System Overview
This chapter provides a brief overview of the Aastra 415 and Aastra 430 com-

Introduction
Aastra 400 is a family of IP-based communications servers for professional use in
companies and organizations operating as small and medium-sized businesses in
all industries. The family consists of three systems with different expansion capaci-
ties. The systems can be expanded using cards, modules and licences, and adapted
to the specific requirements of companies.
The family covers the growing demand for solutions in the area of unified commu-
nications, multimedia and enhanced mobile services. It is an open system that sup-
ports global standards and is therefore easily integrated into any existing infra-
structure.
With its wide range of networking capabilities the system is particularly well suited
for companies that operate in several locations. Coverage can even be extended to
the smallest branch offices at low cost.
Aastra 400 communication systems handle “Voice over IP” technology with all its
benefits. What’s more, the systems operate just as easily with traditional digital or
analogue phones and public networks.
With the integrated Media Gateways any hybrid forms of an IP-based and digital or
analogue communication environment are also possible. This enables customers
to make the switch from traditional telephony to IP-based multimedia communica-
tion either in just one step or, gradually, in several stages.

Communication server
The Aastra 415 and Aastra 430 communication servers are at the lower end of the
Aastra 400 family in terms of system capacity and expansion possibilities. However
all Aastra 400 communication servers are equipped with the same system software
and offer the full scope of performance.
All the connections and control elements are accessible from the front. The display
elements are arranged so that they remain visible whatever the installation posi-
tion.
