Mitel TA7102 SIP setup with MCD.

Do not use the wan port. It has a DHCP server that caused havoc on my network.

Use the lan port and find the IP address on your router. The MAC address usually begins with 00:90:f8.

Login with the default user of "public" and no password.

These three screens are the minimum configuration I needed to receive a fax with the device.







I can not get one of these to make calls on the Mitel 3300 yet!!!

If anyone knows how, let me know.

VPN setup between Fortinet and Meraki

I have this working with several Fortigate models and Meraki MX.

Fortigate setup on 5.2. It also worked on 4.0 but the screens are different.

Ipsec Tunnels
Create New
Custom VPN Tunnel
Name xxx
IP Address from Meraki dashboard
select Interface
Uncheck Nat Traveral and Dead Peer
Enter Pre-Shared key
Remove all Phase 1 Proposals except "3DES SHA1"
Check only DH group 2
Change key life to 28800
Enter name for Phase 2
Enter local and remote subnets for Phase 2
Click Advanced
Remove all Phase 2 proposals except "3DES SHA1"
Uncheck PFS
Add static route for remote subnet
Add two firewall policies two allow traffic to and from tunnel.

The Meraki side is simple.
Site-to-site VPN.
Add non-peer.

Cable modem setup
(This was required on one Meraki unit but I have several working with no change to the cable modem.)
Forward ports 500 and 4500 to Meraki.

Update: VPN setup between Fortinet and Meraki - Part 2

How to get ping and telnet on MacOS High Sierra.

I know these are not secure apps but I still use them all the time. Download inetutils and get ping and telnet.

https://www.gnu.org/software/inetutils/

open terminal

cd Downloads

cd inet*

./configure

Install command line tools

./configure

make

sudo make install

I have trouble with the inetutils ping because it ignores lost packets. This is my fix to stick with macos ping.

cd /usr/local/bin

sudo mv ping ping.bk

How to change Mitel 3300 system telnet password.

I recently found out you can telnet into Mitel systems with a default password. Https and telnet have different system passwords. Even if you change the password in the browser, telnet is still open.

Here is the way to change the telnet password.

telnet 1.2.3.4

High Sierra hiding lost pings.

I just noticed that lost pings are hidden. It was irritating enough that ping now requires elevation.

Update: I had installed inetutils to get telnet and ftp on High Sierra. That is what broke my ping.

JetDirect printers on the Internet with no password.

This was my search on shodan.io. There are 700 JetDirect printers on the Internet with no telnet password. Why have the hackers not taken over these printers
