The system can consist of 1 to 8 Peripheral InterfaceModules (PIM) providing a capacity range of 50 to almost 1000 stations.The SOPHO 2000 IPS DtermIP telephones are designed to provide a convergedinfrastructure at the desktop, with a 100 Base T Ethernet connection to the LAN and built-in hub for a PC connection to the telephone itself. The system can provide peer-to-peerconnections between DtermIP telephones with voice compression, offering the samefeatures as for digital (TDM) based Dterm Series telephones. On the WAN side, thesystem can provide peer-to-peer connections over IP networks with the voicecompression, on a CCIS basis (CCIS over IP) or Remote PIM (Remote PIM over IP).The SOPHO 2000 IPS can provide legacy station/trunk interfaces to support the existingTime Division Multiplexing (TDM) based infrastructure, such as analog telephones,analog networks, and digital networks (T1/E1, ISDN etc.). At maximum configuration,the system can provide 1020 ports for IP and legacy devices, and 256 ports forApplication cards. Communications between legacy stations/trunks and DtermIPtelephone s/IP networks are made via IP PAD, which converts packet-based voice data toTDM-based voice data, and vice versa. Both peer-to-peer connections and TDM-basedconnections are controlled with the Main Processor (MP) card. The MP card incorporatesa built-in Device Registration Server (DRS) and a single interface point of IP connectionto IP telephone, MATWorX, and OAI/ACD servers.SOPHO 2000 IPS users have access to hundreds of service features that are used inbuilding unique telephony applications that enhance productivity, reduce operating costsand improve communications efficiently. The innovative modular hardware and softwaredesign allows efficient, effective growth within each module from its minimum to itsmaximum configuration. The SOPHO 2000 IPS software design is as advanced as itshardware. It ensures the system will support evolving applications and have the reliabilityneeded to compete in today's world and into tomorrow's. The software is designed withmodularity in mind. Together, these modular building blocks allow customers to initiallybuy what they need and add capacity and capabilities as the business demands, resultingin a greater degree of cost control for new installations and for upgrades to features,capacities and the software versions.The SOPHO 2000 IPS is the revolutionary companion to the SOPHO iS3000 series. Assuch, it has all the selling features of the SOPHO iS3000 within an IP transportenvironment. Since the SOPHO 2000 IPS supports traditional circuit-switched telephony(Time Division Multiplexed) on both the trunk and line sides as well as peer-to-peer IPtelephony on both the trunk and line sides, this simultaneous compatibility allows existingusers of SOPHO telephony to retain their existing TDM equipment (thus protecting theiroriginal investment) as they begin to make the migration to pure IP telephony. Allversions of the SOPHO iS3000 can be connected to the SOPHO 2000 IPS easily.The SOPHO 2000 IPS can function as a standalone device providing telephonyconnectivity for a mid-sized-to-small office. But it can likewise be networked with other
