Wall-Mounting Model 8500, 8520, and 8560 Digital Endpoints
Because there are two types of bases used on the Model 8000 series digital endpoints, two sets
of instructions for wall-mounting the endpoints are included here. Determine which type of base
the endpoint has and follow the appropriate instructions.
For best results when wall-mounting the Model 8000 Series digital endpoints, Mitel strongly
recommends that you use the two plastic rivets shipped with the endpoint. Once installed, the
plastic rivets lock the components into place, providing additional stability for wall-mounted
endpoints.
Model 8000 series digital endpoints are shipped with a plastic adhesive label that covers the
rectangular wall-mount knockout on the base of the endpoint. A portion of the adhesive label
must be removed to use the wall-mount knockout.
To wall-mount the Model 8000 series digital endpoints, use an industry-standard wall-mount
bracket (sometimes called a wall jack assembly) and a four-inch line cord. Both of these items
are available through the Mitel CommSource
®
division or Mitel Europe.
To prepare the endpoint for wall-mounting (regardless of base type):
1. Remove the metal plate from the base of
the endpoint by removing the two plastic
rivets to unlock it from the back.
2. Slide the cover off. The two plastic rivets
are not included on endpoints built prior
to May 2005.
3. Use a sharp blade to cut out the
rectangular portion of the adhesive label
covering the wall-mount knockout (see
diagram at right).
The following instructions apply to endpoints that
have a support mechanism (see illustration
below) that fits into holes in the base.
IMPORTANT
Mitel recommends not wall-mounting the Model 8000 Series digital endpoints
if users will be frequently connecting and disconnecting cords (handset,
headset, line) and/or cables (Ethernet, USB, power supply). To connect and
disconnect these cords and cables from a wall-mounted endpoint, users will
need to remove the endpoint from the wall.
