Setting Initial System Configuration
Upon initial power up, the system uses DHCP to establish a network connection. If the site is
not running a DHCP server, you must provide site-specific IP addresses and other network
information before you can begin programming the system in DB Programming. You can also
program the database offline using the Local Mode option in Session Manager.

NOTICE
To avoid system malfunctions observe the following rules when installing an Mitel 5000
platform:
• DHCP is enabled by default to allow the system to become operational upon boot up.
After the system has booted up, replace the DHCP address(es) with static IP addresses.
If using a DHCP server, the IP address may change, dropping any CT Gateway and/or
Voice Processing connections.
• IP Addresses, subnet mask, and gateways, the CT Gateway must be on the same LAN
as the IP address and subnet mask or the system will not operate.
• Mitel CS-5400 systems have two IP addresses—one for the Processor Module (PM-1)
and one for the Processor Expansion Card (PEC-1). Both IP addresses MUST be on the
same subnet mask. This also applies to Mitel CS-5200 systems that have been
upgraded with the PEC-1.
