Getting Started
Getting Started
In SIP mode, the Mitel™ 5235 IP Phones manage their own call states and features.
SIP uses the Internet to connect your phone to other SIP phones. To make a call you
can dial by SIP URL or by IP address. You can also make calls to phones on the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), or “regular”, phone network. If you have an
account with a SIP Service Provider, you can also dial by a user ID (Identification) name
or extension number.
In SIP Enhanced mode, your 5235 IP Phone becomes a dedicated SIP phone with
advanced SIP-B features like shared lines (also called "Bridged Line Appearance" (BLA)
in Sylantro environments or "Shared Call Appearance" (SCA) in Broadsoft
environments). For more information about SIP Enhanced mode, refer to Using SIP
Enhanced Mode on page
33.
For information on how to program and change features on your SIP-supported phone,
refer to this guide and to the Web Configuration Tool online Help (see
Supporting
Documentation
on page 3).
SIP User Accounts and Passwords
Your Administrator usually configures SIP accounts for SIP phone Users and
Administrators. You need a SIP User account in order to
• Register your phone with your SIP Service Provider
• Make calls by dialing a user ID name or extension number
• Access the Web Configuration Tool.
If you do not have a SIP user account, you can use your phone with limited access to
some SIP features and functionality (for example, you will not be able to dial by user ID
name or extension number or to access the Web Configuration Tool).
SIP Administrative Mode
Administrators need an administrator user account and password to
• Modify network configuration settings and SIP Service Provider information
• Access SIP setting menus through the phone’s Superkey menu interface and Web
Configuration Tool.
See
Administrator Tools on page 29 for more information.
