Typical Scenarios

Define the scenario first, then select the model.

Terminal models depend on wiring conditions, room size, and movement range; platform selection depends on scale, compliance requirements, and whether to retain existing equipment. The following four scenarios serve as starting points.

  • Terminal: Cabling, Rooms, and Mobility Range
  • Platform: Scale, Compliance, and Deployment Location
  • Interoperability: Teams, Zoom, and Existing Gateways
  • Refactor: Phased rollout with zero downtime

Headquarters and Branches

Aura's CM, SM, and SMGR handle call control and SIP routing. S8300E and G430/G450 serve as branch gateways, enabling internal calls even when the WAN connection is down.

Complete deployment for SMEs

IP Office 500 v2 or Server Edition provides call control, integrated with MM Recording, Professional Voicemail, and conference bridging to support front desk, workstations, and meeting rooms in a single system.

Front-desk and high-volume call center roles

J179 or 9408: Multi-key and expansion module allow the receptionist to monitor all department numbers from one station. Dual-color LED indicators display key status directly—no memorization required.

Replace existing digital phones

The 1400 and 9600 series have been discontinued. You can replace them by floor in batches with the J139, J159, or J179 models. Existing numbers and dialing habits are preserved, while external expansion modules handle the additional ports.
