Unified Messaging, Chat and Presencefunctions
Integrated Fax-Server
The system offers you an integrated fax server. You can easily receive and send faxes. You can use the web interface of Phonalisa or have incoming faxes sent to you by email.
Jabber/XMPP Chat-Server
Phonalisa offers you a Instant Messenger server based on the widely used XMPP/Jabber protocol. You can also use the presence control via this service. There are countless Jabber clients on all platforms that are compatible with the system. Due to the open and expandable protocol Phonalisa is very future-proof.
Voice messages/voicemails simply by mail
You can easily have incoming voice messages sent to you by e-mail.
Presence function
Seeing who is available before trying to reach them saves an enormous amount of time. You can see who is currently available in the presence monitor on the WebUI, your CTI client or in any compatible XMPP/Jabber client.
UC Call diversion system
Redirect based on presence status
Redirection based on the presence status is one of the innovative Unified Communications functions. Call forwarding is activated automatically when your Instant Messenger (Jabber, iChat,…) indicates the status busy, offline or logged off. Calls are then forwarded to another internal extension, the AB or the mobile phone.
Redirect by contact type
Each contact in each address book can be assigned a contact type. Here you can choose one of the system default e.g. VIP, office, family, … or you enter one yourself. When editing the Call forwarding rule you can then select the contact type and from which address book it comes.
Forwarding using the external/internal call source
Do you only want to create call forwarding for external calls? It’s simple. Combine your Call forwarding rule with the Call forwarding filter “Call source – external”, you can still reach internal calls.
Time and date controlled redirection
This function allows you to set your call forwarding using one or more time profiles. For example, you can fill a time profile with the dates of the Christmas holidays and forward all incoming calls to an AB. Or you can use the time profiles to define your business hours, vacation times or all public holidays.
Forwarding based on phone status
The phone’s busy, disconnected, or you’re just not picking up? You can create an individual redirection for all these cases.
Different redirection destinations
In each Call Forwarding Rule you can define any destination. You can forward the calls to an AB with personal greeting, to an announcement or to a phone number. For the phone number you can use external numbers e.g. a mobile phone number or an internal number e.g. another extension, a voice menu, a group extension and much more.
Immediate diversion
If you need call forwarding quickly, you can set Immediate call forwarding. This allows you to immediately redirect to the AB, immediately to an announcement or immediately to a phone number (internal, external, queue, group,…).
Activation by telephone key
Call forwarding that you use frequently can also be switched on and off using the telephone key. To do this, you can either enter a shortcut key on the phone or you can put the call diversion on a busy lamp field (BLF) on your phone.
