Features

ARIA SOHO is designed to be a user manageable telephone system in regard to installation and O&M. With Plug & Play facility thru a full-hybrid architecture, the ARIA SOHO gives a maximum flexibility in selecting types of user terminals whether dealing with Analog SLT, FAX or Digital phone. And when connecting external lines, ARIA SOHO recognizes varying signals identifying FAX from voice and automatically delivering them to the appropriate types of terminals.
In fact, this facility can especially satisfy the needs of small- to medium-sized enterprises as well as home users with little-to-no engineering background.

LG-Nortel DIGITAL technologies: Making services costless
Traditionally in the small telephony environment, fundamentals in technology seem to be beyond the interest of users as long as basic services are satisfied. This nature often keeps users from evolving to an upgraded environment for smarter communications and also forces them to resort to a separate payment for additional services. As one of basic components, LG-Nortel has developed an integrated device and implemented it into a basic cabinet of ARIA SOHO making some of services costless.

Affordable scale to 48 extensions Due to its digital architecture, ARIA SOHO easily and affordably expands up to 48 extensions without wasting initial investment.

Empowering analog extensions
As cost can be a primary issue for most small offices, digital telephones could be selectively given to only a few employees. Accordingly, the majority of system features should be easily supported to SLT users rather than digital proprietary telephones users. In ARIA SOHO, the upgraded services represented by SMS, CID and several PC applications are analog extension focused.

Managing communication costs ARIA SOHO provides services to monitor and restrict outgoing traffic (as needed) in order for a manager to control communication cost.

Sophisticated service options On users’ requests, ARIA SOHO can provide additional sophisticated options usually offered in larger telephone systems.
-TAPI interface for integration with 3rd party applications -PC based attendant (ez-Attendant) -TAPI based PC phone (ez-Phone) -Built-in type voice mail / auto attendant -Modem unit for remote maintenance -LAN interface for Ethernet connection

Customer driven system
Small enterprises or home users may want to have full-control to manage the system for themselves. ARIA SOHO gives hands-on methods for M&O like PC-Admin (On-line / Off-line) software and Speed Editor for updating the User database

Caller ID for CO lines & analog extensions The ARIA SOHO detects caller identification information (CID) from the CO Line and displays it on CID capable SLT as well as digital telephone. Compatible CID signals for CO line are FSK type, DTMF type and ANIFor extension side, an SLT user should have a CID capable SLT supporting FSK or DTMF type protocol.

Short Message Service (SMS)
Messaging has become a very useful tool for modern lifestyle. No wonder that its application in the business environment is recently being identified as an effective way for communication. The ARIA SOHO recognizes SMS messages receive from PSTN, where available, and delivers them to SMS capable SLT or LG-Nortel’s TAPI phone (ez-phone). The compatible specification for SMS is Protocol type I of ETSI ES 201 912.

Call Cost Control/Monitoring As telecommunication cost seems to be one of the major issues that takes a big place in the cost sheet for running a small enterprise. The ARIA SOHO provides a variety of call cost control/monitoring facilities.

• Call Cut–Off Timer for each extension Activated and set by system programming. When the timer expires, on-going calls will be disconnected.
• Pre-paid Call Works with the optional Call Metering Unit (CMU) that recognizes specific billing signals received from PSTN and gives each extension limited minutes for out-going calls
• Barge in Enabled a designated extension to intrude in on-going conversation after a warning tone is presented.
• SMDR For billing in the ARIA SOHO, up to 1,000 calls can be logged in before being printed out or downloaded to a PC.
• Least Cost Routing(LCR) Automatically uses LCR tables and types of operation to identify the least expensive routes for outgoing calls.

• TAPI Interface (1st /3rdparty) The most commonly used CTI interface TAPI can be enable that extensions can use TAPI compatible software for making calls.
• LG-Nortel’s TAPI based PC phone (ez-Phone) Provides individual desk top call control as well as a handy tool to send/receive/save SMS.
• WindowsTM based Attendant (ez-Attendant) PC based attendant console running on MS-Windows will be a good supplementary option replacing an attendant console. Normally, running the software attendant is preferred in large scale configuration of the ARAI SOHO consisting of 2 cabinets rather than one cabinet configuration.
