Using Hipath as Dealer Board

[lloydie2]

I have a customer how wishes to use a telephone system as a dealer Board.
They require that they have 12 keys programmed with external numbers against each. They can then dial and toggle between these calls by press they programmed keys.

Is this possible on Hipath 3000?

Hipath trading turrets are available but if this is for a brokerage house I would avoid this solution like the plague. Dealerboards are non blocking and have a response time <20ms which pbx's aren't. Dealerboard systems (IPC, etrali & BT) are designed for this purpose and also if your pbx crashes (never happen on a hipath) you have also lost your dealerboards and no one wants to try and calm down a stressed out coked up trader if they don't have to.

Do you think the siemens can cater for 6-12 dealer turrets, maybe going upto 24?

Solution : Communications Integrated With Trading Turret Functionality Via A Siemens HiPath Trading System

xxxx selected a Siemens communications solution that supports over 800 users with 110 integrated Siemens HiPath Trading Turrets. This solution gives the brokers the flexibility of using either the single-line phones or turrets for making their transactions.

Since the trading systems share the same backplane with the communications platform, traders can transfer or conference calls to the back office or to anyone anywhere in the world – a unique feature unavailable to Wall Street firms until now. What's more, he added, he can record calls right out of the Siemens trading system, a critical feature for documenting the verbal buy-and-sell orders that come in over the phone to the floor traders.
