Hi

Greetings!!!

I have a query regarding Virtual IP PBX,my Question is

1.Can v use a Carrier grade network platform(SIP based communication) that serves a Virtual hosted IP PBX over the Internet/MPLS cloud using SIP which communicates with the Cisco IP phones & PSTN gateways, thereby eliminating the need for a PBX or IP PBX on customer premises?

2.If yes, then what is exact procedure?

Looking forward 4 ur prompt response ASAP.

You can do that but is poor solution, because you will never have the full features and control that you have with a local device, that is also cheap and effective like a CME router.

Moreover, if the Internet circuit fails, none of the telephones will work. That is bad.

Yes, you can use a carrier-grade SIP-based network platform to host a Virtual IP PBX over the Internet/MPLS cloud. This setup can communicate seamlessly with Cisco IP phones and PSTN gateways, thus eliminating the need for on-premises PBX or IP PBX systems.

Procedure:

1. Choose a SIP Provider: Select a reliable SIP trunking provider that supports carrier-grade network platforms.
2. Set Up Virtual IP PBX:
   • Configure the virtual IP PBX in the cloud.
   • Ensure it is SIP-compatible and supports the necessary features for your business needs.
3. Configure Network:
   • Connect the virtual IP PBX to your Internet/MPLS cloud.
   • Ensure network settings optimize voice quality and reliability.
4. Integrate Cisco IP Phones:
   • Register the Cisco IP phones with the virtual IP PBX using SIP credentials.
   • Configure phone settings for seamless communication.
5. Connect PSTN Gateways:
   • Integrate PSTN gateways with the virtual IP PBX to handle traditional phone lines.
   • Ensure proper routing rules are set for incoming and outgoing calls.
6. Test the Setup:
   • Conduct thorough testing to ensure all components communicate effectively.
   • Test call quality, connectivity, and failover mechanisms.
7. Monitor and Maintain:
   • Continuously monitor the system for performance and reliability.
   • Regularly update configurations and firmware to maintain optimal operation.
