Nortel IP Softphone 2050
Start the IP Softphone 2050 in one of the following ways:
• Select Start > Programs > Nortel > IP Softphone 2050.
• Click the desktop shortcut (if one was created during the installation).
• Click Automatic startup sequence.
Note: If you want the IP Softphone 2050 to start automatically when the
PC starts, create a shortcut to the application in the Startup folder.
When an IP Softphone 2050 is started for the first time and connects to the
network, the IP Softphone executes the following start-up sequence:
1 Obtain the IP parameters.
2 Find a Media Gateway server and authenticate the user.
As the IP Softphone 2050 registers with the Voice Gateway Media Card, one
of the following occurs:
• If a non-null node password is enabled, you are prompted to enter the
node number and password. Use the keyboard or numeric keypad to enter
the prompts for a node number and password. After the password is
verified, enter the TN of the IP Softphone 2050. Refer to IP Line:
Description, Installation, and Operation (553-3001-365) for further
information about the password feature.
• If the null node password is configured and enabled, these screens are
skipped and no option is provided to change the password.
• If the node password is disabled or not configured, it prompts for a node
number and TN. Enter the node number and TN using the keyboard or
numeric keypad.
The IP Softphone 2050 is now configured and can be used.
This procedure is required for a new user of the IP Softphone 2050
application.
