System Networks and Nodes
Two or more Mitel 5000 CP systems can be connected to form a network, providing a seamless
interface between the systems. For example, a 5000 CP in Phoenix, Arizona can be connected
to another 5000 CP in Tampa, Florida. System users can place calls across the network to
other extensions as if they were in the same building. Each system can have its own time
settings, call configurations, System Speed-Dial contacts, and so on.
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 appear in Table1.
Table 1: System Network Capacities
Network Node or Device Capacity
System Nodes per network 99
Local devices per node 304a
a. The maximum number of phones and trunks that can be installed is limited by the number of voice channels
and system memory resources available.
Off-node devices per node 10,000b
b. Depends on system licensing.
Devices per network 40,000
