About this task

The softphone application runs on a personal computer that is connected over an IP network. In the road warrior mode, the application uses one channel for call control signaling and one channel for voice.

Note:

The System Parameters Customer Options screen is display only. Use the display system-parameters customer-options command to review the screen. The License File controls the system software release, the Offer Category, features, and capacities. With the init login, you cannot change the customer options, offer options, or special applications screens.
