What is insta-REACT? |
|
insta-REACT! is a SIP-based product
that integrates Presence, Instant
Message (IM), Multi-Party Audio
Conference, Push to Talk, recording, and
many more features on a single
interface, delivering instant
communications across an organization or
department within a campus environment.
|
|
What does the user need
to run insta-REACT? |
|
All the user needs is the insta-REACT! Client, a PC running Windows XP or Windows 2000, and a Microphone device
that supports full duplex communication.
|
|
How does insta-REACT!
work? |
|
insta-REACT! has 3 components; a server, a client, and a management system. The server is installed and the groups and users are managed using the management system. Each user is entered into the system and is assigned
to groups. When a user logs on, he or she is presented with the group(s) they have been assigned to.
|
|
For example: |
|
Joe Michael is a Trader working for a firm. He is a member of the Equity team. A group called Equity is created in insta-REACT! and Joe is added to the Equity group. When Joe logs on, he sees all his group members who's online (Presence), and can easily push the Talk button to speak to all the members who are online in his group. Joe sees one of his team leaders, Alex and wants to talk to him directly. All he has to do is push the Page button and it will create a one to one
private session with Alex. There is no need to dial a number.

everyone in the group but some people
are offline, can I record what I am
saying and send it to them? |
|
Yes! When you record what you want to say, you don't need to do anything!

any Talk button on the group's name.
