Hicom 300
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hicom 300 is a telephone exchange system from Siemens used by big companies such as IBM, UBS, Swisscom and Nestlé. The Hicom system has been surpassed by the HiPath system (which is in turn being surpassed by Siemens's VoIP offerings). The Hicom/HiPath series are a modular set of phone systems which come in several shapes and sizes, from the smallest wall-mountable units which support a few dozen clients to the largest modular block units which take multiple cards for digital (ISDN), POTS (analogue), and VoIP cards. These phones are typically administered via a LAN card with Siemens's phone management software ('Manager E'), and are extremely powerful.
HICOM uses Siemens developed software COMTES or COMWIN to give full access to configure the system. The interface between COMWIN and HICOM can be LAN, Serial or Modem. The LAN access uses IP protocol whit a built in setting (IP:192.0.2.3 mask:255.255.255.0 and Gateway:192.0.2.4) which must be supported either by the stand alone terminal or by attached network.
