Restricted Operation

Considerations

If you reboot the NBX system without installing the required license, the
NBX system remains operational with these restrictions:
NBX NetSet is not available.
Each NBX telephone display panel periodically displays a NO LICENSE
message.
Auto discovery is turned off for all device types.
Voice mail messages are not allowed.
The Automated Attendant software is not operational.
The ability to configure user groups and Automated Attendants from
a telephone is not operational.
If you connect a PC to the NBX system COM1 port using a terminal
emulation software application such as Hyperterm, the NBX system
sends a message to the Hyperterm application indicating that a
required software license has not been installed.
If you log on using the administrator ID and password, a screen appears
giving you two options:
You can click the Reboot button to go to a reboot screen and reboot
to a previous NBX software release.
You can click the License button to go to a license screen and enter a
license key for R4.2.
The installation of a valid upgrade license removes all restrictions without
the need for an NBX system reboot operation.
Some situations require specific actions because of the system software
licensing mechanism.
Chassis or Disk Tray Replacement
If you have an NBX 100 system and you need to replace the main system
chassis for any reason, you must provide a valid license backup file to
your 3Com NBX Voice-Authorized Partner. This file enables them to
provide you with license keys equivalent to those that were associated
with the replaced chassis.
If you have a SuperStack 3 NBX system and you need to replace the
system disk tray for any reason, you must provide a valid license backup
file to your 3Com NBX Voice-Authorized Partner. This file enables them to
