3. Install the external voice processing PC in the rack under the Inter-Tel CS-5200/5400/
5600 Base Server. If the voice processing PC cannot be placed in the rack, place it in
the appropriate proximity to the rack. The distance is limited by the connection cable
provided. As necessary, follow the instructions included with the voice processing PC
you purchased.
4. Attach the Ethernet cables from both chassis to the LAN, as shown in Figure 5-65 on
page 5-174. Use a switch if necessary; do not use a hub.
5. Attach the cable, part no. 813.1806, from the external voice processing PC to the Inter-
Tel CS-5200/5400/5600 Base Server.
6. Program the external voice processing system to connect to the Inter-Tel CS-5200/5400/
5600 Base Server. For details, see the external voice processing system manual.
7. Use the Administrative Web Session (AWS) pages to verify that Basic Voice Mail (BVM)
is disabled. The AWS default login is it5k, and the default password is itpassw.
Review and Update for Enabling a Voice Processor
Inter-Tel 5000 platforms support any of the following voice processors: Basic Voice Mail (BVM),
Enterprise Messaging (EM), or a Voice Processing Unit (VPU). And, for proper configuration,
DB Programming requires that the voice processor type is identified. Once the VP is physically
connected, the system senses which type it is.
As with previous versions, a voice processor connected to an Inter-Tel 5000 platform auto-
enables when the system boots up. To avoid the risk of overwriting an established database
with default values, Inter-Tel recommends connecting the voice processor first, then connecting
with a remote mode session of DB Programming, and then saving.
To save a voice processor database in remote mode:
1. Connect the PS-1, EM, or VPU equipment to the system in accordance with Inter-Tel
installation instructions. Refer to the applicable installation manual.
2. In remote mode, launch Session Manager and start a DB Programming session.
3. From the DB Studio menu, select Operations – Database Operations – Database Save.
Identify the location where you want to store the system database, then select Save
Voice Data to: box and identify the location where you want to save the voice processor
database.
4. Click Start. System and voice processor databases are saved to the locations indicated.
NOTICE
External Voice Mail Inoperability. If you have an existing external voice processing
system (VPU or EM), you cannot use the existing cable to connect the external voice
processing system to the Inter-Tel 5000 platform. You must use cable part no.
