2 Overview
The UC 520 is an all-in-one, simple, smart, and affordable unified communications solution designed
specifically for growing businesses with 8 to 50 employees. Each configuration of the UC 52 0 is tied
to a maximum number of supported users and includes relevant licenses for call control, voice
messaging, and Cisco Unified IP Phones.
The UC 520 consists of these two platforms:
•8- and 16-user platform
•24-, 32- and 48-user platform
The 8- and 16-user platform includes 8 switched Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) ports, 4 foreign exchange
stations (FXS) ports, 4 foreign exchange office (FXO) or 2 ISDN BRI ports for international
deployments, voice messaging, automated attendant, a music-on-hold (MoH) audio port, a WAN
Ethernet uplink port, an Ethernet expansion port, and a console/aux port.
The 24- and 32-user platform includes 8 switched Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) ports, 4 foreign
exchange stations (FXS) ports, 8
foreign exchange office (FXO) or 4 ISDN BRI ports.

To physically expand the base configuration of 8 PoE ports to a larger number of user densities, the
solution supports a Cisco
Unified Commu nications companion switch. The specialized co mpanion
switch is part of the Cisco Catalyst Expres s family and supports simplified and i mmediately
operational deployments.
Figure 1 shows the typical deployment of a Cisco Unified 500 Series in a Cisco Smart Business
Communications System. The Cisco Smart Business Communications System is a unified
communications solution for small businesses that provides voice, data, video, security, and wireless
capabilities while integrating with existing desktop applications like calendar, e-mail, and Customer
Relationship Management (CRM).
