Each configuration is equipped with the appropriate number of feature licenses for call processing, voicemail, and Cisco Unified IP phones, simplifying the product structure.

A modular slot is available in most of the configurations, allowing expansion of the system with additional PSTN interfaces.

The appropriate number of fixed digital signal processors (DSPs) is packaged with each configuration.
Default system configuration
Although packaged to support various deployment configurations, it comes with a Cisco Smart Assist predefined configuration from the factory, allowing for rapid deployment of the product in the field.
  • Preassigned phone extensions
  • Dial plan
  • Voice and data VLANs
  • Firewall settings
With the appropriate licensed base platform, expanding the system is easy; simply connect the companion Cisco Catalyst Express 520 Switch and connect phones to the new PoE Ethernet ports.
Integrated voicemail and Automated Attendant
Voice messaging raises the level of professionalism, productivity, and customer service available to small business customers with built-in Automated Attendant and advanced voicemail capabilities.

Professional Automated Attendant allows all calls to be handled efficiently and reliably 24 hours a day. Callers can dial by extension number of the group or person they are trying to reach or use the dial-by-name feature when they do not know a specific extension.

Voicemail extends the productivity of the organization by allowing employees to access messages at any time from any telephone. Both internal and external calls to a busy or unattended phone are forwarded to the user's voicemail box and are greeted with the user's personalized greeting.

Integrated messaging allows for users to check their voicemail using Internet Mail Access Protocol (IMAP) cable clients, including Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, or Lotus Notes. Voicemail features can also be accessed using Extensible Markup Language (XML) display on Cisco Unified IP phones.
Ethernet connectivity with quality of service (QoS)
Ethernet connectivity is provided for IP phones or wireless access points by PoE ports that provide connectivity speeds for up to 100BASE-T Ethernet technology without the need for additional power modules. Most Cisco Unified IP phones include a 10/100 switch with QoS to provide PC desktop connectivity to the network.

Optimized QoS is provided for IP phone and desktop configurations. The QoS level helps ensure that voice-over-IP (VoIP) traffic takes precedence.

Separate VLANs for Voice and data traffic

Port security is provided to limit unauthorized access to the network.
Power failover
A power failover feature is provided on the base configuration, giving access to the PSTN lines in case of a power outage. When power is lost, foreign-exchange-office (FXO) PSTN trunks are directly connected to foreign-exchange-station (FXS) analog ports, allowing for calls to be placed and received.
Recorded announcements for callers: Music on hold (MOH)
The process for providing customized MOH announcements is simplified with a dedicated MOH port, allowing small-business owners to play recorded announcements to their callers by simply plugging the audio source into the provided 3.5-mm mini-jack.

Customers can also use wave files stored on flash memory.

MOH is an audio stream that is played to PSTN and VoIP G.711 or G.729 callers who are placed on hold by the called party. This audio reassures the callers that they are still connected to the called party.

Deployment options
Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series, depending on the configuration, can be deployed as a desktop unit, wall-mounted, or installed in a standard 19-inch (48.26-cm) rack with an optional rack-mount kit.
