For everyone who’s

‘always on the phone’.

Terminal units for optimum speech system support.

IP convergence platforms such as HiPath
3000 or 4000, or pure IP platforms such
as HiPath 5000, provide a host of highly
convenient features that are ideal for use
with optiPoint telephones. Those who
wish to make full use of internet protocol
for speech communication are also well
served by optiPoint 400. Here too, the
emphasis is on maximum convenience
and simple operation: IP-phones are sim­ply plugged into the LAN, the software
downloaded and you can make your first
call! Incidentally, these phones also
look great.

We supply optiPoint telephones in four
product groups, with the same user con­trols in each case:

• optiPoint 500

• optiPoint 600

• optiPoint 400

• optiPoint 400 SIP

These versions are equipped for use at a
wide variety of workplaces. There are also
adapters and performance-enhancing
accessories for optiPoint telephones.

optiGuide

optiPoint telephones come complete with
optiGuide. Using this convenient interactive
user guide, you can access all functions on
one display and just three navigation keys:
Yes, Continue and Return – the quickest way
to get where you want to be. Hold, confe­rence, call transfer to a colleague – all these
functions are so straightforward. One glance
at the display and optiGuide automatically
shows you the best alternatives at any given
moment. You simply confirm them and con­tinue. If you wish to take some other action,
just press “Continue” or “Return” to see fur­ther alternatives on the display, which can
be in one of several languages.

The choice of digital models that optiPoint
500 offers makes the decision easy:
entry, economy, basic, standard or
advance, each of them offering every­thing that a telephone in each of these
specific categories has to provide. The
standard and advance units, for instance,
have full duplex speech quality in the
hands-free mode, a USB interface for CTI
applications, every possible aid to effi­ciency and a modern, ergonomically
correct design.

optiPoint 500 entry.

You don’t make many calls, but you still
want to be part of the digital telephone
era? In that case, optiPoint entry is just
what you need.

optiPoint 500 economy.

You need even greater convenience? It
comes with optiPoint economy. This has
a clearly legible display and 12 function
keys, all of which can, of course, be used
reliably, thanks to optiGuide.

optiPoint 500 basic.

If you plan to use your telephone for data
communication as well as digital transmis­sion of spoken messages, the optiPoint500
basic is the ideal choice. You can, for exam­ple, use a USB interface for CTI applica­tions. Besides that, add-on modules and
adaptors are available.

optiPoint 500 standard.

You telephone more than most people and
expect the best possible performance?
Go for the optiPoint 500 standard and you
won’t be disappointed. Because it puts at
your disposal fully duplex hands-free sys­tem, which does justice to even the
highest expectations for voice quality.

optiPoint 500 advance.

You use the telephone very intensively and
expect smooth, efficient results every time?
The optiPoint 500 advance with its 19 func­tion keys is the version you should go for.
It’s of modular construction for the highest
communication requirements, with a back­lit display. You can connect a headset to it
and additional modules are available to
make it even more versatile.

Even higher performance.

Adapters are a cost-effective way of making
optiPoint system telephones perform even
better. Workpoints can be tailored indivi­dually to the tasks their users have to
perform.

for the highest standards.

TDM- and IP-based, with touchscreen display.

A genuine highlight.

The large display with graphic capability
acts as a touchscreen. To activate one of
the many highly convenient functions, you
simply place the pen against the appropriate
symbol. For instance, your personal note­book, which you can also use to memorize
numbers and dial them directly. Or you can
obtain call-relevant data from the web. If
you telephone frequently, you can connect
a headset so that your hands remain free.
All this in the very finest speech quality and
with all the performance features your
communication infrastructure provides.
You also benefit from the full variety of
information in the IP world.

Convergent networks call for a new
workpoint client quality standard.
Our optiPoint 600 is a system telephone
that allows you greater flexibility in your
work. Whether you telephone in voice­based system environments or in data
networks, optiPoint 600 supports both
methods.

With the optiPoint 400 IP phones, there are
no problems involved in using internet pro­tocol for voice communication on the LAN.
The optiPoint 400 standard/economy
supports various systems and can therefore
be operated in widelydiffering environ­ments. The optiPoint 400 standard/economy
SIP will be used by those whose IP infra­structure comes from an outside provider
and gives them the benefit of a high-perfor­mance IP phone. Both models have a big
advantage if you move offices: you simply
plug in, enter your number, password and
carry on using the phone as before.

the network at your disposal, for in­stance, Hicom or HiPath 3000, 4000 and

5000. The phones obtain their power
supply from the network and are just as
easy and convenient to use as all of the
optiPoint models. The software needed
to adapt them to the operating environ­ment is simply downloaded when neces­sary. A built-in mini-switch means that
any workpoint client equipped with an
optiPoint 400 standard phone can ex­change both data and speech along a
single line.

