IPO 400 phone 16 on IPO 500v2?

[phoneguy518]

a friend wants to sell me an IPO 400 (white) phone 16 module for my IPO v500. (cheap) The question is will it work on my IPO 500 v2 running 9.0.4.963 essential software? he is out of state and I can't try before i buy. Any thoughts/

It should work.

I think you should be good. We have a few IP 400 Phone (analog) expansion modules jacked into IPO 500 V2 8.1.67 at various sites.
You may have to upgrade the software version on it, via manager but I think that's automatic, after you reboot the stack. The expansion module needs to be up and running before you reboot the core.

It will work, but it will not work on 9.1, bear that in mind

Won't work on 9.1??? why not what's happening in 9.1?

 

[amriddle01]

If it's a V2 it will work

R9.1 is a interesting upgrade, a lot better as the versions R8 and R9 were.
I am bound not to reveil anything but it will leak on the internet sooner or later so keep an eye on it.

Is there a technical reason for support being dropped in v9.1 or is it just a way to sell new 500 kit?

BTW I recall from v8 the 'large' license is needed to support external modules.
