Both the TDS 40 and TDS 80 cabinets share the same software and hardware structure. The printed circuit cards are interchangable and feature usage and programming identical resulting in ease of use for end users and simplification of installation, programming and on going service. |
| Hybrid IP Capability | The core switching platform of the TDS Series is proven traditional digital technology which provides robust reliability and quality performance. IP enable your proven TDS System with VOIP trunking or remote teleworker IP phones and softphones. Or, create an IP based private network between multiple sites which increases efficiency and costs associated with toll calls between locations.

| Least Cost Routing | In any business environment the ability to reduce costs without negative effect can provide significant advantage for those who take the opportunity. Integration of Least Cost Routing as a STANDARD programmed feature of TDS systems provides such an opportunity. In todays communication environment there are multiple choices for communication channels and/or carriers with a variety of call costs associated, even down to different call rates dependent on the time of day. Least Cost Routing allows you to program the carrier or channel used according to the number dialed and/or the time of day. By discerning the leading digits of a number dialed LCR will then either send the number as is, insert a carrier prefix into the dial string, or select a particular trunk to carry the call. For example: mobile calls could be directed to your GSM router; local and national daytime calls prefixed to your second carrier, or directed via VoIP trunks to your ITSP for the most economical national and international tariffs. For larger business a Hybrex multi-site network with VoIP trunking between sites is an option. In these cases the combination of specified extension numbering at sites and LCR programming can be used to create desk to desk dialing and the appearance of a seamless company network. Inter-site VoIP trunking has also creates the advantage of nil tariff inter-site calls. In these ways TDS LCR allows you to program the most economical option to carry any call you make - a significant business advantage. |
| ISDN Connedctivity BRI & PRI | Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) has been proven as an effective and quality communications conduit with worthwhile and beneficial features for business. ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) provides for 2 trunks plus a data management channel. Similarly, but scaled, ISDN Primary Rate Interface (PRI) provides for 30 trunks Euro and 24 in the United States. ISDN, being digital, is also capable of carrying other data types such as video if required. The integration of ISDN in TDS systems provides the high sound quality and multimedia access inherent in ISDN. The real business advantage however comes with the additional features TDS ISDN integration provides. Features such as: Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN) - the provision of multiple numbers for your business, essential for DID (below). Direct Inward Dial (DID) - allowing incoming callers direct access to extensions without going through the switchboard. Calling Line Identification (CLI) - allowing you to identify the originating number of incoming calls from the ISDN network. Calling Line Identification Presentation (CLIP) - allows the presentation of a specific number for all outgoing calls. Calling Line Identification Restriction (CLIR) - allows the restriction of identification for outgoing calls. Advice of Charge (AOC) - at the end of each call, approximate call cost can be notified (subject to network provider). Network Based Call Diversion, Transfer, or Conference - divert, transfer, or conference calls without tying up your lines. Should you require, the TDS ISDN interface hardware also allows connection to E1/T1 interfaces |
