Troubleshooting Guide

Debugging JavaScript

If you experience problems while using the Jabber SDK your first step is to open up your browser's JavaScript console and other debugging tools.

Common Errors

TFTP fetch error

The most common reason for this error is that you haven't set up a device in Cisco Unified Communications Manager. For instructions on setting up a device, see JabberSDK_CUCM_Guide.txt is in the docs folder. Another possible cause for this error is a firewall that could be blocking TFTP access from your browser. For more information, check with your system administrator.

add-on not installed

Make sure that you have installed the browser add-on as described in the Download and Docs page.

Log Files

The add-on that the SDK uses to enable telephony writes log files to your local file system. You can find the log files in the following locations:

• Windows
  C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Cisco\Unified Communications\Jabber Web SDK\Logs
• Mac OS X
  /Users/{username}/Library/Logs/Jabber Web SDK/

While it is not really intended as a diagnostic tool for SDK users, softphone.log contains a wealth of detailed information and can be useful when you contact Cisco support.

JavaScript Events for Microsoft Windows Video Window

On Microsoft Windows, the video window object created by cwic createVideoWindow does not generate HTML mouse and click events. A workaround is to attach the video window element to an invisible <div> (style="display: none") and capture events from that element. Also on Microsoft Windows, HTML elements like buttons will not display on top of the video windows; the video windows always render on top. These limitations do not apply to video windows on Mac.

Using multiple versions of jQuery

The jQuery library is provided inside ciscobase.js, which is bundled with cwic.js.

When using a different version of jQuery in addition to ciscobase.js, the other jQuery version (non-ciscobase) should be loaded first

Example script order:
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-other-version.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="ciscobase.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="cwic/cwic.js"></script>
