NOTICE
The system constantly verifies that the USB security key is in place. Do not remove
the security key while the system is running. An alarm (122) is issued if the system
detects a missing security key (the key is recessed into the chassis to decrease the
possibility of its being dislodged and losing the connection). If the system detects a
missing security key, it will invalidate the license in 30 minutes and reset the system in
4 hours. If the system is booted without the key in place, you will need to reload the
license file in DB Programming, if it was previously loaded.
Also, If for any reason you need to replace the USB security key, make sure you
upload the latest license file before replacing the key. Attempting to upload a license
file after changing the USB security key results in an error and the system will not
function.

WARNING
If an Emergency Call phone number is dialed from an IP or SIP endpoint located at a
remote site that is not equipped with a correctly configured gateway, the call will be
placed from the location where the system chassis is installed rather than from the
location where the emergency call is made.
In this situation, emergency responders may be dispatched to the wrong location. To
minimize the risk of remote site users misdirecting emergency responders, Inter-Tel
recommends regular testing of SIP/MGCP gateway trunk(s) for dial tone.
If uninterruptible power supply (UPS) protection has not been installed as part of the
Inter-Tel 5000 system, IP and SIP endpoints will not operate when electrical power fails
either at remote sites or at the main system location.
To place calls during a power failure in this situation, IP and SIP endpoint users can use
only a single line endpoint connected to one of the circuits built into the system chassis.
If an endpoint connected to one of the built-in ports is not available, users should make
emergency calls from a local endpoint not connected to the system. For details about
the WAN Failover Survivability feature, see
Develop floor plans to aid in proper IP endpoint cabling in a star (home run) configuration
from the Inter-Tel 5000 Base Server. If necessary, run the necessary network cabling to
where the IP endpoint will be used, or check that a LAN port exits at this location. For
cabling requirements, see "Cabling to Endpoints" on
If a LAN port is not available to the location you want to place an IP endpoint, make the
required cable runs and install the desired number of LAN ports to this location.
