Software Keying
Beginning with release of 14A of the common code base (CCB) software, each Impact FX System
includes a software keying mechanism. This keying mechanism, or key, is an encrypted string of
characters, that installers obtain from a Comdial representative and enter into VMMI programming
during the initial software enable or subsequent software upgrade operations.
A software key enables the following components:
•
feature sets (such as, 13C, 14A, and so forth),
•
slot count/port size (such as, seven slots/112 ports, 15 slots/ 224 ports, 29 slots/464 ports),
•
standalone features (such as, Networking, Impact or Impact SCS telephone support and so forth).
NOTE: Stand alone features are often for a special purpose and operate in addition to a feature set
grouping.
The software key controls the active feature set of the installed software by controlling access to the
database configuration of all features. For example, if an installer used a software key that only
provides support for feature set 13C to install release 162, VMMI will enable only the programming
options allowed under the 13C feature set even though release 162 can support feature set 14A.
Comdial ships both the Impact FXS and Impact FXT systems with a test mode software package that
allows these systems to run for one hour and operate as a six slot (FXS) or seven slot (FXT) platform.
The test mode allows installers time to set up the system and request the software key.
Using the Software Key
Installers use the VMMI program to enable the software key, thus they must have the software file (the
xxxxxxxx.bin file) stored on the PC from which they plan to run the VMMI program. Further, they must
determine the system serial number and then call a Comdial representative to obtain a software keying
character string that the system uses to enable the software.
NOTE: Installers do not need to install a hardware mechanism (or key) onto the serial port of the PC to
enable the software although they do need to do so when obtaining the magic number needed to turn on
the CTI applications. Having that mechanism installed does not interfere with system software enabling.
