IP Phones Benefits
·
Support connectivity to heritage Nortel VoIP enabled platform, including BCM and Communication
Server 1000 using UNIStim as well as IP Office using the SIP protocol
·
Transnetwork support increases employee productivity by providing users and network managers with
a common set of telephones across the entire network
·
Internal voice/data switch prioritizes voice traffic to ensure high-quality speech and reduces costs by
conserving wiring closet ports and eliminating the need for separate cable drops to the desktop
·
Automatic firmware upgrade ensures top performance and streamlines maintenance, reducing the
need for site visits
·
DHCP enabled IP telephones simplify network administration by providing centralized, automated IP
address management
Multiple Platform Support
These IP telephones are supported by heritage Nortel communication systems, including BCM, and
Communication Server 1000 but now are available also for IP Office. This industry-leading platform
interoperability facilitates growth and offers seamless migrations across customer premises and carrier-based
solutions. All IP telephones offer a rich suite of business features designed to meet current and emerging user
requirements and international icon-based characters. These features, in addition to multilanguage support,
make the IP telephones ideal for worldwide use.
Integrated Switched Ethernet Connection
Users can connect their desktop Internet telephone and their PC to the network on a single port. The IP
telephones feature a built-in 10/100 Base T Layer 2 switch that splits the network Category 5 cable into
separate feeds, one to the phone itself, while providing an additional RJ-45 port to connect a user’s PC. Giving
fixed, hardware-based priority to the phone voice port, the internal Ethernet switch ensures that high-quality
voice service is always available.
Reliable LAN Power Options
To ensure continuous phone service in mission-critical environments, the IP telephones can receive their power
over the network cabling. The Avaya family of Ethernet Switches (BES 50, ERS2500, ERS4500) delivers power
over the unused pairs of standard Category 5 UTP cables, eliminating the need for the telephones to be
connected to a power supply at the desktop.
Power is supplied on an as-needed basis, thanks to the sophisticated, software based load and fault-sensing
algorithm used by the Avaya Ethernet Switches. Desktop, rackmount and stackable options are available which
provide a cost-effective way to centralize power to the IP telephones. This approach delivers carrier-grade
reliability by enabling redundant power resources located at the wiring closets to provide emergency backup
power to these IP telephones located across the network.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Easy to set up and configure, the IP telephones deliver an innovative solution that enables users to connect
anywhere on the network without intervention by a network administrator, enabling management staff to focus
on more complex, mission-critical responsibilities.
Whether users relocate their phone down the hall or across the globe, the service comes up in the new location
exactly as if they were sitting in their own office, even though it might be thousands of miles away.
Prioritizing Network Traffic
Now companies can make their network’s priorities mirror those of their business. By installing the Avaya
Ethernet Switch (BES50 or ERS), a business’ network becomes an intelligent partner that uses Layer 2/3 packet
classification to prioritize business-critical traffic, helping them get the most out of their existing infrastructure.
Latency-sensitive applications and mission-critical users will receive platinum-level service, while less urgent
traffic is allocated bandwidth on a lower-priority basis. Prioritization is especially important for businesses that
need to support mission-critical IP applications, including VoIP, but do not want to incur higher costs by
overprovisioning the network to ensure bandwidth availability.
