Initial Mitel Endpoint – Manual Configuration
The following manual configuration procedure is required the first time only for each endpoint.
All future updates to the endpoint are automatic. Provided the DB Programming option is set to
enable the onboard TFTP server (refer to the Mitel 5000 Features and Programming Guide, part
number 580.8006, you can provide future endpoint firmware updates by upgrading system
software. The method to do this is through the Admin Session Web pages. To force a manual
upgrade, you must reboot the endpoint using the volume up/down buttons, as described below.
To configure the Mitel IP endpoints manually:
1. Make sure the Inter-Tel 5000 system is up and running, and then make sure you have
done the following (if applicable):
• Configured the Mitel IP endpoints in DB Programming (refer to the Mitel 5000
Features and Programming Guide, part number 580.8006. Also, read “Notices” on
page 5-106.
If a Mitel IP endpoint is pointing to the Mitel 5000 and the endpoint has not been
configured in DB Programming, the display appears to be downloading but nothing
is actually happening. You must configure the Mitel IP endpoints in DB
Programming before configuring the endpoint.
• See the troubleshooting section on page 5-177 for any endpoint issues.
2. While the endpoint is powering up, press both volume buttons and then release one
of the volume buttons.
3. Using the dialpad buttons, enter cfg (234).
4. Configure the network information for each endpoint. To backspace, press star (*); to
enter a period, press (#).
a. Press
*
=YES at the Network Parameters screen.
b. Keep pressing #=NO until you get to the Modify Static Values screen.
c. Press
*
=YES at the Modify Static Values screen. The Static Network Parms menu
appears.
d. Press the volume down button to scroll to ICP IP Address, and enter the Mitel 5000
Base Server IP address.
e. Press the volume down button to scroll to TFTP SVR IP Address, and enter the
Mitel 5000 Base Server IP address.
f. Press the volume down button to scroll to TFTP SVR Port, and enter 69. If left at 0,
the default, the endpoint will first try port 20001 and then it will try port 69.
g. Press the volume down button to scroll to Store Changes.
h. Press
*
=YES to store the changes.
i. Press
*
=YES at the Reboot Now display.
When finished, the display shows the extension information and the date and time.
5. (Optional) You can connect a PC to the PC port on the back of the endpoint. If desired,
thread the PC cable through the slot on the back of the installed base unit, as shown for
the LAN cable in Figure 5-64 on page 5-175.
6. Continue to the Programming chapter in the Mitel 5000 Features and Programming
Guide, part number 580.8006, for information on programming endpoints or other
features in this release.
NOTE
This procedure assumes the Mitel 5000 system is up, configured, and running—
this includes the desired number of Mitel IP endpoints configured in DB
Programming.
