Stratagy Flash and IVP8
Stratagy Flash and IVP8 share many of the same features and capabilities.
The Flash is designed for small businesses with fewer users and lower call volumes. It delivers the
power of voice processing without the investment, expense, and administrative overhead of many
larger voice processing systems.
The IVP8 is an integrated voice processing solution designed to be installed in a base/expansion
cabinet card slot of a Strata CTX or Strata DK telephone system.
Stratagy Flash
The Stratagy Flash (shown right) is a standalone, two-
or four-port, solid-state voice messaging platform that
combines Stratagy software with flash memory and an
integrated CPU, all enclosed in a compact and easily
installed unit manufactured by Intel Corporation.
The flash memory has very high-data integrity with
automatic bad-spot management and sparing, and full
Error Correction Coding (ECC) for high reliability.
The flash memory data storage device contains no
moving parts, is fast, noiseless, light and rugged. It
operates in the Flash like an industry standard
Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) hard disk drive.
However, unlike disk drives, flash memory speed does
not decrease with increasing amounts of data stored; nor does disk storage fragmentation occur.
Each Flash has been preprogrammed at the factory for out-of-box (plug-and-play) operation on the
Strata DK14 and DK40i.
Both models, the two-port (SG-F-2) and the four-port (SG-F-4), come from the factory equipped
with a flash memory cartridge that provides approximately four hours of voice storage. A 256MB
CompactFlash card upgrade is available from Toshiba that provides approximately 22 hours of
voice storage. In the event of a power failure, Flash does not require additional batteries to retain
its memory.
Upgrading the Flash to four ports does not require any hardware and is performed remotely by
Toshiba.
The Flash system can be placed on a table top or wall mounted, if desired. Two wall mounting
screws and wall anchors are included with the system.
Basic administrative functions (e.g., adding User IDs, resetting passwords) can be performed by
the System Administrator using a touchtone telephone (see System Administrators Mailbox on
page 38 for details). For detailed administration interface and customer database storage, a
separate IBM-compatible PC equipped with a keyboard and monitor is required. A prefabricated
cable (SG-ADMCBL), designed expressly for Stratagy Admin communication, is available from
Toshiba.
Important! In order to maintain Stratagy system integrity, customer-supplied anti-virus software
should be resident and active on any PC that is connected for any reason to Stratagy.
