Installation

Think Of AVAD As Your “In-House” Telecom Department

We assign a Dedicated Support Team to every customer. This team is responsible for coordinating all aspects of the installation and to ensure that your system functions as expected when launched.

Step: 1: System Design Requirements

In order to create a customized phone system, we have to know what you want. This involves conversations with the Business VoIP Specialist from your Dedicated Support Team. We need information about out how you would want your new system configured to ensure the new system meets your requirements.

During these initial meetings, we also inform you of some of the new features of your system that you may not be aware of and ways that you can incorporate these features into your system if you choose.

Our job is to help your company maximize the benefits of our service

Moving to a new phone system is a perfect time to “re-engineer” your company’s call flows. This is especially true with our solution since you can “live test” your system without interrupting your existing phone system.

Many companies choose to simply re-create their existing phone system using our solution, and this is perfectly acceptable. Or, we can show you ways to use the features included in your new phone system to increase productivity, save money, improve customer service, or enhance your sales process.

Your Dedicated Business VoIP Specialist is there to guide you through this process and offer suggestions about ways you can use our Hosted VoIP phone system to improve your calling experience.

Step 2: Select Your Phone System Components

Because our solution is so flexible and has many customization options, it can be confusing, if you did not have a “Dedicated Business VoIP Specialist” assigned to your account. But you do, and they will help you make the right choices and configure your system so that your business has a phone system that works for and not against your business.

Components Of Your Hosted VoIP Phone System

  • VoIP Hardware (IP Phone Sets & VoIP Router)
  • PBX Components (Auto-Attendant, Hunt Group, Paging etc.)
  • Business VoIP Calling Plans
  • IP Phone Sets (1-Year Guarantee)

We only use the best IP phones on the market. Primarily we use either Polycom or Cisco IP phones.

You can purchase all of the IP Hardware you will need for your phone system directly from AVAD. The standard manufacturer guarantee is 90-days, We increase the guarantee on the equipment you purchase from us to 1-year. If anything should go wrong with your equipment during the first year, we will ship a replacement to you free of charge, shipping included.

Simple Set Up: IP Phones Are “Plug and Play”

The phones arrive at your offices pre-configured. To set up an IP Phone, all you need to do is give the correct phone to each employee, attach to your network with the supplied ethernet cable and plug the phone into the power outlet.

As soon as the power goes on the phone is ready to use. Each phone will have the correct extension, phone number, voice mailbox and be assigned to the appropriate ring group (if any) when they arrive at your office.

The “plug and play” feature makes it very easy to change your office layout or move to a new office location. To move your phone system, all you need to do is to move the IP phone sets to their new location and plug them in.

PBX Components

PBX components are pieces of software that reside on our servers that create your business phone system. An example of a PBX service is an Auto-Attendant, Hunt Groups, Overhead Paging, etc. They connect all the phones in your organization into a business phone system.

You choose which services you need and we do the rest. If you should need to make a change, just tell us we will make the change.

Step 3: Network Assessment
