Overview

The Galaxy DSM16 hardware allows reuse of Nortel/Avaya/Panasonic digital phones with a UCX Server, whether the DSM16p is collocated or remote from the UCX software.  The DSM16p supports Nortel/Avaya Norstar, BCM, Meridian, or CS1000, or specific Avaya or Panasonic phones as identified in the Supported Hardware and Capacity section of this guide.

DSM16 Hardware Versions

E-MetroTel portfolio has included two different DSM16 form-factors. It currently offers a DSM16p Card that plugs into either a Galaxy Expand or Galaxy Express chassis. The plug-in card form factor provides a significant footprint reduction compared to the original DSM16 Modules, which was a standalone box requiring it own ethernet connection, mounting or table space, and its own external power supply. Both versions provide support for 16 digital stations and are configured using the same Web-based Configuration Utility interface. However, the DSM16p card provides support for digital phones from multiple vendors - adding support for select Avaya and Panasonic digital phones in addition to the portfolio of Nortel/Avaya phones that the original DSM16 Module was able to support.

This guide covers topics including the configuration of the UCX DSM16p software. If you have older DSM16 Modules, some of the listed capabilities may not be supported by your hardware.
