Impact SCS Overview

The IMPACT of Fully Featured Digital Telephones

Designed with flair and engineered to perform, IMPACT telephones are as functional as they are stylish. And because we offer a versatile family of telephones, you can choose the combination of IMPACT telephones that meet your application requirements exactly.

Impact Phones are a Delight to Use

We specially designed and molded IMPACT handsets to give you a better fit and feel for easy handling. Easy-touch feature buttons promise a comfortable, smooth ride for your fingers. And because the dialpad is larger than normal, you won't have to squint to see which buttons to press. IMPACT dialpad buttons also respond with a distinctive "click" when you press them, significantly reducing misdials. And the speakerphone, handset, group listening, and ringer volumes are all independently adjustable for you personal convenience.

Bringing You the Precision and Control of Computer-Telephony Integration

Computer-telephony integration (CTI) is one of the fastest growing areas in communications. The number of computer-telephony applications is growing rapidly, offering the potential to integrate all your communications systems, from e-mail to voice mail, into one seamless whole.

Comdial was among the first telecommunications companies to commit to CTI standards and is a recognized leader in the deployment of computer-telephony solutions. Using CTI, you can see your voice mail, type a message and send it to a pager, use caller ID to trigger a real-time database screen pop, or simply use your PC to perform advanced telephony functions.

In the past, these advanced capabilities would have been too costly for small organizations, but not any more. Comdial’s IMPACT Systems incorporate the features that will bring the computer-telephony revolution to your desktop PC—today. And IMPACT can be readily equipped for use in Novell™, Microsoft™, and a host of other computer environments.

The Features People Are Talking About

Powerful IMPACT Systems have a full complement of standard, easy-to-use features for placing, answering, and controlling calls. For instance, you can easily accommodate crystal-clear multiparty conferencing, dial by name or SOHVA with just one touch of a button. Call costing (for displaying the ongoing cost of a call), call accounting (for tracking phone costs by station, department, and/or account number), and automatic routing (for automatically choosing the least expensive route for outgoing calls) are also standard on feature-rich IMPACT Systems. And, you can print reports, daily or as you need them, to analyze individual stations or departments or to monitor peak versus nonpeak hours.

You never know what the future will bring. That’s why our Comdial IMPACT Systems are designed to accommodate growth and expansion, while providing excellent line and station flexibility.
