IP Softphone 2050 overview
The IP Softphone 2050 turns your computer into a telephone. To make a
call, you dial with your keyboard or mouse. To answer a call, you simply
click a button. Instead of holding a telephone receiver to hear and speak
to callers, you wear a headset.
Designed to work with IP-based phone systems, the IP Softphone 2050
provides Voice Over IP (VoIP) services using a telephony server and your
company’s Local Area Network (LAN).
The server that supports your IP Softphone 2050 determines what
features you can receive. For example, your server might provide
Call Conference, Call Transfer, and Call Forward.

The IP Softphone 2050 supports the following features:
•12 programmable feature keys: 6 Programmable Line
(DN)/Feature Keys (self-labeled) and six lines/features accessed by
pressing the shift key
•4 soft keys (self-labeled) that prove access to a maximum of 10
features
•multi-field display
