ENABLING/DISABLING THE MITEL WEB UI
The Mitel Web UI is enabled by default on the IP phones. A System Administrator can disable
the Mitel Web UI on a single phone or on all phones if required using the configuration files.
System Administrators can also disable Users ability to login to the Mitel Web UI. With the Mitel
Web UI disabled, users will still be able to lock/unlock the phone with a PIN from the IP Phone.
Administrators can disable the user Web UI using the configuration file. System Administrators
have the option to either disable the Web UI for both the Administrator and User, enable for
both the Administrator and User, or enable the Web UI only for the Administrator.Use the
following procedure to enable and disable the Mitel Web UI.

WEB UI SECURITY FEATURES
WEB UI Lock
A security enhancement has been implemented whereby after multiple failed attempts to access
the phone's Web UI, the Web UI access page will be locked for a specified period of time. The
period of time is exponential (i.e. the period of time increase relative to the number of failed
attempts). The table below details the period of time the Web UI is locked vs. the number of
failed attempts made.
