Site Networking/IP Solutions Overview

By networking your various sites, you can share the common resources of a host system including the Operator, Voice Mail, and outbound trunks. This will go a long way to control costs, improve inter-office communications, and standardize communication flow throughout the office.

The standard methods of networking are point-to-point circuits, Tie Lines, and voice over frame relay. Telrad is compatible with any of these options. The newest method of networking is over the Internet. This is an area where Telrad truly leads the pack.

The Telrad Connegy Helix, IP Hub provides connection between facilities using the IP. At the host site an AIP card is installed in the Telrad Digital PBX system and assigned a static IP address. At the remote site, the Helix Hub is installed to support up to sixteen Avanti telephones at the remote site. The helix is also provided with an IP address.

Once installed and programmed, the remote Avanti telephone is simply an extension of the host PBX and operates like any other extension in the system. It has access to every feature, can be programmed from the host switch, and may even be a remote ACD agent.

While other systems can come close to this capability, Helix rises above the crowd by having the ability to extend a local number from the remote site to the host PBX where it may be programmed from ringing and dialing access as needed. In addition, the Helix application allows a single line adapter card to be installed in the base of the Avanti telephone to support an analog device such as fax, modem or cordless telephone. Telrad is the only system that supports these capabilities.

This capability places you in the position to standardize your communications requirements throughout the organization. It allows you to set up a remote office in a matter of minutes as opposed to weeks, and it gives you the opportunity to set up a remote test market without contracting additional services from the local utility.
