InfinityOne - Softphone Controls

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

The InfinityOne Softphone allows you to make and take calls directly within the InfinityOne user interface and it behaves similar to an E-MetroTel XStim or Nortel/Avaya IP (Unistim) phone This guide provides a description of how to use your InfinityOne Softphone. The InfinityOne Softphone is supported across a variety of personal computer and mobile device operating systems. InfinityOne has both a Desktop and Mobile user interface that are recommended for full time telephony use; the Desktop user interface is supported on Windows, OS X (macOS), and Linux. The softphone is also available on the Web interface, although it is recommended for very low usage scenarios as there are many aspects of its operation that are dependent on having the browser window open and easily accessible.

To obtain a list of supported features and usage, see Feature Guides.

2. Configuring the InfinityOne Softphone

Please see Enable and Register Softphone for details.

3. Device Settings

Browser/Desktop Interface

You will need to connect the desired input and output audio devices to your computer to be used with the Softphone. You can use the computer's built-in speakers and microphone or you can connect your own microphone and/or headset. Go to Icon Menu - Device Settings for a description of how to configure your input and output devices.

Note that only USB headsets are supported with the Browser/Desktop InfinityOne Softphone. Bluetooth devices are currently not supported.

Mobile Interface

On the Mobile interface you will use the native mobile device capabilities for supported devices.

Wired and Bluetooth headsets are supported on the Mobile client. In-car entertainment/audio systems may produce unexpected results as they have proprietary mechanisms for managing multiple audio inputs and outputs to the car's entertainment system.
