8.4 Answering a Call
Depending on the run mode selected for Linphone, there are several ways you would
notice an incoming call:
Normal Application
Incoming calls can only be received and answered if Linphone is already running.
You then hear the ring sound on your headset or your speakers. If Linphone is not
running, the call cannot be received.
GNOME Panel Applet
Normally, the Linphone panel applet would run silently without giving any notice
of its existence. This changes as soon as a call comes in: the main window of Lin-
phone opens and you hear a ring sound on your headset or speakers.
Once you have noticed an incoming call, just click Call or Answer to pick up the phone
and start talking. If you do not want to accept this call, click Release of Refuse.
8.5 Using the Address Book
Linphone offers to manage your SIP contacts. Start the address book with Go → Address
book. An empty list window opens. Click Add to add a contact.
The following entries need to be made for a valid contact:
Name
Enter the name of your contact. This may be a full name, but you can also use a
nickname here. Choose something you easily remember this person as. If you
choose to see this person's online status, this name is shown in the My online friends
tab of the main window.
SIP Address
Enter a valid SIP address for your contact.
Proxy to Use
If needed, enter the proxy to use for this particular connection. In most cases, this
would just be the SIP address of the SIP server you use.
