External Application Server
The Graphical External Application Server (GXAS) is a plugin for the IP
Softphone 2050 that enables you to launch and interact with applications
that are available on a GXAS server from within the IP Softphone 2050
application.
After selecting an application, you can interact with the application in a
separate session window as though it was running locally on your own
machine.
The GXAS plugin is automatically installed with the IP Softphone 2050
application.
Configuring the GXAS plugin
Before the GXAS plugin can be used, the GXAS server must be specified
in the Settings menu. For more information, see “Server” on page 82.
Starting the GXAS plugin

button or by selecting View > Graphical External Application Server.
The available applications are shown in the GXAS Applications window.
If a default GXAS application has been previously selected, click the
Expand to PC button once to launch the default application in the session
window.
Selecting a GXAS application
To launch an application, you can double-click the appropriate icon in the
GXAS Applications window or select an application icon by highlighting it
