NEC UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS PBX System

The UNIVERGE™ NEAX® 2000 IPS is a full-featured IP-based communications system. It provides pure voice-over-IP (VoIP) peer-to-peer connections across corporate local and wide area networks (LAN/WAN) and also supports time division switching (TDM).  The UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS offers the utmost flexibility by providing a choice of time division switching, pure peer-to-peer IP connectivity or a combination of both, all in one system.

Pure IP switching provides communications between IP Dterms and also provides CCIS network connections with other NEAX 2000 IPS systems. TDM switching provides for communication between legacy stations and trunks. Connections between IP Dterms / CCIS-over-IP and legacy stations / trunks are made via IP Pads, which convert packet-based voice/data to TDM-based voice / data and vice versa.

The NEAX2000 IPS functions as a standalone telephony system supporting both IP and traditional circuit switched connectivity.  Yet it can also be networked with other NEC telephony devices such as the NEAX IPS-DML, the NEAX2400 IPX and, of course, other NEAX2000 IPS units. In this case, the NEAX2000 IPS supports node-to-node peer-to-peer connectivity or node-to-node circuit switched connectivity.  Each host can accommodate up to 255 nodes networked together.

The UNIVERGE NEAX2000 IPS supports a maximum of 952 IP stations, 512 TDM stations and a combined total of 980 stations.  Up to 952 peer-to-peer IP stations and 64 legacy TDM stations are available in a single modular chassis.  Up to eight chassis can be stacked together providing a maximum capacity of 512 TDM stations.  Each host can accommodate up to 30 UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DMR remote systems and up to 30 ISDN PRI links.

UNIVERGE 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 UNIVERGE 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.

The UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS provides a rich set of both Key and PBX features and is positioned to provide a comprehensive cost effective solution for the small to medium sized business, hotel property or the enterprise network environment. The UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS provides utmost investment protection by allowing the user to take full advantage of both today's and tomorrow's technological advancements.

UNIVERGE™ NEAX® 2000 IPS and UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DML BENEFITS

Investment Protection
One of the biggest benefits of the UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS and UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DML is investment protection. Built-in long-term migration capability ensures that your system grows along with your business. Whether your business needs call for short-term enhancements or long-term growth, the UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS and UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DML can be adapted with minimal cost and effort.

Reduced Operating Cost
Built-in power features like a Pentium®-equivalent AMD processor, flash-ROM and 1024 time slots help departments, strategic work groups and the entire enterprise operate more efficiently. A low power-consumption design keeps costs down, while a commercial power back-up unit keeps operations on-line. Universal cabling and ports provide network flexibility, while a totally non-blocking system ensures full traffic availability.

Increased Productivity
The UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS and UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DML offer many productivity enhancing features such as Automatic Call Distribution, Calling Number and Name Display, Conferencing, Soft Keys, Voice Mail, Unified Messaging, Speed Dialing and many more.

Energy Savings and Space Savings
By employing state-of-the-art technology in the system circuitry design, NEC has been able to reduce power consumption. As a result, the current consumption of the UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS system has been reduced to 50% of that of other conventional electronic PBX systems. This energy saving system design allows for the use of much smaller capacity main power equipment and air conditioning equipment lowering the monthly re-occurring environment costs. In parallel with the energy savings, the space requirement for the system has been reduced by two thirds when compared with that of a conventional electronic PBX system.

NEC takes this accomplishment a step further with the UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DM and UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DML. The UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DM and UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DML only occupies two Rack Units (2RU) of space but still maintains the same features and functionality of the UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS system.

High Reliability
The UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS and UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DML are designed and manufactured to provide the highest level of system reliability. The UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS is designed with features such as remote maintenance, distributed call processing, error-correcting memory, battery back-up and automatic system alarm indications for insuring the level of reliability your business demands. The UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS can also be equipped with dual CPU's as an option to insure even greater reliability.

Ease of Installation
Because the UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS and UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DML use pre-assembled modules and plug-in type circuit cards, it is easy to install. Wiring connections, both internal and external, are made through simple-to-use standard plug-ended cables. The UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DM and UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DML also comes standard for 19" rack mounting.

Ease of Maintenance
Because the system is constructed with high quality components, reliability is high. However, if a minor fault occurs, the self-diagnostic programs will detect the fault, and in many cases will automatically make the needed corrections. If the problem is beyond the internal correction capabilities of the system, the self-diagnostic programs will automatically log or print the nature of the fault and the involved unit is identified on the maintenance interface equipment. The faulty plug-in unit can then be quickly replaced with little or no interruption of service.

Future Capabilities
Because the UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS and UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DML use a flash ROM to store the control program, performance enhancements and new features can be easily incorporated by simple changes in software. The UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS and UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DML can be upgraded by using the most current software release and, when necessary, additional hardware. This means that the system will not become obsolete.

Cost Controls
With telecommunications costs growing, it is becoming increasingly important to control them. The UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS and UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DML make it possible to get a firm grasp on telecommunications costs. Through the use of tools such as least cost routing, class of service and call detail recording, cost reduction and control are within your reach.
