Safety instructions

Correct use/declaration of conformity

The Aastra Phone 312 is a handset for calling via SIP in a WLAN. The CE mark on the product confirms its conformity to the technical guidelines for user safety and electromagnetic compatibility, valid at the time of issuing the corresponding declaration of conformity according to European directive 99/5/EC.

The declaration of conformity can be viewed online at http://www.aastra.com.

Like every cordless phone, this handset uses radio signals which do not always guarantee a connection establishment in all circumstances. Therefore as a rule you should never rely solely on cordless phones for essential communication (e.g. medical emergencies).

Electricity supply/power failure/battery

This product requires an AC supply for the use of the charging point. The electricity can only be disconnected from the charging point when the mains adapter is taken out of the socket.

If there is a power failure, all saved information (program and user data) is retained without changes.

Important advice on the battery can be found in the section “Precautions when handling the battery”.

Safety

The charging point can only be installed and used in a closed building. Place the charging point on a non-slip mat.

Do not install the charging point and the handset near:

•Water, moisture or damp areas (e.g. bathroom)

• Sources of heat, direct sunlight or unventilated areas

• Devices, which produce strong magnetic fields, electronic devices, fluorescent lamps, computers, radio devices, televisions or fax/phone devices

• Areas where the device could be covered, or where its ventilation could be obstructed, or where water could run into it

• Dusty areas, and areas which are subject to vibrations, jolting or extreme temperature fluctuations.

Using the phone

The following advice must be observed without fail when installing, connecting and operating the phone:

• Position the connecting cable where it will not cause accidents.

• Only connect the connecting cable to the intended sockets.

• Only connect authorized accessories.

• Only use the mains adapter plug supplied (ID no.: 4515303).

• Research has shown that in certain cases portable phones, which are switched on, can influence medical devices. Therefore when using portable phones within medical facilities, comply with the regulations of the institution concerned.

• Never

- open the charging point or the handset (except for the battery cover) yourself.

- touch the plug contacts with sharp or metallic objects.

- carry the charging point by the connecting cable.

• Only clean your telephone with a slightly damp cloth.

• Do not use your phone in areas where there is the danger of explosion.

Install and keep the handset and accessories out of the reach of children.

Advice for hearing aid users

Before using the handset, hearing aid users should be aware that the radio signal will engage with the hearing aid and could cause an unpleasant buzzing noise at sufficient volumes.

Using the phone

Overview and basic information

General

With the Aastra Phone 312 calls are made over the Internet (VoIP - Voice over Internet Protocol). Access is gained via access points (APs) of a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network). The handset itself uses the SIP standard (Session Initiation Protocol), so that the connections must be made via an SIP server or an SIP compatible phone system, which also supports this protocol.

The following requirements are valid for the WLAN APs:

• Radio network standard IEEE 802.11g (strongly recommended) or IEEE 802.11b

• Encryption WPA2 (recommended), WPA1 and WEP and unencrypted operation are supported.

• For WPA, an authentication by PSK (pre-shared key) is supported.

• The APs must support and have activated WME (Wireless Media Extensions), also known as WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) (otherwise the battery life during conversations will be considerably shorter and the speech quality will be reduced).

Familiarize yourself with the configuration of your phone. You will get to know lots of new functions, which will make communication and organization easier for you.

Please note: The handset is not suitable for use in private or public WLAN access points (hotspots).

Details regarding standby and talk times

The battery energy consumption strongly depends on the characteristic of the access points (APs) used. Please make sure that the AP supports the WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) feature (also known as WME or 802.11e) as well as ADSD (Asynchronous Power Save Delivery). Moreover, you should be able to set the Delivery Traffic Indicator MAP (DTIM). The talk time of the handset is optimised by WMM, and the standby time by DTIM. A DTIM setting of 5 is recommended. In nets with very high broadcast loads, it may also be reasonable to select smaller values which will, however, reduce the standby time. Networks with high broadcast loads (e.g. in the region of 5 packages per second or more) generally cause worse standby times as each of these packages must be received and analysed by all WLAN devices. The reasons for this load are mostly ARP enquiries that are sent to the WLAN without having been filtered. In large nets, a separation on a higher network layer is thus recommendable, e.g. by IP routing. Thus, you can also increase the data throughput and the battery life-span of other WLAN devices.

