Vertex Caller ID for VoIP. Voice over Internet Protocol
Select the numbers of lines and qty
Available 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15 and 20 lines
Collects all Inbound and Outbound call information on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone traffic. The output data format matches our Whozz Calling? analog devices, providing software compatibility across product lines.
This device is a passive network packet sniffer or "network tap". All VoIP traffic of interest flows through the unit, while circuitry connected in parallel with the Ethernet transmit and receive pairs inspect data packets. This failsafe approach provides uninterrupted voice transmission, regardless of whether the Vertex is operational.
The Vertex is designed to work only with standard, non-encrypted, SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) signaling from the VoIP provider. Although most VoIP providers use unencrypted SIP, please verify with your provider before ordering.
Pricing is licensed based. Caller ID will be displayed for the licensed number of simultaneous calls (voice channels) in progress. For example, a Vertex with a 2 channel license unit will report Caller ID on only the first 2 calls.

Connections
The Vertex has 2 Ethernet VoIP Bridge Ports in order to monitor VoIP traffic. The Vertex should be connected such that all VoIP traffic flows through these Bridge ports. The unit analyzes the VoIP packets and sends call records out via an Ethernet output port or Serial port.
The overwhelming majority of VoIP installations are referred to as Cloud, Cloud Hosted, or a Hosted PBX. These providers simply send customer phones which are then connected to the local area network. All configuration, setup, switching, voice mail, automated attendant, call cueing, and call control is performed by the service provider's host computer in the cloud. Vertex units are designed for Hosted VoIP, but will work with the majority of Managed applications using SIP trunks.
Installation instructions and diagrams are included for various architectures and free technical support is available during the warranty period.
