Pronto! XIMSS Client

The Pronto! client is a client application providing access to CommuniGate Pro Accounts using the XIMSS protocol.

The Pronto! client is implemented using the Adobe® Flash technology. It is available as a zero-install "Web 2.0" client, and as a desktop "Adobe AIR" application.

If the WebCal Service is enabled for your Account, you can use the Pronto! client to create Events (Meetings and Appointments) and ToDo items (Tasks), to accept and cancel them, to view your Calendar and ToDo lists.

If the Signal Service is enabled for your Account, you can use the Pronto! client to exchange IM and Presence information with others.

If the PBX Service is enabled for your Account, you can use the Pronto! client to originate and accept phone calls and perform other Telephony operations.

Customization

The Pronto! application uses files stored in the selected Web Application Skin. All Pronto! Skin names have the Pronto- prefix, while the Pronto Skin menus list these skins without that prefix.
When a new Skin Pronto-glass is created, it it seen to the users as the glass Pronto! Skin.

Pronto! Skins contain the files listed below. By uploading different versions of these files into different Skins, you can make Pronto! change its look and feel depending on the Pronto Skin selected.

Dialer sounds. Sample rates: 44100, 22050, 11025, or 5512.5; bits: 8 or 16; channels: mono or stereo; format: RIFF (not RIFX) PCM; compression: none.

Some Pronto! components are implemented as separate modules. Each Pronto! module consists of two Skin files - name.def (the module descriptor) and name.swf (the module code), where name is the module name.

The Pronto! application builds the available module list by reading all .def files visible in the selected Skin.

To disable some module name, upload an empty name.def file into the target Skin.
