Hello fellow Mitellers

[Cade_Connelly_13]

Greetings from an old soul who loves playing ZZT, has an insatiable urge to find out how things work, and is burning out his brain with network security classes after 10-hour days to pay for them. 

I'm crazy-happy to find a dedicated Mitel forum after having to scour the Internet for answers to the simplest questions. Glad to see y'all!

Cade_Connelly_13,

Welcome to the forums.

What type of equipment do you work on?

Thanks,

TE

A small company with 5320e's, using SIP-over-TLS 1.2

Felt like an idiot when I spent half a day trying to set up packet capture for future use, couldn't see a damn thing, and finally remembered I'd need to set up port mirroring or get an in-line TAP.

My boss took one look at the powered $250 Gigabit TAP's and said "forget it", https://www.amazon.com/Throwing-Original-Monitoring-Ethernet-Communication/dp/B077XY2TGD/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=Network+Tap&qid=1609227183&refinements=p_36%3A1253503011&rnid=386442011&s=electronics&sr=1-2]so I settled for this instead:

Looks like some kid's workbench project, but it did the trick.

Cade_Connelly_13,

Well, welcome to the site as I said before.

Most of the people here are well versed in the Mitel product line they work on so you should be able to find what you need. You will want to figure out what phone system controller the phones are talking to though so you can post in the correct portion of the forum as that is how things are setup here.

As for the Mod-Tap whatever works for you is the best product.

Thanks,

TE
