The 6x from Allworx is the perfect all IP system for a professional office or for any business that needs or wants the combination of remote phones or to save money with SIP trunking.

This is our most advanced phone system in terms of enterprise features sets and capabilities. We will install the 6x Server for you and then you take over the maintenance of the server with us backing you up. You experience real total cost of ownership savings over the life of the system. 

The 6x is a true key system replacement with its 12 and 24-button key telephones. If you are replacing an outdated TDM system, why change the way in which you handle your calls. With true key system line appearances, you employees will find the new phones to fell similar and will pick up calls on line buttons, place a call on hold, intercom and pick up calls just like on the old system. Virtually all other IP system requires PBX setup meaning park and page and transferring all calls.

IP (Internet Protocol)
A protocol that specifies the way data is broken into packets and the way those packets are addressed for transmission. Unlike traditional telephone lines which create a straight path from caller to recipient; IP uses the best available path at any given moment to move data packets between point A & point B. The beauty of IP is that the sending end and receiving end communicate success in sending and receiving to insure all data packets are delivered. A really great concept of IP is that of self healing. If a route is broken and the data packets cannot be delivered an alternate route is automatically selected.

Page
This business feature allows an employee, using the handset of their phone, to make an announcement or "page" the rest of the company via the speakers in inactive phones or via overhead speakers or via a combination of both. This is generally a one way conversation only. Page is typically used when you don't know exactly where to find someone.

Park
Similar to hold except the call is held by the Server or KSU and to retrieve the call you need to know the Park Number or have Park buttons on the phone. Typically used in a larger PBX system when a receptionist does not know where to find an individual, in this case the receptionist would Park and then Page the individual.

Server
The central processor in a network. In our case the server supports the telephony functions in a VoIP network. It manages the connections between the phone lines and the telephones, voicemail, etc.

SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)
Internationally recognized IP telephony signaling protocol used for VoIP. This is the most widely used protocol in the market and is a standard meaning anybody who builds a SIP 2.0 compliant product should work with any other SIP 2.0 compliant device. For instance our xBlue SIP module is compliant so any off the shelf SIP phone will work as an endpoint for a home phone or a remote worker. The trick with SIP 2.0 is that the combined devices will work to the feature set of the lowest common denominator meaning a SIP 2.0 telephone only support 80% of the SIP feature set then even though the telephone system supports a higher set of features, you will only have the base features of the phone.

TDM (Time-Division Multiplexing)
A method of putting multiple data streams in a single signal by separating the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration. Each individual data stream is reassembled at the receiving end based on the timing. Traditional Key Systems and PBXs are built on this data architecture.
