    1. Introduction

    The PBX is a PBX with 4 lines and 12 extensions, which allows the user to set various

    settings to choose the way of residential or commercial service, choose the extensions

    attendants, the dial type, set up categories for extensions, among others. The PBX

    also offers services such as placing calls on hold, call transfer

    with and without consultation, lock, call pickup, do not disturb programming, re-call

    among others.

    The PBX has two software programs that accompany the product, a server and client software.

    These two software operating in tandem providing the user with facilities such as manipulating

    extensions and perform configurations and settings of the PBX through computers.1.1. Important terms used in this manual

    To have a better understanding of this manual, you should define some terms

    important.

    Line: is the medium used for communication between the public telephone network and

    PBX. Each line of the PBX can be connected to a line of public

    telephony. The line can make and receive calls, because it is a bidirectional channel, and is

    the line that makes the connection between a PBX extension and a telephone line network

    public to conduct outbound calls and when an incoming call is

    received.

    Internal Liaison: is the medium used to communicate between two extensions of the PBX and

    also for communication between Skype and an extension of the PBX. These two types ofcall can be made without using the public telephone network, so they are

    achieved through internal links.

    Incoming calls, are calls originating outside the PBX, which are the target

    telephone lines connected to it. Incoming calls are received

    through the lines.

    Outgoing calls: outgoing call is a call originated by one of

    extensions of the PBX, whose fate is no other extension of the PBX. Calls

    are carried out through the lines.

    Internal calls: internal call is a call originated at an extension of

    PABX, whose destination is another extension of the same PBX.

    Prefix: the prefix is the set of the first 4 digits dialed to make an

    outgoing call.

    Answering extension: the extension that receives an incoming links

    certain line, that is, the extension that will ring if there is a call

    incoming.

    PBX Server computer: the computer that is connected to the PBX

    through the serial interface. Will be installed on that computer and Skype software

    PBX server. The computer server of the PBX does not necessarily need to be

    the same as that used computer network server. In the manual

  • 8/4/2019 Introduction to Pabx

    5/26

    server computer will be handled by the PBX Server PBX.

    1.2. Knowing the PBX

    Instructions for opening the PBX

    The PBX must be on a surface

    horizontal stable (eg a table) or

    properly fixed to the wall.

    To open the PBX: Press the side

    right cover (the thicker region

    PABX). The cap is slightly deformed

    causing his left hand let go

    fitting.

    With the lid down, pick up a

    low end of its left side, then

    stop pressing. This will make the cover

    does not stick when you return to the dock

    original format.

    To finish removing the cover, just dropfitting on the right side pushing the cover

    right.

    5

    Instructions to close the PBX

    February 1

    To close the PBX: Secure the lid on

    fitting right. To do so, attach the

    lid on the PBX with a movement of

    right to left.

    With the right side cover attached

    the PBX, press lightly on the lidright side diagonally (down and

    left). Once the lid is slightly

    deformed and the left will be caught in

    plug the PBX.

    PBX without the cover

    Without the lid you can see, among

    other things:

    1 - The fittings that attach the lid to

    PBX.

    2 - The connectors will be used

    to install the PBX.

    To make connections of the PBX, the

    cables must be routed through the hole

    located at the bottom right of the PBX,

    according to the illustration above. If this

    is not done, the cables may be

    Damaged or prevent closing properly

    PABX.

    1.3. Knowing the Client software PBX

    To open the software window, you must click

    twice on the icon of the PBX located in bar

    Windows Task indicated in the figure.

    The window that appears on the screen is similar to the figure below:

    In this window you can see the extension to which is

    connected this

    computer and its current state.

    The name and status of other extensions.

    The condition of the lines.

    To close this window without shutting down the software PBX Client

    the user must click on in the upper right

    the window. This window closes automatically after a

    given time without being used.

    To turn off the PBX Client, the user must click on File-> Exit, as shown in the figure below.

