Octel 250I

[voiceconsultant]

Can someone tell me the maximum port capacity for the Octel 250I?

 

[KenMeans]

Not sure what one is. Is this the one that is part of a PBX ?

This is an Octel 250I voice mail system used with Ericsson PBX.

I think the maximum port capacity will be listed if you do the L F command at the @ sign. I believe the max is 64 ports.

Octel 250's have a physical max of 72 ports in a dual cabinet config with appropriate licenses

I think based upon some of the other posts in this forum that the Octel 250I is not really an Octel 250 per se. I think that the Octel 250I is an Ericsson OEM version of the Octel Serenade 200.

If it is a true Octel 250 then I agree with jml2665's post.

After 10 years with Octel (prior to our moronic merger with Lucent) I must say thats a surprise that they would change the name in such a confusing way but I guess you just never know what we did in those OEM aggreements, either way 64 is for a serenade 200 or 72 for an Aria 250, Maybe voiceconsultant can describe the box with the door open or read off the tech specs on the serial number plate to help decide

I have one in my cellar!

It is an Ericsson/Octel joint venture thing!

If you read on the front door there are the following markings:
OCTEL 250-i

840-6038-001 REV A1
740-6226-001 REV A2

Vend #.... Nowembre 14, 1996

Inside the cabinet there is this marking:
840-6037-001 REV A1
740-6217-001 REV A2

It is an OCTEK 200 made ti fit into an Ericsson Stackable cabinet.

I have pasted the @L F:
Max. no of ports = 64

The OCTEL 250i uses the same boards as OCTEL Serenade 200/300. Ours is pt. running S.1.0.1-2 but I imagine that you can run op to version S.4.1 or newer.
Anyway the installed boards are the same as the OCTEL 200/300.
The harddisks are NOT the same and the PSU is not included as the - 48 Volt power was taken directly from the MD110 itself.
The harddisk for the Visual Mailbox (ACP harddisk) is also different fro the Serenade.

In your cellar?

I have worked on several of these over the years, and they are a VMX 200 (Octel 200) within an Ericsson PBX running on 12v

Dear jon24422531

Sorry.
In the cellar of my office, it should have been written.
Or the PBX (COMMS) room.
Still this "Voice 250i" as it was named by Ericsson is running with no problems, as the other Voice 200/300 (VMX 200/300 or OCTEL200/300) that we still have in service...

The Voice 250i (/OCTEL 250i) is running on -48 Volts.
All the other Voice 200/300 run 230 Volt in our country.
