ABOUT ARGENTBRANCH
Thank you for purchasing one of the new innovative ArgentBranch products.
The ArgentBranch product range is part of a new generation of networking systems. It is
designed to integrate both computer and telephony requirements for the small to medium
office. This is achieved by fully utilising:
The speed and comprehensive feature set offered by ISDN.
The facilities offered by Microsoft Windows95, Windows98, Windows 2000
and Microsoft Windows NT4.
The features provided by standard Caller Display telephones or Caller Display units.
All of the above features can be used with the ArgentBranch to provide a fully integrated
voice and data system with features otherwise only available on expensive call centre
systems.
The ArgentBranch will enhance your communications by bringing voice and data
integration to your desktop, provide you with a range of systems designed to make you
more effective and allow you to enjoy the fruits of your consequent success.

When the ArgentPhone module is deployed in conjunction with the ArgentBranch, the
ISDN connections can be used for conventional telephone, fax or modem connections in
addition to carrying data. The ArgentBranch provides a fully featured, integrated voice
PBX providing enhanced facilities, while requiring only standard and inexpensive
telephone handsets.
The ArgentBranch forwards Caller Display information to the telephone ports and
associated PC(s). This allows the number and name of the caller to be displayed on any
standard analogue phone supporting the Caller Display feature and/or on the PC screen.
