Multicultural References
This document supports the usability requirements of administrators in the United States of
America (US) and in the Inter-Tel Europe market, which includes the United Kingdom (UK).
As appropriate throughout the document, simultaneous references occur where multicultural
specifications, standards, or terminology apply. For example, the US telecom industry refers to
central office (CO) trunks, but in the UK, these connections are called local exchange trunks.
Using this example, this document would refer to CO trunks (local exchange trunks in
Europe).
Communication Solution
The Inter-Tel
®
CS-5200/CS-5400 Communication Server is a converged communications plat-
form that provides an Internet Protocol (IP) solution for small- and medium-sized business
environments.
The Inter-Tel CS-5200 and the Inter-Tel CS-5400 systems are sold separately as kits that
include five IP endpoint licenses each. Additional IP endpoint licenses are required before
more than 5 IP endpoints will operate on a system.
Included in the platform chassis, and availble to both systems, are 2 built-in single line end-
point circuits, 2 built-in loop start trunk circuits, and circuitry to support up to 90 trunks across
T1/E1/PRI spans.
For smaller user environments, the Inter-Tel CS-5200 default configuration includes 3 IP net-
working resources in addition to the platform chassis circuitry. If the 3 IP networking resources
are used, sufficient IP resources are available for installation of 25 IP endpoints. However, with
required interface hardware and licensing, the Inter-Tel CS-5200 supports a mix of up to 28 IP
endpoints, IP private networking trunks, and/or IP gateway trunks.
Adding a Processor Expansion Card (PEC-1) and applicable licensing to the base platform cre-
ates the Inter-Tel CS-5400. The default configuration of the larger-capacity system includes 6
IP networking resources in addition to the 5 IP endpoint licenses and platform chassis circuitry.
If the 6 IP networking resources are used, sufficient IP resources are available for installation
of 110 IP endpoints. However, with required interface hardware and licensing, the Inter-Tel
CS-5400 supports a mix of up to 116 IP endpoints, IP network trunks, and/or IP gateway
trunks.
The Inter-Tel CS-5200/5400 platform is the foundation of the Inter-Tel 5000 Network Commu-
nications Solutions family of products. Built on 32-bit architecture and packaged in a 1U chas-
sis, the Inter-Tel CS-5200/5400 provides a robust IP communication solution.
Either configuration of the system can operate as a stand-alone IP communication system, or
up to 63 systems, or nodes, can be networked together. With appropriate licensing, the Inter-Tel
CS-5200/5400 also networks with Inter-Tel Axxess
®
systems so long as the Axxess systems
run v7.0 and later to enable T1 point-to-point (P2P) networking or v8.231 and later to enable
IP networking. Also, any involved IP Resources Card (IPRC) on an Inter-Tel Axxess system in
the network must run firmware v9.0.0 or later.
System Capacities
The Inter-Tel CS-5200/5400 platform supports:
• Central Office (CO) Trunks: Up to six Loop Start trunks can be installed in incre-
ments of two.
• T1/E1/PRI Spans: Up to three T1, T1/PRI, or E1/PRI spans can be installed on the
Inter-Tel CS-5200/5400 platform. A T1 span supports up to 24 trunks; a T1/PRI span
supports up to 23 trunks; and, an E1/PRI span supports up to 30 trunks.
• IP Devices: The Inter-Tel CS-5200/5400 supports Inter-Tel IP endpoints and IP Single-
Line Adapter (IP-SLA) devices. The Internet Protocol Resource Application (IPRA)
