Okay so, what is the IP PBX system?

An IP PBX system is nothing but a phone system that operates over the Internet (or Internet Protocol, “IP”) as opposed to standard analog cellphone lines. IP PBXs normally cost much less than traditional cellphones and also deliver precise high-quality than them, plus they’re commonly capable of presenting advanced cellphone device features like mobility, call routing, call conferencing, and more. 

If you’re searching for a new business phone system, you must have come across the acronym  IP PBX, but we don’t think most of you know how it works! 

So to use the IP PABX system, an extra server is added to the main server which has your telephone number on it. That extra server is known as the PABX server.

From the PABX server, we register different call extensions which can be anything… your mobile phone, IP telephone, laptop, etc. 

You can actually have multiple devices on a single extension. You might have a mobile phone and a laptop on one extension and then for the different extensions you can also have multiple cellphones and desk phones. 

How does the IP PBX system work

So what happens is because we have a PABX server registered to the main server all the extensions registering to PABX also get connected to the main server. 

The PABX servers do all the distribution of calls when they come in and also when they go out.

You can program the PABX server just the same way that you do to a normal server and distribute these calls however you want to. You can also call every extension at the same time if you want.

PABX just doesn’t distribute the call around the office, but it also looks after the voice mail. In IP PBX your voicemails are recorded in an mp3 file or a WAV file. You can actually email an attachment and send it to whoever call goes through to.

An IP PBX eliminates the want for devoted cellphone lines and integrates voice and records networks into one. And, due to the fact calls are despatched over the Internet, they additionally limit expenses for nearby and global calls.
