System Requirements
Hardware Requirements
AltiServ hardware requirements depend on the number of extensions
(lines) and trunks your site requires. Refer to Table 6 on page 2-11 for
AltiServ platform selection.
System Key Requirement
AltiWare OE 5.0 requires a system key in order to function. The system key
is a hardware security device that allows the software to run ONLY when
that system key is attached to the parallel or USB port of the server that OE
is running on. The system key is required for initial installation, software
upgrade process, and upon system reboot.
One pre-assigned, DB-25 parallel port system key is included with every
copy of AltiWare OE 5.0 (upgrade or original). Each system key has a
unique key designated for a particular AltiWare software package - system
keys cannot be shared among systems. System keys are also available in
USB form factor. USB system keys must be special ordered.
