QR Codes for Cloud Softphone¶
Providers can create QR codes that let users import an account into Cloud Softphone. The code contains a CSC link as plain text.
QR code generator¶
Sign in to the Cloud Softphone web portal and open the QR code generator. In the portal it is under Tools → QR codes generator.
- Cloud ID. The app Cloud ID. Append
*to provision the editable version. - Username. Required. Type it as the user would, including
@. - Password. Leave it empty when the user should enter the password in the app.
- Size. Leave Auto (recommended) unless you need a fixed image size (256, 512, or 1024 px).
- Custom fields. Optional extras on the CSC link. Enter the field name and value, then click Add field.
- Click Generate.
The result shows the QR code, the CSC text stored in it, and a download button. The generator URL-encodes the username, password, and custom field values.
For Unlimited Subdomains, add a custom field named host with the SIP domain as its value. The generator then includes it as a query parameter:
csc:user%40example.com:password123@MYCLOUDID?host=sip.example.com
That value is available as the global[host] placeholder. Acrobits must configure the app to copy it to the account host.
The field names cid, username, and password are reserved. A field name uses letters, digits, and _, and starts with a letter or _.
Building the link yourself¶
Follow the CSC Link specification. URL-encode the username and password exactly once. The host part of the link is the Cloud ID.
Append * to the Cloud ID for the editable version. Username and password may be omitted; the app then asks the user for the missing credentials. Put extras, including host, in the query string.
