on “Install” If this is your first time installing the application you may also see the following screen: This is an agreement for the Adobe Air platform installation. Please click “I Agree”. The next screen will ask you about how you would like the application to install. It’s completely optional to put an icon on your desktop. Please click continue to start the installation. After it finishes installing it should launch the application automatically. If it doesn’t, you can go to your programs or desktop and launch if from there as well. Once you launch QuickSet for the first time you should see the “Configure your settings” box: This box needs to have some information filled in: Server, Username and Password. Once that is filled in and you click save it will attempt to connect to the server. Currently the easiest way to test out the application is by having an account on the Broadsoft Xtended Platform by going to http://developer.broadsoft.com , signing up and getting a sandbox account. For instance the server address would be “xsp.xdp.broadsoft.com” excluding the “http://” from the beginning. The next thing that should happen is the app will load in your services: To find out how the different services and application work, please continue reading through the guide by going to http://www.joedeveloper.net/quickset/QuickSet_QuickGuide.pdf. Hope you enjoy the application! Leave some comments and let me know.
