Avaya IP Softphones
Avaya IP Softphones operate on a PC equipped with Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT
and with TCP/IP connectivity to the Avaya IP600. Avaya IP600 used with Avaya
IP Softphones offers enhancements to information display, security, and
serviceability. For example, the administrator can obtain information about the Avaya
IP Softphone connection type and can list registered IP stations.
Release 2 introduces the improved audio quality via i-Clarity and a call-bar option for
the visual graphical user interface (phone picture is already available). A lightweight
directory access protocol (LDAP) client allows access to LDAP-compliant databases.
The Avaya IP Softphone Release 2 is CTI/TAPI compliant.
Multiple call appearances, conference, transfer, hold, mute, redial, and volume
control are provided by the Avaya IP Softphone. Access to DEFINITY station
features is standard. Multiple audio voice codecs are supported as well as
multilanguage.
ECLIPS supports the following four softphone applications: Road Warrior,
Telecommuter, CentreVu IP Agent, and Native H.323.
Road Warrior
Enables use of the full feature set from temporary remote locations anywhere in the
world. The road-warrior application consists of two software applications running on
a PC that is connected to the Avaya IP600 over an IP network. The single network
connection between the PC and Avaya IP600 carries two channels, one for the
signaling path and one for the voice path. On the Avaya IP600, the road-warrior
application requires the TN799C C-LAN circuit pack for signaling and the
TN2302AP IP Media Processor for voice processing.
Telecommuter
Enables telecommuters to use the full Avaya IP600 feature set from home. It consists
of a PC and a telephone with separate connections to Avaya IP600. The PC provides
the signaling path and the user interface for call control. A standard telephone
provides a high-quality voice path. The telecommuter application requires the
TN799C C-LAN circuit pack for signaling. The telecommuter application does not
use the TN2302AP IP Media Processor.
