5201 IP Phone configuration
interopPbxs:
I deleted the user from the 3300. I have also plugged in a second 5201 phone that has never been provisioned.
On both phones the MWI blinks and both show up as "Config Reserved" as the lease type from the DHCP Lease Viewer. All other devices show up as "Dynamic" as the lease type.
MitelMania:
config reserved means that the Mitel DHCP server issues the phone an IP address, however the phone did not respond. if the firmware is older in your 5201's make sure you do the OLD way of setting up the DHCP server using the separate options 128-130, as opposed to the DHCP option 43 / 125 way... I have found more than one case of a 5201 sitting on the shelf with very old firmware in it so it wont recognize the newer DHCP scheme until it boots all the way up and downloads its firmware from the PBX...

Thanks...
Setting up the Old DHCP settings did the trick.

Great - thanks for letting us know what fixed it up for you - and for teaching us what DHCP problems look like on a 5201!
