Ip phones are the receivers or handsets you use... This can be purely software ( win, mac or linux) or real hardware phone. Aside from power supply, it needs a network connection. It will get its own ip address within your network.

Sa ip na pabx, it will depend on your hardware peripherals din... But the software ( asterisk etc) can pretty much handle the calls basta a na configure a yung hardware... If you ave the hardware to connect to a rj11 jack, or an E1 line... The pabx software can handle the calls...

Yung scenario na internet based ang incoming mo is if you dont have any other hardware installed to connect to your regular landline... Sa mga call centers i think thats the technology used... Internet connection with a huge bandwidth at sa internet na pinadadaan lahat ng tawag... Hiwalay pa ata yung mismong internet subscription and yung telco service that routes the landline calls to the internet...

If you dont have a connection to your lcal telco for calls, your ip pabx will pretty much be an intercom system sa office nyo... Yun nga lang walang outside calls...


Ang magic nito however... If you have relatives abroad... You can configure it in such a way that they can call you in your own ip pabx ( thru the internet ) ... Tipong may sarili ksng skype service... Hehe.
