Blind Transfer: Yealink Yeastar MyPBX SoHo MyPBX Standard MyPBX U100 MyPBX U200 MyPBX U300 MyPBX U500 PABX PBX switchboards telephone systems blind transfer involves passing a call without notifying the recipient. It is also known as unsupervised transfer or cold transfer.
BLF Support: Yealink Yeastar MyPBX SoHo MyPBX Standard MyPBX U100 MyPBX U200 MyPBX U300 MyPBX U500 PABX PBX switchboards telephone systems is a Busy Lamp Field. Typically a collection of lights or indicators on a phone that indicate who is talking on other phones connected to the same PBX or Key System. Used by a receptionist or secretary to aid in routing incoming calls.
Blacklist: Yealink Yeastar MyPBX SoHo MyPBX Standard MyPBX U100 MyPBX U200 MyPBX U300 MyPBX U500 PABX PBX switchboards telephone systems Number Blacklist is used to block an incoming call you do not want to answer. If the incoming call number is registered in the number blacklist, the caller will hear the following: “The number you have dialed is not in service. Please check the number and try again”. The system will then disconnect the call.
CDR (Call Detail Records): Yealink Yeastar MyPBX SoHo MyPBX Standard MyPBX U100 MyPBX U200 MyPBX U300 MyPBX U500 PABX PBX switchboards telephone systems Call Detail Record (also known as Call Data Record - CDR) is the computer record produced by a telephone exchange containing details of a call that passed through it. It is the automated equivalent of the paper toll tickets that were written and timed by operators for long distance calls in a manual telephone exchange.
Call Forward: Yealink Yeastar MyPBX SoHo MyPBX Standard MyPBX U100 MyPBX U200 MyPBX U300 MyPBX U500 PABX PBX switchboards telephone systems Call forwarding (or call diverting), in telephony, is a feature on some telephone networks that allows an incoming call to a called party, which would be otherwise unavailable, to be redirected to a mobile telephone or other telephone number where the desired called party is situated.
Call Parking: Yealink Yeastar MyPBX SoHo MyPBX Standard MyPBX U100 MyPBX U200 MyPBX U300 MyPBX U500 PABX PBX switchboards telephone systems Call park is a feature of some telephone systems that allows a person to put a call on hold at one telephone set and continue the conversation from any other telephone set. The “call park” feature is activated by pressing a preprogrammed button (usually labelled “Call Park”) or a special sequence of buttons. This transfers the current telephone conversation to an unused extension number and immediately puts the conversation on hold. (This is called parking the call; and the call is said to have parked onto a certain extension. Essentially, call parking temporarily assigns an extension number to an incoming call.) The telephone system will then announce the extension number of the parked call so that the call can later be retrieved.
Call Pickup: Yealink Yeastar MyPBX SoHo MyPBX Standard MyPBX U100 MyPBX U200 MyPBX U300 MyPBX U500 PABX PBX switchboards telephone systems Call pick-up is a feature used in a telephone system that allows one to answer someone else’s telephone call. The “call pick-up” feature is accessed by pressing a preprogrammed button, or by pressing a special sequence of buttons on the telephone set. In places where “call pick-up” is used, the telephone sets may be divided into groups. Under such an arrangement, using “call pick-up” will only pick up a call in the same group. There are two main types: Group call pickup, this allows you to collect a call from any ringing phone that is in the same pickup group as you, if there were more than one phone ringing then you would have no control over which call you collected. Directed pickup, this allows you to pickup a call at a specific extension, maybe you're in another office and you hear a phone ringing and wonder if it's yours. You dial the pickup number and your extension, and the call will only transfer if it is your extension.
Call Routing: Yealink Yeastar MyPBX SoHo MyPBX Standard MyPBX U100 MyPBX U200 MyPBX U300 MyPBX U500 PABX PBX switchboards telephone systems Call Routing offers your company the flexibility to direct incoming phone calls according to your business needs and office schedule. Introduction: Using Call Routing For Your Business. Key Features of Call Routing Route calls by schedule: Time of day, day of week. Looking to route calls by schedule? Using our simple interface, you can easily create custom routing for office hours, lunch, after hours, weekends. Route calls by caller ID: Route or screen specific callers. Want to screen calls and create custom routing rules for specific phone numbers? MyPBX enables you to route calls by caller ID. Route calls by responses to IVR menus. Need a more advanced solution? Ask callers a series of questions using Interactive Voice Response and route them based on their answers. This option is especially popular for our lead generation and call center customers.
