Set IP Extension PIN Codes
In MD110/Mitel TSW the password for the IP extensions was initiated in the IPEXI command. In MX-ONE 7.x, a PIN is used instead, which is the same as the Regional (Individual) Authorization Code (RAC). The reason for doing this change is to make it possible for the end-user to change his PIN.
The Regional Authorization Code is initiated by using the command auth_code_init. Set the parameter -code to a valid value and set -cil to the directory number, which is also set in -dir. RAC is limited to use only (1 to 7) digits.
The matrix below shows the combinations of passwords, Regional Authorization code and what to use when registering the telephone after the migration.

- Ensure that the passwords (initiated with IPEXI) conform to the new format, that is, with only (1 to 7) digits.
- If the passwords have to be changed, do the changes in the old system.
- The terminals shall be registered with the changed password. Log off and log on the terminals with the changed password. It is at this stage that the password or PIN is stored in the telephone.
- Update the fw in the terminals to the version which supports PIN instead of password.
- If RAC is used for the IP extensions in the old system, inform the end-users that they have to use their RAC as PIN when register the telephones after the upgrade.
- Upgrade the telephony system.
- Ensure that all the telephones are registered to the telephony system. Use MX-ONE Service Node Manager, IP Phone Administrator.
As an alternative to that the end-user log on with the changed password or PIN, the system administrator can log on to the telephone through the web interface and enter the changed PIN manually.
