Note: These sets require a minimum firmware version 0.55 (date 05/12/13).
Supported Capacity
The maximum capacity supported by one UCx Digital Station Module (DSM16) module or card is 16 telephone sets. Expansion beyond this capacity is achieved by deploying multiple DSM16s.
The DSM16 is non-blocking, meaning that all 16 connected sets may be used concurrently.
Multiple UCx Digital Station Modules and Network Deployments
For configurations that require more than the supported capacity, multiple DSM16 Modules or Cards may be deployed up to the maximum licensed capacity of the UCx system.
DSM16 Modules or Cards can be deployed in the Local Area Network (LAN) and/or the Wide Area Network (WAN) effectively scaling this solution to multiple locations that are using Nortel/Avaya digital telephones.
