officeserve 500

The officeserve 500 arrived in early 2004 to succeed the iDCS500 that had previously displaced three cabinet DCS applications.

An officeserve 500 single chassis provided nine card slots into which could 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 officeserve 500 different was the inclusion of the MGI-2 and MGI-3 media gateway interfaces for voice-over-IP communications.

Expanding the officeserve 500 required either one or two additional shelves with slot 9 being utilised for the SCP2.  In each of the expansion cabinets the MCP2 would be replaced by an LCP2 for shelf processing.

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

The officeserve 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 officeserve 500 systems.
