Overview of expansion boards of the communication platform Aastra A400 (A470)
In this article we will talk about a new (relatively) communication platform from the company Aastra - Aastra 400. In particular, we consider what modules (boards) expansion has this solution for the older model in the line - A470.
Aastra 400 consists of three communication servers for servicing companies of different sizes.
Aastra 415 and Aastra 430 systems can be used in smaller companies and can handle up to 12 and / or 50 employees.
')
The standard Aastra 430 provides more connections and a total of four instead of two expansion slots.
Both systems have a modular and basically the same design:
The standard version of Aastra 470 is designed for 36 users. The capacity of the communication server can be expanded to service up to 256 subscribers.
In addition, the Aastra 470 platform can be equipped with an embedded application server (CPU2). This server provides the ability to effectively integrate innovative communication services into the A400 system.
