Kerio Operator

FLEXIBLE DEPLOYMENT

Software. Hardware. Your Choice.

Kerio Operator is available as a bootable CD - ISO image or a VMWare Virtual Appliance (VMX and OVF) which are available on the Kerio Operator downloads page. Kerio Operator is also available as a hardware appliance. In either case, you won't need to worry about compatibility with an existing operating system. Kerio Operator comes with its own.

FOR THE USER:

Call Pickup:

<Call pickup allows users to answer a call that is ringing on someone else's phone. By simply dialing a special code, ("*8" by default) the user can accept any call that is ringing on a colleague's phone within a specified "zone" or "room". Defining zones or rooms in Kerio Operator is a simple configuration set by the administrator. For example two adjacent offices or an open cubicle area where other phones ringing can easily be heard, can form a single room in Kerio Operator.

Directed call pickup is similar to call pickup, but it's not limited to pre-defined zones or rooms. This works with any extension on the same Kerio Operator server, even across zones, as long as the user knows the extension number. For example, to answer a call ringing on extension 111, the user would dial "**111".

BLF support:

BLF stands for "Busy Lamp Field" and similarly to status indications in instant messaging clients like ICQ or Jabber, it informs about the status of other extensions. Thus, the user immediately knows whether a particular extension is available, busy or there is a call ringing. The status is indicated through set of LED lamps on phones which support BLF. BLF is useful particularly for receptionists. It is often used with call pickup to accept phone calls that ring on other extensions.

MyPhone:

You can now dial phone numbers directly from a web browser. Copy and paste a contact’s phone number into MyPhone and click dial. MyPhone will initiate the call and connect your desktop SIP phone with the other party - no dialing necessary! MyPhone also provides you with browser-based access to your own voicemail, call forwarding options, and call history.

Conference Calls:

Set up designated extensions and access rules for large or frequent conference calls through the web-based administration interface. Or just pick up your phone, round up a few colleagues, and create a conference call on the fly.

FOR THE ADMINISTRATOR:

SIP Phone Auto Provisioning:

Plug in a desktop SIP phone to your network and watch Kerio Operator detect it, configure it, and automatically assign it a new extension. Most popular models from Cisco, Linksys, Polycom and Snom are supported. Other SIP compatible phones can also be manually configured to connect with Kerio Operator.

Directory Support:

With support for Active and Open Directory, Kerio Operator can easily blend itself into your current network configuration, but you don't need a directory service to get up and running. Kerio Operator can also run on its own internal directory.

Web Based Administration:

Kerio Operator is configured completely through an easy-to-use web browser interface. From anywhere in the world, administrators can log in and manage users, extensions, call routing, conferences, call queues, auto attendant scripts, ring groups, voicemail settings, etc. You can also use the web-based interface to view reports on system health and detailed usage statistics.

Ring Groups:

This feature provides an easy way to send an inbound phone call to all extensions in a particular department, but the list of extensions in a ring group can be easily customised to include anyone. In the event that nobody is available to answer the call, the Ring Group can be configured with a “Fallback” extension and a time limit, so the caller is never left to hear unanswered ringing longer than you want them to.
