IP Office 500
With a greater VCM channel capacity and performance, the IP Office 500 (IP500) is the most suitable of
the IP Office range for IP Telephony applications. It also provides an entry level offer into the IP Office
family through IP Office Standard Edition software. The IP500 also differs from the IP412 by providing a
greater trunk expansion capability of up to eight PRI/T1 circuits (maximum 192/240 trunks) on four PRI
interfaces allowed per system (4 slots). The IP500 is a stackable unit with an optional 19" rack mounting
kit and an optional wall mounting kit for smaller configurations. The IP500 includes:
• 4 slots to house a mixture of extension cards and VCM cards
• Digital Station 8 card
• Phone 2 and Phone 8 cards
• VCM-32 and VCM-64 cards
• Optional trunk daughter card support:
• Analog Trunk Module 4 card
• BRI-4 and BRI-8 cards (2 x 2B+D and 4 x 2B+D channels respectively)
• Single and Dual Universal PRI cards
• Support for IP400 trunk and VCM cards using a Legacy Card Carrier
• Slot for smart card Feature Key – required for system operation as well as licensing of optional features.
• 9-pin DTE Port for maintenance.
• Support for up to 8 IP500 Expansion Modules (requires upgrade to Professional Edition):
• Phone modules (8, 16, 30)
• Digital Station modules (16, 30)
• Analog Trunk Module 16
• BRI So8 module
• IP400 expansion modules (not WAN3 10/100 or Network Alchemy modules)
• External O/P socket supporting two relay on/off switch ports, e.g. for door entry systems.
• Audio input port for external music on hold source.
• 48 Data channels
• Up to 30 VoiceMail Pro ports
• Two 10/100 switched Ethernet ports (Layer 3).

IP Office Standard Edition
By default the IP500 control unit runs a subset of full IP Office functionality called IP Office Standard
Edition.
In this mode the IP500 is restricted to a maximum of 32 users in the base control unit with no expansion.
Supported options include Embedded Voicemail, Phone Manager Lite/Pro/PC Softphone, SoftConsole, TAPI,

SMDR, SIP trunking, mobile twinning, VPN Phone and IP DECT, as well as licenses for voice networking
(H.323 or SCN). IP Office Standard Edition does not support advanced applications (VoiceMail Pro, CCC,
Conference Center, etc). This restriction can be removed by adding an IP Office Professional Edition
Upgrade license to the configuration.
IP Office Professional Edition (LUC-202959)
By purchasing the upgrade license from Standard Edition to Professional Edition, additional functionality is
enabled. This includes the ability to expand the system using up to eight external Expansion Modules,
allowing the IP500 to support a maximum of 272 phones through a mixture of analog, digital or IP
handsets. If additional analog trunks are required, these can be aggregated in groups of 16 on each
analog expansion module. Note that the Professional Edition also enables the licensing of advanced
applications such as VoiceMail Pro.
The following table shows which features are supported by Standard Edition and which require
the upgrade to Professional Edition.

IP500 Internal Cards
The IP500 control unit has 4 slots for the insertion of cards. These cards can be divided into two types;
base cards and daughter cards. Base cards include a front panel and ports for cable connections. Daughter
cards can be added to a base card in order to provide additional facilities (typically trunk connections).
The following base cards are available:
• IP500 Digital Station 8 Card (Maximum 3).
• IP500 Analog Phone 2 Card and Phone 8 Card (Maximum 4).
• IP500 VCM Card (Maximum 2).
• IP500 Legacy Card Carrier (Maximum 2) .

IP500 VCM Card

This card provides voice compression channels for use with VoIP calls, SIP trunks and IP-based voice
networking. The module is available in variants supporting up to 32 or 64 channels. The actual number of
channels provided is controlled by the VCM Channels licenses entered into the IP500 system configuration.
Each VCM card has 4 VCM channels enabled by default. Further channels can be enabled up to the
maximum (32 or 64) through adding one or more licenses (available in 4, 8, 16, 28 and 60 channel
increments).
The maximum number of voice compression channels supported, using IP500 VCM base cards and / or
IP400 VCM cards on IP500 Legacy Card Carriers, is 128.

