than with many other devices.
The comprehensive implementation of the communication protocol SIP into the
media gateways of FEC permits the seamless integration of the Microsoft
Exchange Server 2007. By means of the wide range of functions offered by its
devices, Funkwerk Enterprise Communications GmbH, a company of Funkwerk
AG, primarily supports users in small- and medium-scale enterprises who want to
unify their IT and telecommunications infrastructure. With the funkwerk TR200,
FEC combines an ISDN PBX, a router for ISDN and DSL, a VoIP and VPN
gateway, and an access point in a single device.
By means of the comprehensive integration of the media gateways of Funkwerk
Enterprise Communications, users are enabled to control Outlook via voice
application. They can, thus, have their e-mails read out—for instance via a
mobile phone while they are on the move. By means of the Web-based
exchange service Outlook Web Access, they are able to check the receipt of
e-mails, have missed calls displayed, receive fax messages in the mail inbox, or
use Auto-Attendant. This function is an automatic answering system, which
causes the caller by means of an announcement to have himself or herself
connected with the right department or extension. Auto-Attendant supports direct
inward dialing (DID) and offers an authentication service for dialed numbers, as

well as automatic speech recognition (ASR). For all functions mentioned, it
makes no difference whether the calling person initiates the call from an analog,
ISDN or VoIP phone.
Small-scale enterprises with their own Microsoft Exchange Server 2007
implement this integration of the various services by means of the multifunctional
gateway funkwerk TR200. Small-scale subsidiaries are also able to access the
head office via a secure VPN Internet connection set up on a Microsoft
Exchange Server 2007 with the help of funkwerk TR200 and to use all available
services. If the number of users increases, a media gateway of the R Series
provides the integration with the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.
