Digital 2.0 Release
BBS Telecom officially released the Plexus Digital
2.0 software on September 27, 1999, and began shipping the new Digital 2.0
Plexus System Manual and Authorized Dealer CD to all Authorized BBS
Telecom dealers on this date.
Plexus systems can be upgraded to Digital 2.0 XOS (if
purchased from BBS Telecom after November 1, 1998). Contact your sales representative, BBS Technical
Support, or reference your 2.0 Dealer CD for more upgrade and pricing
information
Most version 1.01 Plexus Keyphones can be upgraded to Digital 2.0
firmware. This involves the replacement of two chips inside the Key
Telephones. The two chips required to upgrade the Key Telephone to version
2.0 are available. For
further information, please contact BBS Telecom at bbst_sales@bbsgroup.com.sg
NOTE: Due to hardware limitations, version 1.01 analog DSS
Operator Consoles cannot be upgraded to version 2.0 software.
Will version
1.01 Key Telephones be compatible with the new
software?
Yes. Upgrading the Plexus system to the Digital 2.0
XOS will expand the Plexus and version 1.01 analog Key Telephones
functionality for most features. See the chart below for a comparison of
functionality within Key Telephone versions.

 Digital Trunk Interfaces
T-1, E-1,
ISDN PRI and BRI digital trunk cards for the Plexus Hybrid Digital
Telephone Systems are available. New hardware
includes:
T-1/E-1 CAS
Digital Trunk Interface Card;
Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) is a generic name
for a signaling method used on T-1 and E-1 carriers. T-1 uses Robbed Bit
Signaling (RBS). This method utilizes all 24 channels for voice, data, and
signaling, offering 24 voice channels for the Plexus system. E-1 provides
30 ‘clear’ channels for voice. The two remaining channels are reserved for
framing and signaling. Each voice channel represents a digital trunk into
the Plexus system.
ISDN PRI
Digital Trunk Interface Card
ISDN PRI is an interface between a user and a digital
telephony network capable of delivering many types of services. PRI can be
implemented on either a T-1 or an E-1 carrier. In both cases, the full
bandwidth of the bearer or B-channels is available for the transmission of
voice. T-1 ISDN PRI offers 23 voice channels. E-1 ISDN PRI offers 30 voice
channels. Each voice channel represents a digital trunk into the Plexus
system.
ISDN BRI
Digital Trunk Interface Card
ISDN BRI is a communication protocol that utilizes
existing local loop wiring (i.e., standard 2-wire, single pair) to carry a
digital signal. This signal can be split into two separate voice or data
channels. A four port ISDN BRI card offers up to eight voice channels.
Each voice channel represents a digital trunk into the Plexus system.

BBST awarded Computer Telephony Judge's
Pick...

REN
School
of Telecommunications for doing "...a fantastic job
of streamlining installation." Some of the features that Richard
liked...

·
Each port on the AEI card can support virtually any
analog telephone device (e.g., single line telephone, modem, fax machine,
credit card scanner) or a key telephone.
·
The system can be programmed via PC or through a key
telephone.
·
Plexus systems are cooperative about moving phones
around or changing the type of phone.
·
Least-cost routing is an absolute breeze to program
and set up.
·
...any of the flexible keys on the phone can be set
up as macro keys.
