Appendix A: Getting Acquainted with Tenor CMS in the VoIP Network

Typical CMS Applications

Enterprise Network

The enterprise application is used whenever a Tenor CMS is going to be installed on to an existing voice line to provide IP calls between company locations. Additional features such as “hop-off” or leaky area calling may be used as well.

A typical enterprise network has two connection types: a line from the local PSTN to provide voice services to a PBX, and an IP connection between their offices for data services. The Tenor CMS provides both of these connections from a single chassis.

Several benefits to an Enterprise application include the following:

•Eliminates risk of sub-standard voice. The Autoswitch feature will send a call to the PSTN automatically if the CMS detects that the network may threaten the quality of the VoIP transmission.

•Eliminates the possibility of vendor “lock-in”. The Tenor CMS can be used with virtually any PBX and any routing architecture.

•Eliminates time and risk from a VoIP learning curve. A bypass feature enables your network staff to turn VoIP on or off at a moment’s notice, which significantly raises the comfort level that both Technical and Business Managers have any initial foray into VoIP implementation.
