SIP Multimedia PC Client

The SIP Multimedia PC Client is a software application that transforms your PC into a powerful telephony and multimedia communications tool. This software application runs on your PC and provides access to SIP features and multimedia services.
Most users will choos e to u se a heads et to speak and hea r dur ing ca ll s. Opti onall y, you can use a separate microphone and your computer’s speakers for the voice part of the call (not recommended in open office environments).
Tip: Keep the SIP Multimedia PC Client running in the background whenever you are using your computer so you can easily accept or screen incoming calls.
SIP Multimedia PC Client User Guide
[Standard—Nortel Networks Confide ntial ]

SIP Multimedia PC Client Set

When the SIP Multimedia PC Client controls an i2004 Internet Telephone the configuration is called a SIP Multimedia PC Client Set. The i2004 Internet Telephone provides premium-quality voice, while your computer is dedicated to the data and video components of the multimedia session.
The SIP Multimedia PC Client Set is ideal when superior voice quality is required. It is also ide al whe n the sessi ons i nclude proc essing -inte nsive t asks s uch as real-time video, which would consume bandwidth required for voice processing.
To configure the SIP Multimedia PC Client to control your i2004 telephone, see
Chapter 5, “ Advanced se t-up”.

SIP Multimedia Blended PC Client

When you use your existing desktop telephone for voice calls and your SIP Multimedia PC Client for multimedia communication, it is called a SIP Multimedia Blended PC Client. A desktop telephone provides premium-quality voice, while your computer is dedicated to the data component s of the multimed ia session.
21
The SIP Multimedia Blended PC Cli ent is a cost- effectiv e solution tha t allows you to maintain your current desktop telephone for voice calls, while enhancing your communication possibilities with multimedia features such as the collaboration tools.
Note: Calling actions, audio , vide o and adv anc ed screening settings are disabled for the SIP Multimedia Blended PC Client.

Useful terms to know

The SIP Multimedia PC Client uses some terms that may be new to you. Take a moment to read through the explanations to familiarize yourself with the following terms:
“Proxy server” on page 22
“Address” on page 22
“Network-based address book” on page 23
“Buddies” on page 23
“Presence” on page 23
“Service package” on page 23

Proxy server

A proxy server is an ap plica tion t hat r elays data betwee n yo ur SIP Multimed ia PC Client and the network. The IP address of the proxy server is already defined in your SIP Multimedia PC Client. When you connect to the proxy server you need to provide a valid username and password.

Address

When a procedure instructs you to enter an address it means entering either a telephone number or a SIP address. A SIP address is a unique identifier of users on the IP network. It has the same format as an email address, for example, jdoe@lab1.org, but it is not an email addr ess. The networ k can identi fy where you are and route your calls by tracki ng your SIP addr ess when you sign-i n to any SIP Multimedia PC Client, SIP Multimedia Web Client or i2004 Internet Telephone. In order to make it easier to pl ace calls, you can store addresses (SIP addre sses or telephone numbers) in an network-based address book.
Using SIP addresses allows you to take advantage of the more powerful features of the PC Client, such as presence.
SIP Multimedia PC Client User Guide
[Standard—Nortel Networks Confide ntial ]

Network-based address book

Your personal network-based address book is a key tool for managing addresses. You can save your addresses for quick call access as well as organize addresses into groups.
When you make changes in your network-based address book it applies to all the devices you can use to access the network (SIP Multimedia PC Client, SIP Multimedia Web Client, i2004 Internet Telephone).

Buddies

Within your network-based address book, you can designate entries as Buddies. People that you contact f requently are good candidates for you r l is t of Buddies. If you have entered the SIP ad dre ss of someone in your l ist of Budd ies, then y ou can see their online presence status. Just click the Buddies button to see your list of Buddies and whether or not they are available to contact.
23

Presence

Presence is a feature that allows you to see the online status of other users on the network and also a way to let oth ers know your st atus. In the Statu s Area there is a drop-down menu where you can choose your presence state to let other users know if you are online or away from your desk. You can also set the system to automatically alert others whether you are away from your PC or on the telephone. Click on the Buddies button to see your Buddies and their online presence status.

Service package

Your service provider or system administrator assigns a service package with pre-defined features and options for you. Some features will only be available to you if they are listed in your service package. For example, your company may not support PC video cameras and therefore these settings would not be available for you to change. In addition to video, your service package defines how many Buddies you can have, how man y call ers you c an joi n in an a udio con feren ce, and whether you have voice mail enabled.
