GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE  
Version 2, June 1991  
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.  
59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA  
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but  
changing it is not allowed.  
Preamble  
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and  
change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your  
freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its  
users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's  
software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free  
Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License  
instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.  
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public  
Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free  
software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it  
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and  
that you know you can do these things.  
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these  
rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain  
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.  
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must  
give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or  
can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.  
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this  
license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.  
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone  
understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by  
someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the  
original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors'  
reputations.  
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the  
danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect  
making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must  
be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.  
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND  
MODIFICATION  
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the  
copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License.  
The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the  
Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to  
say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications  
and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without  
limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".  
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License;  
they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output  
from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program  
(independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends  
on what the Program does.  
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you  
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on  
each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the  
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other  
recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.  
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option  
offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.  
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a  
work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the  
terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:  
a. You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you  
changed the files and the date of any change.  
b. You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part  
contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a  
whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.  
c. If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you  
must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary  
way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright  
notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a  
warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions,  
and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program  
itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work  
based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)  
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that  
work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and  
separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those  
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same  
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the  
4

whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to  
the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.  
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written  
entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of  
derivative or collective works based on the Program.  
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program  
(or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does  
not bring the other work under the scope of this License.  
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in  
object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you  
also do one of the following:  
a. Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code,  
which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a  
medium customarily used for software interchange; or,  
b. Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third  
party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source  
distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source  
code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium  
customarily used for software interchange; or,  
c. Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute  
corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial  
distributionand only if you received the program in object code or executable form  
with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)  
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications  
to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all  
modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to  
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the  
source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either  
source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the  
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies  
the executable.  
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a  
designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same  
place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled  
to copy the source along with the object code.  
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly  
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute  
the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.  
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not  
have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.  
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However,  
nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative  
5
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by  
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your  
acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing  
or modifying the Program or works based on it.  
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient  
automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the  
Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions  
on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing  
compliance by third parties to this License.  
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any  
other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court  
order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not  
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy  
simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then  
as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license  
would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies  
directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License  
would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.  
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular  
circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is  
intended to apply in other circumstances.  
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property  
right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of  
protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by  
public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range  
of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that  
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software  
through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.  
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of  
the rest of this License.  
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by  
patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program  
under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those  
countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In  
such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.  
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General  
Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present  
version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.  
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version  
number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of  
following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by  
6
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this  
License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.  
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose  
distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software  
which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software  
Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two  
goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the  
sharing and reuse of software generally.  
NO WARRANTY  
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO  
WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE  
LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS  
AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY  
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,  
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A  
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND  
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE  
DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR  
CORRECTION.  
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN  
WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY  
MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE  
TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR  
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE  
PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING  
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR  
A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN  
IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF  
SUCH DAMAGES.  
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS  
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs  
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the  
public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can  
redistribute and change under these terms.  
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of  
each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should  
have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found; and one line  
to give the program's name and an idea of what it does.

GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version  
2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.  
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY  
WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this  
program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330,  
Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA.  
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.  
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an  
interactive mode:  
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author  
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is  
free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c'  
for details.  
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the  
General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other  
than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits  
your program.  
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to  
sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the  
names:  
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program `Gnomovision' (which  
makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary  
programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit  
linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU  
Library General Public License instead of this License.

Troubleshooting the IP Softphone 2050  
One-way audio  
If you experience problems with one-way only audio:  
Check that your system administrator has programmed the handsfree  
option on the communication server.  
Check that the mute button is disabled. If mute is enabled, the mute  
button on the Call Control window appears red.  
If your server uses a Network Address Translation (NAT) device,  
check for proper NAT configuration. One-way only audio problems  
can occur when incorrect NAT configuration causes the  
IP Softphone 2050 to attempt to connect to the wrong IP address.  
Broken or choppy speech  
Broken or choppy speech can occur due to any of the following:  
Low level of audio buffering  
Windows transition effects  
Other running applications  
Audio buffering  
Use the Audio dialog box to adjust the level of buffering between your  
audio hardware and the IP Softphone 2050. For details, see “Audio” on  
Use the audio Quality slider to increase or decrease the amount of delay.  
Less delay speeds up buffering, but reduces audio quality. Higher  
quality improves audio quality, but slows down buffering.  
When experiencing choppy or broken speech, move the Audio Quality  
slider toward Higher Quality.  
Windows transition effects  
The Windows operating system uses very high process and thread  
priorities when performing low-level Windows operations, such as  
minimizing and maximizing applications. This can cause brief breaks in  
the IP Softphone 2050 audio streams.  
121  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
Troubleshooting the IP Softphone 2050  
To reduce the severity of these breaks, turn off the Windows transition  
effects for menus and tool tips.  
To turn off the Windows transition effects:  
1. Select Start > Control Panel > Display.  
2. Select the Effects tab, (or, in Windows XP, the Effects button on the  
Appearance tab).  
3. Clear Use transition effects for menus and tool tips.  
Other applications  
Other applications running on your computer, especially CPU-intensive  
applications or applications that intercept or delay packets (such as  
firewalls), can cause broken audio.  
Multiple Ethernet interfaces on a single PC can sometimes conflict with  
each other. For example, the IP Softphone 2050 sometimes exhibits  
intermittent breaks in audio when using docked notebooks that have a  
Xircom RealPort Cardbus Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56 PC Card  
(PCMCIA) inserted. In the specific case of this PC card, the problem  
relates to a version of the Xircom driver. This driver takes CPU cycles  
even when it is not active and this, in turn, causes IP Softphone 2050  
audio to become choppy.  
Solutions for this example are:  
Upgrade your Xircom driver.  
Remove the PC card when the notebook is docked.  
To upgrade your Xircom driver:  
1. Download and install a new PC card driver from the Xircom web site.  
2. Follow the installation instructions provided by Xircom.  
Note: You require administrator privileges on Windows 2000.
