3Com VCX Connect 100 Telephone System
Affordable, Reliable, Productivity-Enhancing IP Communications
3Com® VCX™ Connect 100 platforms offer organizations with up to 100 phone users an economical IP telephony and messaging solution that delivers powerful phone features and supports multimedia communications based on Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). The platform's practical design and affordability helps businesses replace antiquated PBXs with VoIP solutions that handle unified voicemail/email messaging (a standard feature), support a full range of IP phones and interoperate with the PSTN. Migration from legacy PBXs to cost-effective IP-based telephony is facilitated by numerous VoIP gateway options. In addition, redundant configuration options help ensure business continuity even in the event of power or network disruption.
Standard 3Com VCX Connect 100 features let users make calls with multimedia devices such as SIP-based video phones or software applications such as the 3Com Convergence Client that offers a rich set of communications capabilities, including instant messaging and desktop sharing. The platforms can be enhanced with optional 3Com VCX IP Conferencing and Presence modules to enable remote collaboration with any combination of voice, video, and desktop sharing services-without the expense of external services. When combined with the 3Com Convergence Client, the VCX Connect solution lets users view a colleague's online availability status and make quick contact from a PC via click-to-IM or click-to-call.
For enhanced availability, VCX Connect 100 platforms support an optional redundant RAID hard disk and/or a redundant power supply. For ultimate availability, a secondary VCX Connect 100 server can be co-located with the primary, or even deployed in another office on the same network to provide geographic redundancy.
Built-in integrated FXO and FXS analog gateway ports can be augmented with additional FXO, FXS and T1 modules for PSTN and legacy PBX connectivity.
Features

- Enhance collaboration with the sophisticated voice, video and instant messaging capabilities of the 3Com Convergence Client
- Support mobile workers or remote workers at branch offices with hotdesk and softphone communications
- Streamline migration to IP communications and provide PSTN connectivity with a range of VoIP gateways that allow expansion in increments of as few as two additional analog channels, or where required, by adding a T1/E1 module for 24/30 additional channels
- Leverage existing investment in analog phones while implementing a full set of PBX features
- Help ensure resiliency in the event of component failure with optional redundant disk (RAID)
- Ensure communications survivability via single site or distributed full geographical application and service redundancy with optional backup servers
- Streamline implementation based on tested compatibility with many third-party SIP devices
- Enhance business operations with single-line and multiline phone support and bridged extensions, as well as multiple system login levels that align with a division of system responsibilities

Non-technical personnel can make individual or system-wide changes with the click of a mouse, and as business needs evolve, the system can scale up to over 100 devices. Additional functionality can be added with practical incremental, key-coded software upgrades.
- Extend Connectivity Solutions
With a built-in analog gateway interface; the platform can connect up to four analog loop-start central office (CO) lines directly to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), reducing configuration time and its related expense. Additionally, the NBX V3000 Analog solution—in combination with an NBX Expansion Chassis—accommodates further communications options via T1/E1, PRI, analog and BRI trunking.
- Protect Investment with Multiple Protocol Support
The V3000 Analog platform with R6.0 or higher system software can operate in either of two modes: Standard NBX or SIP mode. Standard NBX mode utilizes the traditional protocol on which six generations of 3Com NBX applications have been built since 1998, while Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) mode allows the platform to communicate with third-party SIP-compliant devices and applications. 3Com's goal of ensuring its customers access to continuously evolving telecom standards, maximizes functionality and the return on investment (ROI) from NBX solutions.
- Increase Productivity with Built-in Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) Application
Call center hotline, help desk and telesales staff work more efficiently with NBX ACD software included in the V3000 Analog platform. Two agent licenses are packaged with each platform and additional licenses are available with key-code activation. Supervisors obtain real-time, up-to-the-minute vital statistics on call center performance via voice monitoring or on their computer screens with PC-based software.
