SECTION 1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Electra Elite IPK system is a complete communications system that enhances
productivity and controls costs. Its objectives were based on four Es – Easy to Install,
Easy to Maintain, Easy to Expand, and Easy to Use – all at a reasonable price. The
Electra Elite IPK, like all NEC communications products, is user-friendly, reliable, and
cost-effective.
H
Easy to Install
With the Electra Elite IPK system, NEC has reduced the number of hardware
components, making the system easier to install. Only 1-pair wire is required to
connect telephones. This system provides Windows 95/98, Windows ME,
Windows 2000, and Windows XP-based PC programming, with a menu-driven
guide, to both simplify and speed installation. All programming information and
station labels can be printed as completed. For further convenience and
versatility, end-user programming is provided for up to approximately 35
features.
H
Easy to Maintain
When system memory failure occurs, PC Programming software can be used
locally or from a remote location to upload/download all system data. Each
Electronic Telephone Unit (ETU) except those required to sustain system
operation (e.g., CPU, ACD, IPT, and VMS) can be installed or removed (hot
swap) without shutting down the system. Other considerations for easy
maintenance include:
