Generic 1003 software, introduced at the same time, offered advanced business features such
as modem pooling and DATASETs capable of synchronous/asynchronous transmission. In
addition, MITEL introduced one of the most flexible ACD Telemarketing packages available.
Generic 1004 software was introduced in 1990, delivering an office package that supports Key
System functionality for companies that were interested in having a departmental key system
application within their PBX environment. A Front Desk terminal provides a low-cost alternative
to a PMS for smaller Hotel/Motel operators. As well it offers Enhanced Subattendant features.
The SX-200 LIGHT PBX and LIGHTWARE™ 15 software was introduced in 1991, responding
to the need for fiber optic technology. At the same time, the SUPERSET™ 400 series
telephones were delivered. This series consists of the SUPERSET 401+, SUPERSET 401,
SUPERSET 410, SUPERSET 420 and SUPERSET 430 telephones. The sets are compatible
with both the SX-200 LIGHT and SX-200 DIGITAL PBXs. The MILINK
®
Data Module was
designed to be placed under the multiline SUPERSET 410, SUPERSET 420 and SUPERSET
430 telephones. Similar to the DATASETS introduced with Generic 1003, the MILINK Data
Module provides asynchronous transmission. LIGHTWARE 15 also includes ISDN interface
capability, DTMF Automatic Number Identification (ANI) and DTMF Dialed Number
Identification Service (DNIS). The Programmable Key Module (PKM) was introduced in later
versions of LIGHTWARE 15, providing SUPERSET 410, SUPERSET 420 and SUPERSET
430 telephones with 30 additional personal keys.
The first SX-200 ML PBX, SX-200 ML (FD), was developed using the same vertical cabinet
of the SX-200 LIGHT PBX and modifiying it to include the system main control. The result was
a fiber distributed (FD) single cabinet, 96 port PBX.
LIGHTWARE 16 software was released in 1995 and it introduced the SX-200 SPINE, a
peripheral bay containing a peripheral control module, a power module, Loop Start (LS) trunks
and LS/CLASS II modules, ONS, DNIC and CLASS modules. The 48 port SX-200 SPINE, fiber
optically connected, can be located up to 1006 metres (3300 feet) from the control cabinet.
Release 1.1 of the SX-200 ML PBX provided the SX-200 ML (FD) with an option of a second
cabinet or bay. The second cabinet could be a 96 port peripheral cabinet, a 24 or 48 port SPINE,
or an ISDN Network Gateway.
LIGHTWARE 17 software was released with the SX-200 ML (RM) and the SX-200 EL PBX.
The SX-200 ML system is housed in a horizontal, rack mounted (RM) cabinet and has the same
two cabinet limit as the SX-200 ML (FD) PBX. The SX-200 EL is also housed in the horizontal,
rack mounted cabinet but supports six peripheral bays. Other features include: a new family
of DNIC-based SUPERSET 4000-series telephones, a centralized voice mail, centralized
attendant, enhanced paging for key system telephones, interface units that connect
programmable key modules to the SUPERSET 4025, SUPERSET 4125, or SUPERSET 4150
telephone, the DSS/BLF (Direct Station Select/Busy Lamp Field) interface unit that connects
programmable key modules to an attendant console.
The SX-200 EL and the SX-200 ML systems also offer an access interface to the ISDN
Network.This interface is provided by the ISDN Network Gateway peripheral node and the PRI
card that installs within the SX-200 ELx cabinet Rev. 4.4 or greater. ISDN provides an
