Add or Edit MiNet Devices

Use this procedure to add MiNET devices and register their credentials for secure authentication.

Note that MiNet device access is restricted to authorized users by default. Although we don't recommend it, you can lift the restriction and allow users to pass through directly to the ICP.

Note: When using MBG in conjunction with MiNet devices on a MiVoice Business, set the NAT Address Type for the devices to "Native" on the PBX.

To add a MiNet device:

  1. On the MBG main page, click the Service configuration tab and then click MiNet devices.

  1. Click the + sign.

  2. Update the device options as required and then click Save.

MiNET Device Options

Field

Description

Notes

Enabled

Select to enable the set and allow it to connect to the ICP. Clear the check box to disable access.

If the global Restrict MiNet Devices setting on the Settings screen is enabled (True), then you must select this check box to enable ICP connection for the device with these credentials.

This setting has no effect if the global Restrict MiNet Devices setting on the Settings screen is disabled (False).

Configured ICP

Select a default ICP to assign to this device.

 

MAC Address

Enter the MAC address of the phone manually, if required.

  • If the installer password is enabled on the Service configuration > ICPs tab, the device connects on its first attempt and you are prompted to enter the install password. The device appears on the Services > MiNet devices tab as Enabled, with default values, and is added to the ICP associated with that installer password.

  • If the installer password is not enabled and an unregistered remote device attempts to connect, the server automatically registers the MAC address and configures the device as "Disabled". You must modify the appropriate Device ID and select the Enabled check box to allow access for that device.

  • You can add a device to the list by manually entering the MAC address before deploying the device.

Description

Enter a text description for the set.

Alphanumeric entry. Maximum 256 digits.

Force set-side codec

In order to reduce the amount of bandwidth consumed on the Internet side of the connection, you can select the compression codec to apply to the voice traffic going to the remote MiNET set.

  • Use master setting to allow the selected remote device to use the global set-side codec option programmed on the Settings screen.

  • Disabled to allow the selected remote device to select the codec.

  • G.729a to force the selected remote device to use G.729 A-law.

  • G.711u  to force the selected remote device to use G.711 μ-law.

  • G.711a  to force the selected remote device to use G.711 A-law.

Note: Not supported for MiCollab deployments.

Default is Use master setting.

Codec support

If you are doing secure call recording and the 3rd-party call recording equipment (CRE) only supports G.711a, G.711u and G.729a, you can restrict MBG to using those codecs. If you are not operating under these limitations, you should allow MBG to use an unrestricted range of codecs.

  • Use master setting to allow the selected remote device to use the global Codec support setting programmed on the Settings screen.

  • Unrestricted to the selected remote device to use any codec.

  • Restricted to G.729, G.711 to force the selected remote device to use G.711a, G.711u, or G.729a.

Default is Use master setting.

Local streaming between device calls

Select an option:

  • Use master setting to allow the selected remote device to use the global local streaming option programmed on the Settings screen.

  • Always to force the remote device to use local streaming always.

  • Never to prevent the remote device from using local streaming.

Default is Use master setting.

Log verbosity

At times, it may be necessary to increase log verbosity for specific troubleshooting purposes. Select Normal, Very Quiet, Quiet, Verbose, Very Verbose, or Use master setting to use the Log Verbosity setting programmed on the Settings screen.

Default is Use master setting.

Log to individual file

This option enables you to collect log files for the selected remote device, enabling you to isolate and troubleshoot problems being experienced by a particular user:

The device-level log files can be downloaded from:

  • The Device logs section under the Manage device page.

  • The View Log Files panel in the MSL Server Manager. Under tug/devices look for files prefixed with the device MAC address.

Default is disabled.

 

Enable Detailed Jitter Log

Similar to log verbosity, this field controls the jitter log.

  • Use master setting to allow the selected remote IP Phone to use the global jitter log setting programmed on the Settings screen.

  • Enabled to enable detailed logging for the selected device

  • Disabled to disable detailed logging for the selected device

Default is Use master setting.

RTP Framesize

This setting overrides the default value requested by the ICP or SIP peer request. It should be changed only if your system has specific requirements. For more information about RTP frame size, see the Engineering Guidelines.

  • Use master setting to allow the selected remote IP Phone to use the global RTP Framesize setting programmed on the Settings screen.

Default is Use master setting.

Disable SRTP

Select Enabled, Disabled, or Use master setting to allow the selected remote IP Phone to use the global Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) setting.

If SRTP is enabled, then the remote MiNet sets connected to MBG must also support it. If a MiNet set does not support SRTP, MBG will cause its calls to fail.     

Notes:

  • MBG supports standard SRTP on both the set side and the switch side (in compliance with RFCs 3711 and 4771). To implement end-to-end security, enable STRP on both the MiVoice Business and MBG. MBG will then facilitate secure communication between remote and local devices.

  • Disable SRTP only when instructed to do so by Mitel Product Support.

Default is Use master setting.

Time zone

Select your time zone from the list or select "----" to have the ICP control the set's time settings.

Default is "----"

Time format

Select 12 hour or 24 hour clock or

Use master setting to use the global time format programmed on the Settings screen.

Default is Use master setting.

Tone Injection

With this option enabled, a configurable tone will be injected into all calls. See Tone Injection for details.

  • Frequency sets the pitch of the tone.

  • Duration defines the length of the tone.

  • Interval controls the time between the played tones.

  • Volume sets the volume of the tone. The values towards zero are louder.

  • Mix/Mux controls whether to mix the tone into the audio stream, or replace the audio stream with the tone while playing.

  • Direction defines whether to play the tone in the audio stream going towards:

    • RX:  the set

    • TX: the ICP

    • RXTX: both

Note: To disable the tone, clear the Enabled option and select Use master.

Default is Use master setting.
