Introduction

2N® NetStar is a new generation of PBX which supports VoIP technology. It works like a normal PBX and VoIP softswitch and fully connects services. It enables a number of devices to be used such as analogue telephone lines ISDN BRI, ISDN PRI and VoIP. The individual networks' properties are not separated but integrated into one compact system.

The system's call capacity corresponds to the needs of large companies and operators. Transfer between various networks is governed by dynamic least cost routing (LCR), which selects the cheapest and best route for making a call to the number required. Thanks to the well thought out LCR, in which every subscriber or individual port can have its own routing table, it is no problem to create a virtual PBX or simply create restrictions for certain subscriber groups or individuals.

The options for the subscriber terminals and communications are not dependent on the communications technology used. All extensions, from analogue phones to web terminals have the Web Assistant available for simple user configuration of the services. The Web Assistant combines web interfaces with voiced instructions and guides to the individual services. It is equally easy to operate the system phones by using the context menu. It is possible to define all of the phones' settings by means of the profiles, which can be easily created by the user or system administrator by means of the guide.
