Call Routing Modes
The system can operate in either of two modes; PBX or Key. The selected mode affects the system's outgoing call routing and incoming call routing settings. The default setting is set by the type of System SD card fitted during installation, see below.
Basic Edition Modes
The system can operate as a IP Office Basic Edition, IP Office Basic Edition - Norstar Mode or IP Office Basic Edition - PARTNER Mode system. This is set by the type of System SD card fitted to the system during installation. The modes are all similar in operation. The few differences are related to the different global areas in which they are made available and thus the equipment also supported in those countries. For example IP Office Basic Edition - PARTNER Mode is only available in North American countries and so does not support BRI trunks.
