      • Switch to CLASSOUND to provide a more modern service

To enable FAX/SMS server, proceed as follows:

...

  • Multisite environment: you need to enable flawless communication between different offices of the company

  • Failover / redundancy or load sharing: one PBX is the primary, another PBX is the secondary (backup PBX), which works in idle mode and receives all the updates from the primary PBX; in case of the primary PBX failure, the secondary PBX takes on, ensuring the continuity of the service. In this case all the devices have a double SIP registration (both to the Primary and the Secondary PBX). Read the guide: Failover Guide.

Wildix system supports Hybrid scenarios, where Hardware, Cloud and Virtual PBXs can be connected in the same WMS Network.

...

Note

Note: a new FW notification is not indicated for BRI/ PRI media gateways. To update their firmware, upgrade your PBX to the latest version. Within half an hour after the procedure is over, media gateways are automatically updated.

An example of Kite implementation can be found here: www.wildix.com/contacts.

One of the advantages of Kite is that it’s fully integrated into the Wildix telephony system:

  • Chat requests are managed by PBX users via Wildix Collaboration interface

  • Audio calls can be answered from any Wildix devices (WP, W-AIR, mobile apps, Collaboration)

  • Wildix Kite uses a separate Dialplan which makes it easy to customize the service

  • Chat requests and calls from Kite service can be routed to separate call agents or to call groups
