The Strata
TCTX-100 and CTX-670 are complete business communication solutions
with enhanced voice mail integration, including a choice of two new Toshiba
voice processing solutions, and the ability to network multiple locations.
New Systems With New Technology
The Strata CTX100 and Strata CTX670 are Toshiba's new generation business
communication systems utilizing the latest digital technology to provide
configuration flexibility and optimum performance, while minimizing future
obsolescence.
 New
3000-Series Digital Telephones
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 CTX 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.
The Strata CTX 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 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 CTX670 configurations, from
smallest to largest, accommodating affordable price points and
cost-effective growth in both small and large configurations. The Strata
CTX100 uses the same cost-effective single processor design.
Strata Net
Enables Multiple Networked Strata CTX 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 CTX670 and/or CTX100 systems, 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 CTX 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 CTX From Toshiba Strata DK Systems
The new CTX 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 CTX100 or Strata CTX670
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 CTX 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.
Strata CTX100 customers also have the option of migrating
to the CTX670 when their needs exceed the capabilities of the smaller
system. Their digital telephones, and most CO line and station cards, can be
reused in the larger CTX670 system, thus taking advantage of Toshiba's
investment protection strategy. |
