warns you in the following way when you don't have Dependency

<DIV><SPAN class=150444215-07012009><FONT face=Arial size=2>To enable this
feature, please go to the Enterprise Parameters page in the System menu and set
the Enable Dependency Records to True. Enabling the Dependency Records
functionality causes high CPU usage and may impact call processing. This task
may take a long time to complete due to dial plan size and complexity, CPU speed
and the CPU requirements of other applications. If you are monitoring CPU usage,
you may experience high CPU usage alarms."</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
