Managing Your Contacts on Fanvil X5S IP Phone

Fanvil X5S is a network-connected business phone that packs a lot of technology into an incredibly cost-effective package: 16 SIP lines, HD audio, USB port, Gigabit Ethernet, and much more.

But the standout feature of X5S is a secondary display with 8 multi-purpose DSS keys.

You can set these keys for speed dialing numbers, viewing presence, using the phone as an intercom, triggering actions (e.g. hold), opening a URL, initiating a multicast call, and more.

The secondary display supports 5 total screens of DSS keys for a total of 40 additional keys. In other words, you get a built-in expansion module.
