Kerio Operator 1.2 gains analogue line support

Business IT - Technology

An upgrade to the Kerio Operator IP PBX server delivers support for analogue phone lines plus some extra features that are commonly found on small business phone systems.

Operator is Kerio's Asterisk-based IP PBX system, server, available as software only or as a complete appliance.

Kerio Operator 1.2 is based on Asterisk 1.8, provides support for conventional analogue phone lines, offers call pickup, and supports the Busy Lamp Field feature of certain handsets.

James Gudeli, vice president of business development, told iTWire that the switch to Asterisk 1.8 was "an under the hood feature" and that the company only uses long term support versions, hence the jump from Asterisk 1.4 to 1.8.

Analogue line support requires the Digium TDM 410 interface card, which Mr Gudeli described as the most popular of its kind. Up to four lines can be handled by one card.

While analogue lines are most commonly selected for backup purposes, he noted that there are places where analogue lines are cheaper than the broadband connections needed for VoIP.
