Choose your headset in the drop-down list of sound input and output. The call signal should be the computers speaker so you can hear when it's ringing if you're not always wearing your headset.

If you have an issue with your computer changing sound unit it may be because the other is standard unit on the computer, check your standard units under settings -> sound. Standard unit changes sometimes if you pull the cable/usb unit out of your headset and connect it again.

To forward a call in progress, place the mouse cursor within the frame of the active call and drag the call using the mouse to the person you wish to connect to in the left-hand field, the contact list. Then release the button and the call connects automatically.

To announce the call before connecting, call the person you with to notify by clicking on the handset on the person’s contact card. The existing call is put on hold automatically. When you have made the notification drag the call that is on hold down to the active ”notified” call.

When someone calls on your landline number Dstny disconnects the call according to your settings in the PBX, by standard the PBX transfers the call to your softphone and your mobile at the same time. If your mobile is turned off, the call will go directly to voicemail for your mobile subscription. For Dstny the answer from your voicemail always looks the same if you should click on the green phone in your telephone to pick up. This happens so quickly that the call usually doesn't have time to call in your softphone before your voicemail answers.

Solution: If you want to turn your mobile off while being available in your softphone, we can change it so that it first calls on your softphone and then your mobile. You will then have time to answer your incoming calls before your voicemail picks up the call. See the chapter about "Voicemail" if you want to use a voicemail instead of a separate one on your mobile. Contact Dstny support and we will help you with the settings.

To reset only your password, you can open the link below that leads to a PDF and follow the steps.

You can also always consult with the person or persons who are the admin for your exchange. They can see your username in MyAdmin. They can not see your password but they can change it to another, for you.

Dstny Softphone is able to constantly recognize if you headset is plugged into the computer or not. If your computer goes into sleep mode because you haven't used it for a while, it's common for the USB headset to loose contact with the computer. The computer thinks the headset isn't connected and the Softphone won't get contact with your headset.

Solution: Change your energy settings on your computer.

For Windows you change the settings under control panel -> Energy alternative -> Change computer settings for energy saving and activate the screen saver for energy saving mode.

For MAC you can do this with "Apple" -> System preferences -> Energy saver -> Enery adapter -> Make sure to check "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off".

If you want the computer to be in energy saving mode you can easily do it by reconnecting your headset to the computer when it has started (By pulling out and plugging in the cable/UBS-unit to your headset again).
