HiPath 5000 System Overview
Server Networking
3.4 Server Networking
3.4.1 Features of IP Networking
Transparent for End Users
● No special telephones are required, as the conversion of voice into IP packets takes place
in the LAN gateway rather than in the telephone.
● The transfer of the general network features has no effect on the way the telephones are
used, and therefore does not restrict the convenience of the telephone functions in any
way.
● DTMF signals: DTMF signals are supported. It is therefore possible to have suffix dialing
or to listen to voice mail over the IP network.
Support of Network-wide Features
HiPath 5000 supports the CorNet NQ protocol; in this process CorNet NQ-specific features are
transmitted over the IP network (tunnelling).
The following applies: The features that are currently transmitted in a HiPath 3000 corporate
network are also supported by HiPath 5000 with some enhancements in comparison to con-
ventional networking. (see General Features).
Central Attendant Console
It is also possible to set up a central, general attendant console in the HiPath 5000 environment.
There is a new feature which allows busy signaling for all communication platforms.
(See optiClient Attendant)
Automatic Routing
HiPath 5000 can perform automatic routing to a backup or alternative network for new connec-
tions. A voice network (such as ISDN dial-up connection) can also be used as a backup net-
work. This ensures that the high availability of the Hicom is not affected by the use of IP net-
works for the transfer of voice and fax connections. Automatic routing is initiated if
● the communication platform selected is not accessible (for example because of an error or
overload in the IP network).
>
Note
The cross-communication platform busy signaling feature is only available with
optiClient Attendant.
HiPath 5000 (Presence Manager) is not necessary for this purpose.
