About macros with the Avaya 2050 IP Softphone
Use the Avaya 2050 IP Softphone to enter macros. A macro is a sequence of keystrokes that you
can use to automate repetitive actions. For example, you can program a macro that selects a
particular telephone line and then dials a telephone number automatically, or a macro that ensures
a certain number is always dialed out on a particular telephone line.
To access the Avaya 2050 IP Softphone Macro Settings menu from the Call Control window, click
File > Settings > Macros
All macros are listed in the Macros Settings window. You can also access macros by selecting
Keys > Macros.
