Stratagy Enterprise Server (ES)
The Stratagy ES is a powerful hardware/software platform that consists of five models
Stratagy iES32, ES4, ES80, ES96, and ES96Rdesigned for medium to enterprise-sized
businesses.
Note Unless otherwise specified in this book, all references to Stratagy ES include the
Stratagy iES32.
The iES32 is an integrated circuit card that runs on Microsoft® Windows NT® 4.0 Embedded
operating software. The Stratagy ES4, ES80, ES96, and ES96R run on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
operating systems.
Stratagy iES32
Stratagy iES32 (shown at right) supports 4~32 ports and
exclusively installs in any Strata CTX Base or Expansion
Cabinet card slot. The iES32 is configured in increments of
four ports (i.e., 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, and 32).
The card consists of a motherboard with an Intel®
Pentium® II processor and a daughterboard that supports up
to 16-ports and a hard drive with a storage capacity of
approx. 600 hours.
A second optional 16-port daughterboard can be added to
reach the maximum 32 ports available. This daughterboard
ships with four ports installed to make a total of 20 ports.
Additional ports are added remotely as electronic upgrades
by Toshiba.
The control panel on the motherboard has eight LEDs, two switches (i.e., Shutdown, Power),
a 10/100BaseT Ethernet connection, and a serial port. The iES32s one serial port is allocated for
Toshiba Proprietary Integration (TPI).
Each iES32 has been preprogrammed at the factory for out-of-box (plug-and-play) operation on
the Strata CTX. This includes the KSU integration and configuration parameters, default station
(extension number) mailboxes, and company greeting and instructions.
The iES32 requires Stratagy ES Administration software to be installed on a separate Windows®
2000/ME/98 or Windows NT computer for remote administration over a network.
A software-based Stratagy Activation Module (SAM) called the SoftSAM is used when upgrading
the iES32 for new Feature Groups and additional port capacities. An internal (soft) modem that
operates at up to 36.6Kbps can be used for communication to any of the 32 voice ports.
The iES32 shares the same basic features and functions of the Stratagy ES product family, as well
as a number of advance applications such as Fax Server and Unified Messaging (UM).
Stratagy ES4, ES80, ES96, and ES96R
Stratagy ES standalone platforms are labeled to indicate their maximum voice port capacity. They
are Stratagy ES4, ES80, ES96 and ES96R, with the ES96R being a rack-mountable system. Each
platform is designed for incremental expansion that accept one or more ISA-based peripheral
boards from Intel in which to support voice and fax applications.
ES4 supports two~four voice ports. The ES80, ES96 and ES96R are preconfigured in software to
support from 4~48 voice ports. As an optional upgrade up to 48 additional voice ports can be
added (49~96).