IP500 Trunk Cards

IP500 daughter trunk cards can be fitted to existing IP500 base cards to provide support for trunk ports.
The daughter card uses the ports provided on the base card for cable connection. The addition of an IP500
daughter trunk card is supported on IP500 Digital Station, IP500 Analog Phone and IP500 VCM base
cards.
They are not supported on the IP500 Legacy Card Carrier base card.
For those base cards that support daughter cards, there are no restrictions on the combination of card
types.
However in systems with both Analog Phone 8 base cards and analog trunk daughter cards, combining the
two types are recommended as it then provides analog power failure support for one trunk/extension (Not
applicable to the Analog Phone 2 base card).

By:Sam Hassan
Each daughter card is supplied with the spacer pegs required for installation and a label to identify the
card's presence on the physical unit once installed.

• IP500 Analog Trunk Card (Maximum 4).
• IP500 Universal PRI Trunk Card (Maximum 4).
IP500 Analog Trunk Card

This card can be added to an IP500 Digital Station card, IP500 Analog Phone base card, or IP500 VCM
card. It allows that card to then also support 4 analog loop-start trunks. It also provides one analog V.32
modem.

Voicemail
Four voicemail options are available:
• VoiceMail Lite
• Embedded Voicemail (IP Office 500)
• VoiceMail Pro
• Centralized INTUITY Audix / Modular Messaging Voicemail

VoiceMail Lite
VoiceMail Lite is the IP Office basic voicemail application and can handle up to 4 simultaneous calls. Each
user has the option of turning their voicemail on or off. When on, the system automatically answers their
telephone when they are not available to take a call, plays a personal greeting to confirm that the
intended recipient will actually receive the message, and records a message.
When a message has been left, the user will see a message-waiting lamp lit on their telephone and can
press a retrieval button to collect their messages.
VoiceMail Lite can ring the extension to deliver any new messages. When voicemail messages are left they
are time and date stamped and the caller's number noted. Once listened to, old messages are
automatically deleted 36 hours after being left, unless the user chooses to save the message permanently.
Voicemail can be collected remotely by calling into the VoiceMail Lite server. If the number the user is
dialing from is recognized (home number or Mobile/Cell Phone for example), they will listen to their
voicemail straight away. If the source number is not recognized, users will be prompted for a mailbox
number and a PIN code for that mailbox, before they can listen to voicemail. Users have the ability to set
and change their own PIN codes.
Where a voicemail needs to be copied to other users, VoiceMail Lite provides many options:
• Voicemails can be forwarded to another mailbox, or group of mailboxes
• Recipients can add their comment to the voicemail before forwarding to another mailbox or mailboxes.
• Voicemails can be forwarded as email WAV attachments.
VoiceMail Lite telephony user interface (TUI) only operates in IP Office mode, not INTUITY mode.
Note: On the IP500, VoiceMail Lite is only supported after upgrading to IP Office Professional
Edition.

Embedded Voicemail
(IP500, IP406 V2 and IP Office - Small Office Edition only)
In environments like retail or home office, where space, noise or cost considerations rule out using a PC
for voicemail, Embedded Voicemail will be the preferred option for an entry-level voicemail service. With
the Small Office Edition Embedded Voicemail makes use of the voice compression resources to optimize
the message storage by compressing messages before storing, and expanding them during playback. By
doing this up to 10 hours of messages can be stored for all users of the system. Neither the IP500 nor the
IP406 V2 require voice compression modules for storing messages and both support up to 15 hours of
storage.
Key features of Embedded Voicemail include:
• 3 Port voicemail as standard on Small Office Edition (10 ports with 16VC variants of Small Office Edition),
4 port voicemail for IP500 and IP406 V2.
• Up to 10 hours storage on Small Office Edition, 15 hours message storage on the IP500 and IP406 V2.

