CHAPTER 1
Introduction
Welcome to the NexPath Telephony Server! The NexPath Telephony Server is a complete integrated tele-
phone system, including switching (or PBX-type functions), voice mail, automated attendant, automated call
distribution (or ACD), and network access and administration. This unique solution to small company tele-
phone systems allows you to have most if not all of the features of a large company PBX at a fraction of the
cost of these larger systems.
In fact, in many ways the NexPath Telephony Server goes beyond the functionality of most traditional tele-
phone systems. The NexPath Telephony Server was the first web-enabled telephone system when it was
introduced in late 1996. It has unique features not commonly found on larger systems, such as allowing you
to perform functions like picking up a ringing phone from any other phone, checking and retrieving your
voice mail from any desktop computer in the building or on the Internet, ring groups within call distribution
groups, and many other features that are unique to NexPath.
