About this guide
This User Guide provides information about the Nortel Mobile Voice
Client (MVC) 2050.
The Nortel Mobile Voice Client (MVC) 2050 is designed to add wireless
voice communication to the Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).

Nortel Mobile Voice Client 2050 overview

Nortel Mobile Voice Client 2050
overview
Designed to work with your personal digital assistant (PDA) and IP-based
telephone systems, the Nortel Mobile Voice Client (MVC) 2050 provides
real-time voice service over the Internet.
The MVC 2050 supports the following features:
• 6 programmable line/feature keys
• 4 soft keys (self-labeled)
• 12-button dialpad
• multifield display
• end user-selectable skins
• directory capabilities including Personal Directory, Redial List, and
Callers List
To make a call from your PDA using the MVC 2050, you can dial with
your dialpad, use a macro, or copy and paste a number from another
application. You also can use one of the methods on your PDA System
Input Panel.
If you are using Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ 2003 Second Edition or
Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ 5.0 for Pocket PC as your operating
system, the MVC 2050 can also coexist with a secure Virtual Private
Network (VPN) client for connection to a business network.

Nortel Mobile Voice Client 2050 overview

Software dependencies
The following are the MVC 2050 primary software dependencies:
• Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC
• Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC
• Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition for Pocket PC
Note: Windows Mobile 2003 SE AKU1 is not supported (Version
4.21.1088 (Build 14132)). AKU1 has a bug which makes it impossible
for third parties to use Settings applets. This is resolved with WM2003
SE AKU2 (Version 4.21.1088 (Build 14260.2.0.5)).
• GIPS NetEQ (included with the MVC 2050 software)
• VPN client (for secure access to a network)
For secure (VPN) access to a network, a VPN client is required.
Supported PDAs
The PDA industry evolves at a rapid pace. Refer to Nortel's web site
(www.nortel.com/mvc2050) to determine the latest PDA models tested
and any known issues.
Alternatively, follow the links on www.nortel.com to > Products > Phones,
Clients, and Accessories > IP Phones and Clients > Mobile Voice Client
2050 > Technical Specifications.
For Nortel Technical Support use this link: http://www.nortel.com/support.
PDA processor models, speed, and amount of memory vary. To maintain
audio quality, do not overload the processor with intensive tasks while
using the MVC 2050. For example, Nortel does not recommend using
your PDA Internet browser while using the MVC 2050.
MVC 2050 requires that PDAs meet the following mimimum technical
specifications:
• screen resolution of 240x320

Nortel Mobile Voice Client 2050 overview
10
• CPU speed of 624 MHz
•64MBRAM
PDA vendors offer two types of rechargeable battery: standard and
extended-life. The extended-life battery is recommended to provide
longer call duration and increased call volume.
Headsets
A headset is required in order to send and receive telephone calls using
the MVC 2050 and your PDA. The headset is an important part of audio
quality.
PDAs that support stereo headphones with microphones are
recommended.
The Dell specific headset with a button on the wire, when used with the
X51v, allows the MVC 2050 to answer an incoming call or release an
active call by pressing the button.
Note: Bluetooth and 802.11b operate on the same frequency band
and use the same WLAN hardware on the PDA. Therefore, the use of
Bluetooth accessories with MVC 2050 can lead to poor call quality.
Contact your PDA vendor to obtain headset recommendations.
For more information about Automatic Gain Control, see “MVC 2050
configuration” on page 17.

MVC 2050 menus and screen features
The MVC 2050 software provides menus and screen features for your
PDA. Table 1 lists the MVC 2050 menus and their selections.

4. Select Remove Programs. A list of programs appears.
5. Select Mobile Voice Client 2050.
6. Select Remove. A dialog box appears, asking you to confirm this
decision.
7. Select Yes. A brief pause occurs while the PDA removes MVC 2050.
After the pause, a dialog box appears asking if you want to perform a
soft reset.
8. Select Yes. Your PDA restarts.

Enable ClearType
The MVC 2050 uses a special screen font, which requires that
ClearType® be enabled on your PDA.
To enable ClearType:
1. From the PDA’s Main Application screen, select Start.
2. Select Settings.
3. Select Screen.
4. Select Enable Clear Type.
Automatic Gain Control
Since the MVC 2050 requires a headset to operate properly, disabling
Automatic Gain Control is sometimes necessary to attain optimum audio
quality.
Note: When the PDA is used in handsfree mode, without a headset,
the PDA microphone picks up sounds from the speaker, creating a
feedback loop. Automatic Gain Control is used in this instance to
avoid feedback. For further information about device hardware
settings, see your PDA Help system.
To disable Automatic Gain Control:
1. Select Start.
2. Select Settings.
3. Select System.
4. Select one of the following, depending on the PDA you are using:
a. Audio
b. Advanced Sounds
c. Microphone
5. Select Automatic Gain Control.
