Panel Applet
Normally, the Ekiga 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 Ekiga
opens and you hear a ring sound on your headset or speakers.
Once you have noticed an incoming call, just click Accept to answer the call then start
talking. If you do not want to accept this call, click Reject. It is also possible to transfer
the call to another SIP address.

16.5 Using the Address Book

Ekiga offers to manage your SIP contacts. All of the contacts are displayed in the
Contacts tab, shown in the main window after startup. To add a contact, or a new contact
group, run Chat > Add Contact.
If you want to add a new group, enter the group name into the bottom input field and
press Add. The new group is then added to the group list and preselected.
The following entries are required 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.
SIP Address
Enter a valid SIP address for your contact.
Groups
If desired, add your own groups if you have many different contacts.
To call any contact from the address book, double-click this contact. The call is initiated
immediately.
