7. Prerequisites The IP Desktop Softphone requires Microsoft .NET Framework v3.5 and Windows installer 3.1. For Windows 7, .NET Framework 3.5 with SP1 is shipped with it as one of OS component. This means, you have the.NET Framework 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1 plus a few post 3.5 SP1 bug fixes on Windows 7. They are OS components. .NET 3.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1 can be added or removed via the Programs and Features control panel.

Thus, we don't need to manually install them. For Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 is included as an OS component in their version of .NET Framework, but is not installed by default. The .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 can be added or removed via the Programs and Features control panel. For more information, please check: http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/03/14/mailbag-what-version-of-the-net-framework-is-included-in-what-version-of-the-os.aspx.

clicking on the button of the phone’s image.

Conditions of this programming are:

1. Only specific keys of the phone display can be assigned with shortcut keys.

2. All function keys can be assigned. But if any function key is used by a running application, then at the use of that function key, the other application gets precedence.

3. Other than function keys, alphabets can be used, in combination with Control key. Alphabet keys are not case sensitive.

4. You cannot assign shortcuts to any keys other than those specified above.

5. The assigned keys can be deleted, if desired.

b) Ctrl+H is given a blue background. It indicates that the mouse pointer is over Ctrl+H.


c) If the key over which you have clicked is already assigned with a shortcut, then you can delete it, by clicking on: Delete Shortcut.

d) Suppose, the key over which you have clicked is already assigned with a shortcut. If you intend to change that shortcut to another, then click on the new shortcut. The new shortcut would replace the old one.

7. To assign a shortcut, click on the desired shortcut from the list.

8. To check the shortcut assignment, move mouse pointer over it. It displays the shortcut, if assigned. In the below sample, the button F2 is assigned with the shortcut: Ctrl+A. On mouse over, it reveals the assignment
