Philips IS3000 ALC-E01

The SOPHO iS3000 Series is designed to cover the communication needs of small to very large organisations. This series of ISPBX systems comprises five models which have been optimised to different business sizes with between 20 to 65,000 extensions.

• iS3010: max. 96 ports
• iS3030: max. 608 ports
• iS3050: max. 1216 ports
• iS3070: max. 3300 ports
• iS3090: max. 10,000 ports

Up to 14 iS3070 and/or iS3090 nodes can be linked together to form one large distributed ISPBX with up to 65,000 extensions.

General Architecture

The uniform hardware architecture and common software platform provide a scaleable ISPBX system which can be tailored to meet the needs of practically any organisation, simply by adding applications.

This uniform hardware platform is based on a distributed architecture which divides the platform into three functional modules:

• Central processor Module (CM): responsible for the overall system operation, for the storage of user data and for providing central access to external applications;
• Switching network Module (SM): establishes 64 kbits/s transmission paths between end-users by using a single-stage non-blocking PCM/TDM switching matrix;
• Peripheral Module (PM): houses the plug-in boards that interface to end-user equipment. A PM has access to up to 320 64 kbits/s transmission paths and can accommodate up to 18 plug-in boards. Larger systems are assembled by adding PMs as required (up to a maximum of 31).
