capacity of our Strata CIX670. As with the entire Strata CIX family, the Strata CIX1200 gives users
Toshiba’s legendary quality and reliability in an affordable VoIP system that can be networked with up
to 128 sites. The CIX1200 can be customized using Toshiba’s FeatureFlex® adaptability tool, and
provides a smooth migration path from smaller Toshiba systems. The Strata CIX1200 does not replace
the CIX670, it expands the Strata CIX product line. The CIX1200 Basic and Expanded A configurations
are the same port capacity as the CIX670 but offer expanded feature capability. The CIX1200 provides
the same feature rich functionality as existing Strata CIX systems.
Value Propositions
Strata CIX1200 is the only system of its size to allow the user to adapt capabilities to their specific
needs. Using FeatureFlex, Toshiba’s feature adaptability and customization tool, the system can be
tailored well beyond its standard system features, administrative options and programmable features.
It allows enterprises to create user-definable features company wide, by department, or for individual
users. Existing features can be modified, and new ones can be created, including features in CIX call
processing, as well as blended features that work between all system applications and resources.
The Strata CIX1200 system can be networked with other Toshiba Strata CIX systems, from other
CIX1200 systems all the way down to the small 40-port Strata CIX40 system. It can be networked for
up to a total of 128 sites to accommodate larger capacity or distributed configurations.
The networking capabilities of the Strata CIX1200 system make it a perfect solution for a headquarters
site that is networked to small or remote offices or retail/restaurant locations.

All Applications on a Single Server Delivers Clean Integration, Affordability
Toshiba Strata CIX1200 and all other Strata CIX models are compatible with Toshiba’s Strata Media
Application Server (Strata MAS), which delivers value-added application processing. The Strata MAS
is one of the first application servers to use Host Media Processor (HMP) technology resources as an
alternative to Dialogic boards in the server. HMP is more cost-effective and does not require card slots,
making the server more compact and potentially trouble free.
Strata MAS integrates all value added applications such as voice mail/unified messaging, IVR, ACD
and reporting, Video Conferencing and Collaboration, Web-based Personal and System
Administration, and FeatureFlex customization tools all on one platform. This provides better
application integration and significant cost savings over designs that require separate servers for each
application.

Announcing Strata CIX1200 Expanded Capacity 5 of 37
Compatibility and Migration
Easy Migration to Strata CIX1200 from Other Toshiba Strata CIX Systems makes growth and
expansion very cost-effective and protects your investment.
Toshiba has retained its renowned migration path with the Strata CIX1200. Users of other Toshiba
Strata business communication systems can easily migrate their systems to the new Strata CIX1200.
Telephones and almost all system interface cards may be re-used as well as voice mail systems and
the Strata MAS with resident applications. Providing a smooth migration path gives users the ability to
retain much of their original investment, while they gain the benefits of the larger system and its
additional capabilities.
All Strata DK424i and Strata CTX/CIX670 systems can be upgraded to CIX1200. All that is required is
to replace the existing processor cards with the new CIX1200 processor cards then, add RRCU cards,
fiber optic cables and cabinets. Once upgraded, the CIX1200 system has all the CIX670 features plus
almost double the capacity of a CIX670 system. The new CIX1200 processor card allows new or
existing DK424i and CIX670 systems to grow to any combination of 1000 telephones and 440 trunk
lines, up to the system maximum of 1152 ports. The new processor card installs in the current DK424i/
CIX670 cabinets and uses all existing DK424i/CIX670 parts including base and expansion cabinets,
licenses, telephones, and most circuit cards. By installing the new processor, the system can be
expanded to 12 cabinets, 5 more than the current DK424i/CIX670 systems.
The table below summarizes maximum capacity comparisons. Refer to “System Capacities” on page

