Installing PABX systems from scratch or relocating your business phone system

It is important to remember that the move of a PABX switchboard is complex and must be planned many months in advance to ensure the necessary infrastructure is in place and that your installation or relocation proceeds smoothly with minimal service interruption. 

The specific tasks and infrastructure to be in place vary based on the type of PBX phone system (cloud PBX system, analogue PBX system, or hybrid PBX system) you are installing or relocating. We’ll cover the different considerations to keep in mind when installing the different types of office phone systems from scratch or reinstalling your PBX system.

Considerations for cloud PBX system installations

Cloud PBX systems rely on your internet data connection instead of analogue landlines which makes it easier to install or reinstall this phone system. Hosted PBX systems require minimal hardware and primarily depend on your network. Voice communications can be managed using VoIP technology and softphone applications on smartphones and desktop computers or laptops or IP handsets depending on your needs.  Learn more about fresh hosted PBX installations or reinstalling a cloud PBX system.

Considerations for traditional PBX phone system installations

Traditional analogue phone systems that rely on copper landlines are more cumbersome to install and reinstall at new premises.  In both cases, factors such as number porting and hardware installation (including main units, cabling, handsets and more ) need to be planned in advance. Learn more about fresh analogue phone system installations or reinstalling an analogue phone system.

Considerations for hybrid PBX installations

Hybrid PBX phone systems or IP PBX systems are essentially traditional on-premise PBX systems that can connect to both analogue lines and VoIP lines.

When installing or reinstalling a hybrid PABX installation, aspects of setting up an analogue phone system and cloud hosted phone system need to be considered. This may relate to number porting, PBX and network hardware installation and more.

PABX Documentation

All new Telkom PABX connections require the completion of a Telkom SF71 form, this ensures that Telkom is happy with the cutover of their infrastructure to your PABX hardware. Other documentation may include the Premicell application forms and/or VoIP application forms.

It is also important to check that landlords agree to fibre trenching/mounting of dishes in the event of a microwave option and any other civil work required to install connectivity at your site.
