Chapter 7: The Jabra Skype Interface
The Skype Interface Window
IMPORTANT: The Jabra Skype Interface requires that the Jabra Device Service also be running, or else it will not be able to communicate with your headset. You can run this program from the Start menu or by including a shortcut to it your Startup folder using techniques similar to those outlined above for the Skype Interface. See also “Running and Using the Device Service” on page 12.
The Skype Interface Window
By default, the Jabra PC Suite installer configures your computer to run the Skype Interface in the background each time you start your computer. In this case, you will not usually see the Skype Interface window even though the program is running. (See also “Running the Skype Interface”, above, for details about how to add, remove and configure the Skype Interface in your computer’s Startup folder.)
To view the Skype Interface window (and, incidentally, start the Skype Interface program if it is not already running), click on the Windows Start button and select
All Programs > Jabra > Jabra PC Suite > Jabra Skype Interface. The window then
opens.
Figure 9: The Jabra Skype Interface window
The Jabra Skype Interface window displays status information and enables you to set a few options. It is divided into two areas: menu bar (top) and information display (bottom).
The following commands are available from the menu bar:
•File > Exit: Quits the Skype Interface, thereby disabling
•Configuration > Control Skype Presence: When your Skype contacts are using
Skype, they can see your status (e.g., online, not available, away, etc.). If you would like your status to be changed to match your headset actions, then place a check for this menu item (select the item to toggle the check mark). Your Skype status will then reflect whether you are on the phone, when your headset is turned off, etc. Clear this mark to disable the feature.
•Configuration > Trace: This feature generates a log file and saves it on your desktop. It stores debug information. Usually you should keep this disabled unless instructed by Jabra technical support. The menu shows a check mark to indicate the status of this setting (marked means enabled). Select the menu entry to toggle the mark.
