Softphone 2050 Graphical External Application Server

IP Softphone 2050 Graphical External Application Server

The Graphical External Application Server (GXAS) is a plugin for the IP Softphone 2050 that enables you to launch and interact with applications that are available on a GXAS server from within the IP Softphone 2050 application.

After selecting an application, you can interact with the application in a separate session window as though it was running locally on your own machine.

The GXAS plugin is automatically installed with the IP Softphone 2050 application.

Configuring the GXAS plugin

Before the GXAS plugin can be used, the GXAS server must be specified in the Settings menu. For more information, see “Server” on page 82.

Starting the GXAS plugin

You can start the GXAS plugin by double-clicking the Expand to PC button or by selecting View > Graphical External Application Server.

The available applications are shown in the GXAS Applications window.

If a default GXAS application has been previously selected, click the Expand to PC button once to launch the default application in the session window.

Selecting a GXAS application

To launch an application, you can double-click the appropriate icon in the GXAS Applications window or select an application icon by highlighting it and clicking OK.