Call Transfer: Yealink Yeastar MyPBX SoHo MyPBX Standard MyPBX U100 MyPBX U200 MyPBX U300 MyPBX U500 PABX PBX switchboards telephone systems Call Transfer is used to transfer a call in progress to some other destination. There are two types of call transfer: Blind Transfer. While on a conversation with another party, you dial the blind transfer key sequence. MyPBX says "Transfer" then gives you a dial tone, while putting the other party on hold. You dial the transferee number and the caller is put through to that number immediately. Your line drops. The caller ID displayed to the person receiving the transferred call is exactly the same as the caller ID presented to you. Attended Transfer. While on conversation with another party, you dial the attended transfer key sequence. MyPBX says "Transfer" then gives you a dial tone, while putting the other party on hold. You dial the transferee number and talk with the transferee to introduce the call, then you can hang up and the other party will be connected with the transferee. In case the transferee does not want to answer the call, he/she simply hangs up and you will be back to your original conversation. Press the disconnect key sequence, set to *0 by default, to return yourself to the original caller. Note The caller ID presented to the person you are trying to transfer the call to is not what you would expect - Asterisk sets your caller ID to be the extension the call originally arrived at which may not be the same as the extension the call was answered at. There doesn't appear to be any way of getting the correct caller ID.
Call Waiting: Yealink Yeastar MyPBX SoHo MyPBX Standard MyPBX U100 MyPBX U200 MyPBX U300 MyPBX U500 PABX PBX switchboards telephone systems Call waiting (or catch phone in Japan) is a feature on some telephone networks. If a calling party places a call to a called party which is otherwise engaged, and the called party has the call waiting feature enabled, the called party is able to suspend the current telephone call and switch to the new incoming call, and can then negotiate with the new or the current caller an appropriate time to ring back if the message is important, or to quickly handle a separate incoming call.
Conference: Yealink Yeastar MyPBX SoHo MyPBX Standard MyPBX U100 MyPBX U200 MyPBX U300 MyPBX U500 PABX PBX switchboards telephone systems conference call is a telephone call in which the calling party wishes to have more than one called party listen in to the audio portion of the call. The conference calls may be designed to allow the called party to participate during the call. It is often referred to as an ATC (Audio Tele-Conference).Conference calls can be designed so that the calling party calls the other participants and adds them to the call - however, participants are usually able to call into the conference call themselves, by dialing into a special telephone number that connects to a "conference room".
DISA (Direct Inward System Access): Yealink Yeastar MyPBX SoHo MyPBX Standard MyPBX U100 MyPBX U200 MyPBX U300 MyPBX U500 PABX PBX switchboards telephone systems allows an external caller can access internal pbx features on certain CO lines by keying in a special code. The PBX answers the incoming call with dial tone, and the caller enters the access code (if required) and destination extension number or routing code.
DID's: Yealink Yeastar MyPBX SoHo MyPBX Standard MyPBX U100 MyPBX U200 MyPBX U300 MyPBX U500 PABX PBX switchboards telephone systems Direct inward dialing (DID), also called direct dial-in (DDI) in Europe and Oceania, is a feature offered by telephone companies for use with their customers' private branch exchange (PBX) systems. In DID service the telephone company provides one or more trunk lines to the customer for connection to the customer's PBX and allocates a range of telephone numbers to this line (or group of lines) and forwards all calls to such numbers via the trunk. As calls are presented to the PBX, the dialed destination number (DNIS) is transmitted, usually partially (e.g., last four digits), so that the PBX can route the call directly to the desired telephone extension within the organization without the need for an operator or attendant. The service allows direct inward call routing to each extension while maintaining only a limited number of subscriber lines to satisfy the average concurrent usage of the customer.
DND (Do Not Disturb): Yealink Yeastar MyPBX SoHo MyPBX Standard MyPBX U100 MyPBX U200 MyPBX U300 MyPBX U500 PABX PBX switchboards telephone systems DND functionality is the ability of a phone or client to ignore any incoming calls. This can be implemented in several ways.
