Quintum BX Series BX204 Specifications

Tenor 

BX VoIP MultiPath Switch

The Quintum® Tenor® BX MultiPath Switch offers enterprises using ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) lines an easy, cost

effective way to capitalize on the power of Voice over IP (VoIP). The Tenor integrates VoIP gateway functionality with its

unique intelligent call routing, MultiPath architecture, and QoS support all in one solution.

Enterprises can benefit from a variety of valuable applications such as PBX extension, remote office connectivity, long

distance consolidation and call centers. BX Series products can support either 2, 4 or 8 BRI lines.

Both versions of Tenor include the features that made Quintum the VoIP market value leader

• MultiPath architecture for easy integration with existing voice and data infrastructure, meaning little or no re-programming 

of the PBX, or upgrades are required and no need for special dialing plans.

• Transparent MultiPath Call Routing to intelligently route calls between the PBX, the PSTN, and the IP network to achieve 

the best combination of cost and quality. The Tenor can also route calls over IP to reduce costs, and then transparently "hop 

off" to the PSTN, to reach off-net locations. 

• Auto Provisioning interface allows the Tenor solution to be deployed worldwide, and configured automatically by acquiring 

the configuration information from a central server, upon installation. The same auto-provisioning capability allows the Tenor 

to be configured from a VoIP application, thus supporting a single user interface between the VoIP application and the Tenor 

configuration.

•

Unified Communications Proxy (UCP) provides 'Any to Any' connectivity: SIP - SIP, TDM - TDM and SIP - TDM, for easy 

integration with any network.

• Universal Dial Plan that provides a programmable dial plan so Tenor can be integrated into any network environment. 

• PacketSaver™ Technology multiplexing to reduce bandwidth consumption by up to 57% by combining voice packets 

from multiple calls into a single packet. 

• NATAccess™ to allow Tenor to operate behind NAT firewalls to translate internal IP addresses into public addresses when a 

VoIP call is established with an outside party.  

•

Remote Management for anywhere, anytime remote management even behind NAT firewalls with Quintum's Remote 

Management Session Server.
