OPTIONAL SYSTEM EQUIPMENT

This section provides procedures for installing optional equipment on Inter-Tel 5000 platforms.

Installing a CT Gateway

System OAI Level 2 applications can be used in conjunction with the CT Gateway. The CT
Gateway provides a TCP/IP System OAI interface that supports a multi-node network. Each
node in a network functions individually, as far as the System OAI streams are concerned; you
cannot program a System OAI serial port on Node 1 that will control devices or receive events
for other nodes. If you need to control devices on multiple nodes, you must install a CT
Gateway. The CT Gateway receives the OAI streams from multiple nodes and consolidates
them into a single stream for a System OAI application. The Gateway sends and receives all of
its data using TCP/IP connections. (At this time, each application requires a separate Gateway.)
NOTE
For more information about the CT Gateway, see the CT Gateway Installation Manual, part no.

Installing an External Music Source

If wanted, external music sources may be connected to the system for Music-On-Hold (MOH).
The music jack optional external music sources (radio, tape player, etc.) is on the back of the
Inter-Tel 5000 Base Server chassis. The music source can be used for music-on-hold and
background music.
Figure 5-63.
For the music-on-hold feature, music, silence, ringback, or tick-tones can be assigned on a
station-by-station basis. For more information, refer to the Inter-Tel 5000 Features and
Programming Guide (part no: 580.8006).
NOTE
Using background music and paging on a hard IP endpoint, such as the IP PhonePlus,
consumes as much bandwidth as a call to the device. If the site has limited bandwidth, ensure
that IP endpoint users do not enable background music and that they limit using the paging
functionality.
If using a radio as a music source, place it 5–10 ft (1.5–3 m) away from the chassis to avoid RFI
generated by the chassis. If the radio is placed more than 10 ft (3 m) away from the chassis,
use twisted-pair cable. For better reception, a radio with an external antenna is recommended.

There are often broadcast restrictions associated with copyrighted music. Check
with the music's original distributor and/or the broadcast source for restrictions and
usage concerning background music and music-on-hold. Inter-Tel is not responsible
for any illegal or improper use of copyrighted music connected to the system. With