    The user can also right-click the

    mouse over the icon bar PBX Client

    tasks and log out, as shown in the figure.7

    2. Installation

    2.1. Instructions for setting the PBX wall

    Figure 1

    Mark the wall where the screws should be. For that use the

    PBX holes shown in Figure 1. Drill the locations marked on the wall,

    place the pads and screws. To be able to hold the PBX

    about 1 inch of each screw should protrude as

    shown in Figure 2.

    To fix the PBX, you should put it in the wall through the screw holes inside

    shown in Figure 1 the way it is shown in Figure 3, and pull down the PBX (arrownumber 1 in Figure 4) so that the screws are slotted as shown by the arrows number

    2 and 3 in Figure 4.

    2.2. Instructions for installing the PBX

    Figure 5 provides a general idea of the connections needed for installation of the PBX. Soon

    Then we have a brief description of each connection shown in Figure 5 (1-17). The

    detailed description of the connections will be made in the sequence.

    9

    1234

    Lines The lines can be connected to public telephone network.

    5

    6

    7

    Modem

    One or more phone lines may be connected to a

    ADSL modem. This line can be used to access the

  • 8/4/2019 Introduction to Pabx

    7/26

    Internet and to make and receive calls. For this line

    filter must be connected to the modem, the output of the filter should be

    a line connected to the PBX and data output of the filter should

    be connected to the modem that is connected to a computer.

    8 Hub Home Hub is connected to the same computer where

    was connected to the ADSL modem.

    9 The Network Hub outputs must be connected to other

    Figure 5

    10

    computers on the LAN.

    10

    11

    12

    Audio

    Must be connected to an external music source.

    Must be connected to the audio interface of the PBX server

    13 Server Connection between the PBX and the server.

    The PBX 14 Ground and the source must be properly grounded.15 Source Connection between the PBX and the PBX source of energy.

    16 Taking the source must be plugged in only after the key 110/220V

    comply with the voltage.

    17 Extensions The extensions must be connected to telephones.

    18 Telephone / PC phones must NOT be physically connected to

    computers. This is a logical connection.

    Figures 6 and 7 show the exact location of some connections of the PBX shown in Figure 5.

    Figure 6

    11

    Figure 7

    Figure 8 shows more detailed connectors for three previous figures.Figure 8

    2.2.1. Connecting Lines

    The connection with the PBX telephone lines must be made through the connectors 1 through 4

    on

    Figures 5, 6 and 7. These connectors are represented by L1, L2, L3 and L4 in Figure 8, and

    connect each phone line with a line L1 to line 1, line 2 with L2, L3 with the line

    12

    3 and 4 with the line L4. If fewer than four phone lines available, the line is not

    used must be set to missing line, it will not be used for

    completion of outgoing calls nor receive incoming calls.

    To make the connection, the user must lift the inside of the connector, put the wire in

    connector and down the inside of the connector. The connector has an internal

    clamps, wire stripping is needed to make the connection. After connecting the

    wires, the user must connect the wires to a telephone line.

    Figure 9 shows the steps of connecting the wire with the connector, and Figure 10 shows a

    schematic

    connecting an external line in the PBX.

    Figure 9

    Figure 10

    2.2.2. Audio Connectors

    The audio interface is represented in the PBX

    Figure 11, this interface has the connectors 10,

    11 and 12 of Figures 5, 6 and 7. Each connector

    interace has a different color. Colors

    indicated in the figure are the colors of the interface

    audio of the PBX. The computer audio interface

    is quite similar to this, but probably

    the colors of the connectors are not the same or

    not in the same order.

    To perform correctly the audio connections

    PABX, it is necessary that the user identifies the

    function of interface connectors for audio

    server computer of the PBX. The user needs to identify the two connectors that will be

    used the microphone and speaker of the audio interface of the PBX server. The other connector

    Audio Interface server can not be used as a music source as the

    three connectors for an audio interface are connected to the same sound card. Because thissound card will be used for VoIP calls can not be used as a source of music

    outside.

