Glossary
In the present documentation you'll meet the following terms:
PBX
A private branch exchange (PBX) is a telephone exchange that serves a particular business or office, as opposed to one that a common carrier or telephone company operates for many businesses or for the general public.
PBXs make connections among the internal telephones of a private organization—usually a business—and also connect them to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) via trunk lines.
Trunk
A trunk line is a circuit connecting telephone switchboards (or other switching equipment), as distinguished from local loop circuit which extends from telephone exchange switching equipment to individual telephones or information origination/termination equipment.
When dealing with a private branch exchange (PBX), trunk lines are the phone lines coming into the PBX from the telephone provider. This differentiates these incoming lines from extension lines that connect the PBX to (usually) individual phone sets.
Secure Call
A Secure Call is a voice connection which can't be wiretapped. It runs on the Voice Over IP (VoIP) communication protocol and can be used in two classification models:
The end to end provides the highest security level but can be used only between two equipped devices. The end to site provides a strong security level and can be used among two or more equipped devices and/or among SNOM 300 landline devices or also for connecting other non-secure PBX. In this case the call is secured in the to leg but is not secured on the to PBX one.
is the PBX committed to perform Secure Calls both end to end and end to site. It differs from a standard PBX for exposing just the Secure Call service to VoIP clients and can be connected to a standard PBX via SIP Trunks if configured accordingly.
is the VoIP client for Secure Calls connections. It has to be used along with and is deployed in two different models to perform two different secure models:
- Professional: used for end to end communications
- Enterprise: used for end to site communications
Because of the security model each one implements, the two versions can't communicate with each other. Plus, the Professional edition can only perform direct calls to another Professional Devices. On the other hand the Enterprise Edition can also perform Conference Calls and Three-Way Calls.
Conference Rooms
The Conference Room is the kind of call that more persons can partecipate. The conference calls are usually defined as "rooms", whose access can be limited by time settings or pass code.

Conference rooms can be accessed only by using Enterprise Edition. |
Conference Calls
Conference Call, as its name implies, is a call involving at least three users. It differs from Conference Room by the fact that Conference Call is one Secure Call at which third parties got invited. So it's one sort of dynamic conference room. All users invited are thus added to conversation in progress by either caller or callee.

Conference Calls can be accessed only by Enterprise Edition. |
SIP Accounts
The SIP Accounts are the users account on the
. Without configuring such accounts none can place or receive Secure Calls.Automatic Activation
The Automatic Activation is the way of create new users automatically without any need they interact with anybody. As from user's side the procedure is that he/she gets first an invite SMS or E-Mail useful to download the application
and then a configuration SMS or E-Mail which provides automatic configuration of the client itself. All the user has to do is to follow the links into both the Texts/E-mails and would go automatically on line.Secure Message
Secure Message is a text message that can be sent and received only by using and that shares the same communication infrastructure of Secure Call. The maximum length of each message is 160 character.
Provisioning
The Provisioning is the configuration needed for delivering both for the
application and its configuration and nowadays it's used by the Automatic Activation only.
