ABOUT THE EYEBEAM SIP SOFTPHONE
Wave supports the eyeBeam SIP softphone on platforms running Windows
XP, 2003, and 2000. If your system has properly configured SIP trunks, the
eyeBeam softphone can turn your PC into a SIP-based voice-over-IP
telephone.
To speak and listen, you can use your PC's microphone and speakers, or a
USB phone which will provide much higher quality. To place calls, you can use
ViewPoint or the eyeBeam window.
This section describes how to install and configure an eyeBeam SIP softphone
for use with Wave.
Note: Wave supports multiple line appearances with the eyeBeam SIP
softphone. Contact your system administrator for more information.
