Communication Types
The following communication types are discussed in this appendix.
• Administration (see below)
• IP Endpoints and Trunks (see below)
• Private Networking (see below)
• “Computer Telephony Integration (CTI)” on page B-6
• “Audio and Web Conferencing” on page B-6
• “System Manager” on page B-6
Administration
The Mitel platform provides administrative functions through its network connection. These
functions include:
• DB Programming
• System Manager
• Web-based diagnostics
• Diagnostics Monitor
• TFTP: Trivial File Transfer Protocol
• SSH/Telnet/USB Console
IP Endpoints and Trunks
The Mitel platform communicates to endpoints through the internet protocol (IP). There is a
proprietary protocol known as Proprietary mode (ITP) as well as the industry-standards protocol
SIP, MGCP, OAI, and RTP.
• Voice to/from the Mitel platform
• Peer-to-peer voice
• ITP: Inter-Tel Protocol
• TFTP: Trivial File Transfer Protocol
• MGCP: Media Gateway Control Protocol
• SIP: Session Initiation Protocol
Private Networking
The Mitel CS-5200/5400/5600 is capable of connecting with other Mitel CS-5200/5400/5600
and Inter-Tel Axxess systems to form a network that supports many call processing features.
This networking capability can be implemented using point-to-point T1 or PRI circuits, or it can
be implemented using IP. This appendix is focused on IP-based networking. See
Private Networking for information on how to set up and program IP Networking. Appendix A
also provides information on setting up and programming T1 networking.
