3.) Flexible Line Size - Innovative Modular hardware and software design allows from 64 ports up to
1020 ports in a main plus remote environment. Modularity gives the system the ability to expand
from its minimum configuration to its maximum capacity as the need arises. This unique expansion
capability allows the system to grow in a cost affective manner as the user requirements expand.
Your initial system investment is protected through growth capability.
4.) Energy Saving and Space Savings - Through employment of state-of-the-art technology in the
system circuitry design, NEC has been able to reduce power consumption. As a result, the current
consumption of the system has been reduced to 50% of that of any conventional electronic PBX
systems. This energy saving oriented system design allows for the use of much smaller capacity
main power equipment and air conditioning equipment. In parallel with the energy savings, the
space requirement for the system has been reduced to one third when compared with that of a
conventional electronic PBX system.
5.) Building Block Configuration - In a conventional switching system, various kinds of equipment
are mounted in a cabinet group and are connected to each other by use of connecting cables. The
UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS, however, uses a building block modular design. When installing the
system, the required blocks are placed on top of each other in a building block formation and
interconnected by round bus cables.
6.) Flexible Interface Ports - The UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS employs a Universal Port architecture
that has the flexibility to accommodate station terminal equipment, trunks and adjunct processors.
This universality allows the UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS to optimize use of slot space and lower
expansion costs.
7.) High Reliability - The UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS is designed and manufactured to provide the
highest level of system reliability. The UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS is designed with such features as:
remote maintenance, distributed call processing, error-correcting memory, battery backup, and
automatic system alarm indications to insure unsurpassed reliability. Only the finest components
have been used. In addition, through the employment of LSI and custom LSI and VLSI technology,
the number of component parts has been greatly reduced, thus lessening possible failures and
insuring continuous operation.
8.) Intelligent Attendant Console - The UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS attendant console, SN716 Desk
Console, is a compact, desktop unit equipped with non-locking keys, Light Emitting Diodes, and a 4
x 40 character Liquid Crystal Display. The LED’s provide continuous information relative to the
status of calls in progress. The display provides station and trunk identification, class of service and
the number of calls waiting. The LCD changes with different call states and instructs the user which
Multifunction keys are available for each state. Keys such as Busy Verify, DND Override, etc. only
appear when needed. The Multi-function Keys reduce the number of different buttons and greatly
simply operation.
