Requirements
The following basic hardware specification is required to operate the
IP Softphone 3456:
• Intel Pentium III 1.3 GHz or equivalent
• Windows 2000/XP/Vista
•512MBRAM
• 50 MB hard disk space
• 16 Bit, full-duplex sound card
• IP connection
Depending on the configuration of your workstation or laptop, you may also
need to obtain a microphone and speakers, or a USB headset with
microphone. If it is your intention to use the softphone video call/conferencing
features, you will also need a webcam.
Online help
For detailed information about specific client features, see the help
documentation provided with IP Softphone 3456. To access help, in the
IP Softphone 3456, click Actions and then click Help.
Nortel preferred configurations
The following list contains preferred configurations for the Nortel IP Softphone
3456
• Disable the provisioning server on the phone. On the phone, navigate to
Preferences > Advanced > No login server available.
• Configure only the G711 and G729 voice codecs for the IP Softphone
3456.
• On client, Nortel recommends a fixed port range defined under Account
Settings > Topology > Port Range to set the port.
• Ensure the registration refresh time is set to five minutes. This keeps the
registration timer short enough to recover quickly in case of network
failure.
• To make the IP Softphone 3456 DTMF work with the Media Application
Server (MAS), ensure that SIP > Account > Topology > Enable ICE is not
selected.

Signing in
The IP Softphone 3456 should sign in to your SIP account automatically if your
account has been correctly configured. In some circumstances (depending on
how the system administrator has configured the softphone), you may be
asked to authenticate to a login server during application start up. If you are
unsure how to login, see your system administrator.
Screen layout
Before continuing, it would be worth spending some time on the interface
layout. Not all function buttons are visible when the phone is inactive - for
example, call transfer and hold options do not appear unless the phone is
engaged on a call. Other function buttons, such as the voicemail notification
button, only appear as follows:
• when configured to do so (see the system administrator).
• when you receive a message.