If these features are not supported, the battery life-span can be more than halved. Settings for the power saving mode of the handset can be found at the entries for the WLAN profiles. Moreover, a bad radio connection (great distance to the AP) reduces the standby and talk time of the handset. High speaker or ring tone volumes, a key and display illumination that is switched on

frequently as well as an activated vibration alarm are also decisive characteristics shortening the standby and talk times. Another factor reducing the talk time is a low RTP package length that is received by the other party.

Reach

WLAN handsets have a lower reach than firmly installed WLAN connections in a PC that are exclusively designed for data traffic. This is due to the fact that in the data traffic, more package losses can be tolerated than in voice operation. Thus note that a safe voice operation starts at a field strength of approximately – 70 dBm to the AP. You can check the field strength to the APs in the site survey display (see there). Causes for low reaches may be reinforced concrete walls, microwave devices, obstacles, floor heatings, etc.

PIN protection

As in certain menus, wrong entries may cause failures of your telephone system, different system settings are protected by means of a PIN. In the delivery state, the PIN is set to “22222”. Change the PIN if necessary.

MEM card

The Aastra Phone 312 is equipped with a memory card (MEM card). The local settings of the device (among others a local telephone book with 100 entries) and the device identification (MAC address) are saved on the MEM card. It is therefore possible to have this data available on another device when devices are exchanged (by putting the MEM card into the new device), enabling you to call immediately (without having to register again). The MEM card is inserted into the battery compartment underneath the battery. For safety, an extra battery compartment locking device is installed.

In some models, the MEM card is already installed. If the MEM card is supplied separately, you must insert it into the battery compartment underneath the battery. Please read the section below (Installation) to find out how to equip the Aastra phone 312 with the MEM card.

Headset connection

The handset has a 2.5 mm catch socket for the connection of a headset. Only the headset offered as an accessory from Aastra can be used in order to maintain the electric values.

Installation

Unpacking and installing the phone

Unpacking

The packaging contains:

• Aastra Phone 312 handset

• Charging point

• Mains adapter plug (100 - 240V/50 – 60 Hz) with connecting cable (3 m)

• One battery (stuck into the battery cover)

• MEM card (installed or separate depending on the model)

• Belt clip

• Instruction manual (abridged version)

Installing the charging point

Your phone is produced for normal use conditions. Furniture today is coated with a highly-visible variety of varnishes and plastics and treated with different varnish servicing products. It cannot be ruled out that some of these products will contain components, which corrode and soften the plastic feet of the charging point. Device feet, which have been altered in this way by foreign products, could leave unpleasant marks on the surface of the furniture.

For obvious reasons, the manufacturer cannot be held responsible for this type of damage. Therefore please use a non-slip mat for your charging point, particularly when it is installed on new furniture, or furniture which has been freshly treated with varnish servicing products.

Note

• Please observe the following: The AC connection should be within the reach of the cable supplied.

• Please also ensure that the charging point is not installed in the opening area of doors or windows. This could lead to damage.

Installation

Putting the charging point into operation

In order to be able to put your phone into operation, you need to plug in the mains cable for the charging point.

Safety instruction

Only use the intended mains adapter plug with type designation ID no. Europe 4515303, U.S./Canada 4516883 for the charging point.

Plug the mains cable plug into the socket on the charging station, and then plug the mains adapter plug into a mains socket.

Note

If the mains adapter plus has not been plugged in, or if there has been a power failure, your charging point will not work. A handset, which is in the charging point without any electricity supply, remains switched on and the battery will run down during standby time.

Precautions when handling the battery

It is imperative that you read the safety precautions before you use the battery for the first time. Ensure that these safety precautions and all other operating instructions remain available for future reference.

This device contains a Li-Ion battery pack. Not complying with any of the following regulations when using the battery will lead to the danger of overheating, fire and explosion.

• The battery is firmly attached to the battery compartment cover. Never try to remove the bat-

tery from the cover.

• Never use another charging station for your handset.

• Never try to use the battery to supply power for any device other than this handset.

• Never use or leave the battery near an open flame.

• Never put the battery into a microwave, throw it into a fire or subject it to intense heat in any

other form.

• Never carry or store the battery with electrically conductive articles (necklaces, leads etc.)

