MiVoice Office 250/Mitel 5000 / Re: Planning for 5000 install

The easiest way to do DHCP for Mitel phones in a network with a 5000 that doesn't have a DHCP server capable of handing out the correct options is to purchase a used PC or older server that is Linux compliant (or the customer may have an old PC/server laying around, those old Windows Server 2000/2003 boxes work great), and install MSL but do not license it or register it with AMC, then you have gained two (possibly 3) very useful tools, a SMTP email relay server, a Mitel compatible DHCP server, and if needed it can be a router or inter-VLAN gateway as well. We typically use some 3-4 year old dual-core HP business class PC's from state surplus that we get for $40-$80, works like a champ! Or if the customer insist on a new unit, there are sub-$300 PCs that work well available from many vendors.

Hi Ace,

I'm curious as to how you do inter-vlan routing with MSL, do you use just the one NIC?

Cubby which is in beta at the moment is looking very promising.
You can request an invitation from their website, it only took a day for mine to come through.
