In fact, MiVoice Connect is so easy to administer that non-technical employees can handle MACs in seconds.
How It Works
Mitel ST Series Voice Switches
MiVoice Connect typically features a central deployment of Mitel Connect ST series voice switches. The voice switches aren’t servers, they’re flash-based appliances that provide the connection between your local telephone companies and your IP network. Mitel Connect switches handle call control intelligence, including routing tables and database. They’re available for SIP, PRI or analog trunking in either solid-state hardware, or virtualized form running on your X86 compliant server.
The ST series switches feature two-stage upgrades, built-in conference ports, 500-port IP switches and USB ports for extended logging. They run on Linux DVS and are seamlessly interoperable with Windows DVS, including the OVA image for deployment on virtual machines. There’s no need to install or manage the operating system, it’s part of the Mitel Connect software.
Your switch installation is supported by a single application server. No matter how large or spread out your operations may be, one server is all you’ll ever need1 for your entire Mitel Connect system. On that server, you’ll run our best-in-class network administration software, Connect Director, and the Connect desktop app.
To provision additional locations, simply add a voice switch to handle the number of phones needed at the new location. MiVoice Connect uses peer-to-peer connectivity to distribute your system’s intelligence across all the installed devices. This enables multi-site phone systems to work like a single system, managed by a simple web interface. This “single image” architecture makes even huge deployments unbelievably easy to set up and maintain.
