Procedure
This procedure provides information on how to attach an external voice processing system to
the Mitel CS-5200/5400/5600 when using the DEI. For information about installing and setting
up the available external voice processing systems, refer to the documentation provided with
those units (see above in Overview).
For sample diagrams of the assembled voice processing computer, refer to the Installation
chapter. An 8.5 ft (2.5 m) cable is available, part no. 813.1806. Or, if necessary, contact the

Disable Basic Voice Mail.
2. If this is a new installation, proceed to step 3.
If this is an existing installation,
• Back up Basic Voice Mail. See “Saving the System and Voice Processor
Databases” on page 5-91.
• Disable Basic Voice Mail. See “Enable Basic Voice Mail or Disable Basic Voice

3. Install the external voice processing PC in the rack under the DEI chassis. If the voice
processing PC cannot be placed in the rack, place it in proximity to the rack (distance is
limited by the connection cable provided). If necessary, follow the instructions included
with the voice processing PC you purchased.
4. Attach the Ethernet cables from both chassis to the LAN. Use a switch if necessary. Do
not use a hub. For more information, refer to the Installation chapter.
