A private branch exchange (PBX) is a telephone exchange for a particular business. A PBX system connects incoming telephone lines to a set of extensions inside a business.
VOIP PBX or IP is a PBX system that can handle calls on an IP network. It supports outbound connection to a SIP trunk or regular trunk; it also supports IP extensions. Most VOIP services provide regular telephone numbers to allow calls from landline or cell phones. The person who calls these numbers usually cannot tell the difference whether the call is make to a VOIP service or traditional PSTN service.

Call logs are a powerful tool for agents to be more productive and efficient when trying to find callers and missed calls. In the Agent Dashboard™, the call log is displayed on the first page that agents see when they log in, with missed calls highlighted.
Rather than searching for a caller in the CRM, agents can easily call back someone by viewing the call log. Once they find who they're looking for, they can simply click on the entry in the log to call back.
In the call log, every call made and received will contain the caller ID, time of call, and date of the call. The caller ID is a link that agents can click on to automatically call the number.
The total number of calls made and received by your business PBX that day is displayed in the Agent Dashboard™ main page. Clicking on the total number of calls will show a day-by-day report of total calls.
Missed calls appear in red to make sure agents can find the calls that no one answered easily. Agents can dial the missed calls immediately on the dialpad or schedule a call back in the Agent Dashboard™ in a few clicks.
The call log will also display call duration and which agent picked up the call after it was routed by the Auto Attendant. Viewing these calls logs as a manager is an easy way to quickly gauge agent productivity and efficiency.
After a call ends, if agents need to view the caller information again, they can view the call log to access the CRM record instead of trying to remember who called and guessing which record is the correct one.
Call logs track daily call activity and will display calls starting from midnight of that day. Previous call logs can be viewed by clicking the view more button at the bottom of the page.
Calls are in chronological order and are updated instantly, so agents can see who they spoke to immediately after the call ends.
