Features
You can operate
IP cameras
in the Forum 5004/5008/5012
communications system. IP cameras can be used as door cameras in
conjunction with the entrance intercom systems (EIS) configured in the
communications system. These can be IP-based (SIP) EIS or analogue EIS. IP
cameras can also be used generally for monitoring rooms, parts of buildings or
outdoor areas.
You will find further information on this in the chapter on
DECT over IP
®
DECT networking via VoIP is another possible option for offices already
extensively using VoIP telephony. The Radio Fixed Parts (RFPs) are connected
via network data connections, so they do not occupy any U
pn
ports and can
use existing network connections. With DECTover IP, VoIP protocol data is
changed into DECT-compatible voice data direct on the RFPs. DECT-RFPs and
DECTover IP-RFP can be used together in combination in many cases; it is
however not possible to switch between RFPs using different technologies
during a call.
An e-mail function, which can use the POP3, APOP or IMAP4 protocols to
check for incoming mail, is integrated into the Forum 5004/5008/5012. Mail
account retrieval can be configured for each member of staff
when configuring Forum 5004/5008/5012.
Forum 5004/5008/5012 then fetches the headers (Subject) and sender
information from incoming e-mails from the mail servers at preset intervals
and forwards them to the user’s system terminal.
E-mail accounts for sending mail can also be configured for users. E-mails can
then, for example, be sent direct from the Forum CTI to other users. In
addition, users who have had a voicebox configured for themselves can be
notified by e-mail of new voicebox messages.
Forum 5004/5008/5012 records important events and errors in an internal
logbook, the error store. Entries in the logbook (system messages) can also be
sent by e-mail to inform or alert system administrators.
