Section 1:The Basics
spire from NEC allows you to converge your voice and data network
and enjoy the many advantages of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
while enjoying the hundreds of features you’ve come to expect from tra-
ditional digital/analog switching. Aspire lets your organization beneÞt from the
potential cost-saving advantages of IP even if you’re not ready to migrate to 100%
IP Telephony immediately. That’s because Aspire gives you a choice: You can
deploy traditional circuit-switched technology, VoIP or a combination, all from one
system! You have the freedom to adopt VoIP when and where you need it.
Peer-to-Peer Switching
“Peer-to-peer” switching means that the stations participating in a call are con-
nected directly to each other through the IP network. The signals travel through
the IP network but do not “go through” the switch as they do in traditional tele-
phony. The fact that Aspire can function in and support a “hybrid” network with
traditional digital/analog switching, IP/TDM/IP switching and pure peer-to-peer
IP switching means that users can continue to utilize their existing equipment
while they begin to phase in IP Telephony and lay the foundation for current and
future networks.

Elegant Sophisticated Design
Aspire’s Voice over IP (VoIP) capability allows you to place voice calls over the
data
network . VoIP reduces long distance charges by using IP to connect multiple
ofÞce locations and telecommuters. Remote workers also have access to main
ofÞce features, such as voice mail, allowing ofÞces to operate as a single unit.
Aspire Mail , an optional digitally linked in-switch voice mail, provides sophisti-
cated features that save time and money.
Return call with Caller ID saves caller ID
information for inside- and outside-originated calls.
Answering Machine Emula-
tion
is helpful when you are waiting for an important call. It lets you listen while a
caller is leaving a message for you.
Message Center Keys allow two people sharing
the same phone to have their own message waiting key. Each person can see if he/she
has new messages.
Conversation Record saves and records your conversation into
your mailbox with the touch of a button.
Park and Page allows a caller to page you
before leaving a message.You can pick up the call from any station.
Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) distributes calls evenly among member agents
and provides initial and repetitive announcements that encourage callers to remain
online. Callers can leave a message if they choose to receive a callback from an agent.
Optional PC-based
Supervisor with Reports can be used for agent scheduling.
Wireless/Cordless phones keep employees connected while away from their desk.
Aspire provides a variety of mobility solutions to connect your whole campus or
just your ofÞce.
System maintenance allows for online HTML-based programming access either
on-site or over the Internet. Using browser software simpliÞes the process for
changing names or speed dial settings. Special PC software is available for off-line
programming and remote access by modem.
Call Logging saves information about incoming and outgoing calls. Logged calls
can be redialed or saved to speed dial.
Aspire’s Automatic Route Selection (ARS) system decides whether to place a
call with a long distance carrier, over IP or, if allowed, a local trunk. You specify
how you want your calls to be routed.
E911 Compatibility identiÞes the origination of an E911 call so emergency ser-
vices can reach the speciÞc extension location quickly.

Keyset Adapters
Each Aspire keyset (except the 2-Button telephone) accepts the following optional adapters, though
there are limitations with phone types (such as IP) and adapter compatibility. Each telephone can
have up to two adapters installed except when an IP adapter is used. This adapter uses the full space
on the keyset, preventing any other adapter installation. In addition, the IP adapter cannot be used
on a Super Display telephone.
You can install one of these. . .
●Call Recording Adapter (ADA) (P/N 0890055)
Using the ADA Adapter provides a recording jack connection which provides a connection from a
telephone to an external tape recorder or speaker.
●Analog Interface with Ringing (APR) (P/N 0890056)
The APR provides an analog interface for a keyset. The APR provides ringing which allows the
connected device to be used for incoming and outgoing calls. It can use the same extension number
as the keyset (B1 channel) or it can have its own extension number (B2 channel). The APR does not
support reverse polarity, message waiting lamping, or Caller ID.
This adapter requires an AC Adapter (AC-2R), P/N 780135.
The APR for the B1 channel consumes no ports, however, the B2 channel consumes 1
port, ranging from 512 to 1 in descending order.
●Analog Interface without Ringing (APA) (P/N 0890057)
The APA provides an analog interface for a keyset. The connected device is used for outgoing calls
only (for example, when using a modem). It does not provide ringing. When an analog device is in
use, the keyset cannot be used (as the same port number is used for both devices). If both devices
are picked up at the same time, the analog device takes priority. The APA does not support reverse
polarity, message waiting lamping, or Caller ID.
●RS-232C Adapter (CTA) (P/N 0890058)
Provides a serial interface (RS-232C) connector. This can be used for SMDR or TAPI (1.4) or sys-
tem reporting.
●Speakerphone Adapter (HF-R) (P/N 0890062 & 0890063)
Offers 22-Button, 34-Button, and Super Display keysets high quality speakerphone capability.
This adapter requires an AC Adapter (AC-2R), P/N 780135.
●USB Adapter (CTU) (P/N 0890059)
Provides a USB connector. This can be used for either SMDR, TAPI (1.4) or system reporting.
This adapter requires an AC Adapter (AC-2R), P/N 780135.
●24-Button DLS Console (P/N 0890053 & 0890054)
Refer to the “110-Button DSS Console and 24-Button DLS Console” on 24-Button DLS Console
— P/Ns 0890053 & 0890054 (page 12) for more details.

10 Product Description
●IP Adapter (P/N 0890060)
Provides the ability to communicate through a LAN which is connected to a VOIPU or 8SHUBU
PCB. The VOIPU or 8SHUBU PCB is required in order to communicate with non-VoIP Aspire
phones, as well as to place or receive outside calls. This adapter cannot be used on a Super Display
telephone.
This adapter requires an AC Adapter (AC-2R), P/N 780135.
●IPhone Power Failure Adapter (PSA) (P/N 0890067)
Provides power failure capacity for the IPhone IP keysets. This allows a user to make or receive an out-
side call using the central ofÞce if an IP keyset is unable to make or receive a call using the LAN.
●IP Call Recording Adapter (ADA2) (P/N 0890066)
Using the ADA2 Adapter provides a recording jack connection which provides a connection from
an Aspire IPhone to an external tape recorder or speaker.
The following chart indicates if there are restrictions when combining certain adapters. Select the adapter in
the column and then select the adapter in the row to see if there are any restrictions. For example, using an
APA and APR adapter refers you to restriction 3 (only one voice path provided - adapters can not be used
together)

When installing the adapters, the keyset should Þrst be unplugged from the system. Also note that
the adapters may have an AC/DC power jack. Power is not required for all the adapters.You should
refer to the information for the speciÞc adapter to determine whether a power source is needed.
Telephones with any of these adapters installed cannot be wall-mounted. The bracket will not
accommodate the adapter(s).
1 = The IP Adapter takes the full space provided for adapters on the keysets. Therefore, if an IP adapter is
installed, no other adapters can be used.
2 = Only one adapter of the same type can be used on a keyset.
3 = As there is only one voice path provided for adapters, the APR and APA adapters can not both be used
on the same keyset.
4 = Due to protocol collision, the CTU and CTA adapters can not both be used on the same keyset.
5 = The ADA2 and PSA Adapters can only be installed on the Aspire IPhone, which only has one adapter
connection. Therefore, if either the ADA2 or PSA is installed, no other adapters can be used.
6 = As this adapter requires the AC power adapter, it can not be installed on a phone with an APR or
Speakerphone adapter, which also requires power. The placement of the AC power adapter plug will
not allow the unit installed on the left side of the phone to receive power.
