Adding External Expansion Modules (IP500)

ip500 expansion connect 3d small

External expansion modules connect to the IP Office control unit using an expansion interconnect cable.

icon objective Objective - Connect the external expansion modules and then restart the control unit so that the new modules are recognized.

Each module is supplied with an expansion connect cable and a power supply unit. An appropriate locale specific power cord for the power supply unit, and cables for the ports on the front of the module must be ordered separately.
•Each external expansion module (except the WAN3 10/100) is supplied with a blue 1 meter (3'3'') expansion interconnect cable. This cable must be used when connecting to expansion ports on the rear of a control unit.
•When connecting to expansion ports on an IP500 4-Port Expansion card, a yellow 2 meter (6'6") expansion interconnect cable can be used in place of the standard blue cable. 4 Yellow cables are supplied with the IP500 4-Port Expansion card.
•The WAN3 10/100 module differs in that it connects via a LAN port on its front to one of the control unit's LAN ports. This type of external expansion module is not supported by IP500 control units.
•Pre-IP Office 5.0 IP500 systems require an IP500 Upgrade Standard to Professional license to support external expansion modules. This license is not required for IP Office 5.0+.
