Features

Power Failure Protection

Power Failure Protection
System Availability: All systems
The Strata CIX has important optional capabilities that keep the system operating when
commercial AC power is interrupted.

Power Failure Transfer

The Strata CIX can immediately switch loop start analog CO lines directly to dedicated standard
telephones (customer-provided 2500- or 500-type) for incoming and outgoing calls in the case of a
commercial AC power failure. The transfer is automatic with no manual transfer procedure
required. During normal operation with AC power, the Power Failure telephones function with all
Strata CIX features available to a normal standard telephone. This feature requires a Toshiba
supplied external unit called the Power Failure Transfer Unit (DPFT-102) on CIX100, CIX200 and
CIX670 (the CIX200 can also use the Toshiba supplied LPFU1A). The CIX40 provides one built-
in PFCT relay for CO Line1 and the base unit standard telephone circuit.

Reserve Power Battery Backup

An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is required for power backup on a CIX200. The UPS is
similar to the ones used for Computer systems and Networking equipment. Two or four 12-volt
gel-cell, maintenance-free batteries can be connected to the CIX40, CIX100, CIX670 system
power supplies for system battery backup (80 amps./hours max.). The CIX670 system power
supply is standard-equipped with a battery charger and the batteries continuously trickle charge to
capacity while electrical power is present. The CIX100 power supplies must be equipped with the
optional ABCS battery charger to charge reserve power batteries.
If the AC power fails, the Strata system automatically switches over to battery power without any
interruption in operation. Calls in progress are not interrupted. Battery operation duration depends
upon the condition and ampere hour rating of the batteries and the system load. However, the
minimum battery operation time would be several hours. Connection of reserve power batteries
must be made when commercial AC power is available.

Privacy

System Availability: All systems
Privacy prevents intrusion on calls that appear on shared (common) [DN] or line buttons. If a
telephone has a call on a [DN] or line button that appears on other telephones, the other telephones
cannot intrude on the call by pressing the shared button unless the intruding telephone has the
Privacy Override feature or the telephone with the call activates the

Remote Update

The remote program update is administered using the eManager Administrator tool to update the
Strata CIX software remotely over a TCP/IP or Modem connection. The SD or SM card must be
installed on the Strata CIX processor to allow remote updates.
