What is VoIP? VoIP is a new way to make and receive calls over the Internet much like sending and receiving emails. Phone calls are transferred into data and sent through high-speed Internet. There are four different methods of communication which VoIP offers: computer to computer, computer to telephone, telephone to computer, and telephone to telephone. How does VoIP work? First let's define the difference between circuit switching and patch switching. Circuit switching routes your call through the switch at your local carrier to the person you are calling - we use this when making a phone call with a normal telephone. VoIP uses patch switching, which is more efficient since it transmits compressed data called a packet. The packet of data is then sent from one system to another. Patch switching allows several telephone calls to the same space that only one call would inhabit in a circuit switched network - a key reason why VoIP is much cheaper. What are its advantages? VoIP
allows you to make calls virtually for free anywhere in the world. The rates are significantly less than direct telephone connections. This is how we can offer you free employee-to-employee and office-to-office calls. Possibly both! One of the great things about FortiVoice is that you can use either or both together. But there are some differences. Here are a few things to think about when choosing which phones to buy. Analog phones are the same kind of phones that you've been using for years. The phones in your house are, quite likely, analog phones. That means they're extremely reliable, familiar and very easy to use. You just plug them in, and they do what they've always done. IP phones are a little more complicated, since they're a little more like computers. There are, however, some reasons why you might want to use IP phones as well as or instead of analog phones. Capacity The number of phone users in your office is one important consideration. If you use IP phones, you can
have more extensions per FortiVoice unit than you can with only analog phones. Remember, though, that like all telephone systems, your FortiVoice system can only handle as many simultaneous calls as you have telephone lines or VoIP trunks available to handle those calls. For example, an FVC-48 has 4 phone lines, with capacity for 4 calls at once. Line appearance and extension appearance Some businesses want the ability to see and select phone lines or extensions right on their telephone, a feature called line or extension appearance. FortiVoice offers line or extension appearance on the FON-350i, FON-450i, and FON-550i. So if you want line or extension appearance for your office, choose these IP phones.
Depending on how you plan to use line or extension appearance in your business, you might want to consider the FortiVoice Console. It's a software application that allows you to see all of your line and extension traffic on your computer. Other features might also influence your decision about which phones to buy. For example, you can only have external IP extensions with IP phones. You can always use both analog and IP phones. Wiring Some offices are already wired for analog telephones at each workstation. Analog phones use standard RJ11 phone wires to plug into an extension jack in the back of the FortiVoice, and some offices have all of the phone jacks wired back to one main location.
