With E7000 there are no bulky racks to build, simply install the E7000 server software then plug in the endpoint devices and appliances. All E7000 appliances are auto discovered by the server to facilitate fast and easy system set up.

Easy Graphical User Interface (GUI)

Administrators, educators, and support staff are going to love E7000! Users interface with the system either through E7000 VoIP Admin or Staff phones, or via a browser-based GUI (Fig.1) on PCs, smart phones and tablets, allowing users to access the system any time of day no matter where they are in the connected world.

The core principle of E7000’s user interface is simplicity. Its functions and design are shaped by the needs of the user to reduce distractions and improve operator response time and accuracy. Form follows function, resulting in an interface that is functional, intuitive, and aesthetically pleasing.

The system’s GUI allows people with a broad spectrum of technical proficiencies and experience levels to use the system. Large and clear buttons, along with simple and clear text makes E7000 easy to use even on touch screen and mobile devices. Embedded tooltips and guides aid in user self-sufficiency. Technical administrators can assign individual users permissions appropriate to their role and proficiency.
