When the client receives the email, all he has to do is click on the supplied link.
17.12.3 WebEx Access without Email
Without email access, the customer must go to the following Internet address by
opening an Internet explorer window and entering ‘pcmrp.webex.com’ (no quotes).
Optionally, you may go to Configuration, About pc/MRP,
and press Ctl-W. This will bring up your browser and directly connect to pcmrp.webex.com.

WebEx portal will present the next screen for pre-session information.

should be allowed to continue. Check the ‘Always
trust…’ checkbox if you wish and then press the ‘Yes’ button.
