Aastra 1560/1560ip: The professional operator application

Using an Aastra 1560/1560ip offers many advantages for operators compared with conventional operator consoles: Call transfer using the mouse, indication of the internal users available, interactive queue for calls pending, quick and convenient dialling by name, simple handling of call lists, unlimited number of contacts, synchronization with a Microsoft Exchange server, direct access to contact databases, to mention but a few. At the same time you also have access to all the added features of Aastra system phones, with the high standard of quality you have come to expect.

Regardless of whether you use the softphone as an Aastra 1560 together with a Aastra 400 system phone or as an Aastra 1560ip with a PC media device via the IP network, you are certain to appreciate its outstanding versatility. You will undoubtedly appreciate the versatile features.

And of course the Aastra 1560/1560ip can also be used as a personal telephone.

Aastra 1560: The Aastra 1560 is a rich client application for PC operator consoles which, with its user-friendly interface, sets the standard for a versatile and modern operator workstation. It integrates ideally into the Office PC environment and considerably broadens the scope of functions of the coupled phones.

Aastra 1560ip: The Aastra 1560ip IP softphone is a fully fledged PC phone that is not coupled to a physical phone (hardphone). The media devices are installed on the PC.

Whether you use the Aastra 1560 or the Aastra 1560ip, the PC monitor tells you at a glance who is calling, who internally is busy or absent, and who has forwarded their phone. If there are several calls waiting, you can select the most important call directly. If users are busy, you can dial their substitution, leave a text message on the
