Hello.

Are these models just different sizes of the same system or do they have major differences?

Offiserv 7100
Offiserv 7200
Offiserv 7400

I guess the entire 7000 series are more VOIP oriented than the OS100 and OS500 althrough technically they can all do the VOIP correct?

Thanks.

All of Samsungs officeserve products are Voip enabled systems. There are some differences in the 7000 series systems. If you're interested in any of them best place to start is the generall descriptions of each product. You can find them on the web quite easily though if you can't find any of them I can send them to you. Let me know.

Hi.

I guess I was trying to figure out if they all use interchangeable cards(SLI cards, DLI cards/modules, etc) or if it was like the OS100 and the OS500 which are completely different format.

I guess there are a lot of little things which I would be better off reading the general description.

I think I can do a normal internet search and find them but thanks for offering to send them to me. I appreciate it.

Thanks.

Yes, cards are interchangable in most circumstances with few exceptions. Samsung announced at the product break out that they were going to make the UNI card for the 7100 compatible with the 7200 and 7400 with coming software updates, however we have not heard any progress on that as of yet.

The best thing about the 7000 series is that you don't have to nail the f****r to the wall!!

And....

Somehow that makes it worth while?

Not trying to be a smart xxx but were is most telecom wiring? I cant tell you how much trouble it is to convert the modular over to blocks. The need for a hydra is a problem. The extra connection points are issues as well. Yes I like the rack ability of the systems when the cable plant is on patch panels, but I dont see it often enough here to be acceptable.

Carding the systems is very easy. The 7200 by far will be the best seller of the bunch.

Just my two bits

I prefer the 100/500 by far for using digital sets. All those mod plugs are a pain.

Express Communications Supply makes nice and easy 25 8-pin plugs to a 25-pair, works great for digital installs out to 66 blocks.

A lot of things is just perception. Most customers want to see a rack mount system.

I was a little disappointed with the cables that Express sent me last week. Cross connect wire out to the plug. Makes for a not so attractive connector. If you order them, specify you want the shrink wrap right up to the plug. Then the connectors look almost like data cables - very clean. You can order them 30' long also, so no problem routing to a distant wall.

Sarcasm. Obviously doesn't travel over the atlantic eh wrichey

(If in any doubt, yes, again I am being sarcastic.)

Another clue that the i100 and 500 are going away is that the OIT programming interface v4.14k now works on the 7000 series but will never work with the earlier 100s or 500s.
