Siemens Ready

Siemens Enterprise Networks engaged Scientific Capital Corporation to test its Alarm Monitoring System (AMS), using a methodology and test bed developed by Siemens. The goal of testing was to evaluate how well the AMS integrated with the HiPath 4000™ PBX system and its capability to generate REAL TIME call records transmitted to the AMS. Testing was completed using the AMS software Version 3.0.

The HiPath 4000™ family

The HiPath 4000™ family is the industry's only IP convergence platform that supports all three network environments: circuit switched, packet switched and mixed. This results is a comprehensive evolution strategy for IP that delivers the best investment protection for enterprise businesses. The HiPath 4000™ combines the benefits of IP networking with the rich features, applications and availability of a circuit-switched system. The HiPath 4000™ family delivers the ability to extend survivable access points across an enterprise IP network to operate as one system and support local trunking at the remote location. The HiPath 4000™ family, large enterprise system, maintains quality, reliability and features, while leveraging the enterprise IP LAN/WAN infrastructure, when and where it makes sense for an enterprise business.

The HiPath 4000™ is a modular, chassis-based IP PBX that leverages IP transport to support 2,000 users and serve up to 40 distributed access points at remote locations.

A strength of the HiPath 4000™ is its broad station device support, including wireless sets and several soft phone/telephony applications, including the OptiPoint family of instruments, OptiClient 130™, OptiClient Attendant™, and the Web based Client Assistant.

Siemens provided the HiPath 4000™ for testing. Based on a series of tests conducted by Scientific Capital Corporation and Siemens personnel, the AMS suite of products proved itself a steady performer offering the correction industry a quality telephone alarm reporting system. We conducted a series of tests including real time call record reliability and the ability for the AMS to properly analyze and sense each call record for alarm information.

The AMS system tested offers a strong features set, incorporating not only sensing for alarms, but a Watch Call Ring Reporting package as well as a Call Record Management System (CRMS©) database for common user telephone extensions management.

The Alarm Monitoring System, integrated with the Siemens HiPath 4000™, fully meets the expectations and requirements of the correction industry for which it was designed and Scientific Capital Corporation is hereby certified as a Siemens Ready Partner.
