IP Office 500 Platform
IP Office is a modular communications solution that scales from 2 to 384 extensions on a single platform. IP
Office supports up to 32 sites and 1000 users in a multi-site network with resilient and redundant capabilities.
It provides a hybrid PBX with both Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and IP telephone and trunk support that
can be used in either mode or both concurrently. IP Office has data capabilities built in, providing IP routing,
switching and firewall protection between LAN and WAN (LAN2). IP Office has a web based applications suite
that delivers contact center reporting, voice and email messaging, Interactive Voice Response, conferencing
and computer telephony integration.
IP Office solutions are built from hardware units and application software. Hardware provides the connectivity
for voice and data circuits and processor units for the solution software. Each IP Office solution will require a
system control unit (IP500 V2), trunk connections to service provider, and expansion modules for TDM
telephone cabling. IP Telephones connect over LAN connections to the IP Office solution.
