Gigaset DX600A ISDN: A
new dimension for ISDN at home and in the office
Gigaset
Communications is presenting its Gigaset DX600A ISDN and a new range of
possibilities for ISDN telephony. With its elegant design and innovative
functions, this new desktop phone is the perfect answer to the growing
needs of the self-employed, home workers and private users. The high-quality
ISDN phone is distinguished by a large color display for a constant
overview, professional contact management, three configurable answering
machines and an array of interfaces – from Bluetooth and DECT to an
Ethernet port for connection to a PC and an a/b interface for a fax
machine. The DX600A ISDN can be used as a separate ISDN system or
connected to a router or a telephone system. It is the first Gigaset ISDN
telephone to enable the use of online services such as online phone books.
Pleasant working climate
The working climate plays a key role in motivation, and the Gigaset DX600A
ISDN has an elegant and classy look. Clarity and ease of use are
emphasized: The intuitive menu is shown on a 8.9 centimeter (3.5 inch) TFT
color display, which can also be used as a digital picture frame with a
slideshow function if images are uploaded to the phone. Users can find
their way through the menu quickly and easily thanks to a 5-way navigation
key. Excellent voice transmission, internally in full broadband quality (with
HDSP-capable handsets), and the full-duplex handsfree feature ensure
outstanding sound quality for private and business calls. Great importance
was also attached to enabling attractive ringtones: five monophonic und 16
polyphonic sounds come with the phone, and custom ringtones can be loaded
using the free QuickSync software.
Professional contact management
Users have all their contacts at hand thanks to the integrated phonebook,
which has space for up to 750 addresses with the last name, first name,
three phone numbers, an e-mail address and birthday for each entry. The
contacts can also be assigned a photo so that a face can be put to the
caller (Picture CLIP). Addresses can be synchronized with a PC or Mac
using the Gigaset QuickSync software, while vCards can be exchanged with a
mobile phone via Bluetooth. If the phone is connected to a PC by its
Ethernet port, it also offers direct dialing via CTI (Computer Telephony
Integration), from Microsoft Outlook, for example. Connection to the
Internet extends the possibilities even further with the addition of
access to online directories and yellow pages and the ability to perform
backward searches for a number shown on the display to find the name and
address of the caller. There are six freely programmable function keys to
enable quick access to frequently used functions or phone numbers.
Greater flexibility at work
The Gigaset DX600A ISDN meets all connectivity needs with its various
interfaces. Up to six cordless handsets can be registered, and there is an
analog connection for a fax machine. Two Bluetooth connections, which can
be used in parallel, enable integration of Bluetooth headsets, mobile
phones or PCs. The “Link2mobile” function, which will be available as a
free software update as of mid-2010, will expand the mobile phone
functions. Calls to the mobile phone or outgoing calls via the mobile
network can then be made from the DECT handsets while the mobile phone is
in its charging cradle or at a place where there is good network reception.
If the phone is connected to the Internet via the Ethernet port, it can
display additional online services, for example RSS feeds, weather
forecasts or an eBay observer. Software updates can also be downloaded via
the Internet connection.
Professional telephony
The Gigaset DX600A ISDN can be operated either as an ISDN system connected
to the ISDN main line or in combination with an ISDN/VoIP router or a
telephone system via a connection to the internal S0 bus. Professional
phone management is ensured by convenient ISDN functions such as
assignment of up to 10 MSN numbers, 2 simultaneous calls, broker’s calls,
conference calls, call forwarding, call on hold and much more. The last 30
calls the user has missed are displayed along with their CLIP information.
Three answering machines that can record a total of up to 55 minutes of
messages can be split over three phone numbers and configured. Individual
announcements and message texts for each answering machines and automatic
switching between message and answering machine function by means of a
timer are possible.
Designed with sustainability in mind
Gigaset Communications makes its products in Germany in compliance with
high quality and environmental standards. It uses efficient production
methods and recyclable materials and ensures that its devices consume
little energy and are low-radiation. The Gigaset DX600A ISDN has been
equipped with cutting-edge ECO DECT technology. That means that if
compatible cordless Gigaset handsets are registered, users can phone in
ECO mode with 80 percent less transmitting power. If the phone is not in
use, the device transmits no signal at all.
The Gigaset DX600A ISDN will be available in stores in May in the color
titanium at a price of 179.99 euros. The system can be complemented
ideally with the Gigaset C59H, E49H, S79H, SL78H and SL400H handsets. The
range can be increased with a Gigaset repeater if needed.
