The small office or home office (SoHo) is a significant form of business. With generally somewhere between one and five employees,
SoHo holds a considerable position in business numbers in Australia and is often the birthplace of the larger businesses of tomorrow.
Being small, economy and efficiency are important considerations for the SoHo. This is applicable to all capital expenditure and in particular the lifeline of small business
- its telephone system.
The Hybrex G1E is ideally suited to the SoHo for a number of reasons,
the main ones being it offers a considerable range of functionality right out of the box, whilst being eminently affordable.
The full list of G1E features is available. Features particularly relevant to SoHo are listed below : |

- The G1E-36 Base Cofiguration covers your primary needs :
The standard G1E base configuration is 4 PSTN trunk ports, 8 digital station ports for keyphones,
and 4 analogue station ports for single line telephones, fax, and cordless phones / answering machines.
Also integrated in the base configuration are system features such as:
- Caller Line Identification (CLI), where supplied by your Telco, is passed to every station port
so CLI enabled devices display your callers number. Caller ID is also shown for any intercom call.
- Two minute recordable message memory so your own company promotional message can be played to your callers in place of
Music on Hold.
- One minute segmented recordable message memory for the short messages used in call handling where Auto Attendant/Direct
Inwards System Access (DISA) or Operator Overflow/ACD features are used.
- Calls can be picked up at any extension keeping your communication options flexible.
- Call Waiting facilities on PSTN trunks from your Telco can be used to expand your incoming call versatility.
- Connect your Fax line and machine to the G1E and optimise its use by configuring the Fax line for use as an overflow
facility for outgoing calls.
- DUET capability will be available soon enabling further reduction in outgoing costs.
- Expandability Options for versatility :
The G1E has a range of expansion options:
- Trunk expansion : All common forms of trunking are available - PSTN, ISDN Basic Rate (BRA), VoIP trunks for todays convergent networks.
The G1E has two trunk card/module positions. PSTN modules comprise 4 trunks, ISDN BRA modules comprise 6 trunks, and VoIP modules comprise 3 or 4 trunks.
This means you can option the G1E in a number of ways to suit your needs. For example with two ISDN modules installed there would be 12 trunks available, Any combination of modules can be used.
- Station expansion: The G1E has two extra station card/module positions. Digital station cards comprise 8 ports. Analogue station modules comprise 8 ports.
In the same way as the trunk options extra modules can be added to suit your needs. For example an extra module of each type would allow the maximum number of stations as 16 digital + 12 analogue.
Any combination of modules can be used.
- Choice of handsets: Whilst the Hybrex DK6 is the prefered handset for G1E, the DK2 and DK3 are also suitable so a range of user preferences are satisfied.
