About SIP and Your Phone

About SIP and Your Phone
The following Mitel IP Phones support SIP:
5215 IP Phone
5220 IP Phone.
In SIP mode, your 5215 or 5220 IP Phone becomes an intelligent SIP phone that manages its own call states and features. SIP uses the Internet to connect your 5215 or 5220 IP Phone to other SIP phones. To make a call you can dial by SIP URL or IP address. You can also make calls to phones on the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), or “regular” phone network. In addition, if you have an account with a SIP Service Provider, you can dial by a user ID (Identification) name or extension number.
For information on how to program and modify features of your SIP-supported phone, refer to this guide and to the Web Configuration Tool online Help (see Supporting Documentation on page 2). For installation and wall-mounting information, refer to the Installation Guide packaged with your phone.

User SIP Account

To make a call by dialing a user ID name or extension number, you need a user name and password, and must be registered with a SIP Service Provider; otherwise, you can still use the phone, but will not be able to dial by user ID name or extension number. The Administrator usually configures SIP accounts.

Administrative Mode

Using the administrator user name and password, the Administrator can modify some settings such as network and SIP Service Provider information, and perform such tasks as a firmware upgrade. For more information, see Administrator Tools on page 33.

The 5215 IP Phone

The 5215 IP Phone has eight fixed-function keys, two arrow keys and seven personal keys with built-in status indicators. The personal key on the bottom left is always your Prime Line. Other personal keys can be programmed as Speed Dial keys. In addition, your Administrator can program the remaining personal keys as Shared Line keys.
The 5215 IP Phone also offers a display-assisted selection of features, on-hook dialing and a large Message Waiting/Ringing Indicator.
For more key and feature information, see Elements of Your Phone on page 5.

About SIP and Your Phone

Elements of Your Phone

This section describes elements of your phone, and is organized in relation to the number call-outs (e.g.
Display Screen
Provides a high-resolution, back-lit viewing area for ease of use. When the phone is idle, the time and date appear on the display screen. When using the Superkey Menu Interface, prompts and feature information appear on the display screen.
Message Waiting/Ringing Indicator
Flashes orange when you have a new message in your voice mailbox or an incoming call. The Message Waiting/Ringing Indicator is solid orange while the phone reboots.
Soft Keys (5220 IP Phone only)
Select associated commands listed on the bottom line of the display screen. These commands change dynamically depending on the modes of the operation and the menu currently displayed.
) in Figures 1 and 2 (on page 4).
Fixed-function Keys
Give you access to the following phone functions:
Superkey (blue): provides access to the phone's menus.
Trans/Conf: initiates a call transfer or establishes a three-party conference call.
Redial: calls the last number, name, SIP URL or IP address dialed.
Message: provides access to your voice mailbox (optional).
Hold (red): places the current call on hold.
Cancel: ends a call when pressed during the call, and, when you are programming the
phone, eliminates any input and returns to the previous menu level.
Speaker: initiates a handsfree call, switches between handset and handsfree mode or
disconnects a call while in handsfree mode.
Microphone: toggles the microphone off and on. In handsfree mode, an orange light
indicates that the microphone is on; therefore, your party hears you. In handset and headset mode, the microphone key acts like a Mute key, and an orange light indicates that the microphone is off; therefore, your party cannot hear you.
Arrow Keys
Adjust the volume of the handset, headset, speaker or ringer. When entering letters, these keys change character input from upper or lower case and vice versa. These keys are also used to change the display contrast, and to navigate through some menus when
programming the phone. In this guide, the arrow keys are represented by
and .
Keypad
When making a call, used to enter the number, name, SIP URL or IP address you want to dial. When programming the 5215 or 5220 IP Phone, used to enter information. Depending
- 5 -

on the context, lets you enter only numbers, or numbers or letters and some special characters.
Designation Card and Lens
Used for labeling Personal keys and for holding the designation card in place. For information on how to remove the lens and install the designation card, refer to the Installation Guide packaged with your phone.
Line Keys
Allow you to initiate, receive and manage calls by using the pre-assigned Line keys. The default Line key is Line 1. On the 5215 IP Phone, Line 1 is the bottom left key (see Figure 1 on page 4), and, on the 5220 IP Phone, Line 1 is the bottom right key (see Figure 2 on page
4). If a line is busy, subsequent calls are received on the next available Line keys. There are two Line keys on the 5215 IP Phone, and four Line keys on the 5220 IP Phone. The Line keys are not assigned to a specific directory number or address (multi-line operation).
Personal Keys
On the 5215 IP Phone, keys 3 and 4 (counting upwards from the bottom; see Figure 1 on page 4) provide one-touch access to programmed Speed Dial numbers. In addition, your Administrator can program these keys as Shared Line keys. Key 5 is pre-assigned as the Headset key, key 6 is the Advisory Message key, and key 7 is the Call Logs/Phone Book key.
On the 5220 IP Phone, keys 1 through 7 (in the left row, counting upwards from the bottom; see Figure 2 on page 4) provide one-touch access to programmed Speed Dial numbers. In addition, your Administrator can program these keys as Shared Line keys. In the right row, key 5 (counting from the bottom upwards) is pre-assigned as the Headset key, key 6 is the
Advisory Message key, and key 7 is the Call Logs/Phone Book key.

