IP500 V2A System SD Cards

This type of card is used with IP500 V2A control units and is a mandatory item. The card is used for system licensing and also for Embedded Voicemail if required. It also holds the firmware files loaded by the system and telephones when the system is installed.

The control unit must be fitted with one of these feature keys even if no licenses are being used.

•The card's ID number is printed on the card's label after PLDS ID, FK SN or FK depending on the age of the card. On newer cards is a 12-digit number. Older cards may have a 10-digit number. For PLDS licensing, use the 12-digit number. On older cards, for licensing, prefix the 10-digit number with 11.

•By default the card can be used for 2 ports of Embedded Voicemail. Additional ports up to a maximum of 6 can be enabled by the addition of licenses. The voicemail mailbox message and prompt capacity supports 2 simultaneous connections and 15 hours of storage. This can be expanded up to 6 channels by the addition of licenses, each of which enables an additional two channels and an additional 5 hours of storage.

• WARNING
These cards should only be formatted using IP Office Manager or System Status Application. The cards should only be removed from a system after either a card shut down or a system shut down.

PCM Encoding

•A-Law or Mu-Law
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is a method for encoding voice as data. In telephony, two methods PCM encoding are widely used, A-law and Mu-law (also called U-law). Typically Mu-law is used in North America and a few other locations while A-law by the rest of the world. As well as setting the correct PCM encoding for the region, the A-Law or Mu-Law setting of an IP Office system when it is first started affects a wide range of regional defaults relating to line settings and other values.

•For IP500 V2A systems, the encoding default is set by the type of System SD card installed when the system is first started.
