Product Overview
The Cisco® Unified Communications 560 (Figure 1), a central part of the Cisco Smart Business Communications
System, is an affordable unified communications appliance that provides voice and data communications,
voicemail, automated attendant, video, security, and wireless capabilities while integrating with existing desktop
applications such as calendar, email, and customer relationship management (CRM) programs. This easy-to-
manage platform supports up to 138 phones and 125 voice mailboxes and provides flexible deployment options
based on your needs, including support for a wide array of IP phones, public switched telephone network (PSTN)
interfaces, and Internet connectivity. This reference guide describes the specifications and capabilities of the
Cisco Unified Communications 560 (UC 560).

Cisco UC 560: FXO Model
Product Part Numbers
The Cisco UC 560 is available in two base versions: an FXO (analog) model and a Basic Rate Interface (BRI)
base model. The FXO model is also available with a built-in T1/E1 interface. With ease of ordering as a focus
area, each has its own product ID. In addition, there is one software licensing product, multiples of which can be
installed to achieve the desired user count. Table 1 lists the part numbers for the Cisco UC 560.

Licensing
The Cisco UC 560 includes 24 user licenses. These licenses enable the use of Cisco IP phones and allow users
to access the IP PBX features, including voicemail. In addition, supplementary user licenses are bundled to help
with deployments that need a few extra licenses. For additional licensing needs, the L-UC-PRO-8U= may be
ordered. This increases the existing license count by eight. Table 5 lists the number of users supported based on
the hardware/license configurations. The UC 560 also has built-in licenses for unified communications features.
Table 4 lists the license count bundled with the system for each feature. Guidance for licenses associated with
unified messaging on the UC 560 is included in Table 6.
Note: Out of the 24 base licenses provided with the UC560 8 are supplemental licenses.

Note: In large deployments, It is very typical to have faxes and common area phones which do not require
voicemail or voicemail boxes hence the number of voicemail boxes do not match the exact phone count.
Basic Call Center Capabilities
The Cisco UC 560 supports basic automatic call distribution (B-ACD) that can help answer outside calls with
greetings and menus and allow callers to select the appropriate departments. B-ACD also provides managed call
queues for calls that are waiting to be answered. Table 7 lists the B-ACD capabilities of the UC 560.

4 There are 20 simultaneous sessions available between IMAP Client and IMAP server. If all 20 sessions are used up, the
remaining session requests will be rejected by the IMAP server. IMAP clients will automatically attempt to establish session with
the server once some of the server ports are freed up. This does not limit the number of IMAP clients to 20.

Voice Resource Utilization
The Cisco UC 560 includes eight digital signal processors (DSPs) that enable digitized voice processing on the
platform. The DSP resources available on the platform are used for various unified communications features,
namely support of analog and digital VICs, prescheduled or ad hoc voice conference calls, and translation of
digitized voice from a less complex codec (such as g711) to a more complex codec (such as g729) - typically used
for deployments that use IP trunking (SIP or H.323) for PSTN access or multisite interconnection.
Each DSP can support 16 g711 channels or 8 g729 channels. This enables a total of 128 g711 channels on the
Cisco UC 560. Table 8 indicates the DSP resource utilization for each feature. Tables 9 and 10 show a few
deployment scenarios based on combinations of these features.

Tables 9 and 10 list the maximum sessions for either ad hoc conferencing or meet-me conferencing. DSP
resources allocated for conferencing can be shared by both features, and a mix of these can be configured. Below
are a few examples based on Table 9. The concept of sharing conferencing resources applies to Table 10 as well.
Ad hoc 56x8
Ad hoc 28x8
Ad hoc 56x4
Meet-me 0x0
Meet-me 28x8
Meet-me 7x32
The above examples indicate Sessions x Participant.
The Transcoding column lists the maximum number of transcoding sessions that the system can be configured
for, for a given configuration of DSPs. For example, the first row in Table 9 indicates that a maximum of three
transcoding sessions are available if seven DSPs are allocated for conferencing. If more transcoding sessions are
required, DSP resources will need to be diverted from conferencing to transcoding. For example, in the second
row of Table 9, one of the DSPs is dedicated to transcoding, leaving six DSPs for conferencing. Notice the
increase in the number of transcoding sessions and the drop in the number of conferencing sessions.
5 Total DSP resources will depend upon the number of channels provisioned in the T1.
6 Conferencing always uses up an entire DSP. The rest of the features can share a DSP. The number of sessions available will
vary depending upon the codec used in a conference call.
