USB Security Key for the PS-1 Unit
The Inter-Tel CS-5600 system requires that a USB security key reside in the PS-1 unit. How-
ever, the Base Server does not need a USB security key. The administrator must upload the
appropriate software license to the PS-1.
System Alarms for Insufficient Licensing
Attempts to activate an unlicensed DEI unit will trigger Alarm 130 and the unit will not come
online. For details, see “Managing System and Network Alarms” on page 54. Likewise,
attempting to use IP endpoints programmed in DB Programming without having appropriate IP
endpoint licenses will trigger Alarm 127, and the endpoint will not come online. Inter-Tel rec-
ommends purchasing the appropriate IP endpoint license for each IP endpoint installed on the
system.
System Capabilities
The Inter-Tel 5000 platform supports the telecommunication equipment required to provide
seamless integration into the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and the Internet. For
additional details on system capabilities, see the Reference section, beginning on page 298.
Oversubscription
With software v2.x, oversubscription allows the Inter-Tel 5000 platform to be programmed
with more endpoints than there are IP resources available. This capability is useful for systems
that support numerous IP endpoints and IP trunks and that utilize IP networking. If all IP
resources are in use, subsequent demands for IP resources are placed in a Camp On state until
IP resources become available.
Endpoint Displays
Depending on the configuration of reserved IP resources, a few scenarios may produce an
unavailable IP resource condition. When system configuration results in an unavailable
resource, a warning appears on display endpoints, and the user hears a beep every 5 seconds.
On systems running v2.x software, the following two messages related to reserving resources
may appear on display IP endpoints:
• For calls to BVM, if both reserved BVM resources and shared resources are unavail-
able, the calling party endpoint displays the
BVM EXT IS BUSY message.
• For calls to an endpoint, if resources are not available the call is placed in a Camp On
state, and the
WAITING FOR RESOURCES message appears until resources become
available.
Network Capability
Two or more Inter-Tel advanced communication platforms, Inter-Tel 5000 and/or Axxess
®
, can
be connected with T1/E1/PRI network spans to form a network. To the user, the network
appears as one integrated system. With few exceptions, the user can perform all of the func-
tions across the network that can be performed within a single system or node.
For additional details on network capability, see the Reference section, beginning on page 302.
