Types of IP Endpoints
The following list identifies the types of IP endpoints that operate on the Mitel 5000 platform. For
specifications and illustrations of the endpoints, see “Endpoints” on page 4-42.
• Multi-protocol (IP and SIP), including Model 8600 without display and Models 8620/ 8622,
and 8662 with display. Also includes Mitel 5212, 5224, 5330, and 5340
• Multi-protocol with touch-screen display, the Model 8690
• IP mode only, including Model 8660, wireless Models 8664, 8665, and 8668, Axxess IP
PhonePlus, and Eclipse IP PhonePlus
• SIP mode only, Model 8601 Pocket PC SoftPhone
• IP Single-Line Adapter
Endpoint License Activation Process
Only the multi-protocol IP endpoints require a license to operate on the Mitel 5000 platform.
Although you can program IP endpoints into the database without having an adequate number
of licenses, the system allows only the number of endpoints to come online for which licenses
exist. The system assigns licenses to endpoints on a first-come, first-served basis. However,
once the available licenses have been assigned, the system prevents additional IP endpoints
from coming online. As additional IP endpoint licenses are loaded into software, the system
brings programmed but unactivated endpoints online. For detailed information about setting-up
IP endpoints for service, see the Installation chapter, and refer to the Programming chapter in
the Inter-Tel 5000 Features and Programming Guide (part no. 580.8006).
When IP endpoints fail to come online, the Message Print log identifies the excluded endpoint
extensions. At the same time, Alarm #127—Unlicensed IP device failed to come online—
appears on the unit chassis LCD panel and on the administrator endpoint display(s). For details,
refer to the Message Print Diagnostic Manual, part number 550.8018.
Licenses for Mitel 5000 DEI Units
Any of the three Mitel 5000 platforms supports up to four DEI units, and each unit supports up to
48 digital endpoints.
One license is required for each DEI to come online, meaning that two different licenses are
required for operation of a fully expanded Mitel 5000 system.
Because the DEI units are identical, the distinction between them is determined by the cabling
order and selection in DB Programming. The unit that is cabled directly to the Inter-Tel 5000
Base Server is the first unit, and the unit that is cabled to the first DEI unit is the second unit,
and so on.
In some purchase configurations that enable digital capability, an Enable IP Endpoint license
may be required. For details, contact your authorized Mitel vendor. For licensing part numbers,
see Table 7-7 on page 7-5.
System Alarms for Insufficient Licensing
Attempts to activate an unlicensed DEI unit will trigger Alarm 130, and the unit will not come
online. 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. Mitel recommends purchasing the appropriate IP endpoint license for each IP endpoint
installed on the system. For details, refer to the Inter-Tel 5000 Features and Programming
Guide (part no. 580.8006).
