Digium TDM404E - New Packaging ESD Case

Monday, February 8, 2010

If you have ordered a Digium Card recently you may have noticed that we've begun shipping these items in an Anti-Static protective case vs the ESD bags. This is a welcome change as the ESD bags provided little or no protection during shipping.

Digium’s biggest achievement of 08

In 2008 we watched a small but growing/news worthy company get gobbled up by the corporate Sponsor of Asterisk, Digium. In the wake of these happenings we have seen growth in the Swithvox sector of our business as the coupling has given better name recongintion to the solution making it THE Asterisk based solution not just another Asterisk based solution.

Although it has never been a hard sell we are pleased to see that it is gaining speed elsewhere and happy to be a part of it.

THE NEW SWITCHVOX AA300 – Offering the power of a server class PBX for medium-sized businesses.

Today marks the newest addition to the Switchvox appliance family. Since acquiring Switchvox – the predominant IP PBX founded on Asterisk – Digium, Inc. has wasted no time merging the products of both companies. The result: increased, better options for customers who are looking to get rid of dated, expensive phone systems while enjoying the functionality of a PBX designed with the demands of large businesses in mind. By employing Switchvox software on Digium appliances, customers can expect to benefit from the easy-to-use, plentiful features of Switchvox and the dependable, convenient quality of Digium appliances. With the AA300 enhancing the already-well-established Digium appliance family, customers representing a wide range of business network demands should have no trouble finding the IP PBX best suited to their needs.

The AA300 supports up to 150 users, 45 concurrent calls, 10 concurrent call recordings, and 15 concurrent conference users. It comes in a short depth 3U rackmount form, but it can easily mounted on the wall and its relatively compact size means it can even sit inconspicuously on most desks. The AA300 can be used with Silver, Gold, or Platinum SMB subscriptions and it comes with a standard 1 year warranty, which can be upgraded to a 3 year warranty. The AA300 SMB starts at $4,240.

More on the Switchvox AA60

Sunday, March 23, 2008

Switchvox 3.5 and Beyond:

As you may have heard, the folks at Digium have released yet another product designed specifically to meet the needs of small businesses everywhere. The latest being a small form factor device that will ship pre-loaded with the award winning Switchvox SOHO or Switchvox SMB Software. This new offering will replace their tower PC solutions and carry the latest software features available only in version 3.5.

What's New in the Switchvox AA60 and Switchvox 3.5?

Phone Provisioning Tool:
Switchvox SMB 3.5 will now have built in phone configuration through an integrated phone management tool that will allow for automatic detection of handsets on the network. In addition to this benefit the Switchvox 3.5 version will also feature an updated admin suite that will carry different levels of access for users slated with the task of administering the Switchvox PBX.

Inbound and Outbound Calls:
Also new in 3.5 will be an updated "Incoming Calls" utility... An enhancement over previous versions the updated page will let users more easily map Direct Inward Dialing numbers (DIDs) to users, IVRs, and Call Queues with the system. The new 3.5 Software will also provide the ability to set outbound caller id resources on a per user extension basis, streamlining the current Switchvox SMB methodology.

Enhanced Phonebook Panel:
BRAVO! - Now users can add multiple contacts to their switchboard simultaneously... This is a major improvement to the current switchvox SMB functionality. Previously, end-users would have to traverse multiple screens to add users one at a time. 3.5 eliminates this by allow the user to grab multiple contacts at once.

End-User Search Feature:
Although I haven't seen this in action, Digium's description of this feature leads me to believe that when you are on the "Manage Extensions" screen there will be a search bar for typing in the users name for easy modification. The PRE Switchvox 3.5 version require that you first select the extension type from a pull down menu then scan through a list of end-users... This will eliminate the need to browse multiple extension pages while utilizing the CTRL + F function of your browser.

AsteriskNOW - Say Goodbye to Beta!

Saturday, February 23, 2008

The much anticipated NON-Beta release of AsteriskNOW has finally been announced. The new software includes a few things that may make this the most logical solution available for people not well versed in the dark art of Linuxology.

The AsterisNOW 1.0.1 Release currently has the ability to turn a mild mannered PC into an extremely powerful IP-PBX, conference bridge, or IVR application. Features include an updated GUI, Asterisk release 1.4.17, Zaptel release 1.4.8, Linux Kernel 2.6.22, and automated Polycom Phone Provisioning.

AsteriskNOW also includes the Open Settlement Protocol and will be available in two versions AsteriskNOW! Pure, which contains only GPL and GPL compatible components and runs only the stock version of Asterisk, and AsteriskNOW! Plus which apparently has a more proprietary software arrangement.
