What is the difference between IP PBX system and traditional
PBX?
|
|
The
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) is the traditional phone network.
Traditional PBX systems are analog whereas VOIP PBX systems are digital.
Digital systems have many advantages over analog, including the ability to
transport voice and data transmissions over the same line . VoIP uses a Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) over the same Internet path that you use to view web
pages. VoIP goes far beyond traditional PBX to offer a variety of IP-based
functionality, scalability and geographical coverage for increased business
flexibility at affordable costs.

What is Club PBX?
|
|
Club
pbx is communications company providing robust,
expandable and cost effective PBX solutions based on the Asterisk Telephony
Platform. It integrates voice over IP( VoIP) to pre-existing analog telephone
network with the benefits of IP technology. It is cost-effective,
low-maintenance, and flexible enough to handle all voice and data networking.
|
|
|
|
Asterisk Telephony? What is
this? |
|
Asterisk
is an open source telephony server that runs on Linux, BSD, and Windows &
MacOS X operating system. You can also call Asterisk as a complete PBX in
software. By using open source software and standards based hardware, the cost
to purchase and operate a business phone system reduces drastically. Asterisk
creates a PBX that rivals the features and functionality of traditional
telephony switches.
|
|
|
|
What is IP telephony? |
|
IP
Telephony or Internet Protocol Telephony is the transmission of voice signals
over the Internet, wide area network (WAN), or local area network (LAN). IP
Telephony uses voice-over-IP to break down voice transmissions into packets of
data and transmitting them across a network.
|
|
|
|
How does an IP phone save me
money?
|
|
Currently
your calls are routed through your local telephone company where you are
charged a rate based on the destination of the call. By routing your call
through the internet there are no costs per minute only the upfront hardware
charges.
|
|
|
|
What is Voice-over-IP? |
|
Voice-over-Internet-Protocol
or Voice-over-IP or VoIP allows one to send a voice transmission via a network
instead of the standard telephone infrastructure. Calls can be routed via the
Internet, wide area network (WAN), or local area network (LAN).
|
|
|
|
What do I get for $995.00? |
|
For
$995 you get two things: a one-server license of ClubPBX Standard Edition and a
brand new server with ClubPBX pre-installed and configured. The software
carries with it a license for unlimited extensions and comes standard with
many.
|
|
|
|
Do I need to change the
existing wiring? |
|
Your
existing wiring need not be touched. Our IP Phones come with built-in Ethernet
bridges which allow one Ethernet drop to work for both your PC and your IP
Phone.
|
|
|
|
Is it secure?
|
|
Our
communications servers are fully secured in the network, ensuring that only
authorized users and network servers can access the system.
|
|
|
|
Does it support multiple
offices? How many extensions can I have?
|
|
Yes
it does. No matter how many offices your company has, you can link your club
PBX Servers with our Branch Office Support feature and it's incredibly
inexpensive, thereby considerable savings on phone bills. One click of the
mouse and your branch offices will be dialing each other for free!
ClubPBX
allows you to create unlimited extensions on your system! Note, the heavier the
load on the server the more RAM the server needs. 256MB is fine for 1-5
extensions, and 512MB is recommended for more than 5 extensions.
|
|
|
|
Do I need to have an Internet
connection?
|
|
You
only need an Internet connection to make changes to your ClubPBX, because that
portion of the software is hosted on our servers. This means that your ClubPBX
will operate normally (route calls, voicemail, etc.) when your Internet is
down. Of course, if your Internet is down, you will not be able to use VoIP,
and your telecommuter extensions will not function. Club PBX recommends that
all our customers keep at least one PSTN line so that their main office stays
operational during Internet outages.
|
|
|
|
What is the warranty on
hardware? |
|
All
phones come with a one-year manufacturer's warranty. All servers come with
warranties as well.
|
|
|
|
Can I use my own server? |
|
No.
All Club PBX servers have our software's loaded and tested thoroughly. Although
ClubPBX is based on Asterisk, numerous hardware and software options in the
market would make the product unreliable if we depart from our carefully tested
blueprint.
|
|
|
|
Does ClubPBX come with phones? |
|
ClubPBX
does not come with phones, they are priced separately. However, you must
purchase the phone from us so we can configure it and insure that it works with
your ClubPBX. Customers can choose from the list of compatible phones on the
Club PBX website.
|
|
|
|
Do I need to discard analog
phones?
|
|
No.
ClubPBX is designed to expand to accommodate the use of analog phones. However
you will need to order an Analog Phone Card.
Each Analog Phone Card can hold up
to 4 Analog Phones Ports.
|
|
|
|
Can I connect my existing phone
lines to ClubPBX? |
|
Yes,
you can with the appropriate expansion cards. ClubPBX is designed to expand to
accommodate the use of PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). To use PSTN,
you will need to order a Base Expansion Card and as many Analog Line Ports as
you want PSTN-lines on that card. Each Base Expansion Card can hold up to 4
ports. If you want to connect to a T1/PRI line, you will need to order a T1
interface card from Club PBX.

|
|
Can I use a Softphone?
|
|
Yes.
Club PBX offers a ClubPBX Softphone bundled with a Plantronics headset for the
best possible softphone experience.
|
|
|
|
What are my bandwidth
requirements for VoIP? |
|
While
evaluating your service, we will determine the correct bandwidth required for
your number of employees and locations. The system will be provisioned and
installed to ensure voice quality and the number of users and/or data being
transmitted won't have an effect on voice quality.
VoIP
calls require 90Kb for the first and 64Kb (up and down) for each additional
concurrent call. Most ordinary small office routers are capable of handling 5
simultaneous calls.
