• Mini-DSS: The Inter-Tel 5000 platform supports a Mini-DSS Unit that provides one-
button access to 16 extension numbers and/or feature buttons/resources.
• Direct Station Select (DSS)/Busy Lamp Field (BLF): The Inter-Tel 5000 platform
supports two 60-button DSS/BLF Units and one 50-button model. Installation requires
DEI and DEM-16 equipment and data port modules. See “Digital Capability” on
page 15.
• Wireless Endpoints: Models 8664, 8665, and 8668 are wireless, compact IP phones
that operate in the ITP mode.
• Single Line Endpoints: In addition to the two circuits manufactured into the Inter-Tel
5000 Base Server, single line endpoints can be installed with IP-SLA devices, Single-
Line Adapters, and four-port and eight-port Single Line Modules (SLM-4s and -8s).
System Licensing Requirements
Software licensing controls device capacity and feature availability on the Inter-Tel 5000 plat-
form. Licensing is associated with a system by means of a security key that inserts into a USB
slot located on the front of the unit chassis.
Inter-Tel 5000 systems are delivered without software licensing. Licenses are generated and
downloaded from the Inter-Tel License Management Center (LMC) Web site and then loaded
onto the platform before installing the system. By default, unlicensed Inter-Tel 5000 platforms
can be programmed with the capabilities of fully provisioned systems. However, if the applica-
ble licenses are not provided and authenticated within four hours, the system invokes a reset.
If the system does not have a software license, Alarm 125 appears on the LCD panel on the
Inter-Tel 5000 Base Server and on the administrator endpoint display. This alarm is generated
every five minutes, and the system resets every four hours until the license issue is resolved.
USB Security Key
The USB security key uniquely identifies a system by storing an Inter-Tel Master License.
Only the specific software license that has been digitally signed with the Master License data
is allowed to control the system. The key stores the essential components of the software
licensing plan.
The security key also ensures licensing integrity. When a system detects removal of its key, the
system disables audio for subsequent calls. When the audio is disabled, the system posts appli-
cable alarms to the LCD panel on the front of the Base Server and to the LCD on the adminis-
trator endpoint. Alarm 122 indicates that the key is missing, while Alarm 125 identifies the
number of minutes before the system initiates a reset.
When the key is replaced and the correct serial number is detected by the system, the audio is
enabled and the reset countdown is aborted.
If the system powers up without the USB security key in place, the technician must reload the
software license through DB Programming.
NOTE
Inter-Tel recommends provisioning each system with a display endpoint to
allow an administrator to program selected system data, act as the Attendant
for unsupervised CO recalls, receive system alarm messages, etc.
