Cisco Finesse IP Phone Agent (IPPA) is a feature in Cisco Unified Contact Center Express 11.0 that allows you to log directly into Cisco Finesse using your Cisco-branded IP Phone. You are not required to use a separate web browser. IPPA has a smaller feature set than the full web-based version of Finesse, but is still a fully functional agent utility. The steps below detail how to log into Cisco Finesse using IPPA directly from your Cisco IP phone.

This feature is currently only available in the Cisco Unified Contact Center Express 11.0 v1 demonstration. All of the administration updates have been made to the demonstration, you will only need to login from the client side.
