NOTE:

IP Softphone and IP Agent, which use a dual connect (two extensions) architecture, are no
longer supported. R3 and R4 IP Softphone and IP Agent, which use a single connect (one
extension) architecture, continue to be supported. This applies to the RoadWarrior and the
Telecommuter configurations for the IP Softphone. Native H.323 registrations for R1 and
R2 Softphones continue to be supported.

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
