Version 3 Enhancements

Default Numbering Plan Changes

Some areas of the default numbering plan have changed in Version 3. Extension numbers begin at 301, not 300. Additionally, Ring Groups (now part of the new Department Group feature) begin at 601, not 600.

VoIP Extensions

VoIP extensions are now available. You can install IP extensions on-premise in a managed network or remotely in off-site and home offices. There are two types of DSX IP extensions available: the 34-Button Backlit Display IP Telephone with Full-Duplex Speakerphone and the 34-Button Backlit Super Display IP Telephone with Full-Duplex Speakerphone. These keysets are quick to set up and support common CODECs so you can easily balance voice quality with available bandwidth. In an installation without a PoE compliant router, each DSX IP Keyset uses a single, low-profile ethernet cable to the desktop connected to a compact, unobtrusive DSX IP Adaptor.

Additionally, DSX VoIP supports third party SIP extensions that meet the SIP VoIP RFC 3261 standard.

Line Scheduling with Skip Ahead

The Line Scheduling enhancement lets you quickly set up how you want the system to handle incoming calls. Line Scheduling is easy to understand and intuitive to set up, but has the power and flexibility to satisfy even complex call answering scenarios.

Skip Ahead, part of the new Line Scheduling feature, allows a user to press a key to skip ahead to the next schedule entry. This Skip Ahead key and allows the user to advance from the current schedule to the next schedule. Have to leave early for the day? Just press Skip Ahead to activate the evening schedule. Starting early? Press Skip Ahead to advance from your overnight schedule to the normal workday schedule.

Hot Dial Pad

Now you can place a call without first lifting the handset or pressing INTERCOM. With Hot Dial Pad enabled, easily place Intercom calls (without first pressing INTERCOM), quickly place outside calls (using Line Group Access and Direct Line Access), and even use the User Programmable Features.

Cascading Message Notification

When an extension user receives a new message in their mailbox, Cascading Message Notification will call them at up to five preset destinations to let them know a new voice mail message has arrived. A destination can be an outside number (such as a cell phone, pager, or home office) or a co-worker's extension. This new feature requires IntraMail Pro.

Find Me Follow Me

Find Me Follow Me helps a caller locate an extension user who is not at their desk. If their call is unanswered and is picked up by voice mail, the caller can try to locate them at up to three alternate Find Me Follow Me destinations. A destination can be an outside number (such as a cell phone or home office) or a co-worker's extension. Find Me Follow Me requires IntraMail Pro.
