Which device can be used as an endpoint in the IPO system?

In the context of the IPO (IP Office) system, endpoints are devices that can connect to the system, allowing users to make calls, send messages, or utilize other communication services. IP phones, analog phones, and softphones all fit this definition and are specifically designed for use with telephony systems.

IP phones are digital devices that connect directly to the IP network and offer advanced features like call forwarding and voicemail integration, while analog phones require an adapter to interface with digital systems. Softphones are software applications running on computers or mobile devices that enable users to make calls over the internet, essentially turning any compatible device into a phone.

On the other hand, wireless microphones, desktop computers, and tablets may not inherently provide telephony functionality directly within the IPO system. While desktop computers and tablets can run softphone applications, they are not considered traditional endpoints like IP phones and analog phones. Wireless microphones do not possess any communication capabilities required to function as endpoints in a telephony system. Thus, the correct answer focuses on devices specifically designed and utilized for communication within the IPO framework.
