Managing your open source telecommunication needs has never been easier than with Rhino products. Ceros provides instant credibility to your Value Added Reseller (VAR) product line, by providing an unmarked PC chassis that is simply customized by editing a simple six line by 40 character text file, plus your company graphical logo in BMP format. The graphic and text in the file is displayed on the LCD at all times for your customers to visually identify your own branded PBX product.

Knowing that Rhino products are ready to perform right out of the box means that you can spend more time developing important customer relationships. Ceros comes preloaded with Linux and Asterisk, along with all the necessary configurations for the specific installed Rhino hardware. All that is needed is to customize extensions and other outside system environment configurations.

The Ceros chassis was designed with VARs in mind. The chassis comes with no external markings or silk screening, and comes shipped in two cartons -- an outside carton that can be discarded so that a pristine, inside carton can be cleanly shipped to your end customer.

Rhino Equipment Corp. offers you a complete line of low cost PCI plug-in cards including Single T1/E1, Dual T1/E1, Quad T1/E1, Quad FXO analog, Octal FXS/FXO and 24-port analog mixed mode analog interfaces. And don't forget the full line of Rhino Channel Bank products, for large scale analog FXS or FXO applications.

Rhino designed products are tough. In the rare case of trouble, Rhino's technical support staff are ready to give you the support you need, when you need it. Rhino's 5-year, limited warranty means that you can be confident that Rhino will always work hard in your Open Source Telephony application.
