Where SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP Phones Fit

The phones connect physically to a standard office twisted-pair (IEEE 802.3)

10/100 megabytes per second Ethernet LAN and send and receive all data

using the same packet-based technology. Since the phone is a data terminal,

digitized audio being just another type of data from its perspective, the phone

is capable of vastly more than traditional business phones. AsSoundPoint IP /

SoundStation IP phones run the same protocols as your office personal

computer, many innovative applications can be developed without resorting

to specialized technology.
