Preparing Users for Personal Assistant
There are some configuration changes that you can make that affect how users use Personal Assistant.
You should communicate these changes if you make them.
In general, you might find deployment of Personal Assistant to be easier if you link the user interface to
your corporate intranet in a location that can be easily found. This will relieve your users of having to
find the URL some other way, making it easy for them to access Personal Assistant for the first time and
bookmark it for subsequent use. A corporate web page is also a good place to list the phone numbers that
users should use to access Personal Assistant through the phone.
The following sections can assist you in determining what information to communicate with your users
to prepare them to use Personal Assistant:

Accessing the User Interface

To enable users to access the Personal Assistant user interface, you must provide them with the URL and
the user name and password.
URL
To access the Personal Assistant user interface, users open a supported web browser and enter the
following URL:
http://<PAhost>/pauseradmin
where PAhost is the computer name of the server on which you install the Personal Assistant web
administration component.
User Name and Password
Users log in to Personal Assistant by using the unique user attribute configured for your system, for
example their e-mail address.
The password is the same password defined for access to the Cisco CallManager user interface. To
change or reset the password, use the Cisco CallManager user interface.
