Grandstream Click To Call

GS CTC is a chrome extension that allows you to click on a phone number and send it directly to a grandstream handset to initiate a call. It's also got many other features.

Features

Accept/End an incoming/current call
Put the current call on hold
Reboot the handset
See current status of phone
Type a number and send the call to the handset
Recognise tel: links and start a call on the handset when clicked


Usage

Click the green/teal phone icon that appears in your browsers extension area. (usually the top right) Here you can see the IP you've set and the current status (will take a moment to update on first open) Every 2 seconds the extension updates the status of the phone by sending it a request. From the extension you can click the buttons to Accept/End/Hold a call and reboot the handset. Please note the hold button only works during a call and the reboot button will immediately reboot the handset.

Click To Call

Currently, the click to call feature only has limited support. There are too many different phone formats on the web so at the moment GS CTC only suppors phone numbers inside a link and those that start with tel:. Support for different numbers will eventually come. To activate click to call, simply click on the link and the handset will immediately start a call.

Notifications

Whenever a call is started or other action clicked, you'll get a chrome notification. When any call is made it confirms what number you're calling and lets you quickly cancel the call if it was started by mistake. All notifications should hang around for about 10 seconds, but you can dismiss it earlier with the "dismiss" button.


Planned Features

More support for different phone number formats
More user configurable options (refresh rate etc) from options page
Option to call selected text when right clicking on a text selection
