Pre-sale issues

1. Q: What is the difference between monochromatic IP Phone and colored LCD IP Phone?

A: Monochromatic IP Phone A1X, A2X, A4X, CT1X can support up to 8 calls, 5-way conference at the same time; Colored LCD IP Phone A48 and A68 can support up to 32 calls, 9-way conference at the same time, can be connected to colored LCD AET expansion module.

2. Q: How to distinguish between Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi phone?
A: From the appearance of the nameplate Wi-Fi phone with W and WAC, W supports 802.11g 2.4G band, WAC supports 802.11ac protocol 2.4G + 5G dual band. Wi-Fi settings can be detected from software, Wi-Fi can be configured on the first power-on of Wi-Fi phone.

3. Q: How to use the bridging function?

A: In the normal situation of the network, the LAN port of the phone connected to the network cable, another network cable connects the PC port of phone and the computer, computer and phone can be networked at the same time. This function can only be used under the network cable.

4. Q: Will Wi-Fi phones be unstable due to signal interference?

A: There will be more interference sources in the 2.4G band. In addition to the interference of the Wi-Fi channel itself, there are interference such as bluetooth, microwave ovens, and game controllers etc; 5G sources of interference will be less, the Wi-Fi channel itself has little interference. However, because of the small amount of voice data used, therefore, the impact on the voice call is relatively small when the interference occurs. If we deploy the phone and AP according to our company's deployment instructions of Wi-Fi phones, the stability will be better.

5. Q: How to choose the 2.4G and 5G band to deploy phones?

A: Compared with 2.4G, the advantage of 5G is that there are fewer interference sources, the disadvantage is that the signal decays very quickly, transmission distance not very far, so pure 5G band deployment costs will be higher, stability will be better; 2.4G deployment costs are lower, and the stability will be slightly worse than 5G. According to a large number of actual cases of use, in a single AP use environment, deploying 2.4G will be more flexible.
If we use our dual-band telephones while using dual-band AP, 5G band used in the place that’s closer to AP, 2.4G band used to far away from AP, you can get the best results.
