Tomorrow’s Telephone
Technology Today

3Com® Networked Telephony Solutions merge
telephony with networking by delivering business telephone service over a data
network. To the telephone user, the NBX
Business Telephone or NBX Basic Telephone
is a typical office telephone but this award-winning 3Com® NBX® V3000
communications system delivers robust call-processing features and a suite of
telephony applications over your local and wide area network (LAN and WAN). The 3Com system is designed for small to
midsize businesses and branch offices
with up to 1,500 devices per phone system.
NBX systems support the standard features, such as call park,
conference, speed dial, and paging.
Additional built in features include:
voice mail, automated attendant, hunt/call groups, call detail
reporting, computer telephony integration (CTI), PC-based visual voice mail/e-mail clients (IMAP4), and more. IP-based solutions are increasingly being
used as alternatives to the public switched
telephone network (PSTN).
IP-based solutions are a
cheaper alternative to traditional
telephone options and, currently, many back-office aspects of IP telephony such
as billing, charging and roaming are not subject to local or government
regulations.
Messaging Features:
NBX Voice Messaging is a standard feature of the
3Com Networked Telephony Solution. Voice Messaging supports Off-Site
Notification, which alerts you if you receive new voice messages when you are
out of the office. Voice Messaging also
includes an IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) mail server that allows you
to retrieve voice mail message through any IMAP Compatible e-mail client.
Auto Attendant:
With the Auto Attendant, a full-featured call
answering service, you set up automated
call answering. This includes multiple Auto Attendants, each with
separate menu structures, to manage incoming calls.
Auto Discovery and Auto
Relocation:
When you connect a new telephone the system discovers
it and adds it to the configuration database. The communication between devices means that
if telephone users move their telephone to a new location, the telephones
retain their extension number and personal settings. You do not have to
change telephone addresses and data for them.