Versatile and convenient.

Open hardware and software architecture
makes these phones extremely versatile.
The low-priced entry-level optiPoint 400
economy can be operated in existing data
infrastructures without difficulty. New per­formance features can also be downloaded
and you can communicate directly and at a
high standard of quality with other IP-based
telephones and systems.

hone operations.

If you are a service provider offering
clients a high-performance infrastruc­ture, both you and your clients will find
the optiPoint 400 SIP an interesting
option. It makes telephoning so easy:
the client simply plugs in and makes
the call.

High performance in every area.

The optiPoint 400 SIP uses the Session Ini­tiation Protocol (SIP). In other words, the
internet connection is made whenever the
handset is lifted.

Operation is so simple and so convenient
with intuitive user guidance via display
and navigation keys. Programmable func­tion and name keys and many other
telephone features make the task easier
and more efficient. Call transfers, second
call signaling, telephone conferences,
hands-free use and a list of the last 20
unanswered calls are typically convincing
features. All this and excellent speech
quality, too. The optiPoint 400 economy SIP
is the low-cost entry-level model and the
optiPoint 400 standard SIP has an even
longer list of high-performance features.

The optiClient models:
High-performance software for

The advantages of HiPath convergence
architecture for the business user are
especially obvious in a mixed system
environment – for example, when tele­phoning from the PC. This is where the
optiClient 130 comes in to its own.

There’s no conventional telephone to
take up valuable space on your desk and
you have the same familiar user display
wherever you are, in the office, at the
PC, or mobile at the laptop. Virtual team­work is simplified too: with the optiClient
130 easyCom and the drag-and-drop fea­ture it’s a simple, intuitiv process to or­ganize conference calls with several par­ticipants.

Three convincing offers.

The optiClient 130, with its three alternative
phone, office and easyCom user displays,
combines the advantages of convenient
telephone use with those of the conver­gence principle of IP-based infrastructures.
With optiClient 130 phones, internal tele­phone services are accessed simply and
efficiently via the PC. The optiClient 130

office has a display for handling several
calls at once. Then there is optiClient 130
easyCom, which organizes every communi­cation requirement and makes use of all
media in an exceptionally convenient, time­saving way. All three user interfaces enhance
office efficiency and improve the service
that companies are able to offer their clients.

telephoning from the PC.

Adaptable to suit every demand.

16

Telephoning via the PC has many advan­tages, particularly when PC data has to
be input to user programs or access to

PC data is needed. However, it’s much
more practical to handle all this conve­niently via the PC.

optiClient 130 easyCom.

This combines a variety of media – speech,
data, e-mail and Internet – on a single
user-friendly interface. The user is located at
the center of this “communication circle”
and communicates with it by moving the
intended party from the address book
into the communication circle, by drag­and-drop with the mouse. Call-back or
switching from one conversation to an­other are possible in the same way. Other
forms of communication, such as sending
e-mails or internet/intranet access, are
integrated in this manner, leading to a
significant increase in the efficiency of
individual processes.

Telephoning while processing data.

Accessories.

Practical accessories make optiClient usage
even more convenient.

The optiPoint handset.

A useful alternative for undisturbed tele­phone use at the PC in the office: a con­ventional, convenient-to-use telephone
handset for connection to the PC via USB
interface.

The headset.

Those who work at the PC and also tele­phone customers frequently, need to
have their hands free. A headset is the
ideal answer.

• Low weight

• Very comfortable to wear

• High speech and reception quality

optiClient 130 office.

In addition to conventional telephone fea­tures, the optiClient 130 office user interface
permits you to log in as an ACD agent.

These additional functions speed up work
processes and make it easier to communi­cate with various kinds of media from the
PC.

In this case, the system telephone controls
are shown on the screen and clicked with

the procedure is just the same as using an
actual telephone.

standby and active calling capacity keep
them ready for immediate use. The Gigaset
4000 keeps company employees mobile,
but means that customers can reach them
anywhere on the premises. This avoids the
cost of returning calls and improves your
company’s service quality.

With its optiPoint telephones and optiClients,
HiPath has the workpoint clients that make
the convergence principle more adaptable
and more cost-effective. Every workpoint
client can be provided with the terminal
equipment needed to perform the work

most efficiently, throughout the company.
You can make use of all the advantages
of multimedia communication too, and
complex processes can be handled reliably
by fully electronic means.
