Administrator Guide — Issue 11.0, May 2008
INTRODUCTION
This Administrator’s Guide provides all of the information an administrator should need to
know about the system hardware and features, and it gives detailed instructions on their use.
Refer to the user guide provided with each endpoint for simplified instructions on using end-
point and voice mail system features.
NOTE:
Inter-Tel recommends provisioning each system with an endpoint that has a 6-line dis-
play to allow an Administrator to program selected system data, act as the Attendant for unsu-
pervised CO recalls, receive system alarm messages, etc.
CONVERGED COMMUNICATIONS PLATFORM
The Inter-Tel Axxess
®
Converged Communications Platform is a state-of-the-art, digital,
voice/data, hybrid communications system. As a hybrid system, it incorporates many of the
user-friendly features of key systems with many of the expanded features and flexibility of pri-
vate branch exchange (PBX) systems.
The system is designed to meet the needs of growing businesses. In fact, the system’s unique
digital signal processor (DSP) structure allows it to be easily adapted and expanded as business
communication needs change, especially with the Caller ID, Automatic Number Identification
(ANI), Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS), and Integrated Services Digital Network
(ISDN) features. The modular design makes the system easy to install and service. And, the
programmable features provide an abundance of user-friendly applications to meet each cus-
tomer’s needs. Highlights of the system’s design include:
•
Advanced microprocessor technology
•
Modular, easily replaceable hardware with add-on capabilities for optional features
•
Flexible programming to customize many system and station features
NETWORKING
With system software versions 5.0 and later, you can connect two or more telephone systems to
form a network that provides a seamless interface between the systems. To the user, the net-
work appears as one integrated system. With few exceptions, the user can perform all of the
functions across the network that can be performed within a single telephone system.
In this guide, all references to a “network” mean two or more connected systems. Each system
in a network is called a “node.”
The maximum capacities for networking are listed in the following table:
Table 1. Network Capacities
FEATURE/DEVICES CAPACITY
System Nodes per network 99
Local devices per node 1792*
Off-node devices per node 25,000
Devices per network 40,000
* The maximum number of stations and trunks that can be installed is limited by
the number of voice channels and/or system memory resources available.
