10.18 Hardware PCS Levels
Each item of IP Office hardware has a Product Change Status (PCS) level. This is usually included on the label on the
hardware.
The PCS level is increased each time a change is made to a component of that piece of hardware. For example the PCS
level will be increased when a component is replaced by one from a different supplier.
Normally changes to a PCS level are not important and items of the same hardware but with different PCS levels are still
identical in operation and can be interchanged. However, there are some exceptions as listed below.
· IP500 Analog Trunk Card V1
These cards are support by IP Office Release 4.0 and higher. However, PCS10 and higher cards are only supported
