Incoming and outgoing calls are signaled in the CTI Data Connector SoftPhone on the left side of the screen. As it is a pure Browser based application you have to consider a few things:

•**The application only works when logged into Salesforce**

•**At least one TAB with the CTI Data Connector SoftPhone must be opened**. The CTI Data Connector SoftPhone will then still answer to calls when you are navigating on other web pages or working in other applications. Internet Explorer requires to switch to that TAB while a call is active

•Switching between TABs or between different Browser sessions while a call is active and synchronizing the call information like the call note is not supported in all Browsers

•Limited support of old Agent Console

•The CTI Data Connector SoftPhone is available in a lot of languages. The language, which is configured for the Salesforce user, is used for the CTI Data Connector SoftPhone
