Compatibility & Buying Information
Exact SKU: This page is for Mitel part number 50008229, the EX Controller configuration with 4 GB of RAM, 60 GB of solid-state storage, and a single power supply.
4/60G Configuration: The 4/60G designation identifies the controller's 4 GB RAM and 60 GB SSD configuration. This version uses the Intel Celeron N2930 processor.
Single Power Supply: Unlike the 50008230 8/120G Dual PSU and 50008375 16/120G Dual PS configurations, part 50008229 uses a single power supply and does not provide dual-PSU hardware redundancy.
MiVoice Business Platform: The EX Controller is designed to host MiVoice Business call-processing software within a virtualized architecture. Software installation, licensing, user entitlements, and feature configuration are separate from the base hardware specification.
Up to 1,400 IP Users: Mitel specifies EX Controller platform support for up to 1,400 IP users. Actual deployment capacity depends on MiVoice Business licensing, installed telephony hardware, enabled applications, call traffic, and the engineered system configuration.
Eight Telephony Slots: The chassis provides eight positions for supported PRI, DSP, FXS, and FXO cards. Optional telephony cards are not included with the base controller unless specifically stated as part of an order configuration.
Analog Expansion: Supported FXS and FXO cards each provide four analog circuits. Mitel specifies a maximum EX Controller analog capacity of up to 28 combined FXS / FXO ports.
DSP Requirement: When FXS or FXO analog cards are installed, Mitel requires one 50008234 DSP card per EX Controller chassis. The DSP card occupies one of the eight available telephony-card positions.
PRI Expansion: Mitel 50008233 single-port PRI cards provide T1/E1 connectivity. The platform supports up to eight T1/E1 interfaces when the available slots are configured accordingly.
Five Gigabit Ethernet Ports: ETH1 through ETH5 support 10/100/1000 Base-T networking. ETH1 is used by default as the uplink / WAN connection, while ETH2 through ETH5 are used by default for LAN connectivity.
Rack or Desktop Installation: The controller is a 19-inch 1U chassis and includes rack-mount brackets. It can also be installed on a suitable flat surface using the supplied protective bumper hardware.
Power Cord Included: Mitel's current EX Controller package checklist specifies one country-appropriate power cord for a single-power-supply controller. Dual-power-supply models receive two.
Different from the 16/120G Dual PS: The newer 50008375 model increases memory to 16 GB, storage to 120 GB, uses an AMD Ryzen Embedded V1605B processor, and includes dual power supplies. Customers should select the controller configuration appropriate for the required MiVoice Business deployment.
Best Fit: Mitel 50008229 is well suited to MiVoice Business deployments that need a compact rack-mount controller with modular PRI and analog connectivity but do not require the increased memory, storage, processor platform, or redundant power configuration of the larger EX Controller models.
