CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
NEAX 2000 IPS General Description Page 11
NDA-24345, Issue 3
The NEAX 2000 IPS can provide legacy station/trunk interfaces to support the existing Time
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 for Application cards. Communications between legacy
stations/trunks and DtermIP telephones/IP networks are made via IP PAD, which converts packet-
based voice data to TDM-based voice data, and vice versa. Both peer-to-peer connections and
TDM-based connections are controlled the Main Processor (MP) card. The MP card incorporates a
built-in Device Registration Server (DRS) and a single interface point of IP connection to IP
telephone, MATWorX, and OAI/ACD servers.
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 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.
