VoIP Multi-Branch Networking
Businesses with multiple branches can connect them together with TalkSwitch,
the most affordable PBX with VoIP networking for small business available on
the market today. TalkSwitch improves communications, productivity and
eliminates charges for branch-to-branch calls by using VoIP over broadband
Internet access. TalkSwitch creates its own private multi-branch voice network.
TalkSwitch provides its own built-in SIP Registrar/Proxy server, allowing it to
form its own multi-branch voice network. One location’s TalkSwitch is designated
as the Registrar/Proxy site, and other TalkSwitch sites operate as User Agents.
Each TalkSwitch site is assigned VoIP numbers on the network. From any branch
office location, dialling a VoIP network number gives direct access to other
office locations. TalkSwitch can also be networked with SIP-based voice gateways
for sites with only one or two telephones, or for connection to other equipment.
Suitable for up to 20 branch offices, or 256 VoIP network numbers, the offices
can be located almost anywhere in the world.
Requirements:
Each TalkSwitch must be configured with VoIP trunks. A broadband Internet connection
and router with a 10baseT LAN port is required at each site. Routers must support
Port Forwarding (a.k.a. Pin Holing). The use of routers with UPnP (Universal Plug
and Play) is recommended for ease of setup. A fixed IP Address for the Registrar
location is recommended; alternatively, a public DNS service can be used. Contact
your local dealer for: suitable Voice Gateways. Use of a VPN between offices may be
recommended in some situations (see local dealer for details), and some jurisdictions
may restrict the use of VoIP.
