Note: The Mitel 6800/6900 families of SIP/IP phones contain a large number of products, including executive and desk phones to meet a wide variety of enterprise needs. Instead of outlining each product here, we've provided links below so you can explore these rich product lines for yourself.

Note: There is currently no video walkthrough for configuring a SIP trunk on this device series. Check back as we update our docs.

Note: You have the option to configure these settings in the Mitel Web UI, the IP Phone UI, or the configuration files. This document covers configuration using the Mitel Web UI and the configuration files. Because each of the 6xxx series phones have slightly different UIs, please find your specific UI on page 78 of the Administrator Guide.

Note: Use the Administrator Manual to find information about configuration file precedence (page 66). For detailed information about each configuration parameter, see Appendix A, "About this Appendix" (page 843)

Note: SIP parameters are configurable on both a global and per-line basis. This section identifies the parameters for global authentication. If you're setting this up as a per-line authentication, see this section.

IMPORTANT: This must be set up by an administrator. Additionally, note that you can only create one Persistent TLS connection per phone.

This document will provide you with the values you'll need, and it is linked multiple times in this section.

For more information about Mitel's requirements, see page 692 of the Administrator Manual.

For more information about the TLS settings in the config files, see page 964 of the Administrator Manual.

IP PHONE UI PARAMETERS

MITEL WEB UI PARAMETERS

CONFIGURATION FILE PARAMETERS

VALUE

N/A

Transport Protocol

sip transport protocol

This is the protocol the phone will use when sending SIP data. The default is UDP.

If you use TLS: the phone will check to see if sips persistent tls is enabled. If it is enabled, the phone uses Persistent TLS on the connection.

If sips persistent tls is disabled, then the phone uses TLS on the connection.

If TLS is used, you must specify the Root and Intermediate Certificates, the Local Certificate, the Private Key, and the Trusted Certificates.

N/A

N/A

sips persistent tls

Enables/disables the use of Persistent Transport Layer Security (TLS).

Persistent TLS sets up the connection to the server once and re-uses that connection for all calls from the phone. The setup connection for Persistent TLS is established during the registration of the phone. If the phones are set to use Persistent TLS, and a call is made from the phone, this call and all subsequent calls use the same authenticated connection. This significantly reduces the delay time when placing a call.

If the phone uses Persistent TLS, you MUST specify the Trusted Certificates; the Root and Intermediate Certificates, the Local Certificate, and the Private Key are optional.

N/A

N/A

sip persistent tls keep alive

Allows you to configure the keep-alive feature for persistent TLS connections only. When this feature is configured, the phone will send keep-alive pings to the proxy server at configured intervals.

Note: The real time interval will vary between 80% and 100% of the configured value.

N/A

N/A

sip send sips over tls

Allows administrators the ability to manually configure the IP phones to use either the SIP or SIPS URI scheme when TLS or persistent TLS is enabled.

N/A

Root and Intermediate Certificates Filename

sips root and intermediate certificates

Allows you to specify the SIP Root and Intermediate Certificate files to use when the phone uses the TLS transport protocol to setup a call.

This parameter is required when configuring TLS (optional for Persistent TLS.)

N/A

Local Certificate Filename

sips local certificate

Allows you to specify the Local Certificate file to use when the phone uses the TLS transport protocol to setup a call.

This parameter is required when configuring TLS (optional for Persistent TLS.)

N/A

Private Key Filename

sips private key

Allows you to specify a Private Key file to use when the phone uses the TLS transport protocol to setup a call.

This parameter is required when configuring TLS (optional for Persistent TLS.)

N/A

Trusted Certificate Filename

sips trusted certificate

Allows you to specify the Trusted Certificate files to use when the phone uses the TLS transport protocol to setup a call.

The Trusted Certificate files define a list of trusted certificates. The phone’s trusted list must contain the CA root certificates for all the servers it is connecting to. For example, if the phone is connecting to server A which has a certificate signed by CA1, and server B that has a certificate signed by CA2, the phone must have CA1 root certificate and CA2 root certificate in its Trusted Certificate file.

This parameter is required when configuring TLS or Persistent TLS.
