Aastra AastraLink Pro 160 Product Benefits

    * Feature Rich IP PBX
      The AastraLink Pro delivers large PBX functionality to the small business environment.

PBX telephony features include: call forward, hold and hold alerts, call log, call transfer, 3 way conferencing, corporate and personal directory.
    * Simple Deployment
      By simply plugging the AastraLink Pro into an existing LAN (Local Area Network) it’s ready to start communicating without the need of an installation technician. The AastraLink Pro will auto discover and configure any new Aastra SIP phones connected to the system making the need for a service technician to perform moves, adds and changes a thing of the past.
