A single one-X Portal server can support multiple IP Offices when they are connected in a single IP Office Small Community Network (SCN). One-X Portal installs as a service with an integral web server. User and administrator access to one-X Portal is through a web browser to the one-X Portal service. The one-X Portal Service communicates to the IP Office using the IP Office Telephony Service Provider Interface (TSPI). TSPI is configured through the IP Office security settings.
