This is part of my guide for installing the version 2 or 3 softphones.
If the 2050 softphone program has not started, then double click on the link to activate it. You will be presented with the “Quick start” help screen. I personally select the option to “Never show Quick Start at startup”. You will probably get a error message because the IP settings have not been entered in yet.
Select from the top left hand side of the screen, “File” & then click on the “Settings” option.
Under "Settings”, select “Server" & Untick the “Automatic DHCP” box . Below that line, select “Primary” against “server” In the IP box, use the following servers address information & enter in the IP address of your configured Signalling Server or ITG Line card. E.g. 203.133.184.188
The port should be 4100 (CS 1000M or Meridian 1). The BCM system uses Port 7000.
You may need to check the “Sound Devices” section. Make sure that they are correctly configured. Against “Advanced Audio”, you may want to change the Jitter to 4 frames.
You can select the “Sounds” box to select a compatible sound file to be played when the 2050 softphone is enabled during startup. The “Lamp Sounds” section can be set-up to play a sound, when a message has been left in your mailbox.
Finally, if you have a USB Headset, then you can use the “USB Headset” options to enable it.
On the initial 2050 power up sequence, you will have to enter in the Node ID & TN number. i.e.
