Special Considerations for Mitel Endpoints
Consider the following before installing the Mitel IP endpoints:
• Systems running Basic Voice Mail (BVM) must upgrade the CompactFlash
®
card to either
512MB or 1024MB before upgrading.
• When upgrading Mitel 5000 software versions, Mitel recommends that you do not use a
wireless network connection because a wired connection is less likely to interrupt the
upgrade.
• The Mitel Models 5212 and 5224 are not supported for remote/teleworker locations.
• When using a Mitel Model 5330 or 5340 from a remote/teleworker location, make sure port
69 is open on the corporate firewall to allow communication to the Mitel 5000 server.
• Mitel IP endpoints use DHCP option 128 for TFTP communication and DHCP option 129
for the call control address. Inter-Tel IP endpoints use DHCP option 66 for TFTP
communication and UDP discovery (broadcast) for the call control address (.cfg file).
• DB Programming provides the option to convert existing Inter-Tel endpoint extensions to
Mitel endpoint extensions.
• Preprinted paper designation cards are available for the Models 5212 and 5224.
Mitel Endpoint Hardware Installation and Cabling Procedure
To install Mitel IP endpoints:
1. Plug the handset cord into the handset port and thread it through one of the slots on
either side of the base unit. See Figure 5-64 on page 5-175 for connection point
examples.
2. Thread the LAN cable plug through the slot on the back of the installed base unit, and
plug it into the LAN port on the back of the endpoint.
3. Plug the other end of the LAN cable into one of the following:
• Phone port on Ethernet power adapter (power brick). Then, connect the Ethernet
adapter to the LAN using a separate LAN cable. Plug the power adapter into an AC
power outlet.
• LAN-powered (PoE) jack. The LAN-powered endpoint can also provide power to
any attached peripheral, such as a conference unit or a DSS/BLF console
(reserved for future use).
4. (Optional) Plug the headset cord into the headset port on the back of the endpoint.
Thread the headset cord through one of the slots on either side of the base unit, as
shown for the handset cord in Figure 5-64 on page 5-175.
5. Optional for Model 5224 (reserved for future use): For the LAN-powered 5224 endpoint
equipped with a peripheral (for example, the Model 5310 IP Conference Unit), plug the
DC adapter cord (part number 51005172) into the power input and AC power outlet.
6. Do either of the following:
• Continue to “Wall-Mounting Mitel IP Endpoints” on page 5-176.
• Continue to “Initial Mitel Endpoint – Automatic Configuration (DHCP)” on page 5-
178.
• Continue to “Initial Mitel Endpoint – Manual Configuration” on page 5-179.
