Hi all,
im not sure if im possting to the right section but i have a few things i need to know about the 5212 and 5312 telephone.
I am hearing the term dual mode in relation to these telephones. My understanding of this means that the telephone can boot in two ways, as a system telephone for using on the mitel 3300 / 5000 telephone systems and in SIP mode for using with a SIP or hosted provider - is this correct?
In SIP mode does this mean that the telephone does not need to be communicating with a Mitel system but can work with any hosted provider. If so im finding it difficult to get a provider that they work on. anyone know a provider especially UK/Ireland where they work
Is this function just available on 5312 or does 5212 also have it?
Is it software dependent or does specific firmware need to be loaded to the phone making it SIP compatible.
A bit long winded i know but any answers much appreciated
regards

Admittedly I haven't been following the "Mitel Phone as SIP device" related postings but there is an active posting that may be related to your question here: mitelforums.com/forum/index.php/topic,4382.0.html (http://mitelforums.com/forum/index.php/topic,4382.0.html)
