SmartWare Software Configuration Guide

1 • System overview

 

 

Typical services in these networks are softswitch-based telephony, PSTN access through V5.2 gateways, PBX networking services, and LAN interconnection.

Typical access technologies for these networks include xDSL, WLL, PowerLine, cable and conventional leased lines. With the use of an external modem, the SmartNode can connect to leased lines or any bridged-Ethernet broadband access.

Enterprise networks

In company-owned and operated wide area networks, SmartNodes can be used to converge voice and data communications on the same IP link.

In combination with centralized services such as groupware and unified messaging, the SmartNodes provide migration and investment protection for legacy telephony systems.
