Do Anything.
The Strata CTX670 has a mission: to enable you to connect with customers; promote teamwork; grow when you need, as you need; and do so with a flair for enhancing your bottom line. One look at its design and you’ll see for yourself. Universal slot architecture allows you to create almost any combination of trunk lines, telephones, and peripherals. QSIG protocol and Toshiba-specific QSIG ele­ments enable networked systems to function as one large Strata system. This gives your centralized attendant information about both internal and external calls from other system nodes in the network. It also enables you to share a central voice mail system, coordinate extension numbers for simplified intersys­tem network dialing, and give remote users access to full network features. Add in Voice Over Internet Protocol, and you greatly reduce long-distance costs to and from remote nodes on the network.
