The NetVision Telephone system administrator configures the NetVision Data Phones with IP subnet masks and router IP addresses.
The NetVision Telephone Administrator organizes NetVision Data Phones into intercom groups. Phones in the same group receive intercom calls together, over the group channel. Any NetVision Data Phone on the system can initiate a call to any intercom group, but only those phones assigned to the group receive the call.
NetVision Telephones. The Kit also contains information and tools for designing a Web client application.
