Managing calls with Mobile Voice Client 2050 Maintaining call quality If you are experiencing poor quality during a call on the MVC 2050, move closer to the WLAN access point. Distance from the access point reduces the throughput/data rate. Using MVC 2050 on a PDA in a closed area or indoors also reduces the throughput, compared to open space. MVC 2050 does not support Bluetooth accessory use. Bluetooth and 802.11b operate on the same frequency band, and use the same WLAN hardware on the PDA.
Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050 Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050 You can place a call from your list of contacts in the PDA Contacts application using Mobile Voice Client (MVC) 2050. See Figure 18.
Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050 Editing the Contacts list See the Contacts Help on your PDA for information about adding, deleting, and editing Contacts. See the appropriate Help screen for information on editing the Contacts in Outlook on your desktop PC. Accessing Contacts Help Use the following procedure to access your PDA Contacts Help system: 1. Select Start. A drop-down list appears. 2. Select Contacts. The Contacts screen appears. 3.
Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050 Figure 19: MVC 2050 Contacts screen Dialing a number from the Contacts list Use the following procedure to dial a number from the MVC 2050 using the Contacts list: 1. Select File > Contacts. The Contacts list appears. 2. Double-tap the name or number you want to dial. The Phone details dialog box appears. See Figure 20 on page 46. 3. Use the Phone details dialog box to modify the number to be dialed, as needed. 4.
Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050 Dialing formats Numbers must be in the canonical dialing format in order for your PDA to use them for dialing. The canonical address format is a universal telephone number format recognized by the WIndows Telephony Application Interface (TAPI). The canonical format identifies the components of a telephone number, which TAPI translates according to a country’s or region’s dialing rules.
Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050 Figure 20: Phone details dialog box 553-AAA1529 The following are the components for creating and using canonical dialing numbers: • area code, in the Contacts application • dialing properties, called Dialing Locations (see Figure 21 on page 47) Note: Information in the Dialing Locations tab indicates the origin of the call.
Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050 Figure 21: Dialing locations 47
Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050 Set the patterns for local, long-distance, and international dialing using Dialing Patterns. See Figure 22. Figure 22: Dialing patterns 553-AAA1534 Area code Set the Area code to provide the default area code for dialed numbers. To establish the default Area code: 1. Select the PDA Contacts > Tools > Options. 2. Assign the correct value to the Country/Region and Area code. See Figure 21 on page 47.
Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050 The Contacts application prefixes the default area code to numbers you enter in your Contacts application. The PDA attempts to interpret the numbers as canonical. For example: enter a seven-digit number. Contacts assumes that the number is in your area code, and the software adds the area code as a prefix to the seven-digit number to create a canonical number.
Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050 Example An end user has a DN on a server located in Atlanta and another DN on a server located in New York. The end user has set up two dialing locations: one named “Atlanta”’, with an area code of 404, and another named “New York”, with an area code of 646. The end user also has entered ‘646’ as the default area code in the Contacts application.
Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050 See your PDA Help system for a description of the values used in dialing patterns. ESN numbers To enter ESN numbers in Contacts, enter the ESN prefix followed by the number. Note: PDA Contacts does not accept the ‘~’ character used in the IP Softphone 2050 to express ESN numbers. You can provide a ‘~’ character to your PDA Contacts application by storing a ‘~’ character prefix digit in your PC Outlook Contacts.
Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050 Figure 23: ESN dialing 553-AAA1532 Extension numbers The PDA Contacts application dials extension numbers only if they do not satisfy Microsoft criteria for numbers that require an area code. The following three methods can be used to manage dialing extension numbers: 1. Select Extension in the Phone details dialog box. See Figure 24 on page 53. 2.

Mobile Voice Client 2050 for expert users Mobile Voice Client 2050 for expert users This section discusses the selections used to diagnose or correct error conditions, and are not used during normal operation of Mobile Voice Client 2050. Client diagnostics Client diagnostics are used to determine the connection status of the MVC 2050. Access client diagnostics from the Help > Diagnostics screen. See Figure 14 on page 30.
Mobile Voice Client 2050 for expert users Audio quality Audio quality of voice transmission depends on many factors, such as codec characteristics, echo canceller, jitter buffer size, and listener perception. Audio quality is controlled from two screens: • Audio, the quality slider tab • Advanced Audio (for expert users) Audio quality slider You can control audio quality by using the slider tab to reduce audio delay and increase audio clarity. See Figure 33.
Mobile Voice Client 2050 for expert users Audio delay If you experience audio delay, you can decrease the number of buffers, and reduce the delay, by adjusting the slider on the Audio screen. Audio clarity If you experience breakups in the receive audio stream, adjust the setting towards Higher Quality. This increases the number of audio buffers used to process incoming audio. If the delay is too large, you can decrease this setting.
Mobile Voice Client 2050 for expert users Advanced Audio Advanced audio settings are recommended for use only by advanced users. See Figure 34 on page 81. NetEQ software, included with the MVC 2050 software, provides loss concealment and compensation; NetEQ is the default setting. You cannot adjust the MVC 2050 Advanced Audio settings.
