Features
Strata Net Multi-system Networking
94 Strata CTX General Description 10/04
Alternate Routing
System Availability: Strata CTX100, CTX670
Each Strata CTX can be programmed for thousands of routing patterns for Strata Net alone. This
allows the creation of networks in which calls can be automatically re-routed around network
disruptions. Centralized facilities and features can continue to work and users will be unaware of
problems while they are being repaired.
Alternate Routing also permits Toll Bypass in which Strata Net can be used to deliver a public call
from a point in the network where toll charges are minimized. Such a scheme is known as “Hop
Off” for the ability of the private network to determine the point at which the call will hop off to
the public network.
Centralized Attendant
System Availability: Strata CTX100, CTX670
One attendant can serve an entire Strata Net (requires Strata CTX R1.3 and higher, as well as CTX
Attendant Console application R1.3 and higher). Station users only need to dial “0” to reach the
centralized attendant regardless of the node in which they reside. The attendant can reach any
station in the network using its Network Directory Number. Trunks attached to any network node
can be programmed to terminate to the centralized attendant and their source and calling party
information will be delivered to the attendant’s display. The BLF appearances of all stations from
all nodes can appear on the centralized Attendant Console.
Telephone DSS Buttons
System Availability: Strata CTX100, CTX670
Telephone DSS buttons can appear across the QSIG network. This enables a user’s DSS button to
function in all nodes in a CTX network. The DSS function works within or across a network.
Centralized Voice Mail
System Availability: Strata CTX100, CTX670
Requires Stratagy ES or iES Release 4 or higher. A voice mail system attached to any Strata Net
network node can serve users throughout the enterprise. Unanswered calls will be forwarded to the
voice mail, the source and calling conditions identified and the appropriate voice mailbox greeting
will be played. The voice mail system can control message waiting indications throughout the
network as messages are left and retrieved. A single network can even support multiple centralized
voice mail systems with each station being programmed for the appropriate system. Record to
voice mail and voice mail soft keys are available across all network nodes from a single Stratagy
R4 ES or iES voice mail system.
Network SMDR
System Availability: Strata CTX100, CTX670
An external Strata Net call will generate a call record at the terminating node for that call. Transit
nodes will not generate records. The records can be stored in customer-supplied external buffers at
each node. Polling call accounting software can gather and organize the data from multiple nodes.
Local buffering provides survivability in the event of network disruption.
