= What is a 'Softphone' =

16

17

A **softphone** is a software-based phone that lets you make and receive phone calls using your computer, tablet, or smartphone (VIA our [[Noixa>>doc:Main.Noixa.WebHome]] app) instead of a physical desk phone. It connects to Axion systems over the internet and functions just like a traditional office phone.

18

19

With a softphone, users can place calls, answer calls, check voicemail, transfer calls, and use other features directly from an app or browser—whether they’re in the office or working remotely.

20

21

Softphones are ideal for remote work, mobile users, and anyone who wants the flexibility of using their extension without being tied to a physical phone.

== User ==

Thats you!

A **User** represents a real person who uses the phone system. A user is usually linked to one or more **extensions** and is what allows someone to log in and manage their own phone features (//if you have privileges to do so//).

35

36

Users are mainly used for:

37

38

* Logging into the Customer Portal

39

* Checking voicemail

40

* Managing call forwarding, call recordings, reports and other personal settings

41

* Being added to **User Groups** for easier management

42

43

Think of a User as the “profile” for a person, while the extension is the phone number they use.

44

45

A User **does not control call routing** by itself. It simply defines who the person is and what features they’re allowed to access.

== Privileges ==

In order to use the softphone you have to have a few things set up in the Customer Portal. First you will need a user account created and in order to do that we will need an email address to send the verification/account set up email to. Privileges needed in order to use the softphone are in the picture below.[[image:CP Main Privileges 11.png]]

== User groups ==

Are a way to put users (extensions) into simple groups so they’re easier to manage. Instead of setting options for each user one at a time, you can change settings for the group and everyone in that group gets the same access.

54

55

Think of User Groups like folders:

56

57

* Put similar users together (Sales, Support, Office Staff, etc.)

58

* Give the group access to certain features

59

* Remove or add users without redoing settings every time

60

61

User Groups are most commonly used to control:

62

63

* What users can see and do in the **Customer Portal**

64

* Basic **permissions and access levels**

65

66

User Groups **do not control how calls are routed**. They are only used for organizing users and managing access.
