System Requirements

System Requirements

To run the Jabra PC Suite, your computer must meet or exceed the following requirements:

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4 or later; Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or later; or Microsoft Windows Vista (all variants). 64-bit versions of Windows are not supported.

Hardware: A USB connection must be available and a Jabra device must be connected to it.

Jabra PC Suite supports the following softphone solutions:

Skype: version 3.2 or above

Cisco IP Communicator: version 2.0.1.1 or above

Other softphones: All softphones will recognize your Jabra headset as a standard Windows sound card with sound-in and sound-out features. However, you will not be able to control these phones from the Jabra headset (i.e., you will need to use the softphone user interface to place and answer calls).

Note: Jabra is constantly evaluating the softphone market to see which new programs should be supported with a dedicated driver, as listed above for Skype, Microsoft and Cisco. Contact your Jabra representative or see the Jabra web site for the latest news on softphone driver development.
