Introduction

The Tadiran Emerald Integrated Communication Exchange, (ICE) is a versatile, Digital
Hybrid Key Telephone System that includes many advanced features. It is
designed to meet the telecommunications needs of small to medium business
offices.
The Emerald ICE is a fully digital hybrid key telephone system. Utilizing "Loop
Start" central office (Telephone Company) line interfaces in conjunction with
analog and digital extension ports, it provides office communications and
connectivity to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
The Emerald ICE offers a plethora of office productivity features and telephone
enhancing features that include Caller Identification (required Telephone
Company subscription) in the standard package. Unlike most systems that support
Caller ID, the Emerald ICE supports Caller ID to Emerald ICE proprietary digital
extensions and to third‐party, Caller ID capable analog devices (cordless
telephones, etc.)
In addition to many standard features, several optional features are offered to
further enhance office communications. These built‐in voice processing integration
packages are:
• Automated Attendant
• Both Flash and Hard Drive Based Voicemail/Auto Attendant
The Emerald ICE platform allows the application of these voice processing
platforms without loss of valuable system port resources.
The Emerald ICE is comprised of an application‐configured, expandable Key
Service Unit or KSU platform. When used with the full‐featured Deluxe Telephone
and its display, it provides access to all system functions.
The Emerald ICE system architecture provides an expandable interface for digital
port growth and analog port growth. The basic configuration supports both device
types. (Analog ports might be used for plain old telephones, fax machines,
modems, etc.)
