MiVoice Office 250/Mitel 5000 / Manually Specify VLAN on handset
« on: June 17, 2013, 12:16:34 PM »
Hi
About to get a mitel 5000 system installed and something's come up that I hope somebody can help with.
We've got a dedicated VLAN set up for the phones, with a DHCP server. The sockets for them are trunked so that they're working on the default VLAN but devices that can declare which VLAN to use can also connect with them.
All the discussions about mitel handsets and vlans seem to require option strings on the dhcp server. We're using m0n0wall which doesn't seem to support that. So using dhcp to tell the phones which vlan to join isn't currently possible.
This could all be fixed by configuring each handset with a static VLAN. Is this possible? Other posts mention holding 9 or the up and down arrows on start up but I can't find documentation describing it.
Many thanks!
