Can't Transfer on IP 712

[tce]

I have an IP 712 phone connected to a Mitel 5000 system.  I have it basically working but I can't get transfers to work.  Do I need to have more than one prime line to allow for a transfer?  If so, do I need to essentially register two SIP stations to one phone to get two intercom buttons?  When I transfer I simply press the Transfer button (I don't get dialtone) and enter the destination extension and hangup.  The call remains on the prime line.

Luke, the IP7XX phones require a line key to be available for every active call, so in a transfer operation, you must have at least 2 keys for that line on the phone. Below is an example of the portion of a working configuration showing the button setup:

# This is the line definition.  Reg.x.TEXT where x is the line number that will

# be used to reference this line to a line button

Reg.0.AuthUserId   9603

Reg.0.AuthPassword 1234

Reg.0.Did          9603

Reg.0.DisplayName  John Doe

Reg.0.Enable True

Reg.0.Multiple True

Reg.0.Realm GP

Reg.0.VoiceMail *869603

# Buttons are numbered from 1 to 4.  Button.n.Label defines the text

# that will be displayed on the LCD next to each button.

Button.1.Label 9603

Button.1.Type line

Button.1.Line 0

Button.2.Label 9603

Button.2.Type line

Button.2.Line 0

Thanks for the info Jay.  I managed to get this working a while ago by doing just what you said here.  I will still copy down these notes and save them for future use.
