Office Communicator Beta 3 and the "Catalina" Device
I got an email from our IT department informing me that Im on the Office Communications Server
Unified Communications telephony platform (try saying that 5 times in a row). I picked up my device and noticed two things, no RJ11 and no keypad! After plugging it in via USB and installing
Office Communicator Beta 3 I was ready to make calls. To make a call all I have to do and enter the number into communicator. I can also right click a contact and call them from within Communicator. The device has speakerphone functionality and the ability to plug in a headset. I was on a conference call in the morning to Redmond and the call quality was really good. Would I go back to my landline? nope.

Close up, have no idea why the light is red?
