Executives and Professionals
Most executives and professionals need advanced phones with full feature sets to handle multiple
calls themselves or enable assistants to monitor their extension. For this reason, people in this role
generally need multi-line phones with several programmable buttons to support features such as
shared call appearance and speed dial.
Roaming Workers
Employees whose jobs involve walking around rather than sitting at a desk need a cordless telephone
that they can carry with them so that they can receive calls wherever they roam at the work site. The
ShoreTel IP Phone 930D is a DECT cordless phone that meets these needs.
Workers who need the flexibility to work inside or outside the office can use the ShoreTel Mobility
applications integrated with a smartphone.
General Users
Typically, most general users are satisfied with a standard desk telephone that has speakerphone and
mute buttons and supports Caller ID and Message Waiting. ShoreTel IP phones are fully featured and
appropriate for most users. IP phones come with the ShoreTel features such as Directory and
Conference available on preprogrammed buttons.
Conference Rooms
Most conference rooms need a speakerphone that supports discussions including multiple people. In
addition, a phone in a conference room should offer single-button access to features such as
transferring and conferencing calls.
Lobby Phones
A cost-effective wall-mount, slim-line, or desk telephone is adequate for most lobby phones, hall
phones, and the like.
Teleworkers
Both analog and IP phones can be included in a ShoreTel system as remote phones. Analog phones
require use of the Extension Assignment, while IP phones are supported by setting an IP address
range through ShoreTel Director.
