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 individual telephone environment with the 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.
