- The interface of a soft phone is exactly the same as a real phone, and its functions are the same. Installing a softphone requires a lot of configuration. The configuration is different according to different brands and different models.
- Soft phones are also called IP phones, which carry voice transmission through the Internet Protocol (IP). Traditional international telephones are transmitted by analogy. Voices are first converted into signals, and sound is transmitted to the other party through copper cables. The Internet phone converts the sound into a data signal through a gateway, and compresses it into a packet, and then transmits it from the Internet. When the receiving end receives the packet, the gateway decompresses it and retransmits Into a voice for the other party to listen to. Internet telephony uses the TCP / IP protocol. Specialized software converts the caller's voice into digital signals (often compressed, which is also the key point of the quality of Internet telephony software), and then packaged into small data packets. The data packet freely finds the network free space and transmits the voice data to the other party. After the other party's specialized equipment or software receives the data packet, it performs the reverse process of converting the voice described above into a data packet. Technical processing is required to enable speech to be restored. Throughout the call, we do nt need to lease a dedicated line, but just use the Internet with pinpointing, which greatly saves the cost of the call.
