1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 What is Vonage SoftPhone X-PRO?

Vonage SoftPhone X-PRO is a software application that can transform your PC or Mac
into a phone. This gives you the advantage of using the same system to make and
receive voice calls that you use to check your email and do other computing tasks. The
application uses the SIP Protocol for establishing phone calls over a variety of networks
among which include the Internet and the traditional telephone network.

The softphone includes two different audio compression codecs, which means excellent
quality of service on dial-up, broadband and wireless connections. Using a broadband
Internet connection along with the associated audio compression codec results in a
quality of service that is often equivalent to that of traditional telephone systems.

This guide covers the various features of Vonage SoftPhone X-PRO ranging from
instructions on how to accomplish the more simple tasks such as making and receiving
calls to more complex operations such as call conferencing and call transfer. This guide
also includes sections covering system requirements, installation, and configuration of
the softphone.

the license agreement and click "Agree" to proceed. If the license agreement

under Settings).
2. Launch the Add or Remove Programs utility.
3. From the Add or Remove Programs window, choose Vonage SoftPhone X-PRO
and click Change/Remove. Click Yes to confirm the un-installation.

5
2.3 The Audio Tuning Wizard

When you launch the application for the first time you will be greeted with the Audio
Tuning Wizard. The Audio Tuning Wizard allows you to adjust the levels of both your
speaker and microphone devices so that you will be able to optimize the quality of your
phone conversations.

The following section will guide you through the Audio Tuning Wizard to set up your
system so that you can begin making phone calls.

Important: You are advised to complete the Audio Tuning Wizard successfully to
ensure that your audio devices are properly installed and in working order.

1. Click Next on the opening dialog box of the Audio Tuning Wizard to begin.
2. Select your Speaker and Microphone devices from the drop-down lists. Note that
if you have any configured sound devices such as USB headsets or USB phones
that these should be available from the lists.
3. Select your Speaker and Microphone Mixer devices. These will typically be the
device name of your sound card. Click Next to proceed.
4. Adjust your speaker volume by moving the slider until you reach a comfortable
level. Click Next to proceed.

noise in your environment to improve the audio quality of your conversations. It
is important to remain silent during the calibration. To begin, click on the Start
Calibration Test button. When the calibration is finished click Next to proceed.
7. The final dialog box asks you to specify the type of Internet connection you will
be using. Selecting Cable/DSL/LAN will provide you with better voice quality,
although it will take up more available bandwidth during calls. When using a dial-
up connection be sure to select this as your connection type.

8. When you have completed the wizard, click Finish. If you wish to re-adjust any
of the settings available from the wizard, click Back until you reach the
appropriate stage.

2.4 Logging Into Your Vonage Account

After you have completed the Audio Tuning Wizard you will be asked to log into your
Vonage account. Enter your Vonage phone number and password into the login box
and click Login.

Important: An incorrectly entered phone number or password can result in a failed login
and will not allow you to make or receive any calls. This will be indicated on the
application in the Call Status (see section 3.1.1) of the softphone as “Login Failed!
Contact Network Admin.” For this reason, it is recommended that you copy and paste
your phone number and password into the login box to reduce the possibility of any
incorrectly entered values.

It is recommended that you click the Remember check boxes for both of these fields so
that your phone number and password will automatically be filled in each time the login
box appears. This is preferable since the login box appears every time you launch the
application at the beginning of your session.

Note: If you click Cancel, the login box will close along with the application – you must
enter a phone number and password and click Login in order to start the application.

8

3.1.1 Call Data

The individual indicator will flash to show that the feature is enabled. Clicking on the
indicator again will disable that feature as shown by a grayed out indicator.

3.1.3 Call Mode Indicators

party.
• The Conference button enables the user to participate in 3 way calling.

3.6 Toolbar

4 How-to

4.1 Place a Call

With Vonage SoftPhone X-PRO you can make calls by dialing on the Dialpad, by using
the speed dial list, or by using the computer keyboard.

On the Dialpad, enter a phone number by clicking on the number buttons or by typing
directly on your keyboard. Click the Call button, or press Enter.

You will note the Caller ID display line shows the actual number being dialed. The call
status line displays the Trying message while the system attempts to contact the number
you dialed. Once the system establishes contact, Vonage SoftPhone X-PRO starts
timing the call and the status line displays the Connected Message. Once the call starts,
just speak into the microphone. When you’re ready to hang up, click Hang-up.

For the next call, you may need to clear a phone number from the display; this is done
by clicking on the Clear button found above the Dialpad.

4.2 Answer a Call

You need to have Vonage SoftPhone X-PRO running to answer an incoming call.
When your computer receives a call, you will hear a ringing sound. Simultaneously, an
available line will began flashing and the Caller ID will display the identification of the
calling party. Vonage SoftPhone X-PRO has an automatic answer feature, which will be
outlined later in this section.

4.3 Place a Call on Hold

While you’re on a call, you can place a call on hold simply by selecting another Line
button. The active call is automatically placed on hold and the Line button flashes to
indicate the call is on hold. To resume the call, re-select the line button where the active
call is located. Alternatively, you may place a call on hold by clicking its Line button and
resume the call by selecting the Line button again.

