IP Office Types

Last Updated : Oct 08, 2024 |

IP Office is supported on a variety of platforms and running in a number of modes. This affects how web manager is accessed and the menus available within web manager.

Platform

IP Office Mode

Description

IP500 V2

Basic Edition

This mode has its own separate web manager application that is not covered by this version of web manager.

Essential Edition

These are referred to as 'Standard Mode'. Standard mode systems can be standalone or multiple systems can be linked in a Small Community Network (SCN).

The base license is an Essential Edition license. Additional features are enabled with a Preferred Edition license.

Each IP500 V2 is managed separately through its own copy of web manager.

Preferred Edition

Server Edition (Expansion Server)

In this mode, the IP500 V2 is part of the Server Edition network below and is managed through the web manager menus of the Server Edition primary server.

Server PC

Virtual Server

Server Edition

A Server Edition network can consist of multiple servers, starting with a primary server to which a secondary and expansion servers are then added.

All the servers are managed through the web manager provided by the primary server.

Application Server

This standalone server can run the IP Office one-X Portal and Voicemail Pro services. It can be used in two ways:

  • With an IP500 V2 running in Preferred Edition mode, it can provide both services.

  • With a Server Edition, it can replace the one-X Portal service normally provided on the Server Edition primary server.

UCM

Preferred Edition

This server on a card can be installed inside an IP500 V2 running in Preferred Edition mode (see above). It can then provide that system with one-X Portal and Voicemail Pro services. Web manager is used to access and manage those services and the shell mode (see below) settings of the UCM.

Shell Server Mode

Web manager is chiefly used to configure the IP Office service which provide telephony features such as users, extensions and lines.

The IP Office Application Server or UCM module do not provide telephony features. However, those servers still host a version of IP Office service that provides some options, mainly related to security and IP routing settings, necessary to connect with the full IP Office service on other servers. This minimal IP Office service is referred to as a "shell server" mode.