• Never try to dismantle the battery, or modify it in any way, and never subject it to strong blows.

• Never submerge the battery in fresh or salt water.

• Never use or store the battery in direct sunlight, in a vehicle parked in the blazing sun or in any

other location where there are high temperatures.

• If you ever notice discharge of liquid, an unusual smell, heat development, coloring, deforma-

tion or any other abnormal condition while you are using, charging or storing the battery, remove the battery from the handset immediately and keep it away from open flames.

• The battery fluid could damage your sight. If you accidentally get battery fluid in your eyes,

wash them out immediately with clean tap water and then seek medical attention.

• If the battery is used by children, make sure that a responsible adult tells the children about the

precautions and the correct handling instructions, and ensure that the children handle the battery correctly.

• If battery fluid accidentally gets on your clothes or skin, wash the affected area immediately

with clean tap water. Extended contact with the battery fluid can cause skin irritation.

Precautions during use

• The battery is only designed for use with this handset.

• Only use the charging point supplied to charge the battery.

• New batteries are not charged up. Therefore you must charge the battery before using it for the

first time.

• The use of the battery in a cold environment can shorten the expected battery life of a fully

loaded battery. Charge the battery in a place where the temperature is in the region of 10°C to 35°C. Charging in a place outside of this temperature area can lead to charging time being longer than normal, or could even lead to failure of the charging process.

• A very limited battery life after full charging indicates that the operational life of the battery has

expired. Replace the battery (complete with the battery compartment cover) with a new one.

• Never wipe the battery with thinners, petroleum ether, alcohol or other liquid products, or with

chemically treated wipes. This can lead to deformation of the battery, and to operational failure.

Initial operation

Charge the battery for approx. 4 to 6 hours before using your handset for the first time. The protective measure serves to extend the operational life of the battery. Maximum battery power will first be reached after three to five cycles of charging and running down. Regularly place the handset on the charging point to achieve optimum battery charging.

Your handset will only be ready for use after the battery has been charged for the first time. Only then can calls be received and/or made from this handset.

Installation

Charging and use times

Charging time: (empty battery) 4 - 6 hours to full capacity. Talk time: Up to 5 hours (when fully charged). Standby time: Up to 50 hours (when fully charged).

Inserting the battery

The battery is firmly attached to the battery compartment cover of the handset. To start operation, insert the battery as shown in the following sketch.

Inserting the battery

After inserting the MEM card (see next page), if not already inserted: Set the cover at a slight angle (1) and click it down (2) until it is firmly locked into place.

Removing the battery

To release the battery cover, take a suitable pointed object (e.g. biro) and press it into the hole at the base of the handset (1). At the same time, lift the cover upwards as shown in the sketch (2).

Note

Switch the handset off before you remove the battery, otherwise data could be lost.

Installation

Inserting the MEM card

If the MEM card is supplied separately, you will need to insert this into the battery compartment.

Safety instruction

The MEM card must be handled with great care. The contacts must be free from dust, moisture, grease etc. Do not store the MEM card in warm areas (e.g. with direct exposure to sunlight). Do not bend the MEM card, this could destroy the contacts.

• First press the MEM card out of the larger frame using your finger.

• Push the MEM card under the metal clip (gray in the diagram) with the contact surfaces on the bottom and the slanted edge to the back. Ensure that the MEM card is inserted far enough. If in the correct position it will lie flat in the cavity and will be secured against slipping by the two raised sections in the casing. Never touch the shiny gold contact. Static discharge can lead to device defects.

Removing the MEM card

You must only remove the MEM card if you want to give the handset to someone else, or if you need the MEM card for a new handset.

• After detaching the battery cover: Insert a pointed object (e.g. an unbent paper clip) into the back end of the slot in the metal clip and push the MEM card under this cover. Ensure that you do not touch the contacts, either underneath the metal clip or on the MEM card.

Installation

Battery: Battery status

The battery status is shown on the display. They mean:

Battery status 81 - 100 %

Battery status 61 - 80 % Battery status 41 - 60 % Battery status 21 - 40 % Battery status below 20%

(Frame flashes) Battery almost empty, warning signal is sounded.

• When the handset is in the charging point, the flashing and/or illuminated segments show the charging process and/or the battery status (as long as the display illumination is switched on).

