In Release 3 of the system software,
OpenCom 100 provides all the fea-
tures necessary for PBX networking.
You need PBX networking in the fol-
lowing cases:
■
To operate the OpenCom 100 as
a subsidiary system on another
PBX. This will also allow you to
use the OpenCom 100 as a DECT
server, for example.
■
To network the OpenCom 100
with an OpenCom 1000. In this
way you can use the
OpenCom 100 as a PBX for a
branch office, for instance.
■
To network several
OpenCom 100s into a PBX sys-
tem.
■
To use flexible configuration
possibilities of trunk lines for a
OpenCom 100.
All settings that affect the configura-
tion of PBX networking can be found
in the Configurator menu
PBX Configuration: Trunks and in
the PBX Configuration: System:
Settings dialogue under System
linking . Refer also refer to the corre-
sponding help topics in the
OpenCom 100 online help.
Note: If you do not need the fea-
tures of PBX networking, the simpli-
fied configuration is sufficient in most
cases. For this purpose, assign the
preconfigured trunk groups
Multi-
terminal access or System access to
the ports. The preconfigured route
called
External trunk now makes it
possible to seize an external line im-
mediately or by first dialling the pre-
fix “0”. You can rename the preconfig-
ured bundle and the preconfigured
route if required, but you cannot de-
lete them.
Connections
Networking two or more PBXs
means interconnecting them. The
OpenCom 100 allows you to use
both trunk lines and point-to-point
connections on external S
0
ports or
on the S
2M
port.
Example of a PBX network
Various line types and transmission
protocols can be used for point-to-
point connections. The required net-
work topology (distance, connec-
tion capacity) determines which
type of point-to-point connection is
most suitable.
