Features
Full Range of PBX Features
PBX Lite offers a full range of traditional PBX features like Call Waiting, Call on Hold, Call Transfer, Call Park, 3-way Calling, Caller ID, Caller ID Block, Call Screening, Do-Not-Disturb (DND), Call Recording, Speed 2-digit Dialing, White and Black Lists, and more. All such features are available to both local and remote extensions.
Support for Local and Remote Extensions
Because PBX Lite is a hybrid system, it offers more flexibility to businesses. Unlike traditional PBX systems, PBX Lite supports both local and remote extensions that allow users to make and receive calls from anywhere. PBX Lite utilizes the Internet to bridge calls between local and remote extensions and enables companies to decentralize their organizational structures while enjoying zero costs for intra and inter office calls.
Deployable in PSTN, VoIP or Hybrid Environment
PBX Lite is designed to operate in VoIP, PSTN or hybrid environment. Businesses that are not ready to switch to pure VoIP, can still benefit from the technology. For example, they can keep their regular calls going out over PSTN lines and use VoIP only for intra and inter office calls to reduce the cost of internal communications. When businesses decide to switch to 100% VoIP communications, they will enjoy extra benefits, such as lower costs of long distance and international calls.
Unlimited Extensions and High Call Capacity
PBX Lite allows businesses to minimize initial investments in communications infrastructure while preserving the option to scale up when needed. Adding an extension to PBX Lite is as easy as adding an extra phone and performing short configuration setup via a web browser. The system supports unlimited number of extensions and up to 30 simultaneous calls. Businesses that outgrow system capacity can either add a second server or upgrade to SysMaster PBX products with higher capacity.
Automatic Call Distribution (ACD)
PBX Lite offers ACD functionality which enables companies to reduce call waiting time for their customers. ACD allows PBX extensions to be associated with one or more groups (e.g. sales, customer support, business development etc.). When the auto attendant routes calls to a particular group, PBX Lite will ring associated extensions in a sequential or rotational manner.
Voicemail with Unified Messaging
PBX Lite offers complete voicemail functionality that can be accessed via phone or web. The product also supports unified messaging, enabling users to access their voicemails via alternative communication methods. In particular, PBX Lite can be configured to email notifications of received voicemails or to email voicemail messages as audio attachments to users.
Advanced Auto Attendant/IVR
PBX Lite features advanced auto attendant which allows flexible system responses to user selections. The auto attendant is fully programmable and supports a large variety of server responses including playing voice prompts or executing IVR scripts. All voice prompts are fully customizable.
Music-on-Hold
PBX Lite offers Music-on-Hold functionality for calls placed on-hold and for parked calls. Administrators can customize the played music by uploading to the server audio files recorded in Microsoft Windows wav format.
Conferencing* and Follow-me*
PBX Lite can be upgraded with conferencing and follow-me features. Conferencing allows users to create pubic and private rooms and conduct multi-party calls, record calls and perform real-time administration via phone or web. Follow-me allows users to receive calls at multiple numbers (e.g. home phone, business phone, cell phone etc.). When a third party calls a number with enabled follow-me functionality, PBX Lite will ring all numbers from a preset follow-me list either simultaneously or sequentially until the call is either picked up or transferred to voicemail.

Tornado M5 is a low cost, feature rich IP phone designed to meet the growing communication needs of consumers and small and medium businesses. With complete set of IP Centrex/PBX features, Tornado M5 is a cost-effective alternative to expensive PBX systems. Utilizing Voice-over-IP and Peer-to-Peer technology, the product enables businesses to substantially reduce the cost of long distance/international calls and to cost-effectively scale their telephone systems as their communication needs grow.
Standalone IP Centrex/PBX Functionality
Tornado M5 IP Phone fully supports IP Centrex/PBX features without the need to interact with a central server (i.e. such features are supported internally). The device offers DID, Caller ID, Speed 2-digit Dialing, Anonymous Call Rejection, Call Forward, Call Return, 3-way Conferencing and many other IP Centrex features.
Integrated Voicemail System
Tornado M5 IP Phone comes with integrated voicemail system which can accept and record up to 80 calls/messages. Unlike traditional PBX systems which store voicemails in a central server/location, Tornado M5 stores messages locally and can make them available to users even in cases when the service provider’s network is unavailable.
Auto Peer Discovery
Tornado M5 IP Phone can automatically discover its peers located within the same local area network (LAN). Such functionality allows LAN users to talk directly with each other without the need to use third party servers such as Registrars, Proxies, or Gateways.
Automated Device Provisioning
As an alternative to manual setup, Tornado M5 allows automated provisioning through a TFTP server. Such feature enables service providers to perform large scale remote configuration from a central location. For increased security during device provisioning, Tornado M5 supports MD5 encryption.
Calling Card IVR Support
Tornado M5 IP Phone can function as a stand-alone calling card platform via its built-in support for calling card IVR. Such functionality enables Tornado M5 to ask users for their PIN numbers once they pick up the handset and for a destination number upon successful authentication. Actual authentication and call billing of users is done automatically on the SIP proxy level.
Customizable Distinctive Ring Tones
Tornado M5 IP Phone can play distinctive ring tones based on the Caller ID of the calling party so that users can distinguish who is calling them. The device supports 5 system ring tones and up to 16 custom ones that can be uploaded via the phone web console.
Advanced SIP Support
Tornado M5 IP Phone supports all types of SIP Registrar, Proxy, and Outbound Proxy servers to facilitate easy integration. The device uses secure MD5 or regular authentication to fit the requirements of any SIP environment.
Support for Multiple Call Routes
Tornado M5 IP Phone can route calls to multiple end points depending on the prefix of the dialed number. Such functionality enables users to additionally lower call costs by sending calls to providers that offer the lowest rates for a given area/country code.
Route Failover Support
Tornado M5 IP Phone offers improved operation via the integrated failover support. The device can be setup to reroute calls to alternative Registrar and Outbound Proxy when the servers of the primary provider are temporarily unavailable.
Unified Messaging and Call Forwarding
Tornado M5 IP Phone offers improved user reach via its unified messaging and call forwarding capabilities. Upon receiving a voicemail, Tornado M5 can be configured to forward it to a preset email address. The device can also be programmed to forward calls to alternative numbers so that users never miss a call.

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 pbxlite 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.
