MiVoice Office 250/Mitel 5000 / Re: 2-in-1 Wireless Bridge with POE Injector?

Sarond, the MTL-300AN is a great find. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

If anyone is interested, I purchased the Powerline Ethernet adapter from COP-Systems to try it out, and was very pleased. The setup was very easy (plug the adapters in and push a button on each one), and the connection was better quality than the wireless connection anyway. This ended up costing $75: $60 for the PoE powerline adapter, and $15 for the TP-Link AV200 non-PoE powerline adapter. Running a new Ethernet drop would have cost about $100, so this was cheaper, and more practical for a remote user in a home office.

MiVoice Office 250/Mitel 5000 / 2-in-1 Wireless Bridge with POE Injector?

« on: October 10, 2016, 03:06:53 PM »

What's the best setup for a home user with a desk phone, but no Ethernet near his workstation? I would love to see see a wireless bridge with a built-in POE injector as discussed in this thread, but after hours of research I'm pretty confident this doesn't exist. Has anyone found something like this?

It sounds like the next-best thing is to get a Powerline AV200 bridge with a built-in POE injector, which does exist:
Ebay: Powerline Ethernet adapter with POE injector for IP Camera in one case
Ebay: Comtrend Powergrid 9141s-poe Powerline Network Adapter

Has anyone tried a Powerline bridge with a Mitel desk phone? How is the call quality?

Are there better options to get an Ethernet connection to a remote user who won't be close to their router?

We're using the 5320e, 5330e, and 5340e phones with MiCloud.

We did try plugging the phone into the Ethernet port on the user's computer and configuring the computer as a wireless bridge. This works, but only when the laptop is on. We would like to have a connection that is independent of the user's computer.

That would make sense, based on this discussion:

Mitel Software Applications / What does Mitel.PIM.ServiceHost32.exe do?

« on: April 27, 2016, 12:59:12 PM »

I'm cross-posting this question from the Mitel User Group forum.

Launching MiCollab for one of our users always brought up an error window:

Title bar: "Error (Not Responding)"
Content: "The operating system is not presently configured to run this application."
[OK]

The funny thing was, MiCollab was still working fine, even with the error message there. The error message just stopped responding when I tried to dismiss it. I looked in the task manager and found it was actually running under a separate process, called "Mitel.PIM.ServiceHost32". I could kill this process from the task manager without any obvious ill effects: MiCollab kept running fine.

Uninstalling and reinstalling MiCollab had no effect.

I ended up renaming "Mitel.PIM.ServiceHost32.exe" to "MItel.PIM.ServiceHost32.exe.old" just so it wouldn't run. Everything seems to be fine working now. What is "Mitel.PIM.ServiceHost32" supposed to do, anyway? Is something going to go terribly wrong in the future since I am keeping this from running?
