Getting Started
The 6905 IP phone automatically begins the startup sequence as soon as it is connected. The phone
goes through this process the first time you plug in your phone and every time you restart your phone.
The 6905 IP phone first checks the settings and looks for new configuration and firmware updates
from a configuration server. It may take a few moments while the phone downloads the latest updates.
When the configuration update is complete and your phone successfully connects to the network,
the phone displays the following
Home
screen.
For more information about connecting your phone, see the
Mitel 6905 IP phone Installation Guide
.
Setting Up Your Phone
To use all the functions of your IP phone, your phone needs to be assigned to you and you need to
know your password for the voicemail system. You can determine whether your phone is already
assigned to you as follows:
• If the phone displays your extension, your system administrator has already assigned your phone
to you, and you do not need to assign the phone to yourself. When your phone is in this state,
you can receive calls, make calls, and check for new messages using visual voicemail.
CAUTION:
Do not unplug the power adapter or remove power to the phone while the phone is
checking or installing firmware or configuration information.
Note:
If the phone displays a
No Service
status message, the phone is not registered with the
system. For more information about registering your phone, contact your system administrator.
