Are there any caveats to using older cards in 500v2 or 8.1/9.0? For example, using the VCM32 original instead of the v2, or the IP400 PRI card instead of the IP500 PRI card. Obviously this is to get around the licensing costs. But are there any feature set limitations in using these older cards? Any deployment glitches?

Older Cards in 500v2

the old VCM 32 creates IP endpoint licenses other than that the same
old PRI card (they say) can't do mobile call control but I have seen it work in 2 systems already.

We have a few IP 500v2 systems, with IP 400 VCM32. When calls connect across the SCN there is quite a loud bit of static, when the call hits the trunk. Inbound callers report that crossing the SCN to get to the VM server, they often think they have been disconnected. I am in the process of purchasing VCMs and IP Office Endpoints, which I hope resolves the issue.
If you don't need the mobile call control etc. PRIs work just fine on the legacy carrier card. Saves a bundle.
