Configuration using the Management Interface (MI)
Once the IP address is configured for the Extender 4000, you can use Telnet over the existing LAN
connection to access the MI. This connection enables you to access the MI. The MI enables you to fully
manage the i-Series Extender 4000 from your PC.
Note: If a LAN is not readily available at the time of configuration, you can Telnet into the 4000 Extender if
the PC is directly connected into the Extender PC port.
Alternatively, you can use the remote login feature of the Gateway. For detailed instructions on starting
the MI, refer to the Configuration chapter of the System Administrator’s Guide.

IP Call-Suspend Setup
Use the MI to configure the Call Suspend feature. The Call Suspend feature allows the telecom manager
to reduce network costs by suspending the transmission of IP packets when all telephones are inactive
for a configurable period of time. When the line is disconnected the telephone displays indicate that they
are in the Call Suspend mode. When a user goes off-hook or an incoming call occurs, IP packets are
again transmitted, and all telephones are taken out of Call Suspend mode.
The Call Suspend feature assumes that if the IP connection is down, it is possible to receive busy signals
from the network preventing communication. This causes an interruption of telephone service to the
branch office. This assumption leads to setting the Call Suspend timer to a value that ensures that IP
packets are transmitted during normal business hours.
The expected usage pattern for the IP connection is that at the beginning of the business day, the
telephones are brought out of Call Suspend mode transmitting IP packets when the first user either goes
off-hook or an incoming call arrives. Packets are transmitted for the remainder of the business day
because all telephones are not idle longer than the Call Suspend time-out value. At the end of the day, all
telephones become inactive for the Call Suspend timeout value and no more IP packets are sent. If
anyone works late or comes in early, normal usage causes the IP packets to be transmitted.
