SYSTEM CAPACITIES
A wide range of configurations are available with a choice of telephones which include display phones, handsfree phones, headset phones and simplified operating consoles giving direct station selection.

Individual systems build up to the following:

  • 308 3 lines and 8 extensions

  • 512 5 lines and 12 extensions

  • 824 8 lines and 24 extensions

  • 1648 16 lines and 48 extensions

SYSTEM EXPANSION
Hardware modularity and common software provides the flexibility for system expansion as the business grows. Additional circuit cards may be fitted to increase switching capacity.

Extra telephones may also be purchased to increase the existing complement with all systems.

Modern technology introduces a number of money saving features such as the LCR option (on version 4 software) which enables your company to use alternative carriers and cable companies. This feature enables the cost conscious business to increase its efficiency and decrease the cost of calls.

Different levels of call barring may be introduced on an individual by individual basis. This prevents abuse by restricting outgoing calls to local or UK destinations on nominated extensions.

Call duration is indicated visually on display phones or by a warning tone after a pre-set time has elapsed.

On the 824 and 1648 systems, precise accounting information can be obtained relating to number and type of calls made on each extension. Information is downloaded to a standard printer or call logging system.
