aledmorris/obtp-tester-web repository overview

Quickly push a OBTP booking on to a Cisco CE endpoint in case of the need to provide a demo of what a native Cisco booking may look like on the endpoint. The tool is designed to make it easy to illustrate the native look and feel when the endpoint has a current booking, useful for taking screenshots for written guides etc. It can also be used for troubleshooting to verify if an endpoint is properly accepting the meeting.

This is not a calendaring solution, please pay attention to the important disclaimer at the bottom of this page.
