that the end-user can customize to his/her exact requirements.
❑ Easy to use. ICX features are easily selected via on-screen menus, tool bars, and
programmable keys, without the need to consult a user guide.
❑ Online help. An easy-to-search help facility is available that describes all PC Phone features.
❑ Directory. An unlimited database of contacts that can be searched by name, address, etc.,
allowing easy dealing of internal or external calls.
❑ Caller ID. End-users can identify incoming callers by the number they’re calling from (if the CO
supports Caller ID functionality).
