3.10 Working in Deskphone Mode
If you have a SIP deskphone, you can use Bria in deskphone mode. In this mode:
• You can initiate calls from Bria and then pick up the deskphone receiver in order to speak to the person.
You can then control the call using the deskphone controls. You can also hang up the call using Bria.
• Information about incoming, outgoing and established calls is displayed in Bria in read-only mode.
Set up for Deskphone Mode
1. Get ready:
• Make sure the deskphone has already been set up in your network and can make phone calls.
• Find the URI of the deskphone. For example, [email protected].
• If you have multiple SIP accounts, the account that the deskphone URI belongs to must be the preferred
account for phone calls. From the menu bar, choose Bria > Preferences > Accounts to check which
account is the preferred account; change it if necessary.
2. From the menu bar, choose Bria > Preferences > Devices and display the Other Devices tab. Click
Deskphone. The Deskphone dialog appears.
