Welcome to Aastra Thank you for choosing this Aastra product. Our product meets the strictest requirements with regard to quality and design. The following operating instructions will assist you in using your OpenVoice and answer most of the questions that may arise.
Voice programme, you need an appropriate licence. This user guide describes the OpenVoice programme as an optional component of the OpenCom 100 / Aastra 800. It is designed for users as well as system admin- istrators. The individual chapters contain background information and concrete operating instructions which will help you to work with the OpenVoice programme.
