Phone connection

By default, Jabber should connect to Phone Services without changes. Keep in mind that you should be within reach of your Desk Phone before taking and receiving calls this way. Jabber merely acts as a Call Controller.
Jabber can also act as a Softphone where your computer’s microphone and speakers are used for audio. The implication is that you no longer have to be in the office to make calls.

To enable Jabber as a Softphone, first make sure you have activated your system as described in Step 1 and follow the instructions below:
- Click the bottom left phone icon
- Select Use my computer for calls
- If connected successfully, the icon will change to the computer. You are ready to use Jabber for calls from any location.
