Features

Enhanced E911

Enhanced E911
System Availability: All systems
Enhanced 911 calling means the routing of a call to the appropriate Public Safety Answering
Position (PSAP) accompanied by Caller Emergency Services Identifier (CESID). The CESID
identifies the location to which emergency services are to be sent. The Strata CIX can use two
types of trunks to deliver E911 calls: ISDN Primary Rate Interface and CAMA (Centralized
Automatic Message Accounting) trunks. Each 911 call generates an SMDR record at the
beginning of the call to enable the business to initiate its own emergency response. Internal
emergency destinations can also be automatically included in an emergency call. E911 calls can be
routed across a Strata Net network for connection to the public network.

External Amplified Speaker

System Availability: All systems
The External Amplified Speaker (BESCB) is a six-inch, three-watt speaker with a three-watt
amplifier built into a wooden speaker box. The amplified ringer can be used to:
• Amplify the ringing on a digital telephone.
• Provide a paging amplifier/speaker.
• Create an amplified talk-back speaker arrangement in an area where a telephone is not needed.
The BESCB is installed as a speaker and connected to a door phone unit that is used as the talk-
back microphone.
Amplified ringing can improve call handling in noisy areas where non-amplified ringing on a
phone may not be heard.
A paging speaker ensures that paging announcements can be clearly heard throughout an area. In
an area where a DP is not needed, a talk-back speaker provides a cost-effective communications
solution.
The number of BESCBs that can be installed per system depends on the function of the BESCB.
Any number of BESCBs can provide loud ringers for digital telephones. Only one BESCB can be
installed if it is used as a paging or an amplified talk-back speaker.
A BHEU interface and an HESC-65A cable are required for each digital phone that has a
Note
loud ringing bell. IP telephones require HESC-65A, but not BHEU to support External
Amplified Speaker. A 3000- or 2000-series digital telephone that has been upgraded with a
data interface unit can be upgraded with the BHEU options, but older telephone models
cannot.

Flash Button

System Availability: All systems
This is an optional button that can be assigned on digital telephones. It can be used either to
disconnect a line and regain CO dial tone, or to gain access to Centrex features. The timing choice
is set system wide through system programming. Standard telephones can dial an access code to
flash Centrex lines.
