License activation
To have licenses activated by ESI Technical Support:
1.
Licenses must already have been ordered from ESI.
2.
The IP Server 900 must have
either
:
• A public IP address assigned to the NSP
3
(
with associated port forwarding in NAT environments
) ;
or
• A CO line connected to it (
analog, PRI, or T1
) .
3.
You’ll need the following information to provide to the ESI representative:
• The ESI sales order number.
• The customer (site) name.
• The public IP address of the NSP or the phone number of the CO line.
IP phone licenses
Each IP Phone
4
connected to the system will require an available UIP port as well as activation of a UIP license
and any other required license. If a new extension number is assigned to the phone and there are not enough
licenses available, the phone will display the error
LICENSE EXCEEDED
when connected to the IP Server 900.
It is important to keep this licensing in mind for SIP phones or CO lines, because each SIP phone or CO line will
require not only an available UIP port, but an UIP license and a SIP phone or SIP CO license.

ESI desktop IP phones programmed for remote operation can still operate as local phones on the LAN.

VIP 7 ACD Agent
uses the same license part numbers as
VIP 7
, allowing mixing and matching as the customer may require;
e.g.
, 100 licenses could
be used for 60 VIP 7 installations and 40 VIP 7 ACD Agent installations. For licensing information for VIP 7 PC Attendant Console and VIP 7 ACD
Supervisor refer to their respective Product Overviews (available from www.esi-estech.com ). VIP 7 Softphone is sold as a single license, which
provides one user with VIP 7 features and Softphone -specific capabilities. The VIP 7 Softphone license is selected, at the time of purchase, for local
or remote operation.
