Why the IPECS phone system is ideal for Multi-Branch Offices. . . 

Whether your need is to connect remote home office users or multiple branches, IPECS networking delivers a simple and secure solution. For the basic remote home office, simply install an IP Phone on a local network connection (with TCP/IP access to the Call Servers network, which is usually a standard Broadband internet connection) for transparent access to the IPECS Call Server. For the more advanced remote user with fax and local line access needs, add a Remote Gateway. Interconnect multiple small offices over your WAN in a Centralised Control Network and achieve transparent communications under control of a single central Call Server.

• Networking with Legacy LG-Ericsson systems

Multiple Call Server Networks 

In larger environments, use the Distributed Control Networking to link up to 70 IPECS Call Servers over your existing WAN or over ISDN. A unified numbering plan simplifies calling or transferring calls between sites. Attendant services can be distributed at each site or centralised at a single location. The powerful IPECS protocol provides a central attendant with status indications for any phones that are part of the networked environment.

System resilience 

For those critical applications, IPECS provides full redundancy options for the power supply, call server and remote site WAN connection failure. Include a back-up IPECS Call Server and power supply module; should the main server or power module fail, the back-up immediately takes control of the system without any impacton  ongoing conversations. You can even equip remote sites with a local IPECS Call Server; should the WAN connection to the main office fail, the local server takes over operation for uninterrupted communications. Equip the remote site with an optional second power module for seamless power backup.

Network Security

Security and Quality of Service (QoS) should be a major concern in any networked environment. IPECS implements IPSec and SRTP, a well known security standard for TCP/IP Networks, to encrypt data in the IP packets using advanced encryption techniques and tunneling to hide the real packet destination. To assure the highest QoS the IPECS Platform supports the standard DiffServ pre-tagging and 802.1 p / Q VLAN technology.

Legacy Systems and the IPECS Platform

The IPECS MFIM-50 easily inter-operates with other LG-Ericsson systems, including ipLDK, where advanced IPECS networking capabilities are supported.
