to manage and monitor their telephony. To find out more about call management, please click on the link below.

or operate basic MicrosoftTM packages, you almost certainly have sufficient expertise. In any case, we also
provide a friendly techinical support service to help you.
4. What happens if the power fails? Whilst power cuts are relatively brief and infrequent
in the UK, Internet calling, like cordless phones, requires a power supply. One way to resolve this is to get a Universal
Power Supply (battery backup) connected to one essential terminal, perhaps the receptionist's, if you want to retain a
minimal level of VoIP service to your business during power cuts.
In order to keep the VoIP line working for as long as possible during a power cut, only plug small (and necessary) electronic
items into you UPS. The necessary items are your DSL/cable modem, your router and your computer.
