Features of IP Networking 
 
Transparent for End Users
 •   No special telephones are required, as the conversion of voice into IP packets takes place in the LAN gateway rather than in the telephone.
 •   The transfer of the general network features has no effect on the way the telephones are used, and therefore does not restrict the convenience of the telephone functions in any way.
 •   DTMF signals: DTMF signals are supported. It is therefore possible to have suffix dialing or to listen to voice mail over the IP network.

Support of Network-wide Features  
HiPath 5000 supports the CorNet NQ protocol; in this process CorNet NQ-specific features are transmitted over the IP network (tunneling).
The following applies: The features that are currently transmitted in a HiPath 3000 corporate network are also supported by HiPath 5000 with some enhancements in comparison to conventional networking. (see General Features).

Central Attendant Console  
A central attendant console can be used in HiPath 2000/HiPath OpenOffice EE / HiPath 3000 / HiPath 5000 networks. Platform-wide busy signaling is also possible.
Note  
The cross-communication platform busy signaling feature is only available with optiClient Attendant.
HiPath 5000 (Presence Manager) is not necessary for this purpose.  

Automatic Routing  
HiPath 5000 can perform automatic routing to a backup or alternative network for new connections. A voice network (such as ISDN dial-up connection) can also be used as a backup network. This ensures that the high availability of HiPath is not affected by the use of IP networks for the transfer of voice and fax connections. Automatic routing is initiated if
 •   the communication platform selected is not accessible (for example because of an error or overload in the IP network).
 •   there is no more capacity available in LAN accesses (maximum number of B channels for LAN gateway exceeded)
 •   a connection is explicitly requested (for example a modem connection)
Note  
ISDN lines are required as a trunk connection for routing data connections/VoIP connections over the integrated ISDN router.  

Network Management  
All communication platforms are administered using an enhanced version of HiPath 3000 Manager E. The HiPath 3000 Manager E tool is included in the scope of delivery and is installed on the HiPath 5000 server. From here, it is possible to have central administration of all communication platforms in a shared database. An application running permanently on the feature server is used for the automatic administration and maintenance of the IP routing tables and the transmission of data to the individual communication platforms
Network management - including troubleshooting and trace activation - can be performed both locally and remotely.
