4 Preferences Reference
Choose Softphone > Preferences. The Preferences window appears. The Preferences panels let users control the
way that they work with Bria. It also contains fields to configure features that apply globally, rather than on a
per-account basis.
The following sections discuss only the tabs and fields that you, the administrator, should complete. Other
fields, which control user preferences, are not discussed.
4.1 Preferences – Devices
On this panel, you should complete only the Deskphone information on the Other Devices tab, and only if you
support deskphone use. Leave the other tabs for each user to complete to match their individual hardware.
Setting up a Deskphone
If your enterprise uses SIP deskphones, you can configure Bria to use them. Users will be able to initiate calls
from Bria then switch over to the deskphone for the rest of the call.
The deskphone must be a SIP phone that supports dialog events and out-of-dialog REFERs, it must be
registered on the PBX with its own extension (not the same extension as the user’s Bria account) and it must be
on the local network (reachable without NAT traversal).
To set up for deskphones:
• Make sure the deskphone has already been set up in
your network and on your PBX, and that it can make
phone calls.
• Click Deskphone in the Other Devices tab and enter
the URI of the deskphone. For example,
[email protected].
• To test the deskphone setup, on the Bria dashboard menu, choose Call Using Deskphone. Then place a
phone call.
