Getting Started

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. To make a call you can dial by SIP URL or by IP address. You can also make calls to phones on the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), or “regular”, phone network. If you have an account with a SIP Service Provider, you can also dial by a user ID (Identification) 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).
