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.