    - The blue connector of the PBX must be connected to the speaker of the computer server of the

    PBX.

    - The green connector of the PBX must be connected to the server computer microphone

    PBX.

    - The pink jack of the PBX must be connected to an external music source, used to

    case of call waiting.

    2.2.3. Connection to the Server

    Communication with the server should be done through the serial connector of the PBX (13

    connectorfigures 5, 6 and 7). Figure 12 illustrates this connection.

    Figure 11

    14

    Figure 12

    2.2.4. Connecting the Power

    The connection of the PBX with the power source must be done by connecting the power

    connector 15 of

    Figures 6 and 7, and grounding the source and the PBX (connector 14 of Figures 6 and 7). A

    scheme

    how these connections are made is shown in Figure 13. The source has a switch that lets

    the user to select the voltage, if the line voltage is 127 volts, the key should be

    indicating 110, and if the voltage is 220 volts, the key should be indicating 220. Not

    must connect the power plug in before setting properly the 110/220 at the risk of

    damage the power and the PBX.

    15

    Figure 13

    To make the ground, the user must connect to a ground rod connector 14

    Figure 7 and the neutral power. This ground rod should be an element

    conductor buried in soil and can be found in homes of electrical or

  • 8/4/2019 Introduction to Pabx

    9/26

    construction. Grounding is necessary to drive the flow surplus for the land, if

    rays or on momentary voltage network.

    2.2.5. Connecting Branches

    The connection of the extension is made in the same way that the connection to external lines.

    Each

    connector must be connected to their phone extension, as indicated at 20 to extension

    figure below.

    16

    2.3. Instructions for installing the software PBX

    The user can install the server software on the server computer of the PBX PABX (which

    is connected to the PBX via the serial interface, as described in Section 2.2.3). After that, the

    user can install the PBX in each of the Client computers that are "connected" to

    extensions of the PBX. Only one computer can be connected to each extension.

    To install the server software of the PBX and the PBX Client the user must have privileges

    computer administrator. If the user does not have such privileges and try installing one of

    software, the installer displays an error screen. This screen is shown in Figure 14.

    Figure 14

    During the installation of server software and the Client P ABX ALL other programsshould be closed, otherwise there may be problems during the installation!

    Some programs are needed for the functioning of the PBX software. If the

    user does not have these programs on your computer, they will be installed during the

    process of installing software on the PBX.

    2.3.1. Installation of the PBX server software

    To use Skype in conjunction with the PBX, Skype must be installed before the

    PBX server software. Both must be installed on the server computer

    PBX.

    During the installation of server software PBX, Skype will show a window

    asking permission to be used by other software. The user must

    select the option that allows the program to useSkype.

    Figure 15 shows this window.

    17

    Figure 15

    The file server software installation of the PBX is SetupServer. To install

    the software the user must open the file and follow the installation steps. The

    sequence of windows installation is shown below.

    If the user does not have Skype, the installer displays a warning screen that eta

    shown in Figure 16.

    If the user does not have the program Internet Explorer 6, the installer will warn and

    3.6. Answering incoming calls

    Incoming calls are calls originating outside the PBX, whose fate are the lines

    connected to it. Calls can be answered two different ways

    depending on configuration. These forms are the way of customer service and how to

    residential care. Both will be explained below.

    3.6.1. Mode of customer service

    It is a way of setting attendance lines of the PBX where callsentrants are initially received by an extension with the specific function of

    operator. The extension configured in this way is called the first responder

    line. If the first responder does not answer the call after a number

    Configurable ring, it is forwarded to the second responder, in which

    should play again, returning, if necessary, for the first responder, and

    so on, until the fulfillment or waiver of the originator of the call.

