• Wide Area Network (WAN) Fail Survivability.
• Propagation of Caller ID [CLID] information to the Public Switched Telephone Net-
work (PSTN) across Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) circuits.

For system and voice mail administrators and for end users, the Inter-Tel 5000 platform pro-
vides the following endpoints and applications:
• Supports IP, SIP, Multi-Protocol, Wireless IP, Multimedia Touch Screen, Inter-Tel digi-
tal, and analog single line endpoints.

• Automatic and Uniform Call Distribution.
Processing Server (PS-1)
The Processing Server (PS-1) is a Linux
®
server that hosts the call processing function of the
Inter-Tel CS-5600 system. The PS-1 increases processing capability to support additional sys-
tem capacity and application loading. The PS-1 does not supply additional IP resources.
Rather, it connects to a single Base Server for endpoint, trunk, IP, and system-DSP resource
support. Via a LAN connection, the PS-1 connects to the Inter-Tel 5000 Base Server config-
ured as a CS-5400.
