2Overview
This section provides overview and detailed information about the Cisco Unified Communications
500 Series for Small Business (Cisco Unified 500 Series).
The Cisco Unified 500 Series product family is an all-in-one, simple, smart, and affordable unified
communications solution designed specifically for growing businesses with 8 to 50 employees. Each
configuration of Cisco Unified 500 Series is tied to a maximum number of supported users and
includes relevant licenses for call control, voice messaging, and Cisco Unified IP Phones.
The Cisco Unified 500 Series family consists of the following two platforms:
•8- and 16-user platform
•32- and 48-user platform
The 8- and 16-user platform includes 8 switched Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) ports, 4 foreign exchange
stations (FXS) ports, 4 foreign exchange office (FXO) or 2 ISDN BRI ports for international
deployments, voice messaging, automated attendant, a music-on-hold (MoH) audio port, a WAN
Ethernet uplink port, an Ethernet expansion port, and a console/aux port.

The 32-user platform includes 8 switched Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) ports, 4 foreign exchange
stations (FXS) ports, 8 foreign exchange office (FXO) or 4 ISDN BRI ports.
The 48-user platform includes 8 switched Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) ports, 4 foreign exchange
stations (FXS) ports, 12 foreign exchange office (FXO) or 6 ISDN BRI ports. Alternatively, the 48-user
platform could include 8 switched Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) ports, 4 foreign exchange stations (FXS)
ports, 4 foreign exchange office (FXO) or 2 ISDN BRI ports and one T1/E1 voice controller.
To physically expand the base configuration of 8 PoE ports to a larger number of user densities, the
solution supports a Cisco Unified Communications companion switch. The specialized companion
switch is part of the Cisco Catalyst Express family and supports simplified and immediately
operational deployments.
Figure 1 shows the typical deployment of a Cisco Unified 500 Series in a Cisco Smart Business
Communications System. The Cisco Smart Business Communications System is a unified
communications solution for small businesses that provides voice, data, video, security, and wireless
capabilities while integrating with existing desktop applications like calendar, e-mail, and Customer
Relationship Management (CRM).