By:Sam Hassan
• Configurable record time: Default value 2 minutes, maximum value 3 minutes.
• Mailbox security codes ensure a minimum of 4 characters to be set.
• Multiple languages stored on the Flash Memory card.
• Help menus (via *4). Greetings and Mailbox Navigation.
• From Release 4.2, it is possible to send an email containing either notification or the complete voicemail
message from the Embedded Voicemail (IP406 V2 and IP500 units only).
• Voicemail Breakout/Personal Auto-Attendant: Up to 3 breakout numbers can be set up. When callers are
directed to your mailbox, they can either leave a message or choose to be transferred to one of three
numbers (e.g. Operator, mobile/cell phone, colleague, etc).
• Configurable system-wide short code for Voicemail collect (e.g. *17).
• 40 independent Auto Attendants with 3 time profiles per Auto Attendant.
• Up to 12 menu items per Auto Attendant with automatic time-out to fallback number.
• Access and control of voicemail via the digital or IP terminal display (Visual Voice). This feature is
supported on the 2410, 2420, 4610, 4620, 4621, 4625, 5410, 5420, 5610, 5620 and 5621 phones.
• Reply to a message to either an internal or external number (if Caller ID available).
• Support for Hunt group announcements.
• Fax option for rerouting fax calls via the auto-attendant menu.
• Support for Fast Forward (#), Rewind (*), Skip message (9) and Call Sender (**) when listening to
messages.
• No License Key required.

Voicemail Pro
(on the IP500, VoiceMail Pro is only supported after upgrading to IP Office Professional
Edition)
IP Office VoiceMail Pro offers all the features and facilities of VoiceMail Lite and can be tailored to meet the
individual needs of a business. It has higher call capacity by scaling up from 4 to 30 simultaneous calls. All
options are available in a choice of languages; both spoken voice prompts and graphical programming
interfaces and have the choice of IP Office TUI and INTUITY emulation TUI.
At the heart of VoiceMail Pro is the ability to construct call flows from a series of different building blocks.
These building blocks allow automation over tasks like answer a call, listen for tone-dialed digits, make a
call etc. VoiceMail Pro call flows allow far more than just guiding a user to the group or extension they
require. Call flows allow VoiceMail Pro to dial back users as soon as a voicemail message is left for them, it
provides remote access to phone forwarding settings should a user wish to change their Forwarding or
Follow Me number from an external telephone. VoiceMail Pro provides message handling for individuals or
groups, audio information to callers so assisting the operator during periods of heavy call activity and links
to business applications through services such as Text-to-Speech. VoiceMail Pro provides a full telephony
applications environment where call flows can be set up and interact in real time with business workflow –
callers can interact via menus and data entry and VoiceMail Pro applications can speak back results. For
example, users can listen to their email messages through the telephone
A single PC based VoiceMail Pro server can provide voicemail services to multiple IP Office systems in a
Small Community Network over the LAN, WAN or a Frame Relay network. This is referred to as
'Centralized Voicemail' and can reduce costs, while facilitating communication between IP Office sites.
Other uses for VoiceMail Pro include:
• Whisper Announce that prompts callers for information (usually their name) which is recorded and
passed on to the user's extension on answer, allowing them to choose to accept the call or not. This is
particularly useful on "CLI/ANI withheld" numbers - usually calls from telesales companies where
somebody is trying to sell you something. VoiceMail Pro will not intrude onto busy extensions.
• Assisted Transfer allows transfer of a call to a destination, but allows the call to return to VoiceMail Pro
automatically for other options should the called party be engaged, or not answer within a predetermined
time.
• Conditional routing of calls. Conditions are constructed from a set of basic elements. These elements can
be combined within a single condition to create complex rules. For example, the Week Planner can be
used to define the company's standard working hours, and then combined with the calendar to define
exception days such as public holidays / vacation.
• Call modules. Modules allow you to create sequences of actions that you want to share between a
number of different call routing scenarios – like a “macro” in PC applications. These modules can be used
to create a library of vertical voicemail applications or just easy dissemination to other IP Office voicemail
sites, thanks to its import and export functionality.
• Activation of the external relays on the IP Office system. For example, remotely checking the status of
the office heating and then turning it on from your Mobile/Cell Phone on your drive in to work.
• Finally, a Speaking Clock, that takes its time from the voicemail server, is built into VoiceMail Pro to
minimize call charges.