    Example:

    Conditions:

    Mode of attendance of online shopping 3;

    * 1 attendant (operator) of the line extension 3 25;

    2 attendant (transfer) line extension 3 31;

    38

    Number of taps needed for the call is routed to the second

    Attendant 3;

    In this case, when an incoming call is received on line 3, the extension rings or 25

    will beep (busy) by the time equivalent of three rings (about 15

    seconds). After this interval, if the call has not been answered, it will be forwarded

    to extension 31, which will ring for 15 seconds, returning, if necessary, to extension

    25. This process happens repeatedly until the call is taken or the abandonment of

  • 8/4/2019 Introduction to Pabx

    17/26

    its originator.

    3.6.2. Way home

    The answer mode is typically used in residential homes, because

    has no extension with the specific function of the operator. When a

    incoming call is received, all extensions associated with online play

    simultaneously. If, when a call is received, an extension of

    attendants are busy, who is occupying hear beeps indicators

    incoming call. This occurs until the call is answered by anyone

    them, or until the caller gives up.

    Each line can be individually programmed mode

    commercial or residential care.

    Example:

    Conditions:

    Mode 2 line answering Residential;

    Extensions attendants line 2 26, 28, 30 and 31;

    Status extension 26 busy;

    In this case, when an incoming call is received on line 2, extensions 28, 30 and 31

    should play. The extension 26 will hear beeps until the call is answered or their originatorgive up. Unscheduled extensions as answering the line will not be signalized

    incoming call.

    3.6.5.2. Defining residential answering mode via software

    To set the answering

    commercial way, the user must

    be in programming mode and

    select the sub-menu "Line."

    The line must be configured

    be selected at the top

    the window. This line should be

    configured so as to residential.

    Selected fields below

    "Answering" indicate which

    handsets are configured as

    attendants, or in the case of

    an incoming call for that

    line, all extensions that were

    selected during this

    configuration will receive the

    call.Fields that are not

    selected branches indicate the

    they will not touch the case of a

    incoming call to that line.

    To save the changes made

    this sub-menu and return to

    settings menu, the user

    must click on the link "Yes, I wish

    implement these changes. "

    3.6.5.3. Factory settings in relation to answering the way home

    In the factory configuration, all extensions are enabled as attendantsresidential, for all lines configured as residential.

    3.6.6. Defining the number of rings before answering alternating extensions

    The number of rings before answering switching branches is the number of times the extension

    first of rings before answering the call is transferred to the extension of the second attendant

    automatically. It is also the number of times the extension rings before answering the second

    call back the extension of the first responder.

    The number of rings before answering the switch from 0 to 9 strokes. If equals 0,

    incoming call is not forwarded to the second responder, will continue playing in

    extension of first responder until it is met or there is withdrawal from the originator of

    call.

    3.6.5.3. Defining the number of rings through an extension

    To set the number of rings to switch the answering machine, the user must be in

    programming mode and enter # # 177N where N is the number of rings desired. The

    number of rings can vary from 0 to 9. If the option chosen is 0, there

    alternation of attendants.

    3.6.6.3. Factory set for the number of rings before switching branches

    Attendants

    In factory setting, the number of rings before the answering machine mode switch

    trade is equal to 9 rings.

    3.7. Routes call routing

    Routes are groupings of lines used for routing of outgoing calls

    performed by the PBX. A line can be in one or more routes, and a route can have a

    or more lines. A set of telephone prefixes can be associated with a route. Thus,when the PBX detects that the number dialed by the user appears in the table of prefixes

    44

    a route, then this call is routed through this route. That is to say that

    call is made using one line of the route.

    Example:

    Conditions:

    Line Route 1 0 A carrier;

    2:03 Line Route 2 B carrier;

    Line Route 4 4 line converter has a common cell line;

    Any connection to route phone is made by 4 and, consequently, the line 4;

    The DDD and IDD connections are made by Route 2, and lines 2 and 3, which are the sameoperator;

    The local calls, free services and paid services are made by one route, ie by

    Line 1;

    Table 5 shows the associations of lines and routes necessary to meet the conditions

    described above.

    3.7.1.2. Defining Routes through software

    To define the routes that have a particular line, select the sub-menu

    "Line" and the settings menu at the top, select the line that willconfigured. Under the item "Routes:" select the routes to which this line will

    belong.

