The Cisco VRC client is provided as web pages accessed with a web browser.
When VRC is running as a standalone application, the client is launched using an installation-specific URL.
When VRC is integrated with PTC, the client is launched from the PTC Launch Pad.
Use this procedure to log in to VRC (standalone) through the client.
Open the Internet Explorer browser.
Enter the following URL: http://<server name or IP address>:8080/VRC. The server name is the host name where the VRC Server software is running.
Minimize the browser window. The VRC login window appears.
Enter your Username and Password.
Check the box if you need your login to preempt someone who is logged in as this same user.
Click OK. The Cisco Voice Routing Center window appears.
Choose your operation from the VRC menus.
The Baseline View represents the current dial plan. Ideally the baseline is consistent with the physical network but can differ if the dial plan changes are made outside of VRC.
The Topology View is where you identify the set of elements that can participate in a dial plan. The VRC Topology View identifies the partitioning of those elements into regions which can be independently managed.
Note: If you are using VRC integrated with PTC, network topology operations are managed through the PTC Topology Manager and the VRC Topology View is not accessible from the VRC client.
The Design View is where you make changes to an existing dial plan or start a new dial plan design session.