Ringer Off or Ringer Mute. The call rings as normal but does not alert the user. The call is then handled by the method programmed in the no-answer event, such as sending the call to the voice mail system after 20 seconds of ringing. Busy Mode. The phone is taken off-hook or sends a signal to the PBX stating it is busy, and not available for calls. The call is then handled by the method programmed in the busy event, such as forwarding to another free extension or to voice mail. Mixed Mode. Some phone and PBX systems implement a priority calling functionality. DND is activated on the phone. When a normal call comes in, it is handled by the Ringer Off or Busy Mode rules as stated above. Other users have the ability to mark a call as Priority, bypassing the DND mode and forcing the extension to ring. An example where this is used would be when a user is in an important meeting. She places her phone in DND mode, as to not be disturbed by everyday calls. A situation comes up where it is urgent to get in touch with her, even though she is using DND. The person attempting to call her hits the Priority Call button, which bypasses the DND and rings the phone. This does not turn off DND, and any other normal calls are still treated as such. Some phone systems refer to DND as SAC or Send All Calls (to voice mail.) The functionality is the same, just under a different name. In MyPBX, DND is usually controlled by dialing: *75 to turn on Do Not Disturb mode and *075 to turn off Do Not Disturb mode. MyPBX implemented in BUSY mode, the call will be forwarded to extensions’ voicemail.
IVR (Interactive Voice Response):Yealink Yeastar MyPBX SoHo MyPBX Standard MyPBX U100 MyPBX U200 MyPBX U300 MyPBX U500 PABX PBX switchboards telephone systems Interactive Voice Response (IVR) is a phone system application that prompts callers with recorded messages and options and processes voice input and/or touch-phone keypad selections from these menus. The IVR function responds to this input by providing appropriate information in the form of voice answer or provides a connection to a "live" operator.
Intercom/Zone Intercom: Yealink Yeastar MyPBX SoHo MyPBX Standard MyPBX U100 MyPBX U200 MyPBX U300 MyPBX U500 PABX PBX switchboards telephone systems call an extension and force immediate pickup (phone will automatically go to speaker phone). Audio will be two-way. Yealink phones currently supported.
One touch record: Yealink Yeastar MyPBX SoHo MyPBX Standard MyPBX U100 MyPBX U200 MyPBX U300 MyPBX U500 PABX PBX switchboards telephone systems easily record conversations for monitoring purposes.
Paging/Zone Paging: Yealink Yeastar MyPBX SoHo MyPBX Standard MyPBX U100 MyPBX U200 MyPBX U300 MyPBX U500 PABX PBX switchboards telephone systems allows one extension to broadcast a message to many extensions through a ring group.
Queue: Yealink Yeastar MyPBX SoHo MyPBX Standard MyPBX U100 MyPBX U200 MyPBX U300 MyPBX U500 PABX PBX switchboards telephone systems Call queuing is a concept used in inbound call centers. Call centers use an Automatic Call Distributor (ACD) to distribute incoming calls to specific resources (agents) in the center. ACDs hold queued calls in First In, First Out order until agents become available. From the caller’s perspective, without virtual queuing they have only two choices: wait until an agent resource becomes available, or abandon (hang up) and try again later. From the call center’s perspective, a long queue results in many abandoned calls, repeat attempts, and customer dissatisfaction.
Ring Group: Yealink Yeastar MyPBX SoHo MyPBX Standard MyPBX U100 MyPBX U200 MyPBX U300 MyPBX U500 PABX PBX switchboards telephone systems takes one inbound call and rings all phones; the first to pick up gets the call. This feature, on other phone systems, is sometimes called "Simultaneous Ring".
Three Way Calling: Yealink Yeastar MyPBX SoHo MyPBX Standard MyPBX U100 MyPBX U200 MyPBX U300 MyPBX U500 PABX PBX switchboards telephone systems Three Way Calling allows three users to do a conference call. Each user listens to each other user and may talk to each other.

What Is A PBX?
