UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS

In the modern information-based economy, timely access to accurate information is an essential resource for every successful organization. In many cases it is the primary commodity being created, bought, or sold and anything less than the best communication system puts your organization at a disadvantage. The complex interconnections of voice, print, and data communications demand a powerful but elegant system capable of taking you through the 21st century.

The UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS (Internet Protocol Server) is a full-featured IP based communications system providing a rich feature set with pure Voice over IP (VoIP) communications (peer to peer connections), across corporate Local and Wide Area Networks (LAN and WAN). DtermIP telephones are designed to provide a converged infrastructure at the desktop, with a 100 Base T Ethernet connection to the LAN and built-in hub for a PC connection to the telephone itself. The system can provide peer-to-peer connections between DtermIP telephones with voice compression, offering existing Dterm Series i telephone features. On the WAN side, the system can provide peer-to-peer connections over IP networks with the voice compression, on a CCIS basis (CCIS over IP) or Remote PIM (Remote PIM over IP).

The UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS can provide legacy station/trunk interfaces to support the existing Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) based infrastructure, such as analog telephones, analog networks, and digital networks (T1/E1, ISDN etc.). At maximum configuration, the system can provide 1020 ports for IP and legacy devices, and 256 ports for Application cards. Communications between legacy stations/trunks and DtermIP telephones/IP networks are made via IP PAD, which converts packet-based voice data to TDM-based voice data, and vice versa. Both peer-to-peer connections and TDM-based connections are controlled by the Main Processor (MP) card. The MP card incorporates a built-in Device Registration Server (DRS) and a single interface point of IP connection to IP telephone, MATWorX, Voice Mail and OAI/ACD servers.

UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS users have access to hundreds of service features that are used in building unique telephony applications that enhance productivity, reduce operating costs and improve communications efficiently. The innovative modular hardware and software design allows efficient, effective growth within each module from its minimum to its maximum

configuration. The UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS software design is as advanced as its hardware. It ensures the system will support evolving applications and have the reliability needed to compete in today's world and into tomorrow's. The software is designed with modularity in mind. Together, these modular building blocks allow customers to initially buy what they need and add capacity and capabilities as the business demands, resulting in a greater degree of cost control for new installations and for upgrades to features, capacities and the software versions.
