Bobs Tech Talk News and Reviews

One of the nice things about the Vertical Telephone systems is that they are a Hybrid type unit. What that means is that it can handle both analog phone lines as well as IP Trunk lines and that the handsets can be both local, digital direct and can use an IP handset as well. In a recent test setup that we did for me to have a phone presence on our system from my home office we programmed an IP phone to connect to our internal MBX system. Vertical’s Edge 8000 unit will work on MBX IP®, SBX IP® and XTS IP® telephony systems. Once set up this unit gives you all of the features that you have with a regular digital phone set, just not as many buttons. All of the keys on the side are programmable so you can set them up for line presence as well as many other features. Priced at $265 this unit will give you a great addition to your current Vertical environment.
