The VCX IP Telephony Solution (referred to in this guide as the VCX
system) merges telephony with networking by delivering business
telephone service over a data network.
VCX servers run the VCX operating system and host software
components such as the Call Processor, VCX applications (such as IP
Messaging), and configuration databases. SIP-enabled endpoints include
VCX telephones and gateways which provide user access to the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)
VCX system components can be installed in different configurations