IP Office Conferencing
IP Office provides a flexible conferencing solution with from 3 to 64 way calling on an IP500 or IP406 V2
or 128 conference resources on an IP412. IP Office Small Office Edition provides 2 to 6 way calling with a
maximum of 24 conference resources. This means that several conferences of different sizes can all run at
the same time if the total calls do not exceed the systems conference resources. IP Office does not impose
limits on the mix of internal and external calls in conference, but if all except one call disconnects from the
conference bridge, the last calls is disconnected automatically by the system for added security.

Conference limitations:
1.Analog Trunk Restriction
In conferences that include external analog line calls, a maximum of two analog line calls are allowed per
conference.
2.External Participants
Each external caller requires a digital trunk/VoIP channel (for example 1 T1 allows 23/24 external parties,
1 E1 allows 30 parties and a VCM-20 allows 20 parties).
3.Use of Conference Resources by Other Features
System features such as call intrusion, call recording and silent monitoring all use conference resources,
as does automatic recording if enabled. When any of these features are active the number of slots
available for conference parties is reduced.
4.The IP412 Supports Two 64-party Conference Banks
When a new conference is started, the bank with the most-free capacity is used for that conference.
However once a conference is started on one conference bank, that conference cannot use any free
capacity from the other conference bank (i.e. no more than 64 parties in any one conference).

5.Meet-Me Conferencing on IP500 requires Professional Edition
IP Office Standard Edition supports 64-way basic conferencing, but if Meet-Me capabilities are required the
Upgrade License to IP Office Professional Edition should be purchased.
6.IP Office Conferencing Center
If IP Office Conferencing Center is installed, 5 resources are reserved for use by the system. The
maximum number of callers in any one conference and the total number of people on conference calls is
reduced by 5. The maximum number of conferences on the system for IP406 V2, IP412 and IP Office 500
is reduced by 2.

Licenses and Feature Keys
Some applications and devices for IP Office require the entry of licenses before they will
work. They may also require licenses to enable certain features and numbers of users,
port or channels
Licenses
License keys are also known as RFA (Remote Feature Activation) codes. Each license
is a 32-character string based on:
• The Serial Number of the IP Office Feature Key dongle.
• The feature and software being enabled
Feature Keys
The Feature Key is a hardware device used to validate the licenses installed on an IP
Office system. Each IP Office using licenses requires its own Feature Key.

Serial License Key Dongle

The IP500 uses a smart card feature key dongle.

Features
I will only mention some of the unique features of the IP office platform

Hot Desking
Hot Desking allows a number of users non-exclusive use the same extension. Each user logs in with their
own identity so they can receive calls and can access their own Voicemail and other facilities. For example,
sales personnel who visit the office infrequently can be provided with telephony and Voicemail services
without being permanently assigned a physical extension. When finished, they simply log off to make the
extension available to others or if users log on at another phone, they are automatically logged off the
original extension.

Remote Hot Desking
• The ability for a user to Hot Desk to other locations within the Small Community Network.
• Available on Digital, Analog and IP phones.
Benefit
• A user can make and receive calls from any office as if using the phone on their own desk.
• Single number, improved mobility and easy access to familiar features.
• Great for consultants, managers, lawyers working on different offices on different days.
Description
IP Office 4.0 supports remote hot desking between IP Office systems within a Small Community Network.
The system on which the user configured is termed their 'home' IP Office, all other systems are 'remote'
IP Offices.
To log on at a remote IP Office requires that IP Office to have a Small Community Advanced Networking
license. A license is not necessary on the user's home IP Office.
Note: Remote Hot Desking is not supported for use with CCC. Features handled by the telephone itself
are not affected by Hot Desking (e.g. call log and phone speed dials).