CIX1200 Configurations
The maximum configuration of the CIX670 is seven cabinets; one Base Cabinet and up to six
Expansion Cabinets. The CIX1200 can be configured with up to 12 cabinets; one Base Cabinet and 11
Expansion Cabinets. The maximum configuration will support 1152 ports. Refer to Table 1, CIX1200
Processor Cards and System Capacity, below.
•The CIX1200 Basic is the same size and configuration as the CIX670 Basic, one Base and One
Expansion cabinet with the increased feature capacity shown in Table 17 on Page 33.
•The CIX1200 Expanded A is the same size and configuration as the CIX670 Expanded, one Base
and up to six Expansion cabinets for a total of seven cabinets with the increased feature capacity
shown in Table 17 on Page 33
•The CIX1200 Expanded B configuration allows the full 12 cabinet, 1152 port capacity. Refer to
Table 17 on Page 33.
The new processor cards are the basis of the new CIX1200.
The full size CIX1200 Expanded B system (HCTU1+HEXBU1) is configured in two equipment stacks.
•The Base Cabinet Equipment Stack with the Base Cabinet and up to six expansion cabinets
•The Expansion Cabinet Equipment Stack with up to five expansion cabinets
The first six expansion cabinets of a CIX1200 system are connected to the Base Cabinet using the
same ribbon cables as a CIX670 system. Cabinets 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 are connected to the Base
Cabinet through dealer supplied fiber optic cables. Each Fiber Optic cable, connecting an RRCU card
in the base stack to an RRCU in an expansion cabinet, can interface one or two expansion cabinets.
Refer to Figure 8. Any of the first six expansion cabinets can be located at a remote location by using
RRCU cards and fiber optic cables.
SD Memory Card Compatibility
In addition to storing the system database and program file, the SD memory card can also store
system log files. The Strata CIX1200 system is compatible with Toshiba brand 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB,
and 4 GB-SDHC memory cards. The system limits the amount of memory available for log files. The 1
GB and larger memory cards can store approximately 13 times (or more) the number of log files as the
512 MB SD card. The greater the number of log files stored on the SD card the longer the system
requires to become ready after a power up, system reset, or initialization. When using 1 GB and larger
SD cards to store log files, the SD card should be replaced every two years. The smaller memory cells
in the large capacity SD cards will not last as long as the larger, low capacity memory cards.
Note The SD must be formatted on the CIX1200 system, not a PC.

The table below shows the parts required to add expansion cabinets eight through 12. These
configurations all require an HCTU1A + HEXBU1A processor card set installed in the Base cabinet.
When upgrading a wall/floor-mount base cabinet refer to HECP1A EMC Shield Kit on Page 27.
Each stack can be rack-mount or wall/floor-mount cabinets. Each stack is assembled according to the
procedures in the Strata CIX Installation and Maintenance Manual.
The Expansion Cabinet Equipment Stack can be a maximum of 1.86 miles (3 km) from the Base
Cabinet Equipment Stack. One RRCU circuit card connects to up to two Expansion cabinets via a
single multi-mode fiber-optic cable pair. One fiber cable pair can support one or two expansion
cabinets using one RRCU in the Base Cabinet and another in the Expansion Cabinet.
The type of cabinets in an equipment stack must be the same. Do not mix rack-mount and wall/floor
mount cabinets within a stack. The equipment stacks do not need to match. An existing wall-mount
CIX670 system can be expanded to a CIX1200 system by connecting a second equipment stack of
rack-mount expansion cabinets.
Expansion Cabinets connected by fiber optic cables support the BIOU for external Page Zones, Night
Bell, etc., and all CO line and trunk interface PCBs.
Digital Trunk Interface Card Location
For proper Strata CIX system processor Time Switch synchronization with ISDN and T1 lines must be
setup as follows.
•PRI and T1 cards, programmed as the Primary or Secondary clock source (“System Data”
command), must be installed in the base cabinet or an expansion cabinet connected to the base
cabinet with ribbon cable.
•Do not install Primary or Secondary clock source PRI and T1 cards in expansion cabinets
connected to the base cabinet stack with fiber cables.

Fiber Optic Interface
The fiber optic interface for the Strata CIX1200 is the same RRCU1A card used to interface CIX670
Remote Cabinets. Refer to Figure 6. Each RRCU drives a multi-mode fiber optic cable pair and is
capable of interfacing two cabinets. Refer to Figure 8.
The location of the RRCU cards is relatively non-critical but, the HDCL1A-M cables must reach from
the EEXBS card connectors (refer to Figure 10) to the RRCU card edge connectors (refer to Figure 6).
The Base Cabinet Equipment Stack RRCU cards will all be placed in the Base Cabinet or in a cabinet
immediately above or below the Base Cabinet. The RRCU does not use time slots or connect to the
backplane switching at all. The RRCU card only draws power from the cabinet backplane. HDCL1A-M
cables will, typically, reach the first four or five slots of the cabinet above or below the RRCU and all
(except B101 and B102) slots in the base cabinet. Refer to Figure 7.
In the Expansion Cabinet Equipment Stack RRCU card placement is limited by cable length. While the
configuration tables and figures always show the RRCU in the even-numbered expansion cabinets,
they could be placed in an odd-number cabinet.
