Quintum BX Series BX204 Manuals

Quintum and IPhone4Less offer a Comprehensive VoIP Solution With a Service Management Platform. Service providers are faced with service delivery issues that were incomprehensible just a few years ago. Networks were clearly defined for voice or data. Today, however, VoIP is a disruptive technology that is radically changing the telecommunications business and posing new challenges for both new and existing service providers. Quintum and IPhone4Less have partnered to offer a complete, cost effective solution for service providers to deploy and operate a state of the art VoIP network. The Technical Challenge Service providers are no longer in a class by themselves. The voice services market is now being pursued by not only the traditional telecom players, but also by next generation telcos, ISPs and cable companies; the profit margins are eroding; and there is an expensive infrastructure to support. The high cost of TDM networks, greater competition, and eroding profit margins are forcing service providers to change the way they do business. This new world of VoIP and convergence of voice and data networks offers the ability to operate networks more efficiently and deliver revenue generating value added services. Service providers face the challenge of quickly and efficiently deploying VoIP and the support systems such as billing, order processing and service creation. Many service providers also need to efficiently integrate their VoIP networks together with existing networks and operations. As service providers deploy VoIP they are also concerned about QoS and delivering the same level of voice quality that the customers are getting with their existing service. With the fast pace of change in this industry, service providers need the ability to deploy the network and put operations and services into place quickly. The Business Solution Quintum’s Tenor VoIP MultiPath Switch products address the voice QoS concern, as well as basic interoperability and integration. Ease of Integration and Configuration: The Tenor’s MultiPath architecture allows it to be easily and seamlessly integrated in with the existing carrier infrastructure. There is no need for network upgrades or overhauls. Simply place the Tenors into the existing network, utilize Tenor’s newest Configuration Manager and Network Monitor software, and VoIP is ready to go. Quintum’s Tenors can support small SOHO and smaller branch office locations needing as few as 2 simultaneous VoIP calls, up to 24 simultaneous analog VoIP calls in one unit, and enterprises needing fractional T1, E1 connections up to nearly 1000! All Tenors support H.323 and SIP, are IVR/RADIUS AAA compliant, have intelligent call routing, universal dial plan capability and can have integrated gatekeepers for simple network management. Built-in QoS for VoIP Communication: It is critical to ensure the best possible network performance by assuring voice calls with be PSTN quality. The Tenor VoIP MultiPath switches offer patented SelectNet™ Technology, which monitors calls for jitter, packet loss and latency and can transparently switch calls from the IP to the voice network, mid-call, whenever conditions meet a targeted threshold of voice degradation. This assures superior voice quality. Application Notes For Tenor®

New Quintum White Paper Compares Alternatives for VoIP Implementation. Quintum has developed a new white paper that addresses the issues of implementing a new VoIP platform that maximizes business benefits while minimizing potential technology ownership headaches. Voice service is critical to the operation of the business, so no one wants to implement a technology that will compromise call quality or reliability in any way. On the other hand, the cost savings and value-added functionality available with VoIP makes it a compelling investment. This white paper examines the challenges of deploying VoIP and how they are addressed by VoIP switching as compared to high end router-based VoIP gateways and low-end low cost gateways.

