Stratagy IVP8
The Stratagy IVP8’s circuit card architecture
(shown right) is a Toshiba proprietary design
utilizing state-of-the-art embedded
processing capabilities. The card has flash
memory and two RS-232 ports (operating at
speeds ranging from 1200 to 9600 bps) for
local or remote interface with a PC.
The IVP8 is a Strata-compatible circuit card
for small- to medium-sized businesses that
supports up to eight ports and provides
approximately four hours of storage. A
256MB CompactFlash card upgrade is
available from Toshiba that provides
approximately 16 hours of voice storage.
The flash memory has very high-data integrity with automatic bad-spot management and sparing,
and full Error Correction Coding (ECC) for high reliability. The flash memory data storage device
contains no moving parts, is fast, noiseless and light. It operates in the IVP8 like an industry
standard Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) hard disk drive. However, unlike disk drives, flash
memory speed does not decrease with increasing amounts of data stored; nor does disk storage
fragmentation occur.
Because it is installed directly in the telephone system, the IVP8 has the ability to monitor the
status of extensions for busy/idle status, and a DSS/BLF console’s Night Transfer key for alternate
incoming call routing applications. The IVP8 can also be synchronized with the Strata CTX/Strata
DK KSU (KSU time) or run on its own system clock. The IVP8’s system clock can automatically
make Daylight Savings Time adjustments.
Upgrading the IVP8 to additional ports does not require any hardware. The upgrade is performed
remotely by Toshiba.
Basic administrative functions (e.g., adding User IDs, resetting passwords) can be performed by
the System Administrator using a touchtone telephone (see
“System Administrator’s Mailbox” on
for details). For detailed administration interface and customer database storage, a
separate IBM-compatible PC equipped with a keyboard and monitor is required. A prefabricated
cable (SG-ADMCBL), designed expressly for Stratagy Admin communication, is available from
Toshiba.
Important!
In order to maintain Stratagy system integrity, customer-supplied anti-virus software
should be resident and active on any PC that is connected for any reason to Stratagy.
