Phone Systems

Even with this small device that has an integrated router, it is already a telephone system. This is meant to manage the connections of telephone, fax, and answering machine, ensuring availability. However, in companies, other models are often used that meet the desire for a reasonable networking of all extensions. Since not every system is suitable for every business, the following guide can serve as a purchasing advisory.

The ideal environment for a telephone system

A telephone system is not only interesting for companies. It can also be used in private households if you need multiple lines. A conventional telephone connection usually provides you with only one line for telephony. With an ISDN connection, there are already two. However, with a telephone system, depending on the model, you can take advantage of additional connections, allowing you to conduct multiple calls in parallel and fax at the same time. The internet connection and the management of VoIP configurations can also be controlled via a PBX. Each system offers several ports depending on the equipment, where you can operate devices for telecommunications.

Complete and modular telephone systems compared

Telekom offers compact telephone systems with its Eumex devices for both businesses and private environments. You can use analogue and ISDN systems – depending on the connection on-site. Additionally, there are rack systems that you can install in a server cabinet and equip with the necessary modules for line connections and specific devices. Modular telephone systems are available in various sizes. If you need to network multiple rooms and connections, you can also link the devices.

System telephones for PBX systems

To utilise all functions and features of a telephone system, the use of system telephones is sensible. You can, of course, also use conventional analogue and ISDN devices. However, note that ISDN telephones require a corresponding port. Many system telephones are desk devices equipped with a display and function keys. You can programme these using the software that comes with the system for various purposes.

Meaningfully expand the functions of the telephone system

Telephone systems usually control calls in a business or household. At the same time, you can also control other operating elements. With the right configuration, the devices can also be used for the intercom, door opener, or for controlling electric awnings. Since not every product supports these functions, you should specifically look for suitable systems. These either already include the function or can be expanded accordingly with a suitable module.

Tips for purchasing a telephone system

• Check the existing telephone connection
• Count all existing analogue and ISDN devices and the required ports
• With the associated system software, you can keep an eye on costs and call logs
• Ensure that the telephone system can be expanded if needed, should you wish to expand
• With VoIP devices, you can use multiple channels through one port of the system
