Installing the USB-B Port Serial Driver
The USB-B port on the front of the Inter-Tel 5000 Base Server chassis allows you to connect a
laptop and view online messages. However, a driver must be installed on the laptop to allow the
laptop to use this USB-B port. For information on viewing online messages, see “Using Terminal
Emulation to Retrieve Online Messages” on page 5-105.
To install the USB-B serial driver:
1. Do not connect any cable into the USB-B port until instructed.
2. Locate the Driver folder on the PC
where you installed DB
Programming. The folder is located
at
C:\InterTel\CS5000\Drivers.
This folder contains the zip file that
contains the driver installation files
and driver components.
3. Double-click the
CP2101_Drivers.exe file to install
the driver files. Follow the Wizard
screens.
4. Connect a USB 2.0 cable from a laptop to the USB-B port. The Found New Hardware
Wizard appears.
5. Point the New Hardware Wizard
to the file type it requests, to
complete the driver installation.
The files the Hardware Wizard
needs are located at
C:\SiLabs\MCU
\CP210x\Windows_2K_XP_S
2K3_Vista. If you selected a
different directory when
unzipping the
CP2101_Drivers.exe file, then
navigate to that location.
Retrieving SMDR or Error Message Output Data
SMDR/Error message output is provided over an IP connection. You can retrieve it through an
external voice processing system using a specific IP address and port number. This feature is
not available in Enterprise
®
Messaging or through Basic Voice Mail. SMDR can be buffered to
System Manager, if enabled or connected.
For information on retrieving SMDR/Error Message information, refer to the Diagnostics and
Troubleshooting chapter in the Mitel 5000 Features and Programming Guide, part number
580.8006, or refer to the Programming chapter in the Mitel 5000 Features and Programming
Guide, part number 580.8006, for details.
NOTE When using the USB-B port, use a cable designed for the USB 2.0 specification.
NOTE The Hardware Wizard installs the selected drivers two times.
