The Linksys Voice System (LVS) is an affordable, feature-rich, multi-line voice over IP (VoIP) telephone
system that provides sophisticated communication services to small business users . The LVS uses
standard TCP/IP protocols and can provide global connectivity through any Internet Telephony
Service Provider (ITSP) that supports Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) .
The IP PBX system (SPA9000) provides powerful business-class services on a small business budget .
The system capitalizes on VoIP service savings for long distance outbound and toll-free inbound
calling . Features include Auto Attendant, shared line appearances, configurable call routing, multiple
DID numbers per VoIP line, call hunting (sequential, round robin, random), call park/unpark, call
transfer, call forward, group paging, call pick-up, music on hold, "find me" service, Do Not Disturb,
call hold, call waiting, and more . Administrative tasks can be performed using an Interactive Voice
Response system or a built-in Web Server .
With the optional SPA400 PSTN Gateway, the LVS provides full inter-connectivity with the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) . Thus, a small business can maintain its legacy PSTN lines and
existing telephone numbers . The SPA400 also provides an integrated local voice mail server for up to
32 individual mail boxes .
