4. Analog long line extensions
Aim: To allow 1 or more remote sites / home-workers to have extensions on a centralised PBX,
retaining all the PBX’s analog phone functionality
When expanding into new offices it can be expensive and inconvenient to set up a new PBX or
run analog leased lines from the main site to the new remote site. Data infrastructure between
sites however is essential. Keeping the Main site PBX for all users brings many benefits, including
extension number dialling to all personnel, voice mail on a single site, common functionality for all
phone users (people can move offices and do not have to learn a new phone system).
By using data connections to join remote users back to the main site PBX, this concept can be
extended to home users, using the Internet as the data network. Now home-workers have all the
PBX functionality in their home-offices. Also no more telephone expense claims, business calls
are all made through the company PBX, and appropriate tariffs for outbound calls based on those
negotiated by the company with their chosen carrier.
