The Basics

Voice over IP (VoIP) phones are loaded with
features and there are usually several different
ways to perform the same task. This section starts
by teaching the basic methods that mimic those
of a traditional phone. Once you get the hang of it,
you can move on to the more advanced methods
and features described in later sections.
Using the "Soft Keys" below the
screen...

directly below the screen and the associated label
above each one. These buttons are called "soft
keys" and their functions can change based on