Telecommuter Mode
Phone Manager Pro allows the making and receiving of calls and the retrieving of voicemails from an
external phone number as if they were in the office, with Phone Manager providing the call control. The
typical scenario is the remote worker that occasionally works from home or from a hotel room.
This feature also provides billing convenience and potential cost savings for remote workers and mobile
work force as all the calls are established by IP Office: there is no need to check bills, nor to pay for
expensive hotel calls.

Twinning and Mobility
Twinning allows a primary extension and a secondary number (extension or external) to operate together
as a single telephone, When a call is presented to the primary phone the secondary will ring. If the
primary telephone does not ring, for example in Do Not Disturb, the secondary phone will not ring.

Internal Twinning
This is typically used in scenarios like workshops or warehouses where team supervisors may have a desk
with a fixed phone but also have a wireless extension (e.g. DECT). When a call is made from either
twinned phone, the call will appear to have come from the primary phone (when the secondary is an
extension on the IP Office system). Other users of the system need not know that the supervisor has two
different phones. The supervisor’s Coverage Timer and No Answer Time are started for the call and if the
call is not answered within that time, the call will be delivered to available coverage buttons (if applicable)
and then Voicemail (if applicable).

Mobile (external) Twinning
A typical use for Mobile Twinning would be for a salesperson who has a desk extension but is often out of
the office. They can give out one phone number to clients, but it will ring their mobile/cell phone as well
as the desk extension. External mobile devices can be set as twinning targets even if the primary
telephone is logged out (e.g. in the case of a “virtual” extension).
From IP Office 4.2 onwards, the following additional Mobility features are available in addition to simple
mobile twinning (but need to be separately enabled per user in IP Office Manager):

27

By:Sam Hassan

Mobile Call Control
This allows a user who has answered a twinned call on their mobile phone to dial a DTMF sequence
**(star-star) to put the call on hold and receive IP Office system dial tone. The user will then be able to
perform supervised and un-supervised transfers, shuttle (switch between held calls), and conference
(Conference add and transfer to a meet-me conference).
In IP Office 4.2 the existing Mobile Twinning license has been renamed to Mobility license. The license now
enables the use of Mobile Call Control and one-X Mobile client features as well as Mobile Twinning. An
instance of the license will be consumed for every user who has Mobility Features checked in IP Office
Manager. With either internal or external twinning, users may be allowed to enter a twinned number, or
may just be able to activate/deactivate the twinning function depending on administrative settings. Such
user activation can be achieved through deskphone buttons, Phone Manager or VoiceMail Pro.

The IP Office Phone Manager application provides users control of their telephone from a networked PC.
Phone Manager can be used with any IP Office extension; analog, digital or any IP telephones, wired or
wireless, and is available in three versions: Phone Manager Lite, Phone Manager Pro and

Phone Manager PC Softphone subject to licensing.

Phone Manager Lite

Phone Manager Lite is included as part of the IP Office solution free of charge for every user and provides
easy access to telephony features, call information and call control. Phone Manager will normally run in
the Windows system tray once the user is logged on, minimizing screen space when not in use.
Phone Manager has telephony buttons on a tool bar that activate standard telephone functions such as
Answer, Transfer, Hold, Account codes and Conference etc. so that users don’t need to remember IP
Office specific feature codes. Personal settings such as Do Not Disturb (including exceptions list), call
forwarding, mobile twinning and voicemail transfer option settings can be easily set up using Phone
Manager.

