BUSINESS FEATURES
Voice Mail
Voice Mail messages can be recorded from your telephone set or uploaded via the GUI. You can retrieve your messages via your phone, voicemail to email or view them online. The online GUI lets you see in advance who called and from what number.
Auto Attendants - IVR
The Auto Attendant is an automated call director. You may upload your WAV file onto the system and press a sequence of buttons to record a message.
Ring Groups
Set your system to ring the receptionist, then another group of phones if the call goes on answered. You can include external numbers in the ring group to calls can be answered by staff using their Mobile Devices. If this fails, the call can be directed to Voice Mail or an Auto Attendant.
Call Queues
If you wish to have a central answering system take calls in sequence the call queue will handle that. You can set one or several phones to be part of the queue and give the callers detailed instructions while they wait.
Call Detail Records
Did you ever pause trying to find the number of someone who called a few days or weeks ago? Use the online Call History to search by day or month for a caller. You can search by extension or the complete business group
Dashboard
The Dashboard gives you a quick snapshot of your domain, the status of the devices on the domain and a quick means to access any device or service you have.
Status
The status will allow easy access to a view of active calls, Voice Mail Messages, device registrations and call history.
Conference Bridge
All business groups come with a conference bridge. You can give inside and outside access to the bridge via either a direct number or an extension thru your Auto Attendant. Multiple Conference Bridges may be configured.
Block Unwanted Numbers
On a system-wide basis, you may block users from calling your business. The call is redirected to a message indicating the line is not receiving incoming calls.
Upload Files
From the main menu, you can select Upload Files, then upload the WAV files you will use on your system. You can then select them to be used for Voice Mail or the Auto Attendant or Music on Hold.
Music / Ad on Hold
The system comes with a selection of canned messages and music streams you can select from. Using Upload FIles, customer messages and Ad on Hold can be added and used as required.
Block Unwanted Numbers
On a system-wide basis, you may block users from calling your business. The call is redirected to a message indicating the line is not receiving incoming calls.
Paging
Paging in Voice over IP is generally referred to as multicast paging. Buttons on the phones can be provisioned to page a specific group of phones or all phones. Phones can appear in as many as 10 groups on the system. You can also add an external paging adapter for large areas.
Dial By Name Directory
The Dial by Name Directory feature gives calls the ability to dial either the first name or last name of the person they would like to reach. The system will announce who they are calling if the name has been recorded.
Extension Status (BLFs)
Multi-Button IP Phones have the ability to display the status of other extensions on your system. While many companies do not promote this feature, Voice2Net sees it as a big advantage since a user can be in a completely different location, it lets you quickly see if they are on the phone or not.
Multiple Locations
One of the largest advantages of Voice over IP is the ability to build a single system to accommodate users in multiple locations. There is no limit on the number of locations you can have. A secretary in Ottawa as an example can answer phone calls for the Toronto Office, the Montreal office and the Vancouver office, thereby saving in staff and increasing efficiency.
Follow Me
Each user can set up the system to follow them as they move around. The ideal scenario, first they call your office, then your office and your home office, then your office, your home office and your cell, if none of these answers, forward the call to a central answering station or to a Voice Mail system.
Night Answer Schedules
Auto Attendants and Hunt/Ring groups can be set up to ring on a specific destination during the day, then switch to an alternate destination, such as Voice Mail, Auto Attendants or Mobile phones after hours.
Since there is no limit on the amount of Hunt Groups or Auto Attendants you can have, you can chain several of these together to build an extensive routing system based on time of day.
Stream Music On Hold
If your hold music is available via a live Icecast stream, voice2net can connect to this for you. Saves download files periodically. You can even stream authorized radio stations that support Icecast.
Call forward buttons.
On Multi Button phones, you can program a button to call forward to your cell phone. When you leave the office, press the button and calls will go to your cell phone. When you return, press the button again to remove call forwarding. The button will turn green to let you know call forwarding is active.
Call Park and Park Pickup
A standard Legacy telephone system feature is the ability to place a line on hold and pick the call up at another location. Voice2Net's systems allow you to place a call on hold/park by pressing a single button, then retrieve this call from another location by pressing the button with the same label. No need to remember codes or dial codes to pass calls around the office making the transition to Hosted VoIP less challenging.
