IP Office Installation
IP Office
The IP500 uses a smart card feature key dongle. In addition to feature licensing the IP500
control unit uses this feature key dongle to determine various systems defaults such as A-Law or
Mu-Law operation, default short codes and trunk settings.
Warnings
1. The feature key is required for all IP500 control units and must be present when the system is
started and during operation. This applies even if the IP500 is not using any licensed features.
2. The feature key slot cover must remain present to protect the card and the card reader from
damage.
3. Correct anti-static protection steps should be taken before handling circuit boards.
4. During this process power to the IP Office control unit must be switched off and disconnected.
