How to Upgrade TDM PBX
TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) is a type of Private Branch Exchange (PBX) used by organizations to switch telephones over physical lines. A PBX lets an organization manage its own internal phone network, routing calls across the enterprise and managing call transfers and simultaneous ringing of different phones in a call center. TDM PBXs are physical devices released by the Adtran corporation and do not follow the industry-standard SIP routing protocol. They can be managed by a serial connection to a console port where it can be upraded with a single command.
