Larger, Fully Featured Phone Systems
When you have only a few rooms and one phone line, an 1820A Interphone system is ideal. Nevertheless, a large modern home with multiple phone lines or a home office, really benefits from a little more technology. The 2810C PBX provides that technology with easily accessed features. Features that make modern living simple and productive
The Tropical Telecom 2810C is a true PBX with all the advantages that implies in ease of use and low cost of ownership. It is a self-contained voice processing system with "in skin" voicemail, auto-attendant and fax message routing…all built on a compact PBX platform. The 2810C switches 2 phone lines and routes 2 additional lines. 10 extension station ports use off-the-shelf single line telephones. The system supports Caller ID, doorphones, paging, MOH, call forwarding and voice paging.
Working Right Out of the Box
A key advantage of a PBX architecture as compared to a KSU is that the memory and logic of a PBX resides in the PBX itself. In a key system (KSU), the logic is largely spread out among the telephones. The designers of 2810C took advantage of this characteristic to pre-program sets of operating parameters into the PBX at the factory. So, by using system configurations residing in the FLASH memory of every TropTel PBX, you can install the system and have it working right out of the box without any programming.
Tropical Telecom systems use regular telephones instead of 30 button challenges.
No standalone PC needed….
The 2810C has an internal microprocessor, ASICs and a digital signal processor. An external PC computer is not needed. In fact, you do not even use a computer to choose options and set preferences. You do that over a standard touch-tone phone. As for wiring, just run one Cat5 cable to the outside phone lines and to each extension phone, doorphone, or intercom station.
Your Own Automated Attendant
The 2810C PBX manages incoming calls in much the same way an executive assistant or receptionist does in a big company. It greets callers with voice menus and routes calls to the extension phone the caller selects. Meanwhile, some clever algorithms are working behind the scenes to handle call processing seamlessly and automatically.
A message you record greets callers:
"For Bill dial 10, for Marie dial 12. To leave a message, dial 4 and record
after the tone."
Or choose to ring all the phones first and only play a greeting if no one answers. Your system, your choice. At night, play a greeting that says:
"No one is available to answer your call, please leave a message after the tone."
No phones ring to wake you up. Moreover, you can use the built-in scheduler to automatically switch between Day Mode and Night Mode.
But Wait…There’s More
Among other neat things the Call Management system does is provide teletext InfoBoxes. Use one to record a Little League schedule. Players access it over the phone without bothering you. Or, use an InfoBox for a Spanish language directory of extensions in a bilingual home or office.
The 2810C PBX furnishes a complete "in skin" voice mail system. Each extension station has its own mailbox. In fact, the system has a total of 14 mailboxes.
One hour of solid state (FLASH) recording memory is provided for messages.
The voicemail system supports 19 functionally pre-defined Outgoing Greeting Messages that are user recordable. Plus 6 pre-recorded voice prompts (VPs) play automatically to guide users in operating the system. The 2810C furnishes audio time and date stamps that accompany all voicemail messages.
Call Waiting and Caller ID.
If you go off hook on your phone and hear …duh…duh…duh… instead of dial tone, you are not connected to Bart Simpson. The PBX is playing “stutter dial tone” to tell you know you have voicemail. Any extension phone with a Message Waiting Lamp, also lights when you have mail.
If you have Caller ID service from the telephone company that sells you dial tone, the Caller ID information transfers directly to the extension phones.
What Time Is it?
Dial #20 on any extension phone and the PBX’s nice digital lady will tell you the time of day.
Intercom Calls on a 2810C PBX
Selective Intercom:
Call any extension phone or intercom station by dialing its 2-digit station number.
All-Call Intercom:
Ring all extension phones by Dialing 6.
Intercom Stations including Door Phones:
Ring all extension phones (all-call) by pushing the call button on an intercom station.
The 2810C uses Troptel 4012 doorphones, available in five finishes to match any décor. It also uses TropTel 4010D intercom stations. All standard off the shelf phones, including cordless phones and answering machines work with the 2810C.
