4.2 be.IP swift as IP router with separate ISDN
telephone system
You already operate an ISDN telephone system, but want to switch to
an All-IP connection and therefore need a device that connects your
ALL-IP connection to your existing infrastructure.
In this case, the be.IP swift works as a so-called media gateway that
translates telephone calls transmitted from a separate system to the
All-IP infrastructure. For this purpose, you may have to switch the
operation mode of your be.IP swift to operation as a media gateway.
Please refer to the instructions in the section
Changing the Operation

4.3 Changing the operation mode

You can use the be.IP swift in one of two different operation modes:
As a PBX, be.IP swift provides a wide range of different telephony
functions itself, while a so-called media gateway serves primarily as
a switching point for switching between different target Interfaces
(ISDN, analog, or IP) and a purely IP-based connection. Extensive
telephony functions can then be provided by the telephone system
that already exists in your network. So if you are already operating
a telephone system with your own customized configuration, using
be.IP swift as a media gateway can greatly simplify the transition to
a purely IP-based connection.
Note
Your settings are retained when you switch between operation
modes, so you do not have to reconfigure them when you switch
again. Likewise, when you first change the operation mode, all relevant
settings are transferred to the new operation mode.
