How the product is intended to work
The VoIP telephone has been designed to mimic the behaviour of a traditional, analogue
telephone, specifically based on the GAI-Tronics range of rugged telephones, to give
continuity where VoIP and analogue units are used in similar situations.
Accordingly, traditional telephone terminology is used throughout the manuals and
documentation, and many of the features are designed to mimic analogue telephone
behaviour.
A major difference between analogue telephones and VoIP is that, with analogue units, most
signalling and tones such as ringing, dial tone, busy tone etc., are provided by a telephone
exchange (PABX), whereas the VoIP unit must generate these itself. The telephone provides
features to change the various tones to emulate those of different countries or PABXs, to give
familiar operation in its intended location.
