Features & Capabilities

The Cisco Phone Controller Chrome extension empowers Cisco Collaboration Administrators by embedding a remote phone control app directly on the Cisco phone's internal web page. After enabling the phone’s "Web Access" and assigning the phone to your controlled devices list, you can visit the phone's IP using Firefox and seamlessly control the device via an intuitive interface.

Features include pressing keypad buttons to navigate menus, using command buttons for volume and navigation, dialing numbers remotely, scripting keypress actions, and interacting with the phone screenshot to activate lines and softkeys. The extension renders live phone screenshots and authenticates via HTTP Basic Authentication, ensuring secure and authorized remote control. Although support varies by phone model, this tool simplifies troubleshooting and managing Cisco phones from your browser.

For further details, source code, and compatibility, visit the GitHub repository or consult Cisco's official documentation.

User Reviews

Users find the Cisco Phone Controller add-on highly useful and easy to set up, particularly with the latest Firefox versions. It is praised for being a great free tool for remote controlling Cisco phones, appreciated within the community. However, multiple reviews mention issues with inconsistent screen loading and display problems. Some report compatibility difficulties on Windows 10 and older browsers. Proper Authentication URL configuration is important, especially in lab environments, to ensure smooth operation.

Easy and quick to set up and use.
Highly appreciated by users; considered fantastic and impressive.
Useful for the Cisco community and lab environments.
Free alternative to commercial phone remote control software.

Cons

Inconsistent screen loading; sometimes the screen loads, other times it doesn't.
Compatibility issues with certain Windows 10 configurations and older Firefox or Chrome versions.
Screen image or display issues reported by multiple users.
Requires correct Authentication URL configuration for lab setups to function properly.

Recent reviews

Thank you for providing such an excellent program. Is there any way to directly control the phone's softkey?

Is Cisco Phone Controller Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Cisco Phone Controller requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Cisco Phone Controller has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
