In order to use this IP telephone with your telephone system you will need a sound broadband connection.
If you only have a single circuit plug available (e. g. in home offices) but would like to access the Internet with your laptop while making calls with the telephone, you can connect the network cable (R145) to your telephone and thanks to the switch integrated in the telephone, simultaneously connect your laptop directly to the telephone (except Mitel (Aastra) 6730i).
Since October 1st, 2014 Aastra is renamed Mitel. All Aastra IP telephones were renamed to Mitel.
The Mitel 6753i is End of Life since July 1st 2015.
All telephones you receive are preconfigured and connected to the telephone system.

- Activate the function on the administration portal.

⇒ The active call is now encrypted.
Call forwarding
You can configure various call forwarding scenarios. For this purpose you can use the call forwarding profiles.
Under the telephone menu you can only edit the default profle (catch all / always) to be found under the call forwarding profiles. You can edit the remaining call forwarding profiles via Ncontrol or via the administration portal. For more information, refer to the administration portal manual and the Ncontrol manual.
The following call forwarding options are available. You can activate or deactivate call forwardings via the telephone menu's call settings.
Permanent call forwarding (always)
All incoming calls will be forwarded directly to the predefined telephone number.
Forward if busy (busy)
New calls will be forwarded immediately, when coming in during an active call. This call forwarding option functions only, if the Call Waiting function is deactivated.
Delayed call forwarding (no answer)
Call forwarding condition: You do not answer the incoming call within a defined time period (timeout). The timeout can be set to 5, 10, 15 or 20 seconds. Where should the incoming call be forwarded after the specified time has elapsed? The caller receives a call waiting signal and is then forwarded to the defined destination.
If unavailable (not registered)
The option functions only if the end device is not registered to the telephone system:
- When the Internet connection fails or there is no LAN connection.
and
- If “call forwarding …if unavailable” is programmed for a direct extension (e.g. extension 123 - John Doe) and a caller calls the direct dial number for the extension directly, call forwarding applies. If the extension is a member of a queue or a group and the queue or group receives a call, call forwarding for the individual extension no longer applies! In general, the destination should always be an available destination number. I.e., make sure that no voicemail or announcement comes on.
Active call forwarding will be shown on your telephone display.
Active call forwarding will be shown on your telephone display.
Call forwarding codes
Call forwardings can alternatively be activated through * codes:
| *10 | Activation of the call forwarding profile |
| *11 + destination | Permanent call forwarding to telephone number |
| **11 | Cancel permanent call forwarding |
| *12 + destination | If no answer after a specific time, delayed call forward to telephone number |

| *13 + destination | If busy, forward to telephone number |
| **13 | Cancel call forwarding if busy |
| *14 + destination | Call forwarding if unavailable |
| **14 | Cancel call forwarding if unavailable |
When disconnecting
When disconnecting the connection between the end device and the telephone system, it can take up to 60 seconds for the call forwarding to work. Once the end device is reconnected to the telephone system, it can take up to 60 seconds for it to register.
The basic function of “Hot desking” allows cancelling the registration of existing users and registering new users to your end device. This function is useful when employees frequently change their work station but don’t take along their end devices. After completing registration, your configuration is automatically copied to the new telephone.

Generating Callbacks
A caller generates automatic connection establishment within the private branch exchange (PBX) to a previously busy party (only internally). If the the other party cannot be reached, the caller is able to use the callback function. In order to activate the function, insert *5 into your key pad. An accoustic confirmation will finalize the activation. As soon as the other party is available again, its end device receives a callback generated by the PBX. As soon as the other party answers the callback, the PBX sends out a call to the initial caller and establishes the connection.
Erase Callbacks
If the callback is no longer needed, all call backs can be erased by entering the **5 code into the key pad. An accoustic confirmation finalizes the erase.
An overview of all function codes of the PBX can be found here.
