1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

The IP PBX Administration Guide provides instructions for administering the IP PBX system. IP

PBX is an embedded call-processing server communicating with client stations with Session

Initiation Protocol (SIP). It migrates the telephony network and the data network of a small-to-

medium business (SMB) company into a manageable converged network. IP PBX works with

various IP phones (desktop, WiFi, Bluetooth, and DECT), voice-over-IP (VoIP) gateways, and

analog telephone adapters to route calls among client phones, analog phones, and PSTN network.

Additional voice features such as conferencing, auto attendant, and voicemail are seamlessly

enabled to all phones. IP PBX also provides Internet access to all LAN devices through Network

Address Translation (NAT).

IP PBX provides call control and media relay services to SIP clients and applications. It performs

the following primary functions:

• SIP Registrar

• SIP Outbound Proxy with media relay

• SIP Gateway (FXO)

• SIP PBX for extension calls

• Auto attendant IVR

• Voice mail IVR

• Meet-me conference

IP PBX has a built-in suite of voice applications for supplementary services and therefore no

special-purpose hardware is required. This means the total cost of ownership of a converged

network enabled by IP PBX is lower than building separated infrastructures for legacy telephony

network and data network. Besides, it comes with a web-browsable interface to the data network

configuration and voice service provisioning, which brings the manageability of both networks

together to facilitate administration locally or remotely.
