SWYX Software consists of the following
server-side software components. Simply put Swyxit is the client
software and SWYX Server is the engine behind
SwyxServer
SwyxServer is a software solution based on the Microsoft® Windows®
Server platform, which turns the server into a PBX. SwyxServer not only
carries out all the functions of a classical PBX, but also provides high-performance
phone functions for every user. The PBX functions of SwyxServer include call
connection requests, call authorization and all call switching processes, as
well as the management of group calls.
Central administration
SwyxServer works with an SQL database and all necessary settings, such as the
addition of new users or the modification of user rights, are achieved through
Microsoft® Management Console (MMC). This provides direct access from anywhere
in the IP network for all user data, regardless of whether managing with access
rights or with rerouting of calls on SwyxServer.
Application scenario: A move within a company
Especially moves within the company can be very cost and labour-intensive. With
traditional PBXs, a telephony technician must be available to facilitate this
move. SwyxWare solves this problem. It makes no difference where in the company
the employee works. By logging on to the PC network, the individuals telephone
environment with their own extension number will be received immediately.
Intelligent system architecture
SwyxServer comes with a system architecture providing optimum server performance
as well as minimised network load. Swyx call control allows calls to be routed
directly to each user in the network and therefore minimizes the load of the
SwyxServer. This brings significant advantages for the performance of the network
and system hardware, as all voice traffic is not being processed through a single
point within the network.
Voicemail for all users
For every user, SwyxServer offers individually definable voicemail functionality.
There is much more to SwyxWare voicemail than to a traditional answering machine.
Over an existing mail server voice messages, can be automatically forwarded via
email to any destination. Right away the recipient can listen to the message
from his email inbox. Voice messages can also be compressed to save resources.
Integrated conference manager
The conference manager integrated in SwyxServer allows conference calls with
internal and external callers. A conference can either be setup individually
by any user or the callers can dial directly into a virtual conference room with
a unique extension. The access to conference calls can also be controlled with
call routing rules. For example, it's possible to protect conference rooms with
a PIN or restrict the access to certain telephone numbers.
Intersite coupling with SwyxLink-Manager
With SwyxWare's software component SwyxLink-Manager, communication can be operated
over existing IP connections between different subsidiaries or sites. Calls between
the subsidiaries are free of charge. All outgoing calls are held within the IP
network as long as possible before the least expensive communication path is
selected.
SwyxLink-Manager also controls the bandwidth
administration by configuring voice codecs, compression methods and number of
connections. When the maximum number of connections is being used or when the
IP connection has failed, all calls are performed automatically as a fallback
solution over the PSTN.