• If the handset is placed in the charging point with a fully discharged battery, no display will be shown until a specific battery status has been reached. This process can take a few minutes and is not a fault.

• Even if the handset is switched off, the battery will slowly run down.

Battery warning

When the battery capacity has almost been used up, the battery symbol in the display will flash and you will hear 3 short “beeps” every minute as an acoustic warning (can be switched off in the menu “Audio” > “Signal tones”). If you are in the middle of a conversation, there will be up to 5 minutes talk time left before the handset switches off.

Installation

Attaching/removing the belt clip

Push the adapter clip over the reverse side of the handset until the clip locks into place in the side openings. To remove the belt clip, pull the clips apart slightly.

Logging on the handset

Some preparations and programming are necessary to be able to integrate your handset into an existing wireless network (WLAN) and to register it on an access point (AP). You will find a detailed description of the corresponding steps in the chapter “WLAN: Registering a handset” starting on page 47. You can save five so-called “profiles” on your handset. These profiles contain the accounts of five different WLAN configurations. When changing from one WLAN to another you are therefore able to make calls within a very short period of time by selecting the corresponding profile. For further information on the profiles see menu “System > Network > Profiles” on page 51.

WLAN: Registering a handset

Setting up a WLAN profile

You can store the data needed for up to five different WLAN networks in your handset. Each set of data is saved in a

profile. When changing to another network you only need to activate the corre-

sponding network to be able to connect.

There are two ways to set up a profile: You can either carry out the selection using “Site survey”, or you can enter the configuration manually. Selection via “Site survey” is preferable when you are in the transmission range of the network that is to be established. Using this system will mean that some of the necessary entries are already adopted automatically.

Selection via Site survey

This process uses the data from the currently selected access points (AP) and a guideline for a new network profile. The handset attempts to enter the corresponding values. Check and correct these entries, e.g. the region (Regulatory Domain) or the WEP/WPA code, as these cannot be transmitted automatically. You will find advice on the entries in the parameter overview in “Manual configuration” (see page

48). Please also make yourself familiar with the data with which you have set up the WLAN.

Press .

Select and confirm using .

Select an AP of the network that is to be established. The SSID of the network is shown in the lower part of the display, this can be used to identify the network. You can find the meanings of the displays in the site survey window on page 57. If necessary, use the filter function (see note on page 57).

Press .

Select and confirm with . Enter the administrator PIN (“22222” by default). The entry mask for the network profile is opened. This will already be partially filled in. Check and, if necessary, supplement the entries. You will find advice on making the entry on page 51.

you must enter it again. In the AP, always set the first WEP key as default value and also use it in the device settings.

Power save mode : Using this setting, you can influence which WLAN power saving mode will be

used during the voice connections. In most cases the Auto selection should find the suitable setting. Not every AP supports all power saving modes. In some configurations, the Aastra Phone 312 will not be able to automatically detect the best power saving mode to be used in a reliable way. In these cases it may be useful to manually set another mode. Using the left softkey select . . .

Auto: In this setting, the device tries to use U-APSD if the AP signals that it will support this.

If the AP does not support U-APSD, the Aastra Phone 312 will use asynchronous PS-Poll. Whether U-APSD is supported or not can be determined in the site survey mode. If serious interruptions in the voice connection occur quite frequently, you should use another power saving mode or no such mode at all.

U-APSD: Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery is defined in the 802.11e standard.

This mode combines the longest battery life-span with highest sound quality. If this mode is selected in the WLAN profile, however not supported by the AP, the Aastra Phone 312 will not use a power saving mode.

Async. PS-Poll: This mode uses the PS-Poll packages defined in 802.11 in order to request

voice packages from the AP. In contrast to the standard, the PS-Poll packages are not only used after the Beacons but asynchronously to them. In this way, one almost reaches the battery life-span of U-APSD with identical sound quality. Not all APs support this mode. If serious interruptions in the voice connection occur quite frequently, you should use another power saving mode or no such mode at all.

802.11 PS-Poll: This mechanism has been defined in the original 802.11 standard. It involves

the material disadvantage that a large part of the packages is delayed by the duration of the Beacon interval. This impairs the sound quality. Yet, this mode may be useful if the AP does not support any other power saving mode, but you, nevertheless, require long talk times.

