9.) Intelligent Digital Multifunction Terminal - In addition to supporting conventional station
equipment, the
U NIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS can be equipped with the Dterm series digital electronic
multifunction terminals. The Dterm terminals are intelligent microprocessor controlled terminals,
which enhance the feature capabilities offered by the system and provide the service of
conventional key telephones over 1-pair wiring. The Dterm
instrument may be equipped with an
interface adapter to allow simultaneous voice and data switching, without compromising the voice
communication system.
10.) Ease of Installation - Because the U NIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS uses pre-assembled modules
and plug-in type circuits packs, it is easy to install. Wiring connections, both internal and external,
are made through simple-to-use standard plug-ended cables. In addition, with each unit and system
having been fully factory tested prior to shipment, potential obstacles to easy installation have been
held to a minimum.
11.) Ease of Maintenance - Because the system is constructed with first quality components,
reliability is high and operation is trouble free. However, if a minor fault occurs, the self-diagnostic
programs will detect the fault, and automatically make the needed corrections. If the problem is
beyond the internal correction capabilities of the system, the self-diagnostic programs will
automatically print the nature of the fault and the involved unit is identified on the man-machine
interface equipment. The faulty plug-in unit can then be quickly replaced with little or no interruption
of service.
12.) Flexible Numbering Plan - The U NIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS provides flexible numbering
assignment to meet all forms of network integration service.
13.) Future Capabilities - Because the U NIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS uses a stored program control,
performance enhancements and new features can be easily incorporated by simple changes in
software. The
U NIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS can be upgraded by using the most current software
release and, when necessary, additional hardware. This means that the system will not become
obsolete.
14.) Cost Controls - With telecommunications costs growing, it is becoming increasingly important
to control them. The
U NIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS makes it possible for you to get a firm grasp on
telecommunications costs. Through the use of such features as least cost routing, class of service
and detail call recording, cost reduction and control are possible.
