Jabber For Mac Software

To support the increased demand for remote telephone service, UAB IT is making the new Jabber Softphone app available to all UAB users who currently have VOIP phones. This app allows you to make and receive calls on your office number, review voicemails, and perform other common telephone functions. This app is available for Apple, Android and Windows.

Installation instructions

There are two ways to add a new contact to your Jabber hub on a Mac: From the Search or call menu, type the name of the Rowan University employee you want to add as a contact. Search results will appear. Note: It is best to type the name as completely as possible since Jabber. The Jabber for Mac client only allows chat rooms to be joined. Users cannot create chat rooms using the Jabber for Mac client at this time. Click the (Chats) button to view a list of users you are or have chatted with. Double-click on the user to open the chat window. Step 1.) Double-click on a contact in the Jabber.

Cisco Jabber – for iOS (iPhone & iPad)

Forwarding a phone number

If you are unable to use Jabber softphone but have a critical need to receive calls on your office phone number, you may forward your phone number. The phone system has limited capacity to support forwarding, so please reserve this for health care and critical business functions.

You can forward your office phone line to another phone number, such as your cell phone. To do this on a Cisco phone, press the “Forward All” softkey. Then enter the phone number you want to forward your calls to, exactly as you would dial it from your phone. To verify that your calls are forwarded, look for the “Forward All” icon in the line label, and the forwarding information in the header. To remove forwarding press the “Cancel Forward” softkey.

On a Meridian phone, access the line key for the phone line you want to forward and dial *78 then enter the phone number you want to forward your calls to, exactly as you would dial it from your phone. To remove forwarding dial *79.

Increasingly, many of us find ourselves working outside the office. So having access to the communication channels you need from anywhere is a requirement to stay productive. Stanford’s Jabber service gives you that while simultaneously simplifying and unifying your communications with your colleagues. With your computer or a mobile device — and an Internet connection — you can instant message, place voice and video calls, share your desktop, conference, and more.
