7 iview Operator Console (v2.0) Overview iview is an easy-to-use Operator Console for managing phone calls in your PBX directly from your desktop via Intuitive Voice Technology s Evolution PBX software. iview utilizes java architecture enabling it to run on multiple platforms (e.g., Windows, Linux, Mac) and can be added to any new or existing Evolution PBX installation. In addition, iview provides full support for SIP, IAX, and ZAP. iview provides a flexible interface that does not need to be tied to any one location. Any of your operators can see all the extensions within your organization and monitor the availability of your personnel from any location. This enables your operators to see all incoming calls, calls on hold and parked calls as well as the status of all users in your company allowing you to effectively and efficiently manage your resources via iview s intuitive drag and drop user interface.
