Name matching: If the Caller ID is recognized in the local PC directory, the caller's name can be displayed. Up to 1000 entries are supported.
Simple incoming call scripting: Scripts can be displayed based on the Caller ID or the dialed number (DID/DDI) to remind users of a specific greeting or message to use.
Distinctive ringing: Allows the configuration of distinct ringing on a per caller basis. WAV sound files can be associated with incoming callers' numbers and then played through the PC speakers when a call is received from that number. This allows you to easily differentiate calls from important customers, clients, and unknown callers.
Compact mode minimizes the screen space required to run the Phone Manager Pro application. While in compact mode, a notification slider alerts new calls and allows the user to view the caller ID or associated caller's name and answer the call. Users can easily switch between standard and compact modes.
Agent Mode operation allows the user to perform contact center functionality without needing a specially designed contact center telephone, for example one with dedicated keys such as log on/off. Agent-mode users can set their phone to Busy or Wrap-Up and select which hunt group they are member of via simple button clicks. Access to this feature is controlled by the administrator via User Rights.
Account Codes tab: Users can easily activate Account codes (before or during the call) through the 'Account Codes' tab. This tags calls with an alphanumeric account code via a single-click. Note: Lite users can enter account codes but cannot view the Account Codes tab.
Queue monitoring allows the user to see the number of calls waiting in up to 2 queues. The Phone Manager Pro user does not need to be part of the hunt group(s) being monitored.
Door entry control allows the user to open or close the two external relays in the IP Office system. This can be used to activate an external system such as door-entry or security camera.
Call History: Phone Manager Pro provides separate tabs for Incoming, Outgoing, Missed and All Calls. Each call log tab will store the last 100 entries which can be sorted by date & time, caller ID and call duration if required.
