Installing 3CX VOIP client
What is the 3CX VOIP client?
The 3CX VOIP Client is a small Windows application that allows you to make and receive
calls via your desktop phone or using a headset connected directly to your computer.
You can see the extension numbers of other users and whether they are available to take
calls. Important is that you can use the 3CX VOIP client without having to use the head-
set - you can continue to use your desk based phone if you prefer.
The 3CX VOIP client ships with all editions of 3CX Phone System, including the Free
edition. However, in the Small Business, Pro and Enterprise editions, the 3CX VOIP client
allows you to see the presence of other users on the phone system. In the FREE edition,
