IP-PBX KX-NS1000

Business Communications Server

Communication servers used for business should provide solutions to current real world business requirements, such as: simplifying and improving communications, lowering costs, improving productivity, supporting SOHOs and diversifying the workplace. They should do all of these while flexibly adapting to the way each organisation works.

The KX-NS1000 Business Communications Server by Panasonic is designed to deliver these solutions by integrating hardware and software components in a modular way, allowing you to tailor a communications system to your specific needs.

IP Networking Flexibility and Scalability

The KX-NS1000 fully supports IP, an open protocol for establishing real-time communication. Using IP effectively can result in compelling advantages such as improving user efficiency, and lowering communication costs.

One-look Networking
Controlling the Systems at Multiple Offices as a Single System

Panasonic?s One-look Networking is a system where a single KX-NS1000 works and provides PBX features even though two or more KX-NS series units are networked.
It is not necessary to provide additional servers. The system can be expanded easily via a web based maintenance console. One-look Networking provides a maximum of 16 sites, and the large capacity of the KX-NS1000 supports up to 1000 users.

One-look Networking Survivability
Reliable Backup System to Survive System Failures

With One-look Networking, the system can continue to operate even in the event of a failover due to system trouble with the master KX-NS1000. By specifying a backup master site, the backup master site will act as the master site temporarily to continue communication services when there is trouble with the master site.
This enables each site to continue operating independently. IP terminals only can also be registered to another PBX.

QSIG Networking Support
Build Systems for Up to 8000 Users

When the KX-NS1000 connects to existing PBXs such as the KX-TDE and KX-NCP via an ISDN private network or VoIP network (H.323), it is possible to flexibly increase capacity and provide QSIG features. QSIG networking is capable of supporting up to 8000 users and 17 or more sites on a network. It is not necessary to renew all PBX systems when the office population increases or a new branch is opened.

Built-in Media Relay Gateway
Remote Extension Setup

The Built-in Media Relay Gateway (MRG) of the KX-NS1000 enables you to install IP phones in locations distant from the office, such as the homes of teleworkers. By connecting with IP networking, IP phones*1 and DECT wireless systems*2 can be configured remotely and used as KX-NS1000 extensions. Furthermore, mobile workers using a software phone on a smartphone or PC can also use IP phones as extensions when they are away from the office.

*1 KX-NT500 series, KX-UT series, IP software phones, and third party SIP phones are supported.
*2 When using the KX-NS0154

Built-in Router
Easy Setup to Establish VPN Tunneling

The router function of the KX-NS1000 can be used to support VPN with networks. If One-look Networking is used, settings can be configured for all offices at a single site.
Also, since this can be achieved using activation keys, additional hardware is not required and you can establish secure connections at a low cost, even when communicating using a software phone on a smartphone.

IP Migration

By connecting an existing Panasonic PBX system with the KX-NS1000, you can efficiently make legacy lines and terminals more expandable and flexible. The KX-NS1000 enables you to add IP capacity and functionality to an existing Panasonic PBX system at a low cost.

Phased IP Migration While Utilizing Existing Equipment
IP Smart Migration

By connecting the KX-NS1000 to an existing Panasonic PBX*, you can expand IP trunks and terminals and utilize the Unified Messaging feature of the KX-NS1000. This is also recommended for KX-NS1000 users that want to use legacy trunks and terminals for flexible system expansion. You can also use the KX-NS1000 as a server for adding a voice mail function. Assisted migration to an IP system, according to your budget and needs, is also available.

* An existing PBX refers to a Panasonic KX-TDE series, KX-NCP series, or KX-TDA100/100D/200/600/620.

Preparing for Future IP Migration
Legacy Trunk Adaptor

Users that mainly use a legacy trunk (E1/PRI) but want to prepare for future IP migration can use trunk adaptors (KX-NS8188/KX-NS8290) for the KX-NS1000 to increase the maximum number of legacy lines available and enable you to use both legacy and IP trunks. Since the adaptors can be connected to a maximum of 16 units, trunks can be flexibly expanded according to your budget.

Unified Communication

The KX-NS1000 gives you great flexibility for managing messaging services. Voice and fax messages can be received using the built-in Unified Messaging system in a number of ways; as e-mail attachments, through the KX-NS1000 IMAP4 server, or using the Communication Assistant. This means you can listen to voice messages using their phone or PC, for maximum flexibility.
