Overview

If your administrator has configured a softphone extension for you or you want to use the InfinityOne softphone hotdesked to your current extension on a desktop device, here are the steps to enable and register the InfinityOne Softphone.

STEP ONE: Enable Softphone

Browser/Desktop Interface

The Desktop interface allows you to always be connected and ready to receive calls, even when the application window is not open, provided it is "started". (You have the option to configure the application to always start on login.) The Web softphone allows you to stay connected from anywhere as long as you have a web browser open. E-MetroTel recommends using either the mobile or Desktop softphone, although the Web softphone provides a good solution when those options are not available (such as an employee needing to quickly make a phone call while away from the office).

  1. Click on the account box (top left where your username and avatar are shown)
  2. Select My Account
  3. Select Phone
  4. Toggle on the Enable Softphone switch
  5. The page will automatically refresh and return to the home page

Mobile Interface

The mobile softphone interface is always ready to make and receive calls, and even interacts with the native mobile device interface for managing voice calls in the locked state.

STEP TWO: Access Softphone

Browser/Desktop Interface

From the left navigation panel, select any channel to display the right icon menu.
From the right icon menu, select the Phone icon  to display the softphone.

Mobile Interface
