IP 8000 Conference Phone Application Note—Page 8
There is no default “SIP Password”, it is masked with the
appearance that there is, but don’t be confused to think
that there’s a default password. You can modify it to any
value you wish, remember this password as you will need
it when configuring the IP 8000 SIP parameters. Save
your changes.
This completes all of the ShoreTel configuration param-
eters necessary to install the IP 8000 Conference phone
at the Headquarters site (HQ)
If the IP 8000 is being installed at a remote site, you will
also need to create an “IP Address Phone Map”. You can
do so via ShoreWare Director, navigate to the “Adminis-
tration”, “IP Phones…”, “IP Address Phone Map” screen,
then add an entry for the desire site, with the IP address
of the IP 8000 conference phone.
Note: You may have noticed that ShoreWare Director’s
“Call Control…” section contains a “SIP Profiles” option.
ShoreTel’s release 8 comes standard with a “_System”
and “_ShorePhone IP 8000” SIP profiles, they cannot be
deleted (only disabled). The IP 8000 conference phone
utilizes the “_ShorePhone IP 8000” profile, there is no
need to add a custom profile, do not disable this profile
(or the “_System” profile), otherwise the IP 8000 will not
be added to the ShoreTel system. Refer to the ShoreTel’s
release 8 Server Notes for more information.
