\n

\n
• Sends audio as higher priority packets so your regular data won’t mess up voice transmission.
\n

\n
• You can link directly to the VRS Call Recording System if you need to record calls.

Your Extensions

You’ll need SIP Standard VoIP support (RFC 2543 or RFC 3261) which must support symmetric UDP signaling and audio with reINVITEs. Most extensions are either VoIP phones, computer-based softphones, or hybrid setups that mix softphones with USB phones. Before buying any VoIP phones, we suggest trying out the Express Talk Softphone first!
