Introduction

Overview

IPX-1000 is a full function PBX system with extra built-in features like auto-attendant; voicemail, Void

(Internet Phone), and various network services. It provides a solid, uniform platform for both voice

communications as well as network communications. Built on state-of-the-art embedded technology,

IPX-1000 offers a seamlessly integrated solution for the telecommunication needs of modern times. Its

versatile and expandable design makes IPX-1000 an ideal choice for companies of small to medium

sizes.

PBX Functions

· IPX-1000 provides 6 analog ports to interface with 2 CO lines and 4 extension lines. Since all ports

are analog, no extra hardware is needed to connect analog devices.

· IPX-1000 allows the use of regular telephones instead of expensive digital telephones, resulting in

even more cost savings.

· IPX-1000 does not utilize the network for conventional telephony functions; therefore it adds no

load to the network and is not subject to network conditions/failures.

VoIP Functions

IPX-1000 provides two “H.323” IP phone resources as standard, VoIP functions are transparently

integrated with conventional telephony functions in the IPX-1000 design, and a uniform user interface is

provided for both conventional and VoIP functions.

Advanced Internet Functions

IPX-1000 provides advanced Internet service:

· DHCP server. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and

other devices upon request.

· PPPoE. The Internet (WAN port) connection supports PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), as well as

Direct Connection type services.

· Virtual DMZ. The DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) feature will allow un-restricted bi-directional traffic

passed through IPX, this will bring great convenience while configuring Internet applications

· Support VPN. Provides an easy-to-follow configuration interface to quickly setup the common VPN

deployment scenarios between each of the machines to minimize support requirements.