Accessories for Your Phone

Headsets
The 5215 and 5220 IP Phones support the Mitel Headset with a Feature Control Switch. The headset must be installed in the dedicated headset jack. Installation will disable your handset microphone. Disconnecting the headset at the jack or at the quick-disconnect plug restores handset operation. If handset operation is required for an extended period of time, press the
Headset key to return the phone to handset mode.
Conference Units (5220 IP Phone only)
Mitel supports the 5310 IP Boardroom Conference Unit for use with the 5220 IP Phone. For more information on the conference unit, refer to the 5310 IP Boardroom Conference Unit documentation (see Supporting Documentation on page 2) or contact your Administrator.

Getting Started

Getting Started
After installing and familiarizing yourself with your 5215 or 5220 IP Phone, you are ready to access and use your phone’s SIP and “regular” features. To do so, you may use either of the following two interfaces:
Superkey Menu Interface
Web Configuration Tool.
This section explains how to access both interfaces so you can then customize your phone’s features (see Customizing Your Phone on page 12). In addition, this section provides important information about
Phone-specific menu selection and data entry.
Phone and Web Configuration Tool passwords.
Call encryption.
Your comfort and safety.

Accessing Your Phone’s Features

The Superkey Menu Interface
You can use the fixed-function keys to directly access most features on your phone. For other features, use the phone’s Superkey Menu Interface. To access the Superkey Menu Interface, simply press Superkey on your phone. For more information on the Superkey menus, see
Appendix A — Superkey Menu Interface on page 42. For menu selection information, see Menu Item Selection on page 8.
The Web Configuration Tool
In addition to your phone, you can use the Web Configuration Tool to make calls, and to personalize and modify your phone’s settings. As well, your Administrator can use the tool to perform administrative tasks. The Web Configuration Tool is accessible from any Personal Computer (PC) connected to the Internet and running a web browser that is either
Netscape Navigator 4.8 or later.
Internet Explorer 4 or later.
Any other equivalent browser.
Note: If your network is protected by a firewall, you may not be able to access your phone
using the Web Configuration Tool from outside the firewall.
There are two login access accounts for the tool: an administrator account and a user account. The account used to log in determines the type of web configuration pages accessed. For instructions on how to access the Web Configuration Tool, see Accessing the Web Configuration Tool on page 8. For password information, see Passwords on page 9. For

Web Configuration Tool Passwords
As learned in Accessing Your Phone’s Features on page 7, you can use a web browser called the Web Configuration Tool to program and modify features on your phone. When first accessing the Web Configuration Tool, default user names and passwords for the Administrator and the user are required. It is recommended that you change these passwords as soon as possible to prevent unauthorized changes to your settings.
CAUTION: Do not modify any settings that may affect the transmission of voice or tones (such as DTMF) to the local telephone network through your Service Provider, except at the express instruction of your Service Provider. An example of such a modification would be to change the CODEC type. Failure to heed this cautionary note may render your phone non-compliant to local regulations.

(5220 IP Phone)

Call Encryption Indicator

The 5215 and 5220 IP Phones automatically provide Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) voice encryption when connected to a phone that also supports SRTP. A “secured call” icon (closed padlock) appears on the display for encrypted calls, and for conference calls in which all connected parties support SRTP. An “unsecured call” icon (open padlock) appears on the display when the call connection is not secured (the connected party (or parties) does not support SRTP encryption). If SRTP is disabled, an icon will not appear.
For an icon to appear, SRTP must be enabled. To enable or disable SRTP, your Administrator must access the Protocols page of the Web Configuration Tool (see The Web Configuration Tool on page 7).
Note: A “secured call” icon or an “unsecured call” icon appears only when you have a voice
connection. For example, an icon will appear if you are speaking to a party; an icon will not appear if you receive a busy signal.

Tips for Your Comfort and Safety

Don’t Cradle the Handset
Prolonged use of the handset can lead to neck, shoulder or back discomfort, especially if you cradle the handset between your ear and shoulder. If you use your phone often, you may find it more comfortable to use a headset.
- 10 -
Getting Started
Protect your Hearing
The 5215 and 5220 IP Phones have a control for adjusting the volume of the handset receiver or headset (see Customizing Your Phone on page 12). Because continuous exposure to loud sounds can contribute to hearing loss, keep the volume at a moderate level.
Adjust the Viewing Angle of Your Phone
To tilt your phone for better viewing of the keys:
1. Press the release tabs on the sides of the stand.
2. Hinge the two front hooks and snap the two back hooks of the stand into either the upper or lower notches on the back of the phone.

