The DPH-128MS IP Phone includes many features not found in analog phones as well as standard features that you are used to having. The One-touch Voice-activated Dialing feature allows users to reach anyone in the company directory or their Microsoft Outlook address book by simply saying their name. Users can also transfer, park, and retrieve calls the same way. Voicemail to e-mail forwarding is another convenient feature. You can also easily view incoming and outgoing phone calls made by using the Call History function. In addition, standard features such as Mute, Hold, Transfer, Speakerphone, and 3-Way Conference functions are included.
Easy To Install And Use
Because the entire VoiceCenter phone system is designed with simplicity in mind, you can set up a phone and user from start to finish in minutes. To minimize time and hassle with Ethernet cabling, the IP Phone provides a pass-through Ethernet port for connecting another device such as a computer to a network. Additionally, since the DPH-128MS supports PoE, it can be powered through the Ethernet cable if your network is connected to a PoE switch. This eliminates the need to use the included power adapter, frees up your power outlet for other devices, allows for installation in places where a traditional outlet is not available, and reduces cable clutter on your desk. Once the hardware connection is made, you can use the Phone Setup Wizard provided by the Microsoft Response Point software to assign extensions and names that only takes a couple of steps.
The D-Link DPH-128MS IP Phone, which is a part of the VoiceCenter phone system, is ideal for today’s productivity and efficiency-minded small to medium-sized business by providing state-of-the-art and standard telephony features that is easy to install and convenient to use.
Hold
A business feature where a call is temporarily held by the KSU or Server and the caller typically hears music or an announcement during this time. Hold is used while sending the caller to another extension, while setting up a conference call, or while answering another call or simply when looking up information.
IP (Internet Protocol)
A protocol that specifies the way data is broken into packets and the way those packets are addressed for transmission. Unlike traditional telephone lines which create a straight path from caller to recipient; IP uses the best available path at any given moment to move data packets between point A & point B. The beauty of IP is that the sending end and receiving end communicate success in sending and receiving to insure all data packets are delivered. A really great concept of IP is that of self healing. If a route is broken and the data packets cannot be delivered an alternate route is automatically selected.
Park
Similar to hold except the call is held by the Server or KSU and to retrieve the call you need to know the Park Number or have Park buttons on the phone. Typically used in a larger PBX system when a receptionist does not know where to find an individual, in this case the receptionist would Park and then Page the individual.
PoE (Power Over Ethernet)
Instead of being powered by a conventional AC plug-in type, the power comes through the ethernet cable connection. PoE reduces the amount of wires in an office. Data and power in a single cord.
Speakerphone
A phone that has a microphone and a speaker that allows you to talk to your caller without lifting the handset. This is best used in private offices and when multi party conferencing is required. Never use a speakerphone in a noisy environment.
Transfer
This business feature allows an employee to send a call to another phone without having to announce the call first. This is the typical means for moving a call through a PBX phone system.
Voicemail
The business feature that gives every employee a voice mailbox used to take messages while they are busy or away from their office. They typically also feature an Automated Attendant which answers acts as a receptionist to answer company calls and distribute them to the correct individual or department. Voicemail is an essential piece to a professional office, but must be managed to assure proper phone etiquette is maintained.