Tenor BX VoIP MultiPath Switch The Quintum® Tenor® BX MultiPath Switch offers enterprises using ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) lines an easy, cost effective way to capitalize on the power of Voice over IP (VoIP). The Tenor integrates VoIP gateway functionality with its unique intelligent call routing, MultiPath architecture, and QoS support all in one solution. Enterprises can benefit from a variety of valuable applications such as PBX extension, remote office connectivity, long distance consolidation and call centers. BX Series products can support either 2, 4 or 8 BRI lines. Both versions of Tenor include the features that made Quintum the VoIP market value leader • MultiPath architecture for easy integration with existing voice and data infrastructure, meaning little or no re-programming of the PBX, or upgrades are required and no need for special dialing plans. • Transparent MultiPath Call Routing to intelligently route calls between the PBX, the PSTN, and the IP network to achieve the best combination of cost and quality. The Tenor can also route calls over IP to reduce costs, and then transparently "hop off" to the PSTN, to reach off-net locations. • Auto Provisioning interface allows the Tenor solution to be deployed worldwide, and configured automatically by acquiring the configuration information from a central server, upon installation. The same auto-provisioning capability allows the Tenor to be configured from a VoIP application, thus supporting a single user interface between the VoIP application and the Tenor configuration. • Unified Communications Proxy (UCP) provides 'Any to Any' connectivity: SIP - SIP, TDM - TDM and SIP - TDM, for easy integration with any network. • Universal Dial Plan that provides a programmable dial plan so Tenor can be integrated into any network environment. • PacketSaver™ Technology multiplexing to reduce bandwidth consumption by up to 57% by combining voice packets from multiple calls into a single packet. • NATAccess™to allow Tenor to operate behind NAT firewalls to translate internal IP addresses into public addresses when a VoIP call is established with an outside party. • Remote Management for anywhere, anytime remote management even behind NAT firewalls with Quintum's Remote Management Session Server. * Available for an additional cost Tenor S (Survivable MultiPath Switch) Offers a Survivable Branch Office VoIP Access Solution for IP PBXs and IP Centrex Quintum's TenorS line is a complete SIP-based VoIP solution for the branch office or for service provider customer premise equipment, providing full survivability in the event that access to the central and/or hosted IP PBX is lost.

http://www.quintum.com Quintum Technologies Overview Quintum Technologies, Inc., an innovator in the VoIP arena, has introduced many new Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) concepts and patented technologies based on its flagship product: the award-winning Tenor MultiPath Switch. Quintum brings “active intelligence” into voice connectivity, eliminating the barriers for convergence of today's networks and the applications they will support in the future. Through Quintum's unique approach, we have developed breakthrough technology that vastly improves Quality of Service, Ease of Use and Ease of Integration for VoIP, and provides the foundation to address future enterprise voice/data issues. Bottom Line, Quintum’s products allow organizations to save money by combining their Voice and Data Networks. In addition, they allow Next Generation Telephone Companies and Internet Service Providers the opportunity to expand their services and sources of revenue. The Tenors do this by converting voice and fax calls into data packets, and routing them over the IP network, using available bandwidth on Corporate WAN’s or the Public Internet. In addition, the Tenor’s integrated VoIP Gatekeeper functionality allows a dynamic directory system to be in place, so that the VoIP network can change and grow with no downtime. Analog and Digital Tenors As mentioned before, Quintum’s flagship products, the Analog and Digital Tenors are flexible & scalable in their design. The Digital Tenor is available with options to support 8, 16, 24 or 30 simultaneous VoIP channels (calls) and is installed in between a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) and the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) via T1, E1 or PRI lines, and then connected into an Ethernet Switch as simply as adding a new PC to the network. For smaller and branch locations, it supports fractional T1, E1 and PRI. Multiple Tenors may be ”stacked together“ in one location. The Analog Tenor supports either 4 or 8 simultaneous voice calls, and installs in the same manner as the Digital Tenor, but is connected to Analog (Loop Start) Telephone Lines. There is also a new 2-port version, called the Tenor A200, featured below, as it has a different feature set than the rest of the Tenor family. Another newer product is the Tenor CMS (Carrier MultiPath Switch), which is a Carrier-Class, Chassis-Based High Density Switch, which can support up to 960 simultaneous phone calls. This product is quickly becoming a staple of the Next Generation Phone Companies and Calling Card Phone Operators. Here is a quick look at some of the supporting technologies that run through Quintum’s Product Line: SelectNet™ Technology This patented technology allows VoIP calls to remain connected, even if the IP network is having problems or fails. Without the callers intervention or knowledge, the Tenors can be configured to switch a call from the IP Network to the PSTN when certain criteria is met regarding 3 factors; IP Packet Loss, Delay (Latency) and Jitter.
