Mitel 6800 Series SIP Phone Release 4.2.0 Administrator Guide

VISITOR DESK PHONE SUPPORT

GENERAL OVERVIEW AND CONFIGURATION
A Visitor Desk Phone (VDP) feature has been implemented allowing users the ability to log in
to any VDP-configured phones and thus use that respective phone as his/her personal device
for the duration of the logged in session.
Note: For VDP functionality, the phone must be configured to accept XML SIP NOTIFY
messages. This can be enabled by defining the "sip xml notify event" parameter as "1"
in the respective configuration file, or by placing a checkmark in the "XML SIP Notify"
option found under the Advanced Settings > Global SIP > Advanced SIP Settings section
in the Web UI. See
information.
Using the "startup.cfg", "<mac>.cfg", or "<model>.cfg" file, Administrators can provision each
of the respective phones with a generic visitor account that has been configured for the specific
environment and then simply define the "user config url" parameter, which specifies the
configuration server URL where the <user>.cfg is located when utilizing the Visitor Desk Phone
(VDP) feature.
Notes:
1. If an HTTP/HTTPS server is being used to store the <user>.cfg file, then the following
two files need to reside in the folder specified by the "user config url" parameter:
• upload.html
• upload_file.php
To obtain these two files, please contact Mitel Technical Support.
2. The Visitor Desk Phone feature will not be functional when using the HTTP/HTTPS
protocol without these two files properly installed on the HTTP/HTTPS configuration
server.
3. PHP must be installed on the HTTP/HTTPS server and the folder must have read
and write permissions.
For example, the respective configuration file for a simple visitor account could contain the
following:
sip auth name: 5000
sip display name: Acme Inc.
sip password: 12345
sip proxy ip: 100.200.50.60
sip proxy port: 5060
sip registrar ip: 100.200.50.60
sip registrar port: 5060
sip screen name: Visitor
sip user name: 5000
sip dtmf method: 1
sip xml notify event: 1
user config URL: http://100.200.50.79/vdp/
