IWATSU ENTERPRISE 18i PLATINUM SERIES IP
TELEPHONE
The Iwatsu Enterprise 18i IP Telephone is part of the Platinum Series line of
telephones from Iwatsu. The Iwatsu Enterprise 18i is equipped with eight
menu keys, 18 line keys, and a six-line, 20-character backlit LCD display.
The Iwatsu Enterprise 18i has a large incoming call / MSG indication LED
on the top of the telephone. The Iwatsu Enterprise 18i also includes an
integrated pedestal to simplify installation.
Frequently used features are now made available through menu keys on the
display. Features that often required a specialized key on the telephone or a
series of feature access codes can now be easily accessed using the new
display menu. Menu key features include: Call Forwarding, Voice Mail, Call
Conferencing, Call Park, a Call Log for incoming and outgoing call records,
and EZDial for access from one to ten direct station selections.
The Iwatsu Enterprise 18i provides complete access to the ECS feature set
from an Ethernet connection. Each Iwatsu Enterprise 18i Telephone requires
an IP address that is either static or dynamically allocated by the network
DHCP server.
The Iwatsu Enterprise 18i IP Telephone also requires an available channel
on an IX-MBU Media Bridge Unit card. to communicate with TDM
resources. Iwatsu Enterprise 18i to Iwatsu Enterprise 18i and Iwatsu
Enterprise 18i to other Iwatsu IP Telephones (except IX-12IPKTD) calls are
peer-to-peer and do not require an IX-MBU channel. The Iwatsu Enterprise
18i can be installed on the internal LAN or may access the ECS system via a
WAN connection. WAN connections can be configured for VPN or Non-
VPN routers.
The Iwatsu Enterprise 18i IP Telephone includes an integrated Layer 2
switch that was designed for the workstation user and allows the switching
of data within a LAN via MAC address. Because the Iwatsu Enterprise 18i
IP Telephone is a Layer 2 switch, one client PC can connect to the back of
the Iwatsu Enterprise 18i IP Telephone (via the PC jack) and then passes all
data through the phone. When using the switching capabilities of the Iwatsu
Enterprise 18i, voice quality may suffer. It is important to not use the
switching capabilities for high-load devices like a file or database server.
The Iwatsu Enterprise 18i Telephone packages voice data through the UDP
datagram and sends the data on an IP network such as an Ethernet LAN or
VPN. Additionally, the Iwatsu Enterprise 18i can be powered over the
Ethernet, via Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE).
