Introduction

This Administrator's Guide provides all the information an administrator should need about
the AXXESS system hardware and features, and it gives detailed instructions on their use.
Refer to the user guide provided with each phone for simplified instructions on using telephone
and voice mail system features.

THE AXXESS TELEPHONE SYSTEM

The Inter-Tel AXXESS System is a state-of-the-art, digital, voice/data, hybrid telephone sys-
tem. As a hybrid system, it incorporates many of the user-friendly features of key systems with
many of the expanded features and flexibility of private branch exchange (PBX) systems.
The AXXESS System is designed to meet the needs of growing businesses. In fact, the sys-
tem's unique digital signal processing (DSP) structure allows it to be easily adapted and
expanded as business communication needs change, especially with the Caller ID, Automatic
Number Identification (ANI), Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS), and Integrated
Services Digital Network (ISDN) features. The modular design makes the system easy to
install and service. And, the programmable features provide an abundance of user-friendly
applications to meet each customer's needs. Highlights of the system's design include:

AXXESS NETWORKS

With AXXESS software version 5.0 (and higher), you can connect two or more AXXESS sys-
tems to form a network that provides a seamless interface between the systems. To the user, the
network appears as though it is one integrated system. With few exceptions, the user can per-
form all of the functions across the network that he can within a single AXXESS system.
In this manual, all references to a "network" mean two or more connected AXXESS systems.
Each AXXESS system in a network is called a "node."
The maximum capacities of the AXXESS network are listed in the following table.
* The maximum number of stations and trunks that can be installed is limited by the number of
voice channels and/or system memory resources available.
