Total Device Limits on
the NBX System
Three kinds of limits govern the number of devices that you can include
when you configure a SuperStack 3 NBX system or an NBX 100 system:
Total device limits per system
■
Individual device limits on certain devices
■
Licensed device limits on certain devices
■
Each NBX system is shipped with a total-device-limit license that controls
the total number of devices that you can configure on the system:
Total on the SuperStack 3 NBX — 250 devices (factory default)
■
To add more devices to a 250-device SuperStack 3 NBX system, you
can purchase additional licenses in 125-device or 250-device
increments, up to a maximum of 1500 devices. (For the current device
and license configuration on your system, see NBX NetSet >
Operations > Licenses as well as the Usage Report accessible from
the Licenses screen.)
Total on the NBX 100 — 200 devices (factory default and maximum
■
device limit)
For support above 200 devices, you must purchase a SuperStack 3
NBX Call Processor.
CAUTION: Your configuration must conform to all of these limits:
The limit imposed by the total system license (explained next)
■
The individual limits on certain device types (explained later in this
■
topic)
The license requirements for some hardware and software
■
What Counts Toward the Total Device Limit?
The NBX systems count many physical devices and certain software
applications as devices toward the total device limit:
Physical Devices — Each 3Com Telephone, each Analog Terminal
■
Adapter, each channel on a Digital Line Card, and each port on an
Analog Line Card counts as one device. Additional physical device
limits are listed in
Software "Devices" (Applications) — The NBX Media Driver
■
application counts as one device, and each installation (client) of the
pcXset Soft Telephone application counts as one device.
