office serve 500

The office serve 500 should more formally be called the OfficeServ500.  It arrived in early 2004 to succeed the iDCS500 that had previously displaced the applications requiring three DCS cabinets.

An office serve 500 single chassis provides nine card slots into which can be installed:  TRKB for 4 trunks and MOH port; 8TRK; 4BRI – ISDN2; TEPRI – ISDN30; 8DLI & 16DLI for keyset extensions; 8SLI, 8MWSLI, 16SLI and 16MWSLI for analogue extension ports MW=message waiting); SVMi-8 4 and 8-port voice mail.  What made the office serve 500 different was the inclusion of the MGI-2 and MGI-3 media gateway interfaces for voice-over-IP communications.

Expanding an office serve 500 requires either one or two additional shelves with slot 9 being utilised for the SCP2.  In each expansion cabinet an LCP2 would replace the MCP2 for shelf processing.

Wrapping up the office serve 500 cards are the daughter board IOM, SCM, MFM, MISC and MODEM.  These could be mounted on the main or local processors as the engineer saw fit.

The office serve 500 became obsolete in April 2007 and manufacturer’s technical support ceases in 2012.  TelephoneSystemsDirect will be providing maintenance services well beyond 2012 for owners of office serve 500 systems.
