An OpenScape Business network is controlled by the so called Master Node, which does not require necessarily additional HW/SW depending on the size of the network. An administrator can access all network subscribers via the Single Point of Administration within the Master Node. When changes are made within the Master Node administration, the databases of the individual network nodes are automatically synchronized.

A LAN/WAN based IP network is required as prerequisite for networking. OpenScape Business systems can be networked via IP or via digital trunks. Both S0 as well as S2M lines with QSIG protocol can be used for the connection.

Within the following some essentiall networking scenarios are shown. Details, prerequisites and even more scenarios are decribed within the administration manual of OpenScape Business.


Networking Multiple OpenScape Business X1/X3/X5/X8 Systems
Up to 32 OpenScape Business communication systems can be networked with each other.

Networking OpenScape Business and OpenScape Business S (Single Gateway)
Up to 32 OpenScape Business X1/X3/X5/X8 and S communication systems can be networked with one another. Multiple OpenScape Business S systems are allowed in an internetwork. Single Gateway means that all IP stations registered at OpenScape Business S only use ONE gateway to the PSTN.

Networking OpenScape Business and OpenScape Business S (Multi Gateway)
Up to 32 OpenScape Business X1(W)/X3/X5/X8 and S communication systems can be networked with one another. Multi-gateway means that every IP station registered at OpenScape Business S is assigned to exactly one specific gateway.
