NBX 100 Overview

The 3Com® NBX® 100 communications system integrates a robust call processing feature set with standards-based, Ethernet technology in a powerful business telephone system. It's ideal for small to medium-size businesses and remote offices of larger enterprises.

Unlike PC-based telephony platforms, the 3Com NBX 100 system is self-contained, LAN-based, and highly reliable. The system's call processing engine doubles as an application server. It delivers standard features that range from auto-attendant/voice mail to unified messaging and TAPI-enabled Computer Telephony Integration (CTI).

The call processor scales up to 12 auto-attendant voice messaging ports and 80 hours of storage via software upgrades. Cards are available to connect:

• up to four public switched telephone network (PSTN) lines with built-in Caller ID support

• a standard T1 circuit

• a standard E1 circuit

• other NBX business telephones, user PCs, or other 10BASE-T or 10BASE2 Ethernet devices

This cost-effective system supports up to 200 devices, and browser-based management eases administration

Features and Benefits

• Integrated, LAN-based architecture eliminates the need for dual LAN-voice cabling, frees users from the added complexity and instability of PC-based designs, and enhances system reliability

• A powerful call-processor card combines built-in auto-attendant/voice mail services with other built-in services such as hunt-group and calling-group capabilities, unified messaging, and CTI interfaces, giving smaller organizations advanced applications in an affordable package

• Distributed DSP intelligence in telephone sets and interface modules facilitates future modifications and additions to protocols, compression techniques, and QoS services

• The standard NBX® NetSet™ browser-based administration/training utility and telephone-set self-locating capabilities simplify administration and training and reduce costs of moves, adds, and changes

• A new analog terminal adapter and analog terminal card let organizations mix traditional analog phones, faxes, and bell- and alert-devices with their NBX business phones to further extend configuration flexibility

• Multilevel auto-attendant menuing and support for multiple simultaneous auto-attendants let users customize their auto-attendant functions to maximize system responsiveness to callers

• Compatibility with popular connectivity and QoS standards from PSTN, T1, E1, and H.323 to 802.1p and IP TOS gives users far-reaching configuration options