4.4 End a Call

As with traditional phones, a call is brought to a close when either you or the person you
are talking to actively ends the call. To end a call, simply click the red Hang Up button at
the left of the Dialpad.

5 Advanced Calling Features

5.1 Inbound Call Options

Vonage SoftPhone X-PRO gives the user several control functions to manage incoming
calls. The three discussed below enhance that control based upon the user’s
preferences and the real-time situation.

5.1.1 Do Not Disturb (DND)

The Do Not Disturb (DND) mode can be turned on or off on the call display. To activate
DND click the indicator once and it will display in dark letters. To deactivate DND click
the indicator once more and it will become grayed. If Vonage SoftPhone X-PRO is in
the” Do Not Disturb" mode, all incoming calls will be automatically sent directly to
Voicemail.

5.1.2 Call Ignore

When an inbound call rings, a new icon appears just below the Caller ID display
indicating IGNORE. If the user is hosting a conference (3 way call) or otherwise unable
to accept the call, a click on the IGNORE icon will give a “Busy” indication to the caller.
The IGNORE icon is activated by an incoming call.

5.1.3 Automatic Answer


Vonage SoftPhone X-PRO supports Automatic Call Answer.
The Auto-Answer icon is an “AA” displayed at the lower left side of the Call Display
Screen. The “AA” icon shows a blinking red status when auto-answer is activated to alert
the user of the fact that all incoming calls will be automatically answered. The icon is
gray when de-activated.

Vonage SoftPhone X-PRO, by default, waits 6 seconds before auto-answering however


this parameter is adjustable by way of the Menu/User Settings.

The Auto Answer feature is useful in numerous situations but is most powerful when
coupled with the Auto-Conference feature outlined below.

5.2 Conference Calling (3 Way Calling)

To talk to more than one party simultaneously in a conference call (3 way call), your
SoftPhone is able to support both Internet and regular telephone calls in a single
conference (3 way call).

You may initiate the conference (3 way call) by calling the parties or you may allow the
conference parties to call you. As you answer and/or make the calls individually, each
Line button will display a green active indicator. To initiate the conference (3 way call)
simply click the Conference button below the Dialpad and both of the lines will be
included in the conference call (3 way call).

Click the Conference button once again and both callers will be placed on hold. Once
you have ended the conference call (3 way call), you also have the option to talk to each

12
party individually by clicking on each respective line. If one party ends their call, the
remaining party will be placed on hold and then you will be able to talk to that party by
clicking on their respective line.

Conferences may be multi-nodal, meaning each Vonage SoftPhone X-PRO user can
add parties to the conference, utilizing their Vonage SoftPhone X-PRO as a node.

For example, a user hosting his own conference call can then join another user’s
conference call, thereby including more than three total parties.

NOTE: The more parties included in the conference, the more bandwidth necessary to
maintain high audio quality.

5.3 Call Transfer

Note: Call Transfer works with inbound calls ONLY. To initiate a transfer follow these steps:

With a current call, inform the other party that you are going to transfer them to a third
party and then click the Transfer button.
Dial the number you wish to transfer the call to.
Click the Transfer button again and the call is sent to the number dialed.

5.4 Automatic Conferencing & 3 Way Calling

Vonage SoftPhone X-PRO supports Automatic Call Conferencing. The end point
functioning as the Conference Host has control of how the participants will be admitted
to the conference. The Conference Host has four levels of control as outlined in the
following table:

Control profile Conference Process


Manual conference Conference Host manually
accepts calls and adds each to
the conference.
Auto-answer, manual add to Vonage SoftPhone X-PRO
conference automatically answers calls and
the host manually adds each to
conference
Individual answer, auto add Host answers each call and
to conference each is automatically added to
conference
Conference Server Mode Vonage SoftPhone X-PRO
(auto-answer/auto- acts as a fully automated
conference) conference server

13
Calls may be selectively answered, selectively added to the conference, or the
Conference Host may automate as much or as little of the teleconferencing process as
desired. When the teleconference process is fully automated by setting Vonage
SoftPhone X-PRO to both auto-answer and auto-conference, Vonage SoftPhone X-PRO
functions as a standalone, unattended, conference server, and it can run on either a
local machine or a remote machine.

8 Mac OS X Users

Other than a few exceptions, the versions of Vonage SoftPhone X-PRO for Mac OS X
should behave exactly as those for Windows. The following differences, however, do
exist for installs of the software on Mac OS X.

1. For Windows users, the Mute function is toggled by the Ctrl + U combination.
For Mac users the Mute function is toggled by the space bar.

2. For Mac users running under OS X 10.3 "Panther", the F9 key, normally used for
showing and hiding the Diagnostic Window, is used by the Exposé system
service. The hot key to show the Diagnostic Window in this case is Command-D.

3. The "WindowShade X" system extension from Unsanity, which collapses


windows to their title bars when minimized, does not work well with X-PRO's
windows, as they have no title bars. If you are running this system extension, we
recommend that you add X-PRO to the "Exclude List" found in WindowShade X's
System Preferences configuration pane.
