Global SIP Settings
Description
The IP phone uses the information in the Global Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) settings to register at the IP PBX.
The IP phone configuration defines network and user account parameters that apply globally to all SIP lines. Since not all
SIP lines are necessarily hosted using the same IP-PBX/server or user account, additional sets of per-line parameters can
also be defined for network and user accounts.
You configure and modify these parameters and associated values using the configuration files, the IP phone UI, or the
Mitel Web UI. The Mitel Web UI and configuration file methods configure global and per-line SIP settings on the IP phone.
The IP phone UI configures global SIP settings only.
On the IP Phones, you can configure Basic and Advanced SIP Settings. The Basic SIP Settings include authentication and
network settings. The Advanced SIP Settings include other features you can configure on the IP Phone.
Reference
For more information about Basic SIP Settings (for authentication and network), see “Basic SIP Settings” on page4-49.
For more information about Advanced SIP Settings, see “Advanced SIP Settings (optional)” on page4-63.
Basic SIP Settings
Specific parameters are configurable on a global and per-line basis. You can also configure specific parameters using the IP
Phone UI, the Mitel Web UI, or the configuration files. If you have a proxy server or have a SIP registrar present at a different
location than the PBX server, the SIP parameters may need to be changed.
The IP phones allow you to define different SIP lines with the same account information (i.e. same user name) but with dif-
ferent registrar and proxy IP addresses. This feature works with Registration, Subscription, and Notify processing. This fea-
ture also works with the following types of calls: incoming, outgoing, BroadSoft Shared Call Appearance (SCA), Bridged
Line Appearance (BLA), conference, transfer, blind transfer.
The following tables identify the SIP global and per-line, authentication and network parameters on the IP phones.
Note:
Global SIP settings are applicable only to the lines that have a dedicated Line hard key on the phone (e.g. for the 6800i
series IP phones, Line 1 and Line 2). To configure lines that do not have an associated Line hard key (e.g. Line 3 through
Line 9), Administrators must configure each individual line manually.
