Introduction
The Mitel 5610 Cordless Handset and IP DECT Stand provide Mitel Communications Director (MCD)
or 5000 Communication Platform (CP) SIP call processing features on a cordless handset. The IP
DECT stand supports up to eight cordless handsets. Each handset can be programmed as a
separate extension on the MCD system or you can program the cordless handsets in a personal ring
group to allow a group of users to answer calls to the same extension number.
The IP DECT stand connects to the network through the PC port on a Mitel 5312, 5320, 5324, 5330,
5340 or 5360 IP Phone. The IP DECT stand provides call transfer, conferencing, and other basic
features between handsets. As well, the MCD or 5000 CP system
extends the system’s SIP phone
features to the handsets.
This document provides instructions on how to configure the IP DECT stand and 5610 Cordless
Handsets to support SIP telephony. Note that instructions for physically installing the IP DECT Stand
are covered in the “5610 Cordless Handset and IP DECT Stand Installation Guide”. Separate
versions of this installation guide are provided for the MCD and 5000 CP.
