About macros with the IP Softphone 2050
Use the IP Softphone 2050 to enter macros. A macro is a sequence of keystrokes that you can use
to automate repetitive actions. For example, you can program a macro that selects a particular
telephone line and then dials a telephone number automatically, or a macro that ensures a certain
number is always dialed out on a particular telephone line.
To access the IP Softphone 2050 Macro Settings menu from the Call Control window, click File >
Settings > Macros
All macros are listed in the Macros Settings window. You can also access macros by selecting
