The PC switchboard Aastra 1560 combines the most important desk­ top items: a PC and a telephone. ­Calls can be taken, made or forwarded via the PC or any of the Aastra 400 system phones. This provides switch­ board operators direct access to a wide range of information as well as flexible and very easy call manage­ ment. Forwarding Each staff member has the capability to set up their own call forwarding func­ tions and to activate/deactivate them by pressing a button. This way, calls are forwarded to the personal voicemail box when they are attending a meet­ ing, and to a colleague or representative when they are on leave. Different forwarding rules can be defined. Calls from a selected call numbergroup can, for instance, be for­ warded to a specific staff member. It may also be indicated that calls to a spe­ cific call number should be forwarded to the mobile phone even during meet­ ings. In addition, calls can be forwarded directly to a voicemail box. Presence Indicator Knowing before dialling a number whether the called colleague is at their workstation or attending a meeting is an advantage. With Aastra 400 presence indicator solutions, all subscribers can view the current availability status of colleagues. The presence indicator can also be inte­ grated into PC applications (e. g. Micro­ soft). This "exchange integration" en­ ables the calendar to be automatically synchronised with the presence indica­ tor. This means colleagues have access to the entire team's availability and accessibility status at all times - subject of course to individual access rights. The requested party's presence status is given during the name search. It does not matter whether the fixed phone, a cordless terminal, mobile phone or CTI application, such as Aastra Office Suite, is used (Computer Telephony Integra­ tion). If the called party is attending a meeting, the system even displays the time the meeting will end. Users of the Aastra Mobile Client are signalled as busy to their callers if they happen to be in a call on their mobile phone. The practical forwarding options of Aastra 400 products guarantee that no call remains unanswered. 8
