2000 IPS Introduction
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 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). D
term IP
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 D
term IP telephones with voice
compression, offering existing D term 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 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 D
term IP 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 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, and OAI/ACD servers.
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 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.
