Quadro It’s free. It's easy. And that's just the start.

It’s Easy

Just connect a Quadro to your broadband Internet service (cable modem) using an Ethernet cable. The Quadro automatically configures itself. And in minutes, you are able to make voice over IP calls for free. Connect up to two ordinary phones to it, or assign a PBX trunk so that your entire office or household can use the Quadro. The voice quality through the Quadro's digital signal processor (DSP) will almost always be better than using your current long distance company. When there isn't a Quadro device on the other end, you can still call free of charge to any IP phone or computer. By using a VoIP gateway service provider, you can talk long-distance to anyone on the public phone network for pennies per minute.

It’s Flexible

One FXO line go to your local phone company so you can make calls from home or on the road. When you call from outside the office, Quadro's Caller ID recognizes your mobile phone number and immediately authenticates your access to the Quadro. Just dial your associate's extension and the Quadro routes your call on the best route possible either down the hall or around the globe. Since the Quadro also contains call forwarding and call routing instructions, people who are out of the office can still be reached automatically. New York, Los Angeles, London, Tokyo or Buenos Aires, the world becomes your virtual office. Communications has never been so inexpensive, flexible or convenient.

It’s Secure

The Quadro has a lifeline safety feature in the event of a power failure. If your power goes out, one phone immediately connects to the public phone network for emergency services. The Quadro has many PBX (Private Branch Exchange) features such as call waiting, call blocking, speed calling, hold music and call statistics to name a few. Quadro Pro extends this PBX features by voice mail, 3 way conferencing and call forwarding. Quadro devices are also packed with an amazing array of network features including a firewall for secure Internet access. Quadro Pro delivers additionally a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to enhance the security for private voice and data communication..

It’s Inexpensive

The purchase price of the Quadro is justified by the quantifiable cost savings associated with all long distance and international calls made through the Quadro. You will realize a quick payback on your initial investment and, then, enjoy recurring cost savings every time you use your Quadro. No obsolescence. No upgrades. No maintenance fees. No license fees.

Features

Call Answering Features

Call Queue

Incoming callers can be held in a queue while they listen to a customizable recorded message. The caller can be sent to voicemail or redirected to another extension if no one picks up

Multi-Company Receptionist

One receptionist can answer calls from predetermined PSTN/IP lines, each identified to a specific company

Simultaneous Ring

While covering several managers’ extensions, a receptionist’s phone will ring simultaneously with each extension, showing which manager is being called, with the caller ID

Extension Status

A receptionist’s phone can be used to monitor multiple managers’ phones providing information on the extension’s status (off-hook, on-hook, do-not-disturb) before taking action

Call Pickup

Pickup groups may be defined with a group of extensions. Any phone in the office can be used to answer a call that is ringing on another extension within the pickup group

Call Hunt

Allows calls to ring in on a number of lines so that the first available person can answer.

Auto Attendant with Interactive Voice Response

An interactive voice response (IVR) system replaces the human operator and directs callers to the appropriate extensions or voice mailboxes. VoiceXML v2 is an XML-based language (eXtensible Markup Language) created to develop speech user interfaces for telephone users. It engages users through pre-recorded or synthesized audio prompts.

Call Management Features

Call Hold

Keeps one line "off hook" and connected while the user makes or receives a call on another line. The user can take the original part off hold and resume the conversation.

Call Transfer

Transfer enables a user to forward an incoming call to another telephone or extension

Call Waiting

Signals a recipient that he has an incoming call on an engaged line and allows him to hold his current call, in favor of taking the second one and then switching back to his original caller.

Three-way Conferencing

Allows the caller and two other parties to speak together on one connection.

Call Park

When a call is placed in “park” it is put on hold at a specific extension number to be resumed by someone at another phone. That person can pick up the call by keying the displayed extension number. If no one is available to take the call at the other location, it will “ring back" to the original extension alerting the person who originally parked the call.

Call Screening Features

Direct Transfer to a Voicemail Box

Allows a caller to be transferred directly to the voicemail of another user.

Call Blocking

Prevents calls from reselected numbers from ringing through, giving users the opportunity to avoid unwanted callers

Hiding Caller ID

A caller can block her phone number from being identified by the call recipient

Do Not Disturb

User instructs PBX to route all his incoming calls directly to voice mail. The phone on his desk does not ring.

Away from the Phone

Receive Notification of System Events via Text Message

Choose to receive notice of “events” (calls, voice mails, etc.) from the PBX to your mobile phone as a text message.

Voice Mail

Also known as a VMS, voice mail is a centralized system of managing phone messages for a group of people. Voice mail allows users to receive, answer and manage their phone messages from different locations, sometimes tailoring a response to different callers.

Call Forwarding

Allows users to program the PBX to automatically redirect incoming calls to another number--a mobile phone or home phone for example.

Unified Messaging

Integrates different message types: voice mail, email, text messaging, fax, into a single box that is accessible from a variety of devices: phone, PC, mobile phone, PDA.

Conveniences

Intercom

Room to room communication on telephone sets

Speed Dial

The user "saves" frequently called numbers so that they can be dialed with an assigned shortcut of two or three digits.

Corporate Directory

Provides users with the ability to scroll through a company directory list of names and numbers and dial automatically

Call Paging

User dials in to overhead or external speakers to make voice announcements. Can be set up with speakerphones or specific groups of speakerphones

Call Statistics

The ability to track and report facts (call recipient, length of call, on-hold time, etc.) on incoming and outgoing calls per extension

Dial Plans (call routing)

Calls can travel through a network along a pre-determined path to accomplish a specific goal. Call routing helps determine the least expensive way to make a call or the least congested path to take. Incoming calls can be grouped according to area code and routed to specific customer service reps who manage different geographic regions.

Time of Day Dialing

Creates the ability to route callas according to times of day, enabling users to reselect where a call will come to them during different time periods.

Special IP Phone Support

Many small businesses have multiple locations or are expanding into more locations.
For instance, the main or original location was established and as the business grows,
another location is added in a different area in order to better serve customers and offer more convenience. Using the Epygi at the main business location and a router/ switch
at the remote location provide an affordable way to link sites together; upgrade both voice and data services for the entire company; and improve customer service at each location.
