Impression Overview

WE’VE MADE A LASTING IMPRESSION!

Your first glance at IMPRESSION tells you that this is a telephone designed for the digital age. Sleek, elegant, and attractive in high tech black or sophisticated platinum. Pick it up and you’ll feel the difference. IMPRESSION handsets have been specially crafted and molded to give you a better fit for easy handling.

The dialpad is itself a wonder of ergonomic design. Easy-touch feature buttons promote 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. To help reduce misdials, IMPRESSION dialpad buttons respond with a distinctive "click" when you press them. And the speakerphone, handset, group listening, and ringer volumes are all independently adjustable for your personal preferences.

For convenient line status monitoring, you can’t beat IMPRESSION’s unique, three-color LEDs. A green light gives you the go-ahead on your line. Red indicates that a line is already in use. And orange signals the first ringing incoming call, making it easy for even the busiest user, receptionist, or attendant to know which line to answer first.

Straightforward Functionality At Your Fingertips

Engineered for performance, flexibility, and ease of use, IMPRESSION telephones are as functional as they are stylish and comfortable. IMPRESSION LCD speakerphones feature a large, easy-to-read, 32-character display that makes it easy to choose from IMPRESSION’s extensive roster of features without having to enter complicated programming codes. Simply depress the soft programming keys to scroll through the menu that appears on the LCD screen and select the features you want at each individual station. It’s that simple.

When the phone is in use, the interactive LCD reminds the users of helpful features that save time and increase productivity. Users can see the ongoing cost of calls with Comdial’s continuously updated Call Cost Display, while built-in messaging lets you leave reminders and alarms. The display can even guide you through the process of setting up crystal-clear conference calls without having to refer to a manual. Surely that is a first when it comes to phone systems!

And because we offer a versatile family of telephones, you can choose the combination of Impression telephones that meet your application requirements exactly.

Features That Help You Manage Your Phone System

Comdial's IMPRESSION gives you a full array of analytic and management tools to help you get the most out of your telecommunications system. In addition to call costing, both 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 standard. And you can print reports to analyze individual stations or departments or to monitor peak versus non-peak hours.

To help you manage the big picture, IMPRESSION 224 features a Total Control PC attendant. It automatically tracks and monitors traffic throughout the entire system, taking the complications out of call processing and making messaging more accurate than ever before.

Bring the Power of Computer-Telephony Integration to Your Desktop

Impressive as they are, Comdial's IMPRESSION Systems may also be integrated with desktop computers. Computer-telephony integration (CTI) ads an unprecedented degree of control and flexibility, offering you the potential to integrate all your communications systems into one seamless whole. The result: impressive gains in productivity and efficiency, and improved customer satisfaction. And with an IMPRESSION System, your computers do not have to be networked to take advantage of CTI. Comdial's TAPI-compliant PC Interface Unit (PCIU) can be added to any IMPRESSION System, and provides an affordable, yet powerful, computer-telephony solution for small businesses.
