Nortel Networks IP Softphone 2050
It is also possible that different calls within the same system can be blocked
depending on the called party's node. Since the codec selection is per node,
it is possible for a system to have one node that is G.711 only and another with
G.711 and G.729A.
It is recommended that the system be configured with both G.711 and
G.729A if IP Softphone 2050s might connect using a modem. The typical
system configuration has both G.711 and G.729A available, so instances of
blocked calls to the IP Softphone 2050 should be low.
Element Manager is a simple and user-friendly web-based interface that
supports a broad range of system management tasks, including:
• configuration and maintenance of IP Peer and IP telephony features
• configuration and maintenance of traditional routes and trunks
• configuration and maintenance of numbering plans
• configuration of Call Server data blocks (such as configuration data,
customer data, Common Equipment data, D-channels)
• maintenance commands, system status inquiries, backup and restore
functions
• software download, patch download, patch activation
Element Manager has many features to help administrators manage systems
with greater efficiency. Examples are as follows:
• Web pages provide a single point-of-access to parameters that were
traditionally available through multiple overlays.
• Parameters are presented in logical groups to increase ease-of-use and
speed-of-access.
• The "hide or show information" option enables administrators to see
information that relates directly to the task at hand.
• Full-text descriptions of parameters and acronyms help administrators
reduce configuration errors.
• Configuration screens offer pre-selected defaults, drop-down lists,
checkboxes, and range values to simplify response selection.