Upgrade the Phone’s Firmware

The phone uses TFTP to download firmware from a TFTP server, or HTTP to download firmware from the HTTP server. You can use either the phone or the Web Configuration Tool (see The Web Configuration Tool on page 7) to perform a firmware upgrade. If you use the Web Configuration Tool, access the tool’s Firmware Update page.
If you use the Web Configuration Tool, the phone’s original configuration is preserved; therefore, the phone will function as it did prior to upgrade, without the need to reconfigure settings.
If you use the options available on the phone, previous configurations may not be saved and restored; therefore, you may have to manually reload a previously saved configuration file or manually reconfigure phone parameters.

- 37 -
5215 and 5220 IP Phone SIP User and Administrator Guide
access the Network Configuration and Firmware Update pages of the Web Configuration Tool (see The Web Configuration Tool on page 7).
The options available to perform an HTTP or TFTP firmware upgrade include
OFF: If HTTP or TFTP is set to OFF, then firmware upgrades will not occur.
ON: This option compares the current firmware versions with the versions available on
the SIP server. If HTTP or TFTP is set to ON and the firmware currently loaded on the phone and the firmware available on the server differ, then you will be prompted to confirm the upgrade.
AUTO: If HTTP or TFTP is set to AUTO and the firmware currently loaded on the phone
and the firmware available on the server differ, then an upgrade will automatically occur without user intervention. Usually, an automatic upgrade will occur every 24 hours at approximately midnight. The phone must be idle in order for the automatic upgrade to occur. After a successful firmware download, the phone will reboot.
Note: HTTP takes priority over TFTP if both modes are enabled (i.e. On); otherwise, the
firmware will download in the specified mode.
CAUTION: During this procedure, DO NOT remove power from the phone while firmware is downloading or the phone is rebooting. This may result in severe damage to your phone.
To upgrade the phone’s firmware in the main program:
1. Press Superkey, and then press >> until SETTINGS & OPTIONS? appears on the display.
2. Press OK, and then press ▼ until UPGRADE FIRMWARE? appears on the display.
3. Press OK. CHOOSE PROTOCOL appears on the display.

Additional Settings

Additional settings that you can program or modify include
Configuration files
Hot Line
Media configurations.
Configuration Files
The 5215 and 5220 IP Phones support configuration files for automatic programming. The two types of configuration files are
Generic file: applies its defined settings to all SIP-supported phones.
Specific file: applies its defined settings to a specific SIP-supported phone.
Configuration files are stored on the HTTP server or the TFTP server. The generic configuration file is loaded first, then the specific configuration file. If both files contain settings for the same parameter, the specific configuration file will overwrite the information from the generic configuration file.
Before a 5215 or 5220 IP Phone can automatically download configuration files from an HTTP or a TFTP server, you must access the Network Configuration page of the Web Configuration Tool (see The Web Configuration Tool on page 7) to configure the following options:
HTTP Server or TFTP Server
Use HTTP/TFTP Configuration Files.
When a phone with these settings reboots, the phone first requests the generic configuration file from the HTTP or TFTP server. If the file exists, it is downloaded and all of its parameters overwrite the existing parameters on the phone. The phone then requests the specific configuration file from the HTTP or TFTP server. If the file exists, it is downloaded and all of its parameters overwrite the existing parameters on the phone. Only the parameters defined in the configuration files are overwritten on the phone. If the phone requests a configuration file that is not on the HTTP or TFTP server, settings on the phone do not change.
Note: When a 5215 or 5220 IP Phone uses configuration files, you can still change settings
manually; however, if these settings are also defined in the configuration files, the files will overwrite the manual settings the next time the phone reboots.
Generic Configuration File (SIPGeneric.cfg)
You use the generic configuration file to change global settings such as Media Configuration and Voice Mail. The generic configuration file is a text file saved as SIPGeneric.cfg on the HTTP or TFTP server. To create a generic configuration file, use a text application such as Notepad or SimpleText, or use your favorite word processing application and save the file as a text file.
Note: If you exceed the number of characters allowed in a field in the generic configuration
file, then the information in that field will be rejected.
- 40 -
Administrator Tools
Specific Configuration File (SXXXXXXXXXXXX.cfg)
You use the specific configuration file to change phone-specific settings such as user names and passwords, and Hot Line configurations. Each specific configuration file (one per phone) is a text file saved as SXXXXXXXXXXXX.cfg on the TFTP server, where the Xs are the 12­character hexadecimal MAC address of the phone. To create a specific configuration file, use a text application such as Notepad or SimpleText, or use your favorite word processing application and save the file as a text file.
Note: If you exceed the number of characters allowed in a field in the specific configuration
file, then the information in that field will be rejected.
Hot Line
When a Hot Line number, SIP URL or an IP address is set up, the 5215 or 5220 IP Phone automatically dials that number or address when taken off-hook.
To program a Hot Line, access the User Configuration page of the Web Configuration Tool (see The Web Configuration Tool on page 7).
Media Configuration
To change the Media Configuration settings, access the Media Configuration page of the Web Configuration Tool (see The Web Configuration Tool on page 7). Media Configuration settings include parameters for sending and receiving audio signals over the IP network.
