Enabling Mitel SIP Phone Provisioning

 

This section describes how to install the Mitel configuration files so that Mitel phones can be 
automatically detected and provisioned by the UC server. 

Obtaining Firmware Upgrades 

The UC server supports Mitel firmware version R7.1.0.7.01.00.09. ADTRAN does not distribute Mitel 
firmware. If you need to obtain this firmware version, please contact your Mitel reseller. 

Installing the Configuration Files 

Included with this technical note is a folder containing configuration files and templates used by the UC 
server to automatically detect and provision Mitel SIP phones. You must copy this folder to the UC server 
folder tree (along with the Mitel firmware files as shown above in 

Obtaining Firmware Upgrades

). 

To install the configuration files: 

1.

 

Extract the 

Mitel (Generic)

 folder from the .zip file (located in the same directory as this 

document) and copy it to the 

PhoneTypes

 folder located here: 

X

:\Program Files\ADTRAN\NetVanta UC Server\Data\System\PhoneTypes, where 

X

 is the 

drive where the UC server program files are installed. 

For example, the path after the folder is copied might appear as follows: 

C:\Program Files\ADTRAN\NetVanta UC Server\Data\System\PhoneTypes\Mitel (Generic) 

2.

 

Copy the Mitel firmware files (as shown above in 

Obtaining Firmware Upgrades

) to the 

TFTP 

folder

 located here: 

X

:\Program Files\ ADTRAN\NetVanta UC Server\Data\TFTP, where 

X

 is the drive where the 

UC server program files are installed. 

3.

 

Restart the NetVanta UC Server Application Service. 

 

Select 

Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.

 

 

Scroll down and select 

NetVanta UC Server Application Services

 

Right-click the entry and select 

Restart
