Allowed and Denied Lists
This function avoids misuse of long distance and
international dialing to control telephone cost. A comprehensive
list of numbers can be included in the Allowed and Denied Lists.
However, it allows dialing of a few fixed numbers and restricts
dialing of other numbers in the same area. For example, an
extension can dial only 22-262-8573 but not any other number
starting with 22.
Alternate Number Dialing
Whenever redial or auto redial is used, the Vision dials
out the next alternative number instead of the same number that is
found engaged.
Auto Attendant
This feature allows the caller to directly reach an
extension without the help of an operator. The system has an
AutoAttendant that can play different messages like welcome
message, dial by name, dial extension, busy, no reply, wrong
number dialed, transferring to operator etc. These messages can be
recorded in a 4 minute voice module. It also allows the caller to
reach a desired extension by dialing the name of the extension
user.
Auto Redial - Multiple Numbers
This feature redials a busy number till it gets through.
The user is free to concentrate on his work while the system is
trying a busy number. The extension gets a ring and the number
connected to is displayed on the telephone when the call goes
through. Each user can submit up to 3 busy numbers for auto
redial.
Battery Charger
The system has an built-in battery charger circuit which
can be connected to a 12V, 7 AH battery. It allows a back-up time
up to 3 hours. In case of a power failure the system automatically
transfers to battery mode and vice versa.
Caller Line Identification (CLI - DTMF)
The function identifies the phone number of the caller
and displays it on the telephone. The CLI is displayed for both
internal and external caller. Even in case of a call being
transferred from one extension to another, the system informs both
the numbers. For functioning of CLI, the trunk line should support
DTMF CLI.
CLI Based ECF (External Call Forwarding)
The system offers the facility of forwarding selective
incoming calls to a desired external number. Selective call
forwarding is possible by defining a string of numbers. For
example, the system could be programmed such that all numbers with
a prefix 22 are forwarded to the residence number, however a
very important number 22-262-8573 is forwarded to the mobile.
CLI Based Routing
The system can be programmed such that particular numbers
land at a specified extensions directly without the assistance of
an operator, thus saving time and cost for the callers.
Door Phone Port
This port in the premium models, gives you an option of
connecting a 2 wire door phone. If you are not connecting a door
phone, you can use this port as a normal extension. Thus it
offers an additional extension.
External Music Port
This port can be used to play a desired piece of music to
the caller on hold. An external music source like a CD player or
FM radio can be connected to this port.
Inbound Call Analysis
Incoming calls can be stored in the memory with details like
caller number, trunk, extension, date and time of the call,
duration of the speech, etc. These calls can be analysed based on
multiple filters like caller number, extension, missed calls,
duration, etc.. Result of the analysis can be sent to a computer
through the communication (RS232C) port.
Internet Ready (e-port)
A special port is provided to connect modem to the Vision. This
port connects the modem directly to the trunk line eliminating
noise and hence improving data transfer speed. Further, this
e-port is an extra port leaving all regular extension ports for
voice calls.
Least Cost Routing
The system can be programmed to ensure least cost incurred for
each call by choosing specific trunk lines based on their
prevailing tariffs. This function has a great utility now with the
presence of multiple basic service providers offering different
tariffs for different destinations during different hours.
Live Call Supervision
A security feature. The supervisor can know the phone number with
whom an extension user is talking.
Scheduled Dialing
The system can be programmed to dial a number at
pre-specified time. This facility is of great utility and can be
used to lock long distance calls lines at fixed timings avoiding
misuse. If desired the Vision would lock the long distance or
international calling facility everyday after 6.00 PM. So that
there is no misuse Even if it has been left open by mistake.
Security Dialer
A highly effective security feature that dials 3
different numbers and plays a pre-recorded message in case of an
emergency. For example, it could dial the police station and play
an emergency message giving the address of the office. The Vision
can be connected to any emergency switch like movement detector,
smoke detector, magnetic contact, glass break sensor etc. The
system can also be used to activate a hooter in case of an
emergency.
