Features
The Aastra 800 communications system is a PC software for voice communication 
via VoIP. Using VoIP (“Voice over Internet Protocol”), telephony connections can be 
conducted via intranet and internet data lines. VoIP offers new applications and in 
many cases represents a distinct cost advantage. 
The Aastra 800 communications system is installed and run under the Windows 
operating system. The software combination can be operated using standard PC 
hardware. After set-up, the Aastra 800 communications system provides compre-
hensive communication and application possibilities which fulfill both usual as 
well as advanced expectations with regard to today's voice communication.
Due to the high performance of today's PC hardware, you do not need to pur-
chase, install and maintain specialized hardware systems for voice communication 
such as telephone systems (PABX) nor special telephone lines. You can also make 
full use of the usual features of such communications systems. Furthermore, you 
can use additional options such as VoIP networking with distant communications 
systems or the integration with program systems which integrate VoIP for voice 
communication.
The following communication applications are available: 
Telephony with VoIP system telephones, SIP system telephones, standard SIP 
telephones or software telephones
Telephony with DECT terminals or with DECT-GAP standard telephones via 
DECT over IP base stations 
External internet telephony and telephony connections on the conventional 
telephone network (PSTN) via SIP providers
The PC computer that the Aastra 800 communications system is installed on is 
usually integrated with the existing network (LAN). The configuration and pro-
gramming of the Aastra 800 communications system is done via a web browser 
(web console) that can be operated both from the same PC and from a PC hooked 
up via LAN. All telephony functions and the functions of the web console can be 
used at all workstation computers on the LAN network. VoIP integration and con-
nection to an existing e-mail system are available.