None (power saving mode)

No power saving mode is used. The battery life-span for voice connections is thus at least halved. This mode can be used if the AP is not compatible with any other power saving mode. In contrast to the other settings, this setting also deactivates the search for access points in the background as this search also depends on a power saving mode. Thus, the handover behaviour is deteriorated.

IP address from: Choose the desired option from those offered in the list using the left softkey .

Press the arrow key in order to access other entries. If you select the setting “static” instead of “per DHCP”, you will have to carry out the entries for the IP address, net mask, gateway and DNS server. Enter the necessary points for the separation of the blocks with the pound button.



NTP server: The NTP server can even be set manually when the IP address allocation

“per DHCP” is selected. The NTP server address set manually takes precedence over an NTP server address received from the DHCP server.

DSCP/ToS: Here, the value of the Type of Service Byte (RFC 791) can be determined in the IP header.

The value is entered in decimal format. This value is set in all outgoing SIP and voice packages. Alternatively, you can enter a Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP, RFC 2474). DiffServ uses the first 6 bits of the Type of Service Byte. Since DSCP and ToS use the same byte in the IP header, it only turns out by the utilisation in the network components whether the value will be interpreted as DSCP or ToS.

After the configuration

A newly established profile will automatically be selected as the active profile. If the network is in reception range, the field strength bars will be shown after a few seconds. If “per DHCP” is selected for the address allocation in the menu “System > Network > Profiles”, the field strength bars/“DHCP” will flash alternately.

If the binocular symbol can still be seen, the settings must be checked:

• Is the SSID right? Does the regulatory domain match the channel that the AP is transmitting on?

• Are the safety settings and the key right?

If the “binocular” and field strength bars are changing every few seconds, the network is being lost again and again:

• Is the destination field strength sufficient?

• Are the safety settings and the key right?

If the field strength bars/“DHCP” are flashing alternately:

• Is a DHCP server active?

• Is “System > Accounts > per DHCP” activated in the menu but the DHCP server is not transferring any accounts?

Solution: Supply the DHCP server with accounts or configure the accounts manually.

Advice on the DHCP server

It is possible to configure the handset so that in addition to the IP configuration, the telephony accounts (see chapter “Setting up a SIP server”, page 52) are also transmitted per DHCP. If a DHCP server only transfers an IP configuration without accounts, the handset will ignore the offer from the DHCP and wait for one with accounts. If this is the case, “DHCP” will flash permanently in the top left of the display. Then either the DHCP server must be configured so that it transfers access data (see chapter “Supported DHCP options”, page 65), or an access must be configured manually in the handset.

Setting up a SIP server

When making the entry, use the asterisk button to switch between different styles of writing: Letters, numbers or IP addresses. In the “IP address” mode you can enter a dot using the pound button.

Registrar: If the registrar is not the same as the SIP proxy, its address can be entered here. If this field

is empty, the SIP proxy will also be used as the registrar. Therefore in normal configuration, this field can be left empty (for entry format see SIP server example).

Outbound proxy: An outbound proxy can be configured here. This can be necessary, e.g. if the hand-

set cannot solve the DNS names itself as a result of its configuration. The outbound proxy will be entered as an IP address, or if necessary as an IP address:port. In most cases, this field can be left empty.

User ID: This is the SIP user ID. This is normally the call number of this device. However, it is also pos-

sible to have a user ID that is not just made up of numbers.

Authentication name: Is used for authentications. May remain blank if the system does not require

an authentication or if the authentication name is the same as the user ID.

SIP password: This is used for authentications. Can be left empty if the system does not require any

authentication. This password is used independently of the inquired realm, as it is not necessary to enter a realm.

Pref. codec: The voice codec, which should preferably be used. It influences the sound quality and

also the bandwidth used on the network. If there is no particular reason to make a change, it is recommended to use the preset G.711.

DTMF method: It is possible to set for a SIP profile, how DTMF (MFV) will be transmitted.

Using the left softkey select . . .

RFC 2833 (default setting): Transmits DTMF in the RTP stream according to RFC 2833 after

the package type negotiated via SIP/SDP. If the package type is not negotiated, “Inband” will be used automatically.

