Nortel Networks IP Softphone 2050
Start the IP Softphone 2050 in one of the following ways:
• Select Start > Programs > Nortel Networks > IP Softphone 2050.
• Click the desktop shortcut (if one was created during the installation).
• Click Automatic startup sequence.
Note: If you want the IP Softphone 2050 to start automatically when the
machine boots up, create a shortcut to the application in the Startup
folder.
When an IP Softphone 2050 is started for the first time and connects to the
network, it needs to execute the following start-up sequence:
1 Get the IP parameters.
2 Find a Media Gateway server and authenticate the user.
As the IP Softphone 2050 registers with the Voice Gateway Media Card:
• If a non-null node password is enabled, it prompts for a node number and
password. Enter the node number and password using the keyboard or
numeric key pad. After the password is verified, enter the TN of the IP
Softphone 2050. Refer to IP Line: Description, Installation, and
Operation (553-3001-365) for more on the password feature.
• If the null node password is configured and enabled, these screens are
skipped and no option is provided to change the password.
• If the node password is disabled or not configured, it prompts for a node
number and TN. Enter the node number and TN using the keyboard or
numeric key pad.
The IP Softphone 2050 is now configured and can be used.
