sundance-communications.com/forum Forums TDM Business Telephone Systems Samsung Telephones & Systems Is an Samsung Prostar DCS an older small model of iDCS 500 ?

I noticed that the expansion cards used in the Samsung Prostar DCS also work on the iDCS 500.( The lower density cards such as the DLI card, not the 16DLI cards)

Anyway, I was wondering if the Prostar DCS would be a good model to get for a home/home office over the iDCS 100.

I currently own an iDCS 500( which is buried in boxes in my garage) and is too big to fit in my phone closet and an iDCS 100 which I use in my other location.

I am wondering if the iDCS Prostar DCS would make a good choice since I can use some of the parts from my garaged iDCS 500 system in a smaller package or if the IDCS 100 would be a better pick ?

Thanks.

The Prostar DCS is older.It will need the right software to run iDCS series phones on it.It's also not as feature rich as the OS100 .You need to decide what features you want/need to decide which system to run.

Do you happen to know what software is required to allow it to use the iDCS series phones? Is that same newer software also needed to work the Caller ID?

Is the caller ID mostly software or do you need some kind of upgraded cards?

Does this model have a general description guide like the iDCS 100 and iDCS 500 have which talk about the various cards, what devices it supports, what features it has, etc...

When you say the iDCS 100 is more " feature rich", what is the most noticeable feature are referring to or are they just a bunch of little things?

I don't really don't notice any difference between the iDCS 100 and iDCS 500 off the top of my head.

Thanks.
