Configure the DHCP server:

The Mitel phones use a number of specific DHCP options to get their configuration data. You will have to configure your DHCP server with the following options:
  • option mitel_tftp code 128 (ip-address); (mandatory)
  • option mitel_rtp code 129 (ip-address); (mandatory)
  • option mitel_type code 130 (text); (mandatory)
  • option mitel_vlan code 132 (text); (optional, not tested)
  • option mitel_prio code 133 (text); (optional, not tested)

  • Example of configuration
    • option mitel_tftp [SOP IP ADDRESS];
    • option mitel_rtp [SOP IP ADDRESS];
    • option mitel_type "MITEL IP PHONE";

Example of configuration for an ISC DHCP server: 

# These are Mitel IP Phone related options
option mitel_tftp code 128 = ip-address;
option mitel_rtp code 129 = ip-address;
option mitel_type code 130 = text;
option mitel_vlan code 132 = text;
option mitel_prio code 133 = text;

subnet 172.16.32.0 netmask 255.255.224.000 {
...
       option mitel_tftp 172.16.35.153;
       option mitel_rtp 172.16.35.153;
       option mitel_type "MITEL IP PHONE";
       #option mitel_vlan "0";
       #option mitel_prio "6";
...
}

ALERT! If you chose to run the DHCP server on a SOP, please use version 1.4 or higher of the related module. In that case, all specific Mitel options will be automatically set.

Autoprovisioning

Please consult the Customer DHCP Server configuration guide for more information about the DHCP options necessary for autoprovisioning of this type of device.

Notes

6863/7/9i models

The version 1.4.0 is a big upgrade targeting only these models (PC-1925). It is required to use the new resources v2.0.0., whose sync_code has been rewritten to support full reconfiguration from SOP (allowing FMA to instantiate it). This introduces a new dependency with SOP Base in order to evaluate LUA on SOP.

The 6867/6869 also supports now querying the directory by LDAP. This is not enabled for 6863 because it doesn't support querying based on a research and fetch all directory at boot instead.

A new Module parameter has been introduced for the admin password. By template, it is set to use the same as Polycom's one defined in SOP Profile. If the value is empty, we consider the Mitel's default one : '22222'.

The firmware installed is : 5.0.0.1018
