KEY BENEFITS

and desktop sharing—to improve collaboration and enhance productivity.
Without additional costs, the Client can be used in conjunction with any
licensed 3Com IP phone. 
Unified messaging, also a standard feature of a VCX Connect system,
offers voicemail/email integration so that users can efficiently retrieve,
review and respond to messages. Workers can access voicemail messages
whenever they check their email box. In addition, they can receive
faxes as email attachments, unifying all messages into a single inbox. 
PAY AS YOU GROW
VCX Connect comes complete with 25 user licenses for both phones and
unified messaging. Increasing the number of users up to the maximum
supported by the system involves simply purchasing additional licenses.
VCX Connect 100 systems support up to 100 users and VCX Connect 200,
up to 250 users. Though most users will prefer a 3Com desktop phone,
mobile workers may only need a softphone installed on their laptop. In
addition, PSTN connectivity is supported by a modular range of VoIP
gateways that allows expansion in increments as few as two additional
analog channels or, where required, an additional T1/E1 module for 24/30
additional channels.
ENSURE HIGH AVAILABILITY
VCX Connect systems offer a variety of options for ensuring resiliency.
Optional redundant power supplies and redundant disks (RAID) ensure
business continuity in the event of a VCX Connect component failure.
Additionally, both VCX Connect 100 and VCX Connect 200 platforms
can be supplemented with a backup server providing full application
redundancy. In this type of configuration, the secondary server can also
be located at a different site for full geographic redundancy. Because
the servers continually communicate configuration changes with each
other, should the worst happen, the secondary server can immediately
and seamlessly manage all VCX system services. Similarly, since 3Com
phones and gateways are automatically configured with the information
required to locate and use the backup server, highly available commu-
nications across the organization is assured.
SIMPLIFY DEPLOYMENT AND USE WITH OPEN STANDARDS 
Support of the SIP standard lets VCX Connect systems integrate with
multiple devices and applications to create a unified communications
environment. This budget- and resource-stretching flexibility is an
extension of 3Com’s early commitment to standards-based technology—
the company was the first to market a SIP-based IP PBX. And since
becoming a founding member of the SIP Forum in 2000, 3Com has 
continued to promote open standards, enthusiastically supporting inter-
operability with third-party vendors through the 3Com Open Network
Program. Information on Program membership and tested third-party
solutions is available at

ENJOY MEDIA-RICH COLLABORATION
VCX Connect solutions can be enhanced with the optional 3Com VCX IP
Conferencing and Presence modules that enable remote collaboration with
any combination of voice, video and desktop sharing services. When
combined with the powerful capabilities of the 3Com Convergence Client,
they can be used to view a colleague’s online availability status and for
quick click-to-IM or click-to-call contact—all from a user’s PC. The Client
also lets users dial contacts from their desktop phone using information