All versions of Phone Manager feature a Busy Lamp Field (BLF) and Speed Dials. This allows users to
customize the application to reflect the status of their department, immediate colleagues or the whole
company as desired. The Direct Station Select allows you to dial regularly used internal and external
numbers via a single-click. A single Direct Station Select icon allows you to dial their work, mobile/cell
phone and home numbers. The Busy Lamp Field feature allows you to see at a glance, who is available to
take a call, who is already on a call and who has placed their phone on Do Not Disturb. BLF information is
also available on remote users as long as they are on a Small Community Network (SCN). Phone Manager
Lite supports up to 15 Speed-Dial/BLF entries.

Phone Manager Pro
Phone Manager Pro is licensed on a per-user basis and provides all of the Phone Manager Lite features
plus the following:
• Personal Productivity and Collaboration
Phone Manager Pro offers increased capacity from 15 to 1000 Speed Dial/BLF entries. These are
distributed across 10 tabs to allow users to group speed-dial/Busy Lamp Field icons by department or
location, for example Sales, Support, etc. Each speed-dial tab supports up to 100 speed dial/BLF entries.
• Telecommuter Mode
Phone Manager Pro allows making and receiving calls and retrieving voicemails on an external phone
number as if they were in the office, with Phone Manager providing the call control. It also provides billing
convenience and potential cost savings for remote workers and mobile work force. Access to the feature is
controlled by the administrator in the User Rights.

Phone Manager PC Softphone (IP Softphone)

Phone Manager PC Softphone is licensed on a per-user basis and provides all of the Phone Manager Pro
functionality. In PC Softphone mode, both audio and call control operations are handled on the PC so no
additional telephone is needed. When using PC Softphone, the user will need an audio device such as a
headset or USB handset, both USB and soundcard interfaces can be used with PC Softphone. PC
Softphone can be twinned with another IP Office extension offering mobility and choice so that calls can
be answered on either endpoint.
Phone Manager PC Softphone has the significant advantage for mobile users with wireless or wired remote
access to the LAN, providing 'a phone within their laptop' with all the features available in the office. From
IP Office 4.2 onwards, users can also login as a call center agent using Softphone. PC Softphone is
supported on Windows Vista Business/Ultimate.

• Licensing:
• Phone Manager Pro:
Requires a Phone Manager Pro license for each user.
• Phone Manager PC Softphone: Requires an IP Office PC SoftPhone license in addition to the Phone
Manager Pro user license. There must be equal or greater Phone Manager Pro licenses than PC SoftPhone
licenses. The use of a headset is strongly recommended. Operation through standard speakers and
integral PC microphones is possible but not recommended.
• Phone Manager Pro screen popping provides integration with Microsoft Outlook 2000/2003/XP,
Act! 6.0 and 2005, Maximizer 7.5 and 8.0 Enterprise, Goldmine 6.0 and 6.7.
• Phone Manager PC Softphone supports QoS in the form of DiffServ for both Windows XP/2000.
• Phone Manager PC Softphone can be used over a wireless LAN; in this configuration no more than 3
simultaneous calls can be supported per access point.
• Up to 360 Phone Manager users can be supported on the same LAN subnet as IP Office. Where remote
subnet Phone Manager users are deployed, up to 10 remote users will receive BLF updates.
• Up to 5 Phone Manager users can be supported on a single Citrix thin client server
• Instant Messaging options require the network to have a Microsoft Live Communication Server
(LCS) with both a server license and client licenses for each user. Phone Manager has been verified as
compatible with Microsoft LCS 2003 and 2005. No additional license is required in IP Office.

SoftConsole
SoftConsole is the PC based Windows Operator Console for IP Office. SoftConsole has been designed to
improve operator service by providing the operator with call information and available call actions to
simplify call handling and give the appropriate response to the caller. With this easy to use software tool
the operator can maintain visibility of the number and type of calls waiting and so ensure that clients are
greeted in a professional manner. SoftConsole has a similar look and feel to the Phone Manger application
and can be minimized in the Windows system tray when not in use, but will pop up on the screen when a
call is received.
