.Description
The Mitel® 112 DECT Phone (Universal) and Mitel RFP 12 Single Cell Base
Station provide SIP call processing features on a cordless handset. The base
station supports up to twenty cordless handsets.
The base station connects to the network via a LAN cable. The base station
extends the SIP phone functionality from the communications platform to the
phones. You can purchase additional phones and chargers from the Mitel
Customer Service order desk.
The phone has an indoor signal range of up to 50 meters (150 feet) from the

Installation
Connect the Cables
1. Connect the LAN cable into the LAN port on the back of the base station.
2. Connect the other end of the LAN cable to a LAN jack.
3. Connect the power supply adapter cable to the power input jack. See
in Figure .
4. Plug the power supply adapter into an appropriate wall outlet. Ensure the
LED on the base station flashes yellow.
Install Handset Batteries
1. Release the battery cover at the bottom of the back panel and remove.
2. Insert rechargable batteries in the handset.
3. Replace the back panel and slide shut.
Set Up Handset Charger
1. Install the appropriate 2-prong wall outlet connector into the charger power
supply adapter. To remove the currently installed connector, depress the
small tab and slide it up.
2. Plug the charger’s power supply adapter into an appropriate wall outlet.
3. Place the handset in the charger. When you place the first handset in the
charger, the handset automatically registers with the base station. After the
first handset is registered, there is a 5 minute period during which you can
register additional handsets. To register additional handsets after the 5
minute period has expired, you must press the Reset button on the base
station to start a new 5 minute registration period.
4. Charge the batteries. We recommend that you charge the batteries fully
before first use. Initially, it takes approximately 10 hours to fully charge the
batteries. Normally, it takes approximately 6 hours.
Configuration Requirements
You must complete the following configuration before the handset is fully
functional:
1. License and program the Mitel 112 DECT Phone as a SIP Phone:
• For MiVoice Business systems, program the SIP phone with a SIP
device type. Refer to the MiVoice Business System Administration Tool
online help for instructions.
• For MiVoice Office 250 systems, see the MiVoice Office 250 Features
and Programming Guide and/or the Database Programming online help
for instructions on how to program SIP phones.
