Nortel Nortel Passport 8100, Reference Manual, Page: 197 / 252

• MPS 1000’s non-blocking, programmable call
handling platform delivers connectivity of any
port to any port, or to any shared resource,
reducing hardware requirements and monthly
trunking costs while increasing system flexibility.
• Since the MPS 1000 supports both digital and IP
voice protocols, customers who require a hybrid
Digital/VoIP environment are provided a smooth
migration path designed to protect existing
hardware investment.
• Application development and system
management are simplified through the use of
the PeriWorks suite of GUI tools:
– PeriView
– PeriProducer
– PeriStudio
– PeriSQL
– Peri Web
• For businesses that currently have either the
Nortel Networks VPS/is or MPS 100 units installed
on their networks, the MPS 1000 can be easily
installed to unite the existing units into a
cohesive, enterprise-wide, IVR solution.
Applications that are in use on the VPS/is systems
are compatible with MPS 1000, saving the time
and expense of rewriting and recoding
applications
Features and Benefits
Redundant, Fault-tolerant Solution
MPS 1000 has been designed with a redundant
hardware and distributed software architecture.
Redundant hardware can be configured to ensure
the continuous operation of critical components
such as application processors, ATM switches,
Network Interface Controllers (NICs), and system
clocks. Standby units such as ATM switches, hot
swappable NIC cards and warm standby application
processors can be installed or replaced with no
system interruption or manageable system
interruption.
Flexibility
The system supports a wide variety of interactive
voice processing applications, and is optimised for
the multi-application environments typical of both
the enterprise and service provider marketplace.
Typical applications can range from simple
information delivery services to complex transaction
processing services, as well as Web-based
transactions with local databases.
A wide selection of telephony and host computer
connectivity interfaces facilitate the easy integration
of automated functions into existing data
processing and communications environments.
Maximised Resource Utilisation
MPS 1000 is unique in its ability to dynamically
allocate system resources to ensure maximum
utilisation while at the same time reducing the
amount of hardware required and ultimately
reducing system cost.
Peri Suite of Graphical User Interface Tools
PeriWORKS is an integrated suite of GUI tools
focused on ease of use and support. PeriWORKS
includes a graphical application development
environment, graphical speech digitising and
processing tool, a graphical toolset for system
administration, operation, and control, a statistics
and reports management tool and an online
browser-based electronic documentation package.
System Interoperability
For businesses that currently have either the
Nortel Networks VPS/is or MPS 100 units installed
on their networks, the MPS 1000 can be easily
installed to unite the existing units into a cohesive,
enterprise-wide IVR solution. Applications that are
in use on the VPS/is systems are compatible with
MPS 1000, saving the time and expense of
rewriting and recoding your applications.
Some applications may require slight modification.
In addition, the PeriWORKS suite of GUI tools are
leveraged across all three platforms, providing a
cost-effective solution by reducing training costs
and eliminating multiple software packages.
Enhanced Multimedia Capabilities
The advanced multimedia features of the MPS 1000
include standard digital T1/E1 interfaces that can be
configured for both ISDN and Common Channel
Signaling (CCS7). In addition, the system architecture
supports voice transmission over IP networks. The
