Choose the Epygi Quadro IP PBX that Fits Your Company's Size and Needs.
At the most basic level, the job of the VoIP gateway is to do just as the name suggests: convert the regular analog voice borne by the traditional telephone network into IP data packets for transmission on the Internet and vice versa. Of course, Epygi never does anything at a basic level. Epygi Gateways offer built-in auto-configuration, firewall and secure VPN support, call quality enhancements and even PBX functions like auto-attendant, voice mail and call statistics.
The bonus features come in handy when you use Quadro gateways to integrate branch offices onto the company IP PBX network. They're valuable for migrating your legacy PBX onto the Internet. And they're keen for service providers delivering voice applications via the Web.
Quadro FXO Analog Gateway
PDF Document: Quadro FXO tech data sheet
Ports for analog phones
or devices: 6
Total simultaneous calls: 6
Ethernet LAN ports: 1
Ethernet WAN ports: 1
Essentially, the Quadro FXO gateway is a modular approach to adding additional outside PSTN or traditional telephone service lines to a corporate phone network that utilizes an Epygi Quadro IP PBX. Each QuadroFXO is a stand-alone SIP gateway device consisting of a VPN-router, firewall, HTTP server, and call processing software.
The FXO includes advanced PBX features and integration with any Quadro IP PBX is pure plug-and-play. If ports are in short supply, you can add multiple gateways to the IP PBX. Devices recognize each other and auto-configure.
The Quadro FXO Gateway can be used stand-alone as well, without an IP PBX (as with IP Centrex for example). The six FXO lines can be assigned VoIP network DID numbers by an ITSP.
Quadro ISDN VoIP Gateway
PDF Document: Quadro ISDN Gateway tech data sheet
Ports for analog phones
or devices: 6
ISDN SO ports: 4
Ethernet LAN ports: 1
Ethernet WAN ports: 1
The Quadro ISDN Gateway performs similarly to the FXO version but connects using ISDN ports. The gateway includes four ISDN BRI connections for phones and analog devices that can connect to the telephone company's central office or to a local PBX.
The Quadro ISDN can be used to add inbound lines, balance outbound call volumes from a combination of analog devices and IP phones.
Each Quadro ISDN is a stand-alone SIP gateway device that includes a VPN-router, firewall, HTTP server, and call processing software. Installing the Quadro ISDN requires very little configuration. A Quadro IP PBX will automatically present the new ISDN ports within its management system. The lines can be local within the office or used as an "extension cord" to remote branches.
Note: ISDN is not widely supported in the USA. It is intended for all other countries with large networks of ISDN-based service providers. If you are unsure of ISDN support in your region please contact your dealer or Epygi Technologies directly for clarification.
Quadro E1/T1 VoIP Gateway
PDF document: Quadro E1T1 tech data sheet
PDF document: QuadroM E1T1 Rack Mountable tech data sheet
Ports for analog phones
or devices: 1
Total simultaneous calls: 30 (E1), 24 (T1)
E1/T1 ports: 1
Ethernet LAN ports: 1
Ethernet WAN ports: 1
The Quadro E1/T1 connects to an traditional enterprise PBX or directly to a high capacity, usually fiber optic T1 (North America and Japan) or E1 (the rest of the world) from the PSTN telephone network. Its primary function is to bridge a portion of traffic of an incumbent proprietary PBX to the Internet.
A Quadro E1/T1 comes equipped with one FXS port for connection of a standard analog telephone or fax machine. In addition, there is one software configurable E1/T1 voice port. Your voice and data traffic are routed through the WAN port to the Internet.
Your company can make as many as 30 simultaneous SIP VoIP calls through a single Quadro E1/T1. The Quadro E1/T1 integrates PBX, security and traffic management functions and supports most signaling protocols including R2, CAS, and CCS (PRI).
Gateway VoIP QuadroM Dual E1/T1
PDF document: QuadroM E1T1 tech data sheet
Ports for analog phones or devices: 1
Dual E1/T1 port: 60 simultaneous calls (E1), 48 (T1)
E1/T1 ports: 2
Ethernet LAN ports: 1
Ethernet WAN ports: 1
The QuadroM E1/T1 expands on the capabilities of its sibling, the Quadro E1/T1, doubling the concurrent call capacity for both E1 (world standard) and T1 (North America and Japan) connections. This newer model features 30 channels of compressed g.729 codec. The new architecture and design enhancements improve sound quality and application integration.
The QuadroM E1/T1 is available in a sturdy metal rack-mountable housing that permits the inclusion of a built-in power source and cooling fan for heavy duty operation and extended life span.
Like the E1/T1, the QuadroM version includes call routing, call accounting and auto attendant capabilities, voice prioritization over data and sophisticated firewall and security elements. And like the E1/T1 the QuadroM functions primarily to bridge traditional PBX traffic to the Internet, reducing costs and simplifying system administration.
