Additional Changes
Additional changes, beyond those mentioned above, are needed to convert the database from
Inter-Tel Axxess to Mitel 5000. These are explained in this section. Some changes are always
required; other changes are required only in certain cases, depending on the original Inter-Tel
Axxess database.
Relevant changes are recorded in the log file. Whether the change is recorded in the log file is
explained for each change listed below.
• Extension Lists: The way extension lists are named changed between Inter-Tel Axxess
and the Mitel 5000. Two default extension lists are renamed as follows. These changes
are not recorded in the log file.
o Auto: All Keysets changed to All IP/Dgtl Endpts
o Auto: All Stations changed to All Endpoints
o The P0001 Def DB: All Stations extension list is removed if it is found.
• License: The software license is temporarily set to the default license. This gives you the
ability to program the database in local mode, after the conversion is complete, with
access to all areas of programming. After the database is restored into a Mitel 5000
platform, the actual purchased license will be used. This change is not recorded in the log
file.
• Digital Endpoints - Attached Device: Desktop Interface is not supported, as serial
interfaces are not supported in the Mitel 5000. If encountered, this will be automatically
cleared to None.
For each Endpoint for which Attached Device is set to None, an entry is made in the log
file including the endpoint extension, the old setting, and the new setting.
• Loop Starts - Hybrid Balance ID: The Hybrid Balance ID of a Loop Start device used to
be defaulted to zero. This is no longer the recommended default value. Therefore, for any
loop start device that has this value, the value is changed to the new recommended
default, and it is country dependent: US is 3; UK is 18.
If the Hybrid Balance ID of any Loop Start device is changed, an entry is made to the log
file showing the extension of the Loop Start device, the old value and the new value.
• IP Call Configurations - Echo Suppression Sensitivity Level: The format for storing
Echo Suppression Sensitivity Levels changed between Inter-Tel Axxess and the Mitel
5000. In Inter-Tel Axxess, this value is stored as a percentage, but in the Mitel 5000, this
value is stored as Off, Low, Medium, or High. During the conversion, this value must be
converted for each IP Call Configuration programmed in the database. The change is
made as follows:
This change is recorded in the log file for each IP Call Configuration in the database.
• Node IP Connection Groups - DTMF Encoding: For Node IP Connection Groups, the
settings of G.711 Mu-Law, G.711 A-Law and G.729 are no longer supported. These, if
found, are changed to the new default of RFC 2833.
If the DTMF Encoding setting for Node IP Connection Group is changed, an entry is made
to the log file showing the extension of the Node IP Connection Group, the old value and
the new value.
