FEATURE DESCRIPTION
Configuration Features
Support for "startup" Configuration,
Encryption, and License Files
(For Administrators)
Beginning with Release 4.0.0 SP1, the phone will search for and
parse configuration, encryption, and license files named
"startup.cfg", "startup.tuz", and "startup.lic" respectively. Apart
from the file names, the "startup" files act as identical
replacements for the "aastra.cfg", "aastra.tuz", and "aastra.lic"
files.
Note: Release 4.0.0 SP1 supports both the "startup" and "aastra"
files, but if the "startup" files are available, the phone will
disregard the "aastra" files (if available). The "aastra" files will be
used if the "startup" files are unavailable and will continue to be
supported going forward to ensure backwards compatibility with
existing customer deployments.
*New for all phones.
Support for 24 Lines
(For Administrators and Users)
The total number of lines available for the 6865i, 6867i, and 6869i
SIP phones has increased from 9 to 24 in Release 4.0.0 SP1. All
per-line settings can now be defined from lines 1 to 24 for the
applicable SIP phones. Customers will need to provision phone
programmable keys, softkeys, or expmod keys of type “line” to
access the additional accounts.
*New for the 6865i, 6867i, and 6869i.
Autodiscovery Support for Multiple
mDNS Servers
(For Administrators and Users)
The Mitel 6867i and 6869i SIP phones now support the
auto-discovery of multiple mDNS in Release 4.0.0 SP1. When
unconfigured (i.e. factory default) phones are booted up, if
multiple mDNS servers are found, users are able to select the
desired mDNS server they want to utilize for configuration
purposes
*New for the 6867i and 6869i.
BroadSoft XSI Credentials Using
the Configuration Files
(For Administrators)
The "xsi ip" parameter can now be used by Administrators in
Release 4.0.0 SP1 to define XSI Enterprise Directory credentials
in addition to XSI server details.
*New for all phones.
