The remaining fields are not usually required by services providers, but may be useful depending on the local network configuration. Consult an appropriate local network administrator to determine weather these fields are required for the proper use of the ADTRAN IP SoftPhone.

After entering all of the information, select OK to save the settings. If all required information is saved, the softphone will attempt to log into the VoIP account, indicated by a Logging in ... message in the call status screen.

When the message Logged in - Enter Phone Number appears in the call status screen, the ADTRAN IP SoftPhone is ready to make and receive calls. If the message Login failed! Contact Network Admin appears, login has failed and calls can not be made or received. For troubleshooting tips for this and other potential softphone problems, refer to Appendix A.

Placing a Call

As mentioned in the previous section, the ADTRAN IP SoftPhone becomes ready to make or receive calls once the message Logged in - Enter Phone Number appears in the call status screen.

There are several ways to enter a phone number in the ADTRAN IP SoftPhone. You can select the digits of the ADTRAN IP SoftPhone’s on-screen numeric keypad, or enter the numbers/letters directly from the computer’s alphanumeric keyboard. As a new number is entered, Line 1 is automatically selected for the call. Erroneous digits may be erased by selecting the CLEAR button on the dial pad or pressing backspace on the computer keyboard. As phone numbers are entered, suggestions for completing the number may appear. To default to this suggested number, press the Tab key on the computer keyboard. After entering a number, select the green dial button on the on-screen dial pad or press Enter on the computer keyboard.

Calls can also be placed by selecting an available on-screen line button and dialing the appropriate number and by entering a valid SIP URL such as: username@domain.aaa.

Like a traditional telephone, a ring tone will be heard as the ADTRAN IP SoftPhone tries to access the remote party. The message Ringing will also appear in the call status screen. When the remote party answers, the message Call Established appears in the call status screen.

Ending a Call

As with traditional phones, softphone calls are ended when either the ADTRAN IP SoftPhone user or the other party hangs up. An active call can be ended by selecting the Hangup button on the on-screen dial pad. When a call has ended, the message Hung up will appear in the call status screen. After a call has ended, details of the call (such as the call length and caller ID) will remain in the call display. To clear the display, select the CLEAR button.

Redial

To redial a number, select the REDIAL button on the on-screen dial pad.

Answering a Call
