DNIC Card 1

[619Tech]

New install
MXeIII - 6.0 PR1

I ran out of endpoint licensing creating phantom PKM's for my 5550 console blf's. Mitel Sales Engineering suggested programming a DNIC card on my MXe instead. I have not done this before. Will it create any alarms for non-existent hardware? Anyone have experience with this?

You will need to add a phantom Per Node and a phantom DNIC card. You can mask alarms busing the Set Threshold command in Maintenance. Curious as to how you ran out of endpoint licenses creating phantom PKM's. Did you create phantom IP phones for the phantom PKM's? We just add the PKM or Dual PKM to any phone(s).

I've posted this tip before nut it is now very easy to create Phantom IP phones without consuming licenses.

Since rel 5.0 you can now set the licensing to Trusted.

A trusted device can be a 5340 with dual PKM allowing up to 143 BLF's with using any licensing (as many as you want)

The other point to consider is at some point Mitel is phasing out support for the per nodes. So it could create problems down the road when using the fake per node method. Would suggest kwbMitel's method.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

@ SXWizard: I usually just add a PKM to an existing endpoint, but that has come back to bite me later on a couple of installs.

@kwbMitel: This is what I needed, I'd forgotten about the trusted part. THX!!

@LoopyLou: Roger that!
