IP Softphone

 

Bring Your Distributed Offices Closer Together with the Ease of IP

Panasonic is pleased to announce the release of IP Soft-phone. IP Soft-phone is a PC software addition to Panasonic’s IP PBX telephony product line that turns your PC into a system telephone. The IP Soft-phone can function as a primary desktop IP phone, supplementary phone or as a communications tool for the telecommuter.

 

IP Soft-phone functions on a PC that is connected on the same TCP/IP networkas the KXTDA 100/200/600, either by the local area network or a wide area network using a VPN connection. This soft-phone provides you with PBX connectivity and convenience wherever you have broadband access. IP Soft-phone is extremely easy to use; if you can use a KX-NT136, you can use IP Soft-phone. The GUI that appears on your PC screen actually looks and operates just like the KX-NT136. The major difference is, the telephone functions are controlled using the mouse and keyboard on the PC, for example: to make a call, click on the programmable CO Key (the display will show you the line you are connected to), then dial the call from the keyboard or click on the IP Softphone dial pad. 

 

The only other hardware that is required for the IP Soft-phone is a PC compatible headset or PC speakers and microphone. Using a PC headset will most likely provide the best quality and flexibility when traveling.The IP Soft-phone is actually a system telephone; supporting full PBX functionality, Toll Restriction, ARS, ICD Group settings, SMDR and Class of Service. The following will explain the system requirements and features of the IP

Soft-phone:
