1.1 What is AspireNet?
The AspireNet package provides a seamless connection of multiple systems into a single "virtual"
communications system using VoIP lines with a unified numbering plan. AspireNet will allow many
companies to connect their telephone systems so they appear as one. This will give them the ability to
have only one operator to manage the system and share one voice mail within the network. An
extension user in the network can easily dial another extension or transfer a call within the AspireNet
System. Calls are passed from network node to network node using a protocol that contains
information about the source of the call, the type of call and the destination of the call.
AspireNet system can be networked with SL2100, SL1000 , SV9100 and SV8100 system.
Centralized Voice Mail
Centralized Voice Mail allows multiple networked systems to share a single voice mail system. This
centralized voice mail can receive calls from and transfer calls to any destination in any network node.
Unanswered calls recall and route as if they were part of a single, much larger system.
Flexible Network Routing
Use network routes to set up "single channel" networking between many separate systems - or use
multiple networking channels per system for greater network performance. Data tables in the system
program define the routing for each extension in each network node. These tables are easily
customized to meet the requirements of each networking configuration.
Users may place an intercom call or transfer a call to any extension at any location by simply dialing
an extension number. The system analyses each extension number received and determines how to
route the call to its final destination. The feature which handles this route selection is called Flexible
Routing (F-Routing). Once an extension number is dialed, the system checks the routing, accesses
the assigned trunk group and places the call. Each extension is assigned a route or routes that
decides which trunk group to access and any modified dialed data if required.
Busy Lamp Indication
The status of an extension will be shown at a Hotline key/DSS Console on another networked system.
This allows a Centralized Operator to have lamp indication of extensions in the network or an
extension user to have a Hotline key for a co-worker on another system.
Centralized Operation
Centralized Operator allows multiple networked systems to share a single operator. The operator can
be accessed by a single digit code, if the operator is busy your call will automatically queue until the
operator becomes free. The operator can have a DSS console to show the status of users anywhere
in the network.
Paging
AspireNet allows a user to place Paging call to a networked system. If you need to get through to a
coworker who is not at their desk then place a paging call to their system.