SIP-INFO: DTMF will be transmitted via SIP Info messages (no standard, however widely

accepted). This setting should be used if RFC 2833 is not supported.

RFC + INFO: Both transmission types are activated. Please note: Possibly, the other party

recognises numbers twice.



Example: 172.30.203.12

172.30.203.12:6200

Example: sip.aastra.com

sip.aastra.com:8200

172.30.203.12:8200

Setting up a SIP server

In-band: Like the sound, the DTMF tunes are also transmitted as RTP packages. Recognition

is usually only possible with Codec G711. This setting should only be selected if the other party does not support any other mechanism.

In-band + INFO: Both transmission types are activated. Please note: Possibly, the other party

recognises numbers twice.

Ping

A ping (small data packet) is used to measure the reliability of a network connection and the reaction time of a server. In using this, an ICMP echo request is sent from the handset to a remote host. As soon as the host answers, the handset calculates the time elapsed in milliseconds. It will also be determined if data packages have been lost.

Whilst ping is running, the energy saving mode in the handset will be deactivated. This will facilitate shorter package round-trip times. In this time a ping can also be carried out on the device from a remote processor. If the device is in the idle state, external ICMP echo requests will first be answered after several 100 ms.

Traceroute

The traceroute sends ICMP echo requests with increasing TTL (time to live) to one processor. This can be used to determine the presence of routers which are traversed on the way to the target address. The round-trip time between sending a request and the receipt of a response at each of these routers is also measured. Three requests are sent to each node (hop) in the network.

and no address has yet been assigned.

Gateway: IP address of the default gateway, “-” if none has been configured and/or has not been

assigned by DHCP.

MAC: Own MAC address.

SSID: If there is a connection to the WLAN, the corresponding SSID is displayed here.

BSSID: MAC address of the AP that the device is currently associated with. “-” if there is no associa-

tion, i.e. no connection to the WLAN.

RSSI history: In the diagram the progression of the destination field strength of the currently active

AP over the last few minutes is displayed. The perpendicular axis shows the field strength in dBm, the horizontal axis shows the time. On the right-hand side the current field strength is displayed, older field strengths are further to the left. The green area of the diagram marks field strengths, which are suitable for telephony. Those in the red area will be subject to restrictions (interference, interruptions). Using the softkey, the scale of the time axis can be changed between approx. 30 minutes and approx. 5 minutes.

Info (on the SIP server)

The status of registration to the SIP server is displayed. If the handset is registered, the time until the expiry of this registration is displayed. Shortly before the expiry a new registration will be carried out automatically. If no registration was possible, the most recent SIP error code will be displayed.

The following codes are used for frequently occurring errors:

Status code 0: There is no SIP signalization error; rather it is highly likely that there is a problem with

the network. This can be the case when e.g. the SIP server was not attainable or has not responded.

Status code 404 Not Found: The user ID is unfamiliar to the registrar.

Status code 401 Unauthorized: There was an error in authentication. An incorrect SIP password

could be the cause.

Questions and answers

Net traffic in idle state

Why are the values from my PC provided by “Ping” so poor?

If the device is in idle state, the network capacity is reduced as far as possible. If in this state, “Ping” packages (ICMP Echo Requests) are sent to the Aastra Phone 312 from the outside, the answers often take more than one hundred milliseconds. The device will automatically adjust the network activity depending on the state. If, for example, the “Ping” tool is used from the telephone, it aborts the WLAN idle state. Then, Pings from the outside will be answered immediately.

Operation behind a firewall or a DSL router

Why do I have problems behind my DSL router?

The Aastra Phone 312 has been designed for the use in local company networks. Currently, no mechanisms for bypassing NAT routers and firewalls are installed (e.g. STUN). The functionality behind such devices can thus not be guaranteed.

What is the difference between user name, user ID and authentication name?

The user name in the telephone options is used as display name for SIP. This is the one that is shown as name at the party receiving the call (if applicable).

The user ID from the SIP profile often corresponds to the telephone number. In a SIP URI, this is the part in front of the ‘@’. If no separate authentication name is set-up, the user ID is still used for the authentication if the server requests this.

It is possible to set an authentication name (auth. name) if it is different from the user ID. There are, for example, installations, in which the user ID corresponds to the telephone number, while the authentication name is an abbreviation of the real name, e.g. "JPublic".
