Additional channels licenses
The PRI Universal (PRI-U) trunk card can be used in the B5800 Branch Gateway system. The
PRI-U ports can be configured to support E1, E1R2, or T1 line types. Each port supports 8 B
channels which do not require a license. Additional B channels beyond these 8 require a
license. There are two additional channels licenses that define the number of additional
channels (above the default 8):
• Additional T1 Channels license — This license is for additional T1 trunks.
• Additional E1 Channels license — This license is for additional E1 or E1R2 trunks.
For trunk types on which channels can be set as in service, the licenses are consumed by
those channels which are configured as being in service. Manager will block attempts to
configure PRI channels as in service if they exceed the 8 per port allowed by default on that
card and if there are no Additional T1 Channels or Additional E1 Channels licenses
available.
120-day trial license
This license provides a 120-day trial period during which you have access to the features,
functions, and capabilities available in B5800 Branch Gateway. After the expiration of the 120-
day trial license, the 30-day grace period is activated. At the end of the 30-day grace period,
if no other license is installed or available, system administration is blocked.
License modes
The B5800 Branch Gateway system can be in one of three license modes — License Normal
Mode, License Error Mode, and License Restricted Mode. The license mode, as well as any
license errors, are displayed in Manager. When the B5800 Branch Gateway system is in
License Error Mode, a 30-day grace period is provided during which time the system is fully
functional. If the B5800 Branch Gateway system is in License Error Mode, all license errors
must be fixed, either by installing a valid license file with the appropriate licenses or by changing
the configuration so that it does not exceed any licensed capacities. If the B5800 Branch
Gateway system is in License Error Mode and not all license errors are fixed within the 30-day
grace period, the system will go into License Restricted Mode in which system administration
is blocked except for fixing the license errors.
System components
The B5800 Branch Gateway system is comprised of the following hardware components.
• Control unit — The control unit stores the system configuration and performs the routing
and switching for telephone calls and data traffic. It includes 4 slots for optional base cards
to support trunk and phone extension ports. The slots are numbered 1 to 4 from left to
