ENDPOINTS
This section provides procedures for installing IP, digital, and analog single line endpoints that
operate on the Mitel 5000 platforms.
Installing IP and Multi-Protocol Endpoints
IP or SIP endpoints are connected to a power source and to the network. There is no direct
wiring from either the MDF or the Mitel 5000 platform. All IP endpoints use a LAN connection.
See the Specifications chapter for a list of supported endpoints.
This section covers the following primary topics:
• To begin installing IP endpoints, see page 5-106.
• For information on the physical interfaces for the IP endpoints, see page 5-110.
• For information on wall-mounting IP endpoints, see page 5-115.
For information on power supply compatibilities for the supported IP endpoints and devices, see
the IP Device Power Supply Compatibility Matrix, part number 835.2688.
For programming information, refer to the Mitel 5000 Features and Programming Guide, part
number 580.8006.

NOTICES
• Possible Functionality Degradation. Mitel strongly recommends using the IP devices on a managed private
network. If connected to the public Internet, IP devices will function, but the quality may suffer due to the
dynamic bandwidth availability. The possible problems could be voice quality degradation, garbled speech,
dropped calls, equipment resets, etc. Also, the VoIP suitability of any Internet connection can change at any
time, with no advance notice. Mitel cannot guarantee any voice quality when connected to the public
Internet. Therefore, Mitel is not responsible for network quality issues that are caused by using the
public Internet. For recommended guidelines on IP network specifications, see page 4-56.
• Possible Network Instability. Do not connect the IP endpoint PC ports to each other, and do not connect
them to a hub. Doing so may cause adverse network conditions. Also, Mitel recommends that you not
connect additional hard IP endpoints to the PC ports. Due to the QoS (Quality of Service) of the hard IP
endpoints, those located downstream will have a lower priority when sending data to the network. Under
heavy network conditions, voice quality may be diminished.
• Equipment Damage Hazard. Only use a single appropriate power adapter with the IP device. Do not connect
a U.S. power supply and a Universal power supply to the same IP device. Also, when using the Universal
Power Supply with a barrel connector, no devices, such as hubs, should be inserted between the KS/SLA jack
on the adapter and the LAN jack on the IP endpoint because power is supplied through the cable. To reduce
the effects of AC voltage surges and spikes that may cause damage to the electronic components, a surge/
spike protector with the following specifications is recommended:
o Clamp voltage transients at 300 VAC within 5 nsec when exposed to waveforms as described in the ANSI/
IEEE Standard C62.41-1980 (IEEE 587).
o RFI/EMI noise reduction by at least 20 dB at frequencies between 5 kHz and 30 MHz.
The Mitel CommSource division sells a surge/spike protector, part number 900.0500, that possesses all of the
recommended specifications.
