STRATA CS Communication Server

• Trunk interfaces support analog loop start trunks, analog Direct Inward Dialing (DID) trunks, T1 digital trunks, E1 digital trunks, Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Primary Rate Interface (PRI) and Basic Rate Interface (BRI).
  
• Station interfaces support digital telephones, analog telephones, and IP telephones.
  
• The Internet telephony interfaces support Internet Protocol (IP) calls via the integrated gateway function.

Here are some highlights of significant Strata CS features:

• Scalability - Strata CS is expandable from small configurations up to 96 trunks and 264 stations.
• Fault Tolerant Architecture - The Strata CS architecture is designed to keep your telephone system working at all times. If your network or any PC is down, your telephone lines will still operate as usual. Even if the Strata CS Server malfunctions or a power outage occurs, some of your telephone lines will stay open.
• Graphical User Interface - The Strata CS client application lets you control communications from your PC through the easy-to-use graphical user interface. Make and receive calls, access voice messages visually, and access all Strata CS features on your PC screen. Communicate using your PC or telephone and expand your ability to access and share information.
• Multi-line Call Control - Manage all of your calls visually on your PC screen. It's an easy way to make and transfer calls, put calls on hold, forward calls to voice mail, set up conference calls, and more.
• Verbal Menus - Comprehensive verbal menus guide you through all call-handling and voice mail-management functions. This lets you use the advanced features of Strata CS through the telephone user interface, without requiring a PC.
• Full-featured Voice Mail - Effectively manage your messages by creating greetings for specific callers, accessing messages remotely, and checking your voice messages visually. You can also call a person who left you a message with just one mouse click. Or, if you're accessing Strata CS remotely, you can use the call-back feature within the voice mail system.
• E-mail and Pager Notification - Program Strata CS to alert you of incoming voice mail messages by paging or e-mailing you, with or without voice mail attachments.
• Caller Identification and Call Screening - You can easily screen incoming calls via PIN or Caller ID, either visually or by announcing the caller's name when you answer the telephone. You can even screen messages while they're being left in voice mail and answer the call if desired.
• Call Recording - Record conversations and teleconferences in excellent sound quality with just a mouse click. You can also save them as .wav files and forward them via e-mail.
• Smart Do Not Disturb - Program Strata CS to allow only important calls from specific people to ring through to your telephone. All other calls will be automatically forwarded to your voice mailbox.
• The Strata CS Web Client - Access voice mail or change your Strata CS system settings from anywhere in the world via the Internet, or even from non-Windows platforms.
• "Follow-me" Call Forwarding - If you're traveling, Strata CS can forward calls to several different numbers until you answer. You can even program different call-routing lists for each specific caller.
• Call Logging - Call Logging lets you view a list of your calls, while giving system administrators access to a complete log of all employee calls.
• Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) - Create call center queues, log each group's call-handling activity, and use the Call Center Reporter to analyze call volumes, agents' efficiency, customer hold time, and more.
• Workgroups - Workgroups are collections of extensions, such as all the users in departments. Using the Client display makes it easy to find people in different workgroups. You can call a public workgroup's extension to ring all of the users' telephones in the workgroup at the same time. You can even create personal workgroups that help you quickly find people with whom you work.
• Multi-level Auto Attendant - The Strata CS auto attendant provides multi-level menus for incoming caller ease, multiple attendants customized for each trunk, customized greetings and menus, special greetings for off-hours and holidays, call routing to operators or voice mail after a caller has been on hold, fax detection and routing, and internal/external dialing by name.
• Scheduled Auto Attendants - Automatically change greetings and route calls to different extensions at specific times/days, depending on your company's requirements.
• Call Rules - You can change the way calls are handled based on who calls or a particular date or time. For example, you can automatically send specific calls to voice mail during lunch, change your personal greeting after business hours, or forward calls from certain people to your cell phone.
• Routing Services/Automatic Route Selection (ARS) - You can dial 9 to use ARS routing services. The Strata CS chooses the appropriate dialing service based on rules that you define. The rules match the number dialed to a dialing service or a number dialed to a time of day. Using routing services and dialing services, you can implement your own ARS tables, allow people to dial just 9 regardless of whether they are calling over local or long-distance trunks, and even send long-distance calls over VoIP as needed.
• Account Codes - You can use account codes to help track calls to one or more clients or customers. Account codes can be used for any call and are saved in the Call Log view. Administrators can optionally force users to enter account codes for every call on a per user basis. Account codes can be optionally verified against a list configured by the Administrator.
• Digital Telephone Support - Strata CS is compatible with Toshiba 2000-series digital telephones, bringing improved functionality, reliability, and quality to the telephone system. Strata CS is one of the few communication server-based telephone systems that supports digital telephones.
• IP Telephone Support - Strata CS provides users with the benefits of both IP and circuit switched communications. The system is compatible with both IP telephones and traditional telephones (both analog and digital) for the user's ultimate flexibility. Users can connect an IP telephone locally to the system via their LAN, or can connect an IP telephone remotely to the system via the Internet or private, IP-based intranet.
• Built in Internet H.323 VoIP gateway - Make calls over the Internet or your intranet, eliminating long-distance toll charges. The built-in Internet H.323 gateway lets you create tie-lines between branch offices, and even allows customers to call you from your website.
• Telephone Application Programming Interface (TAPI) Service Provider and Contact Manager Assistant - When a person in your Act!®, Outlook®, Goldmine® or other TAPI-compliant contact database calls, you can receive instant screen-pop caller identification, and even return their call with a mouse click.
• ISDN Support - Strata CS supports ISDN BRI, letting you enjoy the cost-saving advantages of this network interface. The system also supports analog, T1, E1, and PRI interfaces.
• Extend Strata CS with IVR Plug-ins - Seamlessly integrate IVR and other call control applications, and pass caller input or database information to Strata CS users.
• Multi-lingual System Prompts - System users and callers can conveniently select the language of their choice for Strata CS verbal commands (both built-in and customizable).
