Your telecommunications system — no matter how technologically advanced —should always remain true to its primary purpose: that of helping you communicate more easily, more effectively, and more conveniently. The Strata CIX40 takes that concept seriously. Its sophisticated, yet simple, design enables you and your employees to take care of business without having to master complicated procedures or learning intricate new features. With a short introduction, you’ll be using all its advanced functions in no time.

The telephone’s LCD display makes it easy to access and use key functions through feature prompting that displays simple, clear instructions. Programmable buttons save time by putting key capabilities just a push-button away. Built-in Caller ID helps you decide which calls to accept now, and which to send to voice mail. And features like Auto Attendant and voice mail maintain your professional company image at any hour, and are critical during times when employees of many hats are focused on other important tasks and are unable to tend to the telephone.

Toshiba provides a variety of telephone models to meet your needs, from speakerphones and cordless telephones to specialized answering solutions like the 20-button Add-On Module, 60-button DSS Console, or Strata CTX Attendant Console.

Finally a telecommunications system that really works for you. The Strata CIX40 goes well beyond typical communications features to include numerous capabilities that help you save money, improve profitability, and streamline your operations.

Call logs and reporting give you instant access to calling summaries and breakdowns, so you know where your expenses go and client billing is easier than ever. Built-in features also give you the ability to restrict long-distance calls or particular area codes. And the system automatically routes your calls over the least costly trunk line or carrier for truly automated money-savings. Upgrades are also fast, simple, and efficient thanks to remote programming and testing. High-end features in a value-priced system. That sounds right for any small business.

Toshiba offers many standard and optional innovative features including Call Answering options, Computer

Telephony Integration, Remote User capabilities, and more.

voice processing. Assures that calls are efficiently managed when call volumes are high, when your

receptionist is not available, and after hours.

Allows callers to leave detailed messages for specific employees. With Toshiba in-skin voice processing

in the Strata CTX, calls are handled faster and more efficiently, which assures that the customer’s needs

your users.

Record button on your digital telephone. To stop the recording, simply press the Record button again.

• Call Monitor

While a caller is leaving you a message in your mailbox, you can listen to the caller and answer the call if

Ensures important calls get through. Enables a station to speak to another busy station user. Call announcements can be made through the handset.

With Toshiba ACD Call Center capabilities in the Strata CTX, calls are queued and sent to the next available agent. Incoming calls are distributed evenly, maximizing productivity and assuring quick, efficient call handling.

•Management Information System (MIS)

With Call Center Reporting in the Strata CTX, real time monitoring and reports enable you to get the most

out of your ACD by allowing you to analyze agents’ performance, call center group activity, and system

Permits incoming calls to be routed to an outside telephone number. Allows station users to cancel or change the destination of forwarded CO line calls from outside the office.

touch of just one button.

This helps you determine cost-saving strategies.

Power Outage Protection:

• Battery Backup
