The details

• Full integration
  With an IVX system, just one compact cabinet does what other systems must add together multiple boxes to do. This makes installation and maintenance, just like using IVX itself, much simpler.
   
• Grows with your business or organization
  • Up to:
    • 126 call-processing ports.
    • 16 built-in voice mail ports.
    • 280-hour voice storage.
    • 28 fully functional analog ports.
  • VoIP-ready — Adding a Local Network Card and a 24-, 12- or three-channel Remote Network Card allows the capability of integrating voice calls with data traffic over an IP network. This gives you the ability to communicate with a remote office (see also the pages about Esi-Link and the Remote IP Feature Phone) while bypassing the traditional PSTN (public switched telephone network); this provides long-distance savings and greater flexibility.
  • ISDN/PRI-ready — Makes it possible to enjoy the system’s enhanced Caller ID features* even over a wideband connection.
  • 24 conference bridges, accessible from either digital or analog ports.
  • Six-level, 100-branch auto attendant.
     
• Digital Feature Phone
  • Fully digital 2B+D.
  • Stylish and compact, to fit any workspace.
  • Convenient four-position tilt mount; also wall-mountable.
  • Simple installation with one-pair, non-polarity-sensitive wiring.
  • “Ruggedized” design resists abuse and spills.
  • Big, easy-to-read display with as many as three high-contrast lines. Provides various combinations of the following, depending upon the system model and configuration, the ESI Feature Phone model and the current operation:
    — Date and time
    — Current line usage
    — Phone number dialed
    — Name of caller*
    — Elapsed time on current call
    — Remaining time on currently playing message or recorded call
    — ACD queue information

  • Works with IVX C-Class, IVX S-Class or IVX E-Class, simplifying migration.
  • High-quality speakerphone (48-Key and 24-Key Feature Phones) gives you hands-free ease for both talking and listening when it’s necessary. IVX audio is unusually sensitive for any speakerphone, much less for a phone in IVX’s price class.

You can set as many as two programmable feature keys to be Virtual Answer Keys. Each plays a recorded greeting telling the caller you know he/she is calling and, depending on programming and the prompt you record, can also give the caller an easy way to dial out to another extension where he/she can gain immediate assistance.
