Chaging the time on the 5212 IP system

The IPO should get its time from the VM Pro server. The time server should be
set to the IP address if the VM Pro pc. If there isnt a vmpro pc, you can set
it manually.

For IP Office systems without access to a time server, a number of methods to
manually set the system time exist. These are available in the IP Office 4.1+.
The following method is only supported on these phones: 2410, 2420, 4412, 4424,
4612, 4624, 4610, 4620, 4621, 5410, 5420, 5610, 5620, 5621, 6412, 6424. It is
supported on any analog, T3, T3 IP or wireless (IP DECT, 3600, 3700 Series)
phones.



Note: If the IP Office system that is still configured for automatic time
updates (on by default), any manually set time and date will be overridden on
the next automatic update. The use of automatic updates can be disabled by
setting the System ' System ' Time Server IP Address to 0.0.0.1.

Enabling a User Button for Time and Date

Select the user who can adjust the system time and date.
If necessary create a new user who can be used to log in and set the
time and date before logging out.
On the User ' Telephony tab, ensure that the option System Phone is
selected.
On the User ' Button Programming tab select and double-click on an available
button.
Select Emulation > Self-Administer as the action.
In the Action Data field enter 2.
Enter an appropriate label for the button.
Adding another button set to the Emulation > Time of Day action is
recommended as this will allow the user to view and confirm the systems current
time.
In the User tab, Change System Phone Rights to "Level2"
Send the updated configuration to the IP Office.

Using the Programmable Button

Press the programmed button. If the user has a Login Code enter it as
requested, and press Done
The options Date and Time are displayed.
To set the date press Date.
The current system date is displayed.
Enter the new date, using two digits for day and month. Use the * or #
keys to insert the / separators. The format for date enter matches the locale of
the IP Office system.
During entry the key labeled <<< can be used to backspace.
When the full date has been entered as required, press Next.
Press Done.
The phone will return to idle.
To set the time press Time.
The current system time is displayed.
Enter the new time using 24-hour clock format. Use the * or # keys to
insert the : separator.
When the full time has been entered as required, press Done.
The phone will return to idle.

The time is set from within the phone system and is sent out to all the display sets. You will have to log into the phone system and change it there. This is different on an SX200 ICP than it is on a 3300 ICP. But in either case you will have to know the IP address of the phone system as well as login credentials to it.
I suggest you contact your phone system vendor for specifics. Most sites I work with has a Point of Contact for the site that handles day to day maintenance on the phone system - such as name changes, button assignments and time changes.

Good Luck,

Press and hold the up arrow key while booting the phone. Configure telephone - YES, Network Parameters - yes, then NO until you see Change. Set the appropriate information, IP address, default gateway, ICP IP address, TFTP server address, etc.

You should be warned that this gains nothing except making another device on the network that requires deliberate management.

The time on the phone is managed by the phone system. I suggest you contact the system administrator or system vendor.

The newer releases of the 3300 ICP, now known as MCD, can synchronize it's time. Older systems can't sync the time unless you have OPSMAN.

The Advisory messages are programmed from within the phone system. Contact your System Administrator, or vendor for setting them up.

Contact your system admin or vendor. The time is set in the phone system, not in the phone.

The time and date come from the Mitel Telephone system, it would have to be set there.
Each phone gets their information from the system.

If its just the backlight then you can stay in a well lit area and look at the screen that way to change the setting, also you could try plugging it in to keep the backlight on.

There are a number of Headset that will plug directy into the back of your 5212 phone. (I would suggest Googling for results) As for Monitoring an agent the Mitel ICP has the capability to allow a supervisor to dial a code and mointor the agent while on a call. Contact you Mitel Vendor and I'm sure they would be happy to make the program chage for you. (This is a class of service and Feature acces code change)

No you cannot.
The Mitel 5212 uses propitiatory software unlike SKYPE which uses open architecture software. You IS Dept. could invest into a Teleworker Server and you could have all of the features of your office phone at home.
