VoIP Phone for Communications Server 2007

Code-named Tanjay, this freestanding Voice over IP phone design for Communications Server 2007 looks and works like a typical high-end desktop phone. Tanjay phones offer the same basic voice calling, caller ID, call control, and voice-mail functions as standard telephones. In addition, a color display and a scroll wheel for navigation enable Tanjay phones to offer features beyond the standard telephone. For example, users can dial calls from a personal contact list, a corporate directory, or a list of voice mails (stored in an Exchange 2007 voice-mail system). Tanjay phones also support user presence: When a user is on a call using a Tanjay phone, the user’s presence status is automatically updated to “busy on a call,” and the user can manually change presence status (to “do not disturb,” for example) using the phone. Furthermore, when a user views a call log or other list on the device’s screen, each entry includes the associated person’s presence status (assuming they’ve elected to share presence information with others).
