The UNIVERGE™ NEAX® IPS-DMR is designed as an IP Remote PIM offering for NEC's NEAX 2000 IPS product family.  When connected to the host UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS or UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DML, the UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DMR provides PBX feature transparency for remote location networking over IP while offering a robust survivability solution and features not commonly found in many competing solutions. Designed specifically as an IP Remote PIM (Physical Interface Module) application, the UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DMR cannot be used as a standalone system.

The UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DMR is designed primarily for distributed IP networking but also supports traditional analog and digital trunks for connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DMR supports up to 128 peer-to-peer IP stations and 56 TDM ports in a single modular chassis. Up to two chassis can be stacked providing maximum capacity of 112 TDM ports while still supporting as many as 128 peer-to-peer IP stations. With requisite NEC software, each host can accommodate up to 30 UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DMR s, up to 30 ISDN PRI and up to 255 hosts can be networked together.

The UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DMR minimizes hardware costs by utilizing the same chassis and therefore the same line/trunk and application processor cards as the UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS and UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DML Offering superior port density, the UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DMR includes 19" rack mounting, and each chassis only occupies two Rack Units.

In the event of a WAN failure, the UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DMR enables the remote local PBX processor to provide basic call processing and allows normal business continuity via a back-up PSTN through the duration of the failure.

The UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DMR allows you to extend features available at headquarters over an IP WAN remote location with minimal incremental cost.  Features are transparent regardless of physical location because the system regards host and remote site terminals as extensions in the same office.  As a result, you are able to leverage your investment in the UNIVERGE NEAX 2000 IPS and UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DML and other NEC solutions such as CallCenterWorX®, NEAXMail® or Unified Messaging.

Each UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DMR is equipped with a remote survivable processor connected through distributed networking, giving all remote locations the benefits of redundancy and local survivability during WAN failure. The UNIVERGE NEAX IPS-DMR can accommodate AP cards such as ISDN PRI, T1 and Central Office trunks to provide flexible PSTN back-up connectivity.
