Registering Mitel BluStar for PC
The configuration and registration of a Mitel BluStar for PC softphone on the communication server differ from the registration of a Mitel SIP phone.
Preliminary operations with WebAdmin
-
Check whether a free BluStar Softphones or BluStar Softphone Video Options licence is available.
-
Open a new user or select an existing user.
-
Create for the user a Windows user name and define a PIN or password.
-
Open the Multimedia register and select under BluStar the
Softphone checkbox. -
Click the Apply button.
A BluStar for PC type terminal has now been assigned to the user.
-
Click the terminal and complete other settings as needed.
Installing the softphone
-
Copy Mitel BluStar for PC from the download server and unzip the zip file to a network drive to which all client PCs have access.
The advantage of installing the clients from a network drive is that you only have to change the files on the network drive during a software update. When the application is started, the clients check whether there is new software on the network drive and automatically run the update.
-
On a client PC start installing the softphones by double-clicking the file “BluStarClientSetup.exe“ then follow the installation instructions.
The softphone is now installed on the PC.
Registering the softphone
-
Start the softphone on the client PC.
-
In the start window, enter the registration data you specified during preliminary work at the user's (Windows user name and PIN or password).

Under configuration server replace the entry <Mitel 400 IP> with the IP address of your communication server. (Example: http://192.168.104.100/bsc)
The softphone registers with the communication server.

Under options, configure the audio and video devices as well as other user-specific settings.
