			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="black-box">
A SIP trunk is a service offered by an ITSP to use SIP to set up communications between the IP-PBX and the ITSP.  A trunk includes multiple voice sessions &#8211; as many as the business needs. While some see SIP as just voice, SIP trunking can also serve as the starting point for the entire breadth of realtime communications possible with the sip protocol, including instant messaging, presence applications, white boarding and application sharing.
</div>
<p><span id="more-689"></span></p>
<p><img title="More..." src="http://vcmnetworks.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" alt="" /><object width="624" height="360" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=29976043&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=29976043&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0" /></object></p>
<h3>Quick Return on Investment</h3>
<p>The potential for rapid return on investment is a key driver of SIP trunk deployments. However, maximum return on investment can be achieved when you extend VoIP outside the corporate LAN. In terms of infrastructure purchases, SIP trunks provide and immediate costs-savings. A typical no-frills telephone line from the local telephone company will cost anywhere from $48 to $68 per month plus taxes. A SIP trunk will cost anywhere from $6 to $29 per month depending on features selected and you pay no taxes.</p>
<p>There are 3 components necessary to successfully install SIP trunks. For larger enterprises with over 10 SIP trunks that require DID&#8217;s: a Hybrid/IP PBX with a SIP enabled trunk side, an enterprise edge device understanding SIP and the Internet Telephony SIP Service Provider (ITSP).  For smaller deployments with less than 10 lines on average that do not require DID&#8217;s, some ITSP’s deliver SIP trunks without needing an enterprise edge device.</p>
<div class="custom-image alignleft light" style="width:600px;height:400px">
<a href="http://vcmnetworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Screen-shot-2011-10-01-at-7.13.51-PM.png" title="SIP Diagram" data-gal="lightbox" style="width: 600px; height: 400px" class="autoload hover" data-image_url="http://vcmnetworks.com/wp-content/themes/hypax/thumb.php?src=http://vcmnetworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Screen-shot-2011-10-01-at-7.13.51-PM.png&amp;a=c&amp;w=600&amp;h=400&amp;q=80"></a></div>
<p>An argument commonly heard is that SIP trunking is not as reliable as the traditional POTS line. It is true that Internet connections are more dependent on electrical power, and POTS lines may have a better average uptime. However, telephony systems also rely on electrical power, so a policy with UPS&#8217;s that correspond to the desired uptime is a must. Furthermore a POTS line, when down, is truly dead. With SIP trunks alternative backup solutions are available.</p>
<p>SIP trunking extends the notion of seamless connectivity within a business to customers, remote employees, and anyone working outside the corporate network. This is the next evolution of telecommunications &#8211; we look forward to sharing it with you.</p>
<h3 class="line-heading">
Benefits<br />

<ul class="bullet-list-blue list-format">
<li>Eliminates costly PRI&#8217;s and POTS lines</li>
<li>No need to invest in PSTN gateways and additional line cards as you grow</li>
<li>Optimal utilization of bandwidth by delivering both data and voice in the same connection</li>
<li>Flexible termination of calls to preferred providers</li>
<li>Web interface provides easy administration</li>
<li>Redundancy with multiple service providers and links</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="black-box">
The fax server is a dedicated appliance that receives and sends faxes from a central location and saves/distributes them as images. It can be configured to print them or deliver them many different ways. In the case of inbound faxes the image can be automatically converted to an Adobe Acrobat Reader document (.pdf) and attached to an email, which is then delivered to the correct recipient in your office. A different delivery method may include placing the inbound fax image on a network share that is owned by someone and is access controlled to make it private – everyone having their own fax machine right there on their computer. Everything stored electronically as files – print them only if you need to, otherwise import the files into your industry specific software for storage and referencing again later or even open them in a PDF editor and write notes directly on the document! Save the changes and store the fax – without ever printing a thing.
</div>

<p>Increasingly, fax servers forgo telephone lines entirely in favor of “Fax over IP”, which sends faxes over an IP network. Using Fax over IP can save a company significant costs, as the company no longer needs to pay for multiple dedicated telephone lines and multiple physical fax machines.</p>
<h3>True Benefits</h3>
<p>Some benefits of having a fax server are obvious for example paper savings, toner savings, time savings and lower traffic congestion at the office fax machine.  Other benefits are being able to print or reprint fax only when needed and the often overlooked ability save faxes the same way you save the other data your business produces – back it all up!  When you have a fax server the faxes received are just image files that can be stored and referenced later;  back them up the same way you’re already backing your important data – tape, optical or removable disk, on-site or off-site – add them to your current backup solution!</p>
<p>The FaxFinder® fax server is an all-in-one fax server that provides distributed faxing capabilities, over a WAN, from a corporate office to small remote offices as well as to field sales people. Inbound faxes are converted to PDF or TIFF files and delivered to a recipient’s in-box or a network folder, or printed on a network printer. Outbound faxes can be sent by web client or through Microsoft® Office applications. The FaxFinder provides secure, convenient faxing for LAN users offering a high degree of privacy for both the sender and recipient.</p>
<h3 class="line-heading">
Family Features<br />
</h3>
<ul class="bullet-list-blue list-format">
<li>Securely send faxes in a variety of ways: Clientless fax transmission via T.37 “e-mail-to-fax” and web form, send fax client compatible with Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2008 and 2003, and Microsoft Office applications</li>
