IP Office is a highly modular IP telephone system
designed to meet the needs of home offices, standalone businesses, and
networked branch and head offices for small and medium enterprises. The
award-winning IP Office gives growing companies a complete solution for
telephony, messaging, networking, conferencing, customer management, and
unified communications.
IP Office is a versatile communications solution
that combines the reliability and ease of a traditional telephony system
with the applications and advantages of an IP telephony solution. This
converged communications solution can help businesses reduce costs,
increase productivity, and improve customer service.
At AVAYA®, our guiding principle is that customers
should be supported in migrating to IP telephony at their own pace,
following their own path. Our clients can use a mix of digital, analog,
and IP technology and still take advantage of all the applications that
convergence provides.
IP Office addresses basic telephony needs,
leverages built-in convergence capabilities, and capitalizes on robust
unified applications to deliver intelligent communications to your users
and customers. This small office IP phone system simplifies processes,
and streamlines the information exchange within systems to create simple
and effective communication experiences.
The IP Office phone system supports a wide range
of telephones, but the AVAYA® 5400 Series Digital phones and 5600 Series
IP phones have been specifically designed to work with IP Office and
provide small and medium enterprises with a choice of solutions to meet
business efficiency and customer service requirements.
The IP Office 500 solutions can be expanded
through the use of expansion modules.
AVAYA® IP Office delivers full voice functionality
with a comprehensive set of features. The IP Office system can be
configured as a voice-only PBX, using traditional circuit-switched
lines, or as an IP telephony server using high-speed ISDN/PRI dial-up
access and/or direct leased line connectivity and/or SIP trunks.
The IP Office 500 communication solution can scale
up to 384 telephones and 8 T1/E1 trunks.
IP Office 500
Supports 12 expansion modules providing a combination of up to
384 analog, digital, IP, and 3rd party SIP telephones, with capacity for
16 analog trunks or 8 digital trunks (192 T1/PRI channels or 240 E1
channels). Optionally, SIP trunks are also supported. As with the IP
Office 412, additional analog trunks can be achieved by using Expansion
Modules. Optional support for up to 128 voice compression channels is
available.
The AVAYA® IP Office system includes a robust set
of tools for administration (Manager), call tracking (SMDR), system
monitoring and diagnostics (System Status Application). The ability for
users to manage their own calls is supplied through a simple GUI (Phone
Manager). Phone Manager functionality can be enhanced through simple
licensing and to support IP softphones.
When needed, add additional applications,
including:
- Synchronizing voice mail messages in an email
inbox for easy message management
- Scheduling conferences
- Uploading documents for real-time viewing
- Managing audio privileges for conference calls
- Using agent reporting and wallboards for call
center environments
The Auto
Attendant application enables callers to route their calls to the
relevant department/person without the need to speak to an
operator/receptionist. Receptionists/operators can take advantage of the
SoftConsole GUI application to present a professional view of the
business to all callers. TAPI (Telephone Applications Programming
Interface) support enables IP Office to be linked to Microsoft Outlook
and other popular desktop applications for screen pops and PC-based
telephony management.
Investment protection is offered through handsets supported by several
AVAYA® platforms, and provides a migration path that is forward and
backwards compatible. IP Office supports IP and digital telephone
operation, with large display desktop phones with sophisticated
screen-driven feature access. Single button on/off control and menu
driven displays are available for selected features for ease of use.
