Panel Applet
Normally, the Ekiga panel applet would run silently without giving any notice of
its existence. This changes as soon as a call comes in. The main window of Ekiga
opens and you hear a ring sound on your headset or speakers.
Once you have noticed an incoming call, just click Accept to answer the call then start
talking. If you do not want to accept this call, click Reject. It is also possible to transfer
the call to another SIP address.
8.5 Using the Address Book
Ekiga offers to manage your SIP contacts. Start the address book with Tools > Address
book. An empty list window opens. To add a contact, first select Personal with your
mouse. Then right-click into the address window and select New Contact. Alternatively,
just press Ctrl > N.
The following entries are required for a valid contact:
Name
Enter the name of your contact. This may be a full name, but you can also use a
nickname here.
SIP Address
Enter a valid SIP address for your contact.
Email
Enter the e-mail address of your contact for your own reference.
Speed Dial
With a Speed Dial you can access often used numbers more easily. This is op-
tional.
Categories
If desired, add your own categories if you have many different contacts.
Local Address Book
By default, you have a local address book with the name Personal available. If you
need more address books, create them with File > New Address Book or use the
keyboard shortcut Ctrl + B .
