 TOSHIBA
CIX SYSTEMS
The
Strata CIX is
Toshiba's new generation business communication systems utilizing the latest
digital technology to provide configuration flexibility and optimum
performance, while minimizing future obsolescence. The
Strata CIX platform is
based on a high-speed, 70 MIPS, 32-bit RISC processor, Dynamic Random Access
Memory (DRAM), Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) with a lithium battery for
back-up memory, and Flash ROM program memory. The primary architectural
features of the Toshiba CIX System include:
-
Flash ROM that provides program memory,
making future software upgrades easy because there's no need to replace
the memory chip hardware. Updates can be implemented on-site or
remotely.
-
New architecture that takes advantage of
a high-speed backplane that provides faster I/O functions and greater
port density in a compact, cost-effective, modular design.
-
Digital PAD technology that is used to
compensate for differing transmission levels between internal and
external devices, delivering consistently clear sound which is
especially useful for conference calls. This is controlled and set in
programming; no additional hardware is required.
-
Feature options that are software
controlled and do not require additional DSP hardware to allocate
feature resources, providing flexibility and cost savings.
-
One processor model that supports all
Strata CIX configurations, from smallest to largest, accommodating
affordable price points and cost-effective growth in both small and
large configurations.
Three platforms to select:
Strata Net Enables Multiple Networked
Strata CIX Systems
Utilizing Strata Net, a multi-system private networking application based on
QSIG (an international standard for the interconnection of PBXs), users can
network multiple Strata CIXs, allowing them to operate with a high level of
transparency. Strata Net enables transparent dialing, with simple feature
operation, through a coordinated numbering plan. This allows users to call
each other across network nodes with simple network directory numbers and
eliminates the need for access codes and network maps.
Strata Net also provides the ability
to implement centralized voice mail, enabling a single voice mail system to
serve all users throughout the enterprise network. Strata Net also
facilitates centralized attendant service, which means that calls to all
system nodes can be answered by a single attendant or attendant group,
regardless of where the extensions or trunks are physically located. In
addition, users need only dial "0" to reach the attendant, regardless of the
network node on which they reside.
Voice Mail Integration for a Complete
Turnkey Solution
The Strata CIX products are designed for advanced integration with Toshiba's new voice processing
solutions, Stratagy ES Release 3 and Stratagy IVP8, as well as the new
Stratagy ES platform, Model C1. All of the new Stratagy voice processing
solutions provide improved integration between both Strata CTX systems to
deliver features such as Call Record to Voice Mail. Additionally,
Stratagy ES systems can display many voice processing functions when
used with the new Toshiba 3000-series digital LCD telephones. Using soft keys
on the digital telephone LCD, users can easily operate certain features, such
as Play, Reply, Pause, and Delete. Voice prompts still play over the handset
should the user prefer to use them.
Simple, Cost-Effective Upgrade Path to CIX From Toshiba Strata DK Systems
The new CIX products are replacing Toshiba's current DK40i and DK424i
product lines, but with Toshiba's
investment protection strategy, customers can cost-effectively migrate to
the new products. Current users of Toshiba Strata DK424i telephone systems can
easily and economically migrate to the Strata CTX670 by continuing to use
most of their system components, including the base cabinet, expansion
cabinets, trunk and station cards, and telephones. All that is needed is a new
Strata CTX670 processor and reprogramming of the system. Similarly, current
users of Toshiba Strata DK40i
telephone systems can cost-effectively migrate to the Strata CIX by continuing
to use their digital telephones, as well as some CO line and station cards.
Room to Grow by Simply Adding to Existing
Equipment
The design of Strata CIX systems minimizes cost of ownership. The modular
architecture enables customers to expand by adding, not replacing, common
equipment. For example, cost-effective growth from smallest to largest
configurations can be achieved using the same processor and adding licenses
and interface cards.
 New
3000-Series Digital Telephones for PBXs
Toshiba's new 3000-Series
Digital Telephones offer contemporary styling and incorporate several design
improvements, six models are available to meet a variety of end-user needs.
The 3000-series digital telephones are compatible with both the new Strata CIX
systems and current Strata DK systems. Three models feature Liquid Crystal
Displays (LCDs). The top model has an extra large, 8-line by 24-character
LCD, especially useful for feature prompting and directory dialing.
