Getting Started
In SIP mode, the Mitel™ 5235 IP Phones manage their own call states and features.
SIP uses the Internet to connect your phone to other SIP phones. You can make calls
on the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), or “regular”, phone network. You
can also call other SIP phones by dialing SIP URL or IP address. If you are registered
with a SIP Service Provider, you may also be able to dial by user ID name or extension
number.
In SIP Enhanced mode, your 5235 IP Phone becomes a dedicated SIP phone with
advanced SIP-B features like shared lines (also called "Bridged Line Appearance" (BLA)
in Sylantro environments or "Shared Call Appearance" (SCA) in Broadsoft
environments). For more information about SIP Enhanced mode, refer to Using SIP
Enhanced Mode on page 33.
For information on how to program and change features on your SIP-supported phone,
refer to this guide and to the Web Configuration Tool online Help (see Supporting
Documentation on page 3).
SIP User Accounts and Passwords
Your Administrator usually configures SIP accounts for SIP phone Users and
Administrators. You need a SIP User account in order to
• Register your phone with your SIP Service Provider
• Make calls by dialing a user ID name or extension number
If you do not have a SIP user account, you can still use your phone with limited access
to SIP features and functionality.
SIP Administrative Mode
Administrators need an administrator user account and password to
• Modify network configuration settings and SIP Service Provider information
• Access SIP setting menus through the phone’s Superkey menu interface and Web
Configuration Tool.
See Administrator Tools on page 29 for more information.
