Chapter 1 Installing the i2050 Software Phone

USB Audio Kit
Operation of the i2050 Software Phone requires the use of the Nortel Networks USB Audio Kit.
The USB Audio Kit provides a high quality predictable audio interface which is highly optimized
for telephony applications. The USB Audio kit allows the i2050 Software Phone to have an
absolute and predictable loss and level plan implementation which is necessary to meet TIA-810,
FCC part 68 and its international equivalents as well as the ADA requirements for the hearing
impaired. With the USB Audio kit, the i2050 can achieve performance rivaling or surpassing that
of hardware telephones.
The USB Audio Kit is fully compliant with version 1.1 of the USB Device Specification and
Windows Plug & Play specifications. It is fully compatible with the suspend and resume functions
for effective use in battery operated laptops. It is functional on Windows 2000 Professional,
Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Millennium. No drivers or software are
required for installation.

Installing the USB Audio Headset
1

Connect the coiled lower cord to the headset cord with the Quick Disconnect connector.
Ensure the Quick Disconnect is securely fastened.

Connect the headset cord to the RJ9 jack on the adaptor.

Connect the USB cable to the headset adaptor and to one of the USB jacks on the back of your
PC or USB hub.

The first time the headset adapter is plugged in, there will be a delay while the Windows
operating system configures the device and locates appropriate driver software. During the
installation you may be prompted to supply the original Windows CD ROM so that the
Windows operating system can locate drivers.

After you have installed the USB headset adapter, you must use the i2050 Software Phone
Configuration Utility to select ‘USB Audio Device’.

USB FAQ
•

My computer doesn't have USB, can I use an add-on USB card?
The computer must have a USB connector. The USB Headset has not been tested on USB add
on or upgrade cards. Performance or operation is not guaranteed of these cards.

•

I don't have enough USB ports available, can I use a USB hub?
The USB Headset has been tested successfully behind a variety of USB hubs. It is not practical
to test on all of them but no issues have been uncovered on the ones that have been tested. For
best results, use a powered hubs.

Optional In-Use Indicator (not provided with kit)
A 2.5mm output jack is provided next to the USB connector for activation of a visual in-use
indicator such as the 1127P Desktop Visual Alerter from Algo Communication Products Ltd.

Description

Hardware ID

Do not change the information in the first or last box in the Hardware ID field.
The middle box contains the MAC address for the Ethernet card installed in your computer.
The i2050 Software Phone uses the MAC address of the computer as its hardware ID. You may
have to change this value if there is more than one Ethernet card in the PC or if the PC is using an
extranet client which hides the true MAC address. For example, Nortel Networks Contivity
Extranet Switch uses a single MAC address for all clients. This can potentially cause connection
issues with your communications server.

The intuitiveness of the i2050 Software Phone interface is based on its similarity and compatibility
with the ergonomics of the i2004 Internet Telephone and Windows-based applications. Training
investment with the i2004 and network applications presented using the i2004 are directly portable
to i2050 use.
Moreover, the i2050 Software Phone allows users to customize the interface to their own
preferences for:
•
•
•
•

volume of speaker and microphone
type of “receiver and speaker” (handset, headset, or hands-free communication)
language of interface
ringer device

The i2050 Software Phone presents clearly identified windows to allow users to:
•
•
•
•

manage one or more communications in progress
access local or remote corporate directories
track and manage records of incoming and outgoing calls
access network resident services provided by the call server such as voice mail

The following i2050 Software Phone interfaces are described in their own section:
•
•
•

Primary User Interface, which provides access to features and line appearances
System Tray Interface, which provides operation of the i2050 from the Windows system tray
Directory Interface, which offers access to internal and external databases (directory, personal
address book, call logbook, quick-dial lists)

Primary User Interface
The i2050's Primary User Interface provides call control and access to other network services. The
display area and application buttons are mapped directly from the i2004 Internet Telephone.
Therefore, knowledge of one interface is directly portable to the other, reducing training costs.

System Tray Interface
Many of i2050 Software Phone features are available from the i2050's System Tray Interface. This
interface allows you to operate the i2050 Software Phone without interrupting your workflow. For
example, you can answer an incoming call from the system tray without launching the Primary
User Interface.

Local Directory Interface
The i2050's Directory Interface allows the user to maintain a personal directory for placing calls.
The directory may be stored with the i2050 itself (by default in a local file named Directory.mdb);
or linked to external directories. Linking to LDAP, Outlook, Windows Address Book (WAB) and
ACT! directory types is supported.
Users can create, modify and delete entries in the local directory and may copy entries from
external directories, the redial list and the caller lists into the local directory (select an entry, right
click and select "Add to Local Directory …").
Directory lists can be "filtered" in simple or complex ways to show, for example, people who's last
name starts with 'B' and work for "Nortel Networks".

Chapter 2 i2050 Software Phone - Feature Overview

Ten items from each of the Quick Dial, Caller List ad Redial List are also viewable from the
Primary User Interface and the System Tray Interface.
The Quick Dial list is a shortcut to entries stored elsewhere (in the local directory or in an external
directory). Callers list and Redial list are stored as lists within the i2050's directory storage file.
Some communications servers do not provide caller identification to the i2050 Software Phone.
