Globalink works with industry standard SIP protocol IP phones. There are
three types: hard, soft and firm. Below is a brief description of each
as well as example of phones that Globalink has tested and found to work
with our system. Since Globalink does not dictate what type of IP phones
that you can use with our system, there are quite a few variations in
configuration and setup procedures.

Hard phones
are physical pieces of hardware that plug into your network
typically through an ethernet connection. They are the best type
to use as they have no dependency on a computer. This means that
they will work whether your computer is turned off or does not
exist at all. Also, it is very nice to use a regular handset
style phone instead of a microphone and computer speakers. One
potential disadvantage is that your home network needs to have
an unused ethernet port in which to plug the phone in.

| Soft phones are simply a piece of software that is loaded onto your computer and uses the computer's soundcard as a user interface. Most people start with a soft phone because of their low price (typically free) and availability (easily downloadable). The down side is that you do need a computer and it is often more difficult to use a microphone/headset than a traditional handset. |
 |
| Firm phones are a combination of a soft and hard phone. They are handsets that plug into your computer which utilize intelligent drivers running on the computer to communicate with the network. They are a good compromise, both inexpensive and the ease of use with a handset. Most of these phones use a simple USB connection to interface to the computer. The down side is that they do need software drivers and a computer to work. |
