IP Phone Systems By ShoreTel Authorized Dealer
KTS NETWORK 
SOLUTIONS of California ~ Headquartered in Los Alamitos
The 
ShoreTel IP Office Phone System is a completely distributed, modular voice 
communication solution with no single point of failure that is layered on top of 
your IP network. The 
ShoreTel IP Telephones have a modern elegant style, which are easy to use. 
At the heart of the system is the standards-based Distributed IP Voice 
Architecture, which uniquely distributes call control intelligence to voice 
switches connected anywhere on the IP network. In addition, the Shoreline 
architecture distributes voice applications – including voicemail and automated 
attendant - to servers across locations, rather than centralizing applications 
at the network core. 
 
The resultant 
solution provides a single image system for all locations and all voice 
applications. Gone are the days of multiple PBXs, multiple voice mail systems, 
multiple automated attendants, multiple ACD systems—all with their unique 
management interfaces. The Shoreline system is distributed, the voice 
applications are bundled, and the management interface is integrated—finally, 
somebody got it right.

Distributed Call Control 
The heart of the ShoreTel IP Office system is the Distributed Call 
Control software that runs on the ShoreGear voice switches on top of VxWorks, an 
embedded, real-time operating system. Each call control element does the call 
setup and call tear down including features such as transfer, conference, 
forward, etc. The voice switches communicate on a peer-to-peer basis eliminating 
any single point of failure. For instance, if one ShoreGear voice switch goes 
off-line, all other ShoreGear voice switches continue operating. When the voice 
switch comes back on-line, the switch rejoins the voice network without 
impacting system operation. There is no server involved with the basic 
telephony, thus the system delivers levels of availability unmatched by even 
legacy vendors. 

ShoreWare Software 
The ShoreWare software is composed of Distributed Call Control 
Software, Voice Application Software, Desktop Application Software, and 
Management Software.
Management 
ShoreWare Director is a browsed-based network management tool 
that provides a single management interface for all voice applications across 
all locations. When you add a new user on the Shoreline system, the user gets an 
extension, gets a mailbox, gets an auto-attendant profile, can be added to an 
ACD group, and even gets an E-mail to download their desktop software - all from 
a single management screen. Gone are the days of multiple PBXs, multiple voice 
mail systems, multiple automated attendants, multiple ACD systems—all with their 
multiple management interfaces!
