[asterisk-users] Mitel 3300 + *

[Barry Porch]

The Mitel 3200 was Mitel's first effort at an IP PBX and ran on Windows
NT.  It has been long discontinued (many years ago) and was replaced by
the Mitel 3300.

 

There is SIP firmware available for the 5212, 5224, 5215, 5220 and 5235
phones on Mitel's sip firmware site at sipdnld.mitel.com.  There have
been regular updates to Mitel's firmware.  The Mitel SIP phones are used
in a number of large TSP installations and work fine with Asterisk.
Mitel provides support for their products through their network of
resellers.  They do not support end users directly.

 

Mitel IP phones run MiNet which is Mitel's proprietary voip protocol
when used in conjunction with the 3300 and SX-200 ICP PBXs.  This
protocol existed long before SIP and I'm not sure how it is any
stranger, funkier or more obscure than any other proprietary voip
protocol that other vendors use such as cornet or skinny.  The MiNet
protocol enables support for Mitel's 500+ legacy station features and
I'm confident that at whatever point it becomes possible or practical to
map that functionality into SIP that Mitel will do it.  They are very
committed to SIP as a company.

SIP is on the "low-end" product (3200?) which is meant as an
Asterisk-style mini-PBX that provided an entry point to get Mitel into
orgs with < 50 users, but for some reason it seems discontinued I can't
find it on their website anymore. There is a SIP stack for the 5220 and
higher phones but it is sparsely supported and it seems that Mitel did
it just to pay lip service to orgs that didn't want to give up their
5220's when they moved to a SIP based PBX. There's marketing value to
having the "Mitel" brand on the handset that the enduser picks up,
regardless of what's in the back end. Every few days one of my endusers
asks why our phone system has a funny name: "SNOM" lol

 

anyhoo you are better off not dealing with the strange, funky, obscure
and undocumented MiNet protocol.

	Thanks, I know the phones can be loaded with the sip protocol
and seem to recall from some time ago that mitel said they were going to
introduce sip to the platform and assumed they had. Oh well, back to the
drawing board.

	The 3300 uses the MiNet protocol so you wouldn't be able to
interface it over a LAN, but hooking it up the "old school" way
(crossover PRI cable) should work fine, you would have to set up DID's
on your 3300 that correspond to the extension numbers you would want to
dial the 3300 from Asterisk.

		Has anybody managed to get * working with a Mitel 3300
and if so what method (sip / h323) and licences did you use and have you
any tips or pitfalls.

		 

		Thanks