Also known as an IP PBX or IP business phone system, a PBX acts as the central switching system for phone calls within a business. PBX systems handle internal traffic between stations and act as the gatekeeper to the outside world. The initials PBX stand for Private Branch Exchange, a very old fashioned term for a system that has evolved significantly over the past century.
A traditional PBX is made up of two key elements: lines and stations. The lines, sometimes called trunks, are connections to the global public switched telephony network (PSTN) by way of a telephone company. Stations are simply telephones or other endpoint devices like fax machines, modems and credit card terminals. The original mission of the PBX was to provide shared access to limited resources. Rather than having a separate phone line for each phone, a business could share a small pool of lines across a much larger pool of stations. When a call came it was answered by an operator who then connected it with the appropriate person or department. When someone inside needed to make a call, the operator connected them with an available line. Frequently these early systems were simply called “switchboards”.
Over time, operators were replaced by electromechanical and later electronic systems for managing access to lines. Additional features were added to automatically route incoming calls, to allow active calls to be transferred between stations and to permit or deny calls based on various rules. Adjunct systems were added for voice messaging, call queuing and other value added services.
Today, a business phone system is much more than just a simple switch. Adjunct technologies like automated attendant, voice messaging, call queuing and multi-party conferencing have become standard features. Basic analog and proprietary digital phones are giving way to standards-based IP phones. Outside connectivity is now available over the Internet in the form of SIP trunks or other VoIP services.
When PBXs were originally developed, wireline phone calls were the only type of electronic communication available. Today, the communications landscape has expanded to include email, instant messaging, video conferencing, desktop sharing, SMS and mobile telephony. Unified Communications is a catch-all term that describes the process of merging all of these technologies and integrating them with business processes. Unified Communications aims to increase efficiency while simplifying management.
Key PBX Features
If you’re looking for a PBX, here are some of the features you should be sure are included:
VoIP Ready: The world is moving away from legacy PSTN lines and towards VoIP. Make sure your PBX can support IP stations (phones) and IP trunks (service). SIP is the current de facto standard, so don’t buy a phone system that doesn’t support it.
Voice Messaging: Once upon a time, voicemail was an optional add-on. Today, it’s table stakes. Look for PBXs that can forward voicemail messages to your email as attachments. If possible, look for IP phones that support visual voicemail.
Mobility: Most businesses have at least some road warriors who spend much of their time out of the office. Make sure your PBX supports mobility features like Find Me / Follow Me, remote IP extensions and fixed / mobile convergence.
Conferencing: One of the best ways to cut down on travel costs is teleconferencing. Make sure your phone system has native support for true multi-party conferences (not just basic three-way calling).
Reporting: If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. Make sure that the PBX you pick includes basic call history reporting features.
Asterisk As A PBX
Asterisk was originally created as the engine for a PBX system (in fact, many refer to it as the Asterisk PBX) and includes all of the components necessary to build a powerful, scalable business phone system. These include advanced features that usually cost extra on a commercial phone system: things like voicemail, automated attendant, call queueing, conference bridging, parking, paging, and intercom calling.
Asterisk is technology and protocol agnostic, which means that you can connect it to the outside world using VoIP or traditional telephony technologies. It also means that you can use virtually any standards-based IP phone; Asterisk includes drivers for SIP and other protocols that were specifically designed to compliment Asterisk and take advantage of a number of key productivity features.
Asterisk is future-proof. Unlike traditional phone systems that are generally upgraded using a forklift, Asterisk continues to evolve. Phone systems based on Asterisk see significant improvements each year as new features are included.
Build From Scratch
There are several options for building a PBX system using Asterisk. You can build a completely custom solution from scratch, starting with just the raw Asterisk engine. This gives you complete control over the way your phone system operates, but requires a good deal of effort and can be difficult to maintain unless you have an Asterisk expert on staff. Building from scratch is appropriate if you are creating a new product or service, if your project has extremely specific requirements that cannot be met with off-the-shelf solutions, or if you simply enjoy the challenge of learning a new skill.
Build From A Distro
Another DIY option (with a significantly lower learning curve) is to deploy a software appliance. AsteriskNOW is a special Linux distribution that installs the operating system, Asterisk, drivers for phones and an open source administrative user interface called FreePBX. The installation process if fully automated and takes roughly 20 minutes to convert a computer into a working phone system.