    To save the changes made in this sub-menu and return to menu

    settings, the user must click on the link "Yes, I want to apply these changes."

    3.7.1.3. Factory set for routes

    In the factory settings of the PBX, some routes are already associated with the lines.

    Line 1 is associated with route 0, row 2 is associated routes 0 and 1, line 3

    is associated routes 0 and 2, and line 4 is associated with 0 and 3 routes.

    3.8. Categorization of extensions

    The categorization is a function that allows the PBX to give permission for extensions

    perform certain types of calls, depending on its configuration. To configure

    what kind of connection can be made by each extension is used the table of prefixes. And to

    whether the extension you are dialing may or may not make the kind of connection you want to

    do,

    table prefix is checked. If any extension is trying to make a connection that category

    it is inserted does not, he hears the reorder tone, which is very similar to the tone of

    busy. Thus, the user immediately find out if the connection you are trying to accomplish

    is allowed or not by the category in which it is inserted.

    Example:

  • 8/4/2019 Introduction to Pabx

    23/26

    Settings:

    The extensions included in the category 0 do any type of connection;

    The extensions included in category 1 do any type of connection, except DDI;

    The extensions included in category 2 are only for local calls and local phone;

    The extensions included in category 3 just make local calls;

    The extensions 22, 31 and 21 are placed in category 0;

    The extensions 26 and 30 are placed in category 1;

    The extensions are 20:25 under the category 2;

    The extensions 23, 29, 24, 27 and 28 are placed in category 3;

    Results:

    In such case, when the extensions 22, 31 and 21 are to implement any kind of connection, they

    can do it without any restriction, because they are included in the category 0;

    47

    The extensions 26 and 30 can do any type of connection, except for DDI. If these extensions

    attempting to DDI, the line will have an error tone, which is very similar to the dial tone

    busy. However, if you do any other type of connection, they carry

    normally;

    The extensions 20:25 can do any type of connection, except IDD, DDD and DDDcell, because the category in which they live do not allow these types of connection;

    The extensions 23, 29, 24, 27 and 28 can only make local calls. If they try to accomplish

    any other type of connection, the line will have an error tone;

    Table prefix and category that suits above settings:

    Prefix Category

    00 ****

    00 ** 00

    0 01 ***

    9 *** 2002

    settings, the user must click on the link "Yes, I want to apply these changes."

    3.8.1.3. Factory Settings for Class of Extensions

    In the factory settings of the PBX extensions are not categorized.

    3.9. Conducting outbound calls

    When an outgoing call is made, the PBX needs to make two decisions. First isnecessary to decide if the extension is allowed to make that call and, if the PBX

    need to decide which line will be used to make that call.

    To make these decisions, the PBX is based on two tables. The Category table is

    used to decide if the extension is allowed to make the call and the table of routes is

    used to decide which line is used.

    Both tables have two columns, the first column contains the prefixes and the second

    contains the class or course-related and that prefix.

    Prefix is the set of four digits, where * (asterisk) represents any number, eg

    *** 9 or 00 **.

    3.9.1. Decision Process

    The PBX compares the first 4 digits of the dialed number with the prefixes ofcategory table. We call number prefix all the four

    first digits of the number dialed. The category required to perform this

    call is related to prefix the category that most closely matches the prefix

    number. If the extension you are making the call has the largest category

    required category, the call is not performed.

    If the extension you are making the call is less than or equal to the category

    required category, the PBX passes to the second stage of the decision.

    At this stage the PBX compares the prefix of the dialed number with the prefixes table

    Route. The route to be used is related to the prefix that is most similar

    49

    with the number prefix. The PBX then uses a line associated with that route to

    make the call. If no line associated with that route is at rest,

    call can not be done.

    Example:

    PBX settings:

    - Branches 20, 25 and 29 to 00 category

    - Branches 23:31 category with 01
