Features

Smart automatic operator

This system monitors the calls that have taken place and, based on the caller's identification, is able to automatically connect the call to the line that was last connected to the caller. Thanks to this function, it is possible to, for example, fully use GSM gateways for outgoing and incoming calls. It is usually necessary to block caller identification for outgoing calls so that the called party does not attempt to call back the GSM gateway number in the event of a missed call. Otherwise, the person handling incoming calls from GSM gateways would not know who the caller was trying to call and to whom to transfer the call. When using a smart automatic attendant, the call is automatically connected to the line that was last connected with the caller.

Hierarchical numbering plan

We place great emphasis on enabling our clients to easily set up and operate their systems. Therefore, all telephones, voice answering machines, conferences, state lines and other system components are classified in a tree structure that faithfully replicates the company's organizational structure. Each group can have certain parameters assigned to it (e.g., range of line numbers, filter for outgoing calls, etc.), thanks to which adding a new phone means only selecting the group and filling in the user name and phone type. This minimizes the time required to set up a new employee's line and completely eliminates the cost of a service technician. All other components of the system work with the tree structure, so it is easy to set up access to call billing by departments or companies that share a single PBX.

'Follow Me'

The Follow Me feature is especially suitable for WiFi IP phones and mobile phones with WiFi and SIP support. The system automatically detects the presence of a portable phone on the company premises. If the user is not logged in to his/her landline phone, incoming calls are routed to the user's mobile phone via the free WiFi network.

Backup trunk notification

In the event of a main trunk failure, it is possible to set a voice message that will be played to the caller as a warning of the unavailability of the main trunk. The user can thus decide whether the call is important and make it through a backup trunk, which, for example, does not provide the same capacity or as favorable a tariff as the main trunk.

User portal

Normal PBX users can access the individual components of the system via the web interface. This makes it easy for them to get an overview of past and missed calls and access voicemail messages and call accounting. Based on the permissions assigned by the system administrator, they can also set up call forwarding in case of absence or based on attendance status, including call forwarding to the public telephone network. The user portal is ready for integration with other company systems using server-side and remote plug-ins. Single-Sign-On functionality is supported for easy access.
