System Configurations
The Inter-Tel 5000 platform can be configured as any of three IP-centric systems capable of
private networking and IP, digital, and analog endpoint expansion. The Inter-Tel CS-5200,
CS-5400, and CS-5600 systems are sold separately as self-contained, licensed kits. Each sys-
tem kit includes five IP endpoint licenses, and additional licenses are required before more
than five IP endpoints will operate on a system.
On any of the Inter-Tel 5000 systems, 192 digital and 54 single line analog endpoints can be
installed. For details, see “Digital Capability” on page 15.
Built into the Base Server of the three systems are two single line endpoint ports and two loop
start trunk ports that provide power fail bypass capability. Depending on system configuration
and allowable tradeoffs, each system can support up 2–182 trunks. A trunk is an audio path
that connects the Inter-Tel 5000 platform with the public telephone network. To see a breakout
of system trunk capacities by trunk type, see Table 43 on page 299.
Inter-Tel CS-5200
The Inter-Tel CS-5200 is the basic system. In the default configuration, it comes with five IP
endpoint licenses and three IP networking resources.
Running v2.x and utilizing the system’s oversubscription capability, the Inter-Tel CS-5200 sup-
ports a mix of 25–75 IP endpoints, IP private networking trunks, and/or IP gateway trunks.
Required interface hardware and licensing apply.
Running v2.x software with applicable licensing, the CS-5400 supports 0, 4, or 8 BVM ports.
With BVM disabled, the CS-5200 provides 32 voice channels for EM or a Windows 2000-
based VPU.
Inter-Tel CS-5400
The Inter-Tel CS-5400 is a CS-5200 with a Processor Expansion Card (PEC-1) attached to the
Processor Module (PM-1) and additional licensing. In the default configuration, the CS-5400
comes with five IP endpoint licenses and six IP networking resources.
Running v2.x and utilizing the system’s oversubscription capability, the Inter-Tel CS-5400 sup-
ports a mix of 110–175 IP endpoints, IP private networking trunks, and/or IP gateway trunks.
Required interface hardware and licensing apply.
Running v2.x software with applicable licensing, the CS-5400 supports 0, 4, or 8 BVM ports.
With BVM disabled, the CS-5400 provides 32 voice channels for EM or a Windows 2000-
based VPU.
Inter-Tel CS-5600
Version 2.0 introduced the Inter-Tel CS-5600 system, which consists of an Inter-Tel CS-5400-
configured Base Server connected to the same LAN as a Processing Server (PS-1). Additional
network environment requirements apply. For details, see your Inter-Tel equipment service
provider.
Running v2.x and utilizing the platform’s oversubscription capability, the Inter-Tel CS-5600
supports a mix of 110–250 IP endpoints, IP private networking trunks, and/or IP gateway
trunks. Required interface hardware and licensing apply. The CS-5600 provides 16 voice chan-
nels for Basic Voice Mail and 32 voice channels for EM or a Windows 2000-based VPU.
Version 2.1 and later supports the eight-port Single Line Module (SLM-8) in addition to the
four-port SLM-4 that can be installed in the Inter-Tel 5000 Base Server. Having the same
form-factor as the Digital Endpoint Module (DEM-16), the SLM-8 fits in the Digital Expan-
sion Interface (DEI) unit.
