Due to the popularity that the phone has gained over time, Fanvil<\/strong> decided to introduce X4U V2<\/strong>. Yes, we know that changing an already winning formula can be risky.

Since the X4U<\/strong> model hit the jackpot with customers, Fanvil<\/strong> only gave a minor facelift to the next version. Fanvil X4U V2<\/strong> is still as good as it has always been but now it is slightly improved. Keep reading to find what the key features and changes are.<\/p>\n\n\n

Key Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is equipped with 2.8-inch colour display, 2.4-inch colour side display, multiple programmable buttons, and an easy-to-use interface. Fanvil X4U V2<\/strong> can connect to EHS headset via EHS cable, highlights Wi-Fi connectivity \u2013 via Wi-Fi dongle, and can support Bluetooth via Bluetooth dongle.

Differences:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big difference is the conference organiser which used to support only 3-way conference calls for the first version of the phone. Fanvil X4U V2<\/strong> allows you to invite up to 5 people to join your call. This feature allows more team members to communicate and collaborate effectively, regardless of their location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main difference<\/strong> between Fanvil X4U<\/strong> and Fanvil X4U V2<\/strong> is that the V2 <\/strong>model can function as an SBC (Session Border Controller)<\/strong>. How is this possible? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s simple. All you need is the latest 3CX update (Version 6)<\/strong> and your trusty X4U V2 <\/strong>– no extra accessories required.
The X4U V2<\/strong> has the SBC<\/strong> software seamlessly integrated into its firmware, establishing its dominance as a force to be reckoned within the field of communication technology.

As it may already be clear – the second version operates with a brand-new chipset. Having a new chipset requires a different firmware than the X4U<\/strong> one. Therefore, you will need to select X4U V2<\/strong> when provisioning the phone to an extension on 3CX as shown on the image below.<\/p>\n\n\n
