The technical requirements say Plus adapters use HTTPS and Secure WebSocket. If a proxy is in the path, it must support WSS. The PDF also says Five9 does not support TLS 1.1, and that browsers need TLS 1.2. Unencrypted API connections are refused.

A screen pop that fails while voice still works is often this path: the media is fine and the websocket is not. Do not replace the headset first.

Voice can live while the pop dies.

  4. A note that voice is a different path

The note does not say 'replace the headset'.

Glossary. Manual touch: No automatic dial. TCPA manual touch adds typing, blocks paste, and enables Dial on a match. TCPA manual touch

Sister technologies. Salesforce IVR module. A script module, including SFDC Einstein. Different from the desktop adapter. IVR modules

Config. Mark where WSS would be dropped.

Troubleshooting. A new proxy was installed over the weekend. Calls still connect. Permit Secure WebSocket and retest the pop.

Cross-platform bridge. A mapping to another PBX or contact center is a teaching bridge. It is not an import button.

Future hook. The guide's cloud endpoint stays unset. Confirm before relying on a dated catalog or a case-study number.
