About this guide

This User Guide provides information about the Nortel Mobile Voice
Client (MVC) 2050.

The Nortel Mobile Voice Client (MVC) 2050 is designed to add wireless
voice communication to the Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).

Mobile Voice Client 2050 overview

8

Mobile Voice Client 2050
overview

Designed to work with your personal digital assistant (PDA) and IP-based
telephone systems, the Mobile Voice Client (MVC) 2050 provides real­time voice service over the Internet.

The MVC 2050 supports several features, including the following:

• 6 programmable line/feature keys

• 4 soft keys (self-labeled)

• 12-button dialpad

• multifield display

• end user-selectable skins

• directory capabilities including Personal Directory, Redial List, and
Callers List

To make a call from your PDA using the MVC 2050, you can dial with
your dialpad, use a macro, or copy and paste a number from another
application. You also can use one of the methods on your PDA System
Input Panel.

If you are using Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ 2003 Second Edition for
Pocket PC as your operating system, the MVC 2050 can also coexist with
a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) client, such as Apani™ Networks,
for connection to a business network.

Mobile Voice Client 2050 overview

Software dependencies

The following are the MVC 2050 primary software dependencies:

• Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC

• Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition for Pocket PC

Note: Windows Mobile 2003 SE AKU1 is not supported (Version

4.21.1088 (Build 14132)). AKU1 has a bug which makes it impossible
for third parties to use Settings applets. This is resolved with WM2003
SE AKU2 (Version 4.21.1088 (Build 14260.2.0.5)).

• GIPS NetEQ (included with the MVC 2050 software)

• VPN client (for secure access to a network)

For secure (VPN) access to a network, a VPN client is required. The
Apani™ VPN client has been tested with the MVC 2050.

Supported PDAs

Since the PDA industry evolves at a rapid pace, refer to Nortel's web site
(www.nortel.com/mvc2050

) to determine the latest PDA models tested

and supported, and any known issues.

A list of supported PDA's can be found with other MVC 2050 technical
documents at: http://www130.nortelnetworks.com/cgi-bin/eserv/cs/

main.jsp?cscat=documentation&tranProduct=13941.

Alternatively follow the links on www.nortel.com

to > Products & Services
> Products > Soft Clients & Phones > Mobile Voice Client 2050 >
Technical Specifications.

For Nortel Technical Support use this link: http://www.nortel.com/support

.

PDA processor models, speed, and amount of memory vary. To maintain
audio quality, do not overload the processor with intensive tasks while
using the MVC 2050. For example, Nortel does not recommend using
your PDA Internet browser while using the MVC 2050.

Mobile Voice Client 2050 overview

10

PDA vendors offer two types of rechargeable battery: standard and
extended-life. The extended-life battery is recommended to provide
longer call duration and increased call volume.

Headsets

A headset is required in order to send and receive telephone calls using
the MVC 2050 and your PDA. The headset is an important part of audio
quality.

PDAs that support stereo headphones with microphones, such as
Plantronics M130 Adjustable Fit Headset, are recommended.

The Dell specific headset with a button on the wire allows the MVC 2050
to answer an incoming call or release an active call by pressing the
button.

Contact your PDA vendor to obtain headset recommendations.

For more information about Automatic Gain Control, see “MVC 2050
configuration” on page 17.

CAUTION

MVC 2050 does not support Bluetooth
headsets.

Installing and configuring the
Mobile Voice Client 2050

To install MVC 2050 on your PDA:

1. If you have an older version of MVC 2050 installed on your PDA, you

must remove it prior to installing a newer version. See “Removing a
previous version of MVC 2050” on page 14.

2. Place your PDA in its cradle.

3. Synchronize your PDA with a desktop PC running Microsoft

ActiveSync®. See “Connecting a PDA to a desktop PC using
ActiveSync” on page 15.

4. Install the MVC 2050 from a Desktop. See “Installing the MVC 2050

from a Desktop PC using ActiveSync” on page 16.

Removing a previous version of MVC 2050

If a previous version of the MVC 2050 is installed on your PDA, delete the
old version before installing the new one, or the installation fails. See
Figure 3 on page 15.

Use the following procedure to remove the MVC 2050 from your PDA:

1. Select Start from the Main Application screen. A drop-down menu

appears.

2. Select Settings. The Settings dialog box appears.

3. Select the System tab. The System dialog box appears.

4. Select Remove Programs. A list of programs appears.

5. Select Mobile Voice Client 2050.

6. Select Remove. A dialog box appears, asking you to confirm this

decision.

7. Select Yes. A brief pause occurs while the PDA removes MVC 2050.

After the pause, a dialog box appears asking if you want to perform a
soft reset.

8. Select Yes. Your PDA restarts.

MVC 2050 installation method

The MVC 2050 supports installation from a docked PDA with a Microsoft
ActiveSync connection to a desktop PC.

Connecting a PDA to a desktop PC using ActiveSync

Use the following procedure to synchronize your PDA to your
desktop PC:

1. Place your PDA in its cradle.

2. Ensure that ActiveSync is running. Connection is confirmed on the

ActiveSync screen.

3. Wait for the two PCs to synchronize. Synchronization is confirmed on

the ActiveSync screen.

See Figure 4 on page 16. For details about synchronization, refer to the
User Manual for your PDA.

Installing the MVC 2050 from a Desktop PC using
ActiveSync

Use the following procedure to install MVC 2050 using the CD:

1. Insert the MVC 2050 CD into the CD-ROM drive of your desktop PC.

2. Go to your desktop, and double-click My Computer.

3. Select the CD Drive.

4. Select Setup.

5. Follow the instructions on the screen. The Install Wizard displays a

message asking you if you want to modify, install, or remove the
MVC 2050.

installation finishes, a message appears on the PC’s display
requesting that you attend to your device (PDA), and a message
appears on the PDA’s display asking you if you want to perform a soft
restart.

7. Select Yes. Your PDA restarts with the new version of the MVC 2050.

MVC 2050 configuration

Enable ClearType

The MVC 2050 uses a special screen font, which requires that
ClearType® be enabled on your PDA.

To enable ClearType:

1. From the PDA’s Main Application screen, select Start.

2. Select Settings.

3. Select Screen.

4. Select Enable Clear Type.

Automatic Gain Control

Since the MVC 2050 requires a headset to operate properly, disabling
Automatic Gain Control is sometimes necessary to attain optimum audio
quality.

Note: When the PDA is used in handsfree mode, without a headset,
the PDA microphone picks up sounds from the speaker, creating a
feedback loop. Automatic Gain Control is used in this instance to
avoid feedback. For further information about device hardware
settings, see your PDA Help system.

To disable Automatic Gain Control:

1. Select Start.

2. Select Settings.

3. Select System.

4. Select one of the following, depending on the PDA you are using:

a. Audio

b. Advanced Sounds

c. Microphone

5. Select Automatic Gain Control.

Programmable line/feature keys

Six programmable line/feature keys are located on the right side of the
skin. They are aligned vertically and are the same color as the display.
See Figure 6 on page 20.

Soft keys (self-labeled)

Four soft keys (self-labeled) are located in the bottom row of the display
area. See Figure 6 on page 20.
