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.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
A protocol for assigning dynamic IP address automatically to devices when they connect to the network. Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because the software keeps track of IP address rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task. This is particularly helpful for laptops or other "visiting" devices when they want to connect to the Internet. Multiple DHCP Hosts is a common problem to troubleshoot on your LAN. For instance if you have a LAN set up and running a DHCP Host and you add a Wi-Fi router solely for the purpose of wireless access, you've just set up a conflict because these devices by default have DHCP Host enabled.

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.

Server

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.
