Signing in
The IP Softphone 3456 should sign in to your SIP account automatically if your
account has been correctly configured. In some circumstances (depending on
how the system administrator has configured the softphone), you may be
asked to authenticate to a login server during application start up. If you are
unsure how to login, see your system administrator.
Screen layout
Before continuing, it would be worth spending some time on the interface
layout. Not all function buttons are visible when the phone is inactive - for
example, call transfer and hold options do not appear unless the phone is
engaged on a call. Other function buttons, such as the voicemail notification
button, only appear as follows:
• when configured to do so (see the system administrator).
• when you receive a message.
