BT200
Within an enterprise environment, BT200 devices can be equipped with VoIP capability using
one of the following two options:
Configured as an IP phone connected to the enterprise’s existing IPPBX
Subscribed to an external VoIP service provider
Note that if the enterprise VoIP network is an isolated network which is not connected to the
public Internet (from where the Alexa for Business servers can be reached), or the VoIP service
provider voice network is isolated from the public Internet, then the BT200 devices’ network
interface can be configured using the dual-homed mode architecture.
BT200 VoIP Options
BT200 as an IP Phone to Existing IP PBX
The BT200 can be configured as an IP phone extension to an existing enterprise IP PBX,
utilizing the IP PBX’s calling capability to make incoming and outgoing calls. This will require
minimal enterprise voice configuration modifications, and instantly turn the environment into
a voice-enabled workplace.

BT200 with an External VoIP Subscription
An alternative to configuring the BT200 to be an IP phone connected to the existing
enterprise IPPBX is to add an external VoIP subscription to the BT200. In such a configuration,
the BT200 device acts as if a new phone line has been added to the enterprise.
