1.3 System information Sopho 2000 IPS

The SOPHO 2000 IPS (Internet Protocol Server) is a full-featured IP based
communications system providing a rich feature set with pure Voice over IP (VoIP)
communications (peer to peer connections), across corporate Local and Wide Area
Networks (LAN and WAN). The system can consist of 1 to 8 Peripheral Interface
Modules (PIM) providing a capacity range of 50 to almost 1000 stations.
The SOPHO 2000 IPS DtermIP telephones are designed to provide a converged
infrastructure 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-peer
connections between DtermIP telephones with voice compression, offering the same
features as for digital (TDM) based Dterm Series telephones. On the WAN side, the
system can provide peer-to-peer connections over IP networks with the voice
compression, 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 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
telephone s/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 with 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.
SOPHO 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 SOPHO 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.
The SOPHO 2000 IPS is the revolutionary companion to the SOPHO iS3000 series. As
such, it has all the selling features of the SOPHO iS3000 within an IP transport
environment. 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 IP
telephony on both the trunk and line sides, this simultaneous compatibility allows existing
users of SOPHO telephony to retain their existing TDM equipment (thus protecting their
original investment) as they begin to make the migration to pure IP telephony. All
versions of the SOPHO iS3000 can be connected to the SOPHO 2000 IPS easily.
The SOPHO 2000 IPS can function as a standalone device providing telephony
connectivity for a mid-sized-to-small office. But it can likewise be networked with other
