Key Features and Benefits:
Mobility
Employing secure WDCT cordless technology, the Aastra 57i CT expands VoIP beyond
the desktop without the need for a separate wireless network. Increases flexibility and
efficiency for those not tied to a desk.
XML Browser
The Aastra 57i CT is equipped with XML browser capabilities and an extra large display
with dynamic softkeys to easily access customized services and applications. Create
internal service applications using development guides available from Aastra. This feature
provides unlimited potential to customize the 57i CT to meet your specific business needs
or vertical applications using the display and keypad.
Enhanced Call Management
With extensive storage capacity for personal directories, callers logs and redial lists and
12 programable keys, the Aastra 57i CT can improve efficiency by providing more call
information with the push of a button. Features such as shared call and bridged line
appearances, call forward, call transfer, call waiting, intercom and local 3-way conference
increase call flexibility and control.
Expandability
The Aastra 57i CT offers two different module extension options. It supports up to three
Aastra 536M modules, each offering 36 keys with LED indicators to create a feature rich
attendant console. Or, it will also support up to three of the advanced Aastra 560M
modules, each offering 60 keys with a screen based LCD display and LED system.
Remarkable Audio
All Aastra IP telephones offer full-duplex speakerphone with excellent voice clarity and
delivery. With years of experience in telecommunications and telephone design, Aastra
can ensure superior voice quality on every product we sell.
Simplified Deployment
From initial deployment and configuration to future enhancements and upgrades,
the Aastra family of IP telephones are designed to save your business time and money.
Dual auto-sensing switched Ethernet ports eliminate additional wiring and simplify
installations. Integrated IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet allows easy deployment with
centralized powering and backup. Easily created configuration files, using any text editor,
can be used to configure phones individually or centrally.
