Managing phones
555-233-506116 Issue 5 October 2002
Once you’re finished administering your MultiVantage system, you need to install
the IP Softphone software on each user’s PC.
Instructions for adding a road-warrior
application
You can use the road-warrior application when you have only a single telephone
line available to access the MultiVantage system over the IP network.
You also can “take over” an IP phone. Typically you would not have a different
extension for your softphone. When you log in, the softphone takes over the
existing phone extension (turn the DCP or IP phone off). During this time, that
DCP or IP phone is out of service. This is accomplished if, on the Station screen,
the IP Softphone field is
y.
We will add a road-warrior application at extension 3001. Except for
single-connect IP phones, you have to actually administer two extensions for each
road-warrior application. We will first add an H.323 extension at 3000.
To assign an H.323 extension, complete the following steps:
1. Type
add station 3000 and press RETURN.
The Station screen appears.
2. In the Type field, enter
H.323.
3. Press
ENTER to save your work.
