1.2 Software components
SwyxServer
SwyxServer manages, controls and monitors all functions and services of the SwyxWare company telephony. Its configuration level in relation to the maximum number of subscribers and the optimal functions determines the capability of the overall system.
SwyxWare Administration
The SwyxWare Administration is handled with a supplementary module (snap-in) to the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) and enables easy setup and management of SwyxServer and all further SwyxWare components.
Number Mapping and locations
The concept of Number Mapping and the property "Location", both of users and of trunk groups, enable extensive flexible arrangement of the internal number scheme.
Profiles
With the call permissions, you can define the options for users to make calls. Forwarding of calls via trunk groups can likewise be restricted with the help of the call permissions
Feature profiles define the usage of further SwyxWare functions. Administration profiles define different levels of administration options.
Trunk and Trunk Groups
"Trunk" denotes a connection to another network, e.g. the public telephone network. A connection to another network can be e.g. an "ISDN trunk", a connection to the Internet an "SIP trunk". Connections or trunks of the same type are combined to form groups. The trunks of a trunk group then have the same properties (such as the same connection protocol or the same rights parameters). The trunks of a trunk group are thus primarily "capacity expansions" from the user's point of view, with no further differences for their use. A trunk must always be a member of a trunk group.
Routing Table
Different trunk groups can be differently prioritized. The result is e.g. that calls are handled with preference given to a server-server connection. If this is not available, a lower-priority path is chosen, e.g. an ISDN trunk.
SwyxIt! Classic
SwyxIt! Classic is the high-performance telephone for your Windows PC. Due to its freely configurable user interface, SwyxIt! Classic can easily be customized to meet your personal needs. The call takes place with a handset (usually with a USB cable attached to the PC) or a headset.
Call Routing Manager
Furthermore SwyxWare offers with the Call Routing Manager an appointment based call management to deliver incoming calls according to different criteria to a subscriber or a group of subscribers in different ways.
Software services
The SwyxWare installation further consists of a range of services, which are installed as separate processes together with the SwyxServer or on a separate server system, if this is desirable or advisable on capacity grounds. Such services are e.g.
SwyxGate
for the interface of the IP network to the public telephone network
SwyxPhoneManager
for controlling the SwyxPhone system telephone family
SwyxConferenceManager
for supplying telephone conferencing services
SwyxLinkManager
for operating coupled SwyxServers over a WAN connection and for linking SIP/ENUM connections
