Preparation
This section provides instructions on how to apply firmware upgrades (if necessary) and how to set up the
phone for automatic detection and provisioning.
Setting the Protocol
Mitel supports two protocols: MiNET and SIP. MiNET is a proprietary communication protocol
developed by Mitel exclusively for their private branch exchange (PBX) systems. Mitel phones by default
ship with the MiNET protocol enabled. Because the UC server uses SIP for communication, you must
change the phone to SIP mode.
To set the phone to SIP mode:
Hold down the
*
and
7
keys while the phone is booting. After about 5 seconds, a message will
appear on the screen that says
CHANGE CONFIRMED
. This means that the phone is now in
SIP mode.
