The VoIP phones benefit from FreePBX phone apps being available right on the phone, straight out of the box with no requirement for additional licenses. Users can control complicated features directly from their phones. There’s no need to remember feature codes. User applications include: Call Parking, Follow Me, Do Not Disturb, Conference Rooms, Call Forwarding, Time Conditions, Presence, Queues, Transfer to Voice Mail, Visual Voice Mail, and Log in/out.
VoIP telephones can traditionally be complicated to install, and manually configuring many different parameters and hundreds of extensions can take hours. However, with Sangoma IP phones, the redirection server automatically points the phone to the Sangoma FreePBX for configuration. Other vendors have redirection servers, but they have to be programmed with the details of the IP PBX. Only Sangoma can provide Zero Touch provisioning with FreePBX.
When using a Sangoma phone, EndPoint Manager software inside FreePBX is automatically enabled. This lets your users control global settings, program their phone keys, map extensions, upload images, download new firmware, and much more.
VoIP telephones can be complex to install, and manually configuring many different parameters and hundreds of extensions can take hours,” says Bill Wignall, President and CEO of Sangoma. “With Sangoma’s unique Zero Touch installation there is zero complexity as phones connect with Sangoma’s PBX solutions and can be used as soon as they are plugged into the network. This auto provisioning alone will save customers significant time and money.”
