Which IP Office Edition?

This site covers most modes of IP Office operation.

•Disclaimer
Whilst we have attempted to separate the information in each section to cover just a particular mode of IP Office operation, that is not always possible. Many of the documents are shared by multiple modes.

IP500 V2 Modes

These modes are supported on systems built around the IP Office IP500 V2 and IP Office IP500 V2A control units (dedicated hardware platforms design and manufactured by Avaya for installation at customer sites).

•IP Office Basic Edition
The default mode for new IP500 V2/V2A control units. This mode does not support IP phones and user applications. It does support ETR phones and SIP trunks.
