Introduction
The Inter-Tel 5000 Network Communications Solutions platform can be licensed and pro-
grammed to support multi-protocol, IP, SIP, digital, and single line phones, as well as other
endpoints and system-enhancing hardware. The platform supports communication needs from
individual workstations to single-site or network-wide Hunt Group arrangements.
Types of hardware available include basic “hard” IP phones that typically support workers in
an office environment. Some phones are multi-protocol—that is, they operate in either IP or
SIP mode. Some operate in IP mode only and others operate in SIP mode only. Other options
include wireless IP phones, a “soft” phone that operates on a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA),
and Single-Line Adapters that support standard single line phones.
For Attendant-like capability, the system supports a 16-extension direct station select (Mini-
DSS) unit that attaches to one of Inter-Tel’s Six-Line Display IP or digital phones. To enable IP
communication through the public telephone network, the Inter-Tel CS-5200/5400 also sup-
ports gateway trunk hardware.

Chassis Interfaces/Connections
The Inter-Tel CS-5200/5400 chassis provides multiple access portals to the features and func-
tionality of platform. From the front of the chassis, the technician can set-up the system—and
programs it if desired—read system alarm messages, backup voicemail messages, and monitor
ongoing system events. From the back of the chassis, the technician can connect system power,
a local area network (LAN), trunks and spans, two single line endpoints, two loop start trunks,
and an external music source, paging system, and voice mail system.
Front of the Inter-Tel CS-5200/5400 Chassis
The front of the Inter-Tel CS-5200/5400 chassis provides the following interfaces:
•
A two-line liquid crystal display (LCD) panel with control buttons.
•
Three Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports that provide for system monitoring by a techni-
cian, for backing up voice mail, and for installing the system’s licensing security key.
•
A Bay for an Inter-Tel-formatted CompactFlash memory card that stores system appli-
cations, the system database, and voice mail prompts and received messages.
