PBX User Guide

The StarPound PBX provides business phone services using a software-based solution over your broadband connection, rather than using traditional phones and telecommunications equipment. StarPound PBX gives you all the functionality of an expensive hardware PBX system at a fraction of the cost. The StarPound PBX includes:

  • Voicemail
  • A company directory with dial-by-name service
  • Browser access to manage your voicemail and phone functions
  • Configurable call forwarding options
  • Configurable voice menus (auto attendants)

  

Requirements

 StarPound PBX does not require any expensive hardware or software. All the communications are handled through the StarPound PBX Server in the StarPound Technologies data center, which you access using your browser.

For you to use the StarPound PBX, your computer must have:
 

- A broadband connection to the internet (DSL recommended)
- A recent browser (Internet Explorer 7.0, Firefox)
- A softphone, such as the free X-Lite softphone from CounterPath

Or

- A physical SIP desk phone such as one provided by Polycom or Grandstream
- Optionally, a headset for best results for audio when taking calls
