• Easy to install and manage via webbrowser based configuration interface:

Thanks to the webbrowser based configuration interface VoIP Phone Systems are transparent and easy to understand and use, not like most of the non-IP PBX systems, which are so called "black boxes", meaning that they are closed systems. These "black boxes" can not be configured by simple users, just by the professionals who created them.
