IP Phone Models

Description

The IP Phone Models 480i, 480i CT, 9112i, and 9133i communicate over an IP network allowing you to receive and place calls in the same manner as a regular business telephone.
Overview
All phone models support the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). The 480i additionally supports the Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP). The 480i CT offers the base phone along with a cordless extension.
References
For more information about the features and installation requirements, see the SIP IP Phone Installation Guide for your specific model..

Firmware Installation Information

Firmware Installation Information

Description

The firmware setup and installation for the IP phone can be done using any of the following:
Phone keypad menu (Phone UI)
Aastra Web-based user interface (Aastra Web UI)
When the IP phone is initialized for the first time, DHCP is enabled by default. Depending on the type of configuration server setup you may have, the IP phone may download a firmware version automatically, or you may need to download it manually.

Installation Considerations

The following considerations must be made before connecting the IP phone to the network:
If you are planning on using dynamic IP addresses, make sure a DHCP server is enabled and running on your network.
Overview
If you are not planning on using dynamic IP addresses, see Chapter 4, the section, “Configuring Network Settings Manually” on page 4-7 for manually setting up an IP address.
To install the IP phone hardware and cabling, refer to the model-specific SIP IP Phone Installation Guide.

IP Phone Administrator Guide Firmware Installation Information

Installation Requirements

The following are general requirements for setting up and using your SIP IP phone:
A SIP-based IP PBX system or network installed and running with a number created for the new IP phone.
Adherence to SIP standard RFC 3261.
Overview
Access to a configuration server where you can store the firmware image and configuration files.
The IP phone must be configured for a specific type of protocol to use. TFTP is enabled by default. You can configure the following protocols on the IP phone:
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol)
FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer
Protocol)
Note: If you set TFTP, the configuration server must be able to accept
connections anonymously.
A 802.3 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet LAN
Category 5/5e straight through cabling
Power over Ethernet (PoE) power supply (optional accessory – necessary only if no inline power is provided on the network). (Not applicable to 9112i)
Power adapter (included for certain models of 9112i, 9133i, and 480i CT).

Overview
Firmware Installation Information

Configuration Server Requirement

A basic requirement for setting up the IP phone is to have a configuration server. The configuration server allows you to:
Store the firmware images that you need to download to your IP phone.
Stores configuration files for the IP phone
Stores the software when performing software upgrades to the IP phone
Reference
For setting up your configuration server as a TFTP server, see Appendix B,
“Configuration Server Setup.”

Firmware and Configuration Files

Description

When the IP phone is initialized for the first time, DHCP is enabled by default. Depending on the type of configuration server setup you may have, the IP phone may download a firmware version and configuration files automatically, or you
Overview
may need to download it manually.
Note: Automatic download is dependant on your configuration server
setup.
The firmware consists of a single file called:
<phone model>.st
The configuration files consist of two files called:
aastra.cfg
•<mac>.cfg
The following table provides the firmware for each Aastra IP phone model.
IP Phone Model
480i 480i.st
480i CT 480i Cordless.st
9112i 9112i.st
9133i 9133i.st

Overview
Firmware and Configuration Files

Configuration File Precedence

Aastra IP phones can accept two sources of configuration data:
The server configuration most recently downloaded/cached from the configuration server files, aastra.cfg/<mac>.cfg (or the aastra.tuz/<mac>.tuz encrypted equivalents).
Local configuration changes stored on the phone that were entered using either the IP phone UI or the Aastra Web UI
In the event of conflicting values set by the different methods, values are applied in the following sequence:
1. Default values hard-coded in the phone software
2. Values downloaded from the configuration server
3. Values stored locally on the phone
The last values to be applied to the phone configuration are the values that take effect.
For example, if a parameter’s value is set in the local configuration (via Aastra Web UI or IP phone UI) and the same value was also set differently in one of the <mac>.cfg/aastra.cfg files on the configuration server, the local configuration value is the value that takes effect because that is the last value applied to the configuration.
Overview

Configuration Methods

You can use the following to setup and configure the IP phone:
IP phone UI
•Aastra Web UI
Configuration files
Models 480i and 480i CT have 20 softkeys available to configure the IP phone. Model 9133i has 7 programmable keys. Model 9112i has 2 programmable keys.

For setting up and configuring the IP phone using either the IP phone UI, the Aastra Web UI, or the configuration files, see Chapter 4, “Configuring the IP
Phones.”
For information about the softkey and programmable key parameters, see Appendix A, the section, “Softkey/Programmable Key Parameters” on page A-93.

Installing the Firmware/Configuration Files

Overview
The following procedure describes how to install the firmware and configuration files.
Step Action
1 If DHCP is disabled, manually enter the configuration server’s IP address. For details on setting
DHCP, see Chapter 4, the section “DHCP” on page 4-4.
2 Copy the firmware file <phone model>.st to the root directory of the configuration server. The IP
phone accepts the new firmware file only if it is different from the firmware currently loaded on the IP phone.
Note: The <phone model> attribute is the IP phone model (i.e., 480i.st, 9133i.st)
3 Copy the Aastra configuration files (aastra.cfg and <mac>.cfg) to the root directory of the
configuration server.
Note: The <mac> attribute represents the actual MAC address of your phone. (i.e., 00085D030996.cfg).
4 Note: Restart tthe IP phone as described in the section, “How to Restart the IP Phone” on page .

Configuration Server Settings

The configuration server stores the firmware images, configuration files, and software when performing software upgrades to the IP phone. An administrator can configure the following parameters for the configuration server:
Download Protocol Protocol to use for downloading new versions of firmware and configuration files to the IP phone. Valid values are TFTP, FTP, and HTTP. Default is TFTP.
TFTP Server IP address or qualified domain name of the TFTP server. You can select a primary or alternate TFTP server and then assign an IP address or qualified domain name to your selection. Set this option if TFTP is the download protocol selected.
Note: For DHCP to automatically populate the IP address or domain
name for the TFTP server, your DHCP server must support Option 66. For more information, see Chapter 4, the section, “DHCP” on page 4-4.
FTP Server IP address or network host name of the FTP server. If required, you can also assign a user name and password for access to the FTP server. Set this option if FTP is the download protocol selected. If you enter a network host name, DNS must also be set.
Administrator Options
HTTP Server IP address of the HTTP server. You can also assign an HTTP path to the HTTP server. Set this option if HTTP is the download protocol selected.
Mode (not configurable via IP phone UI). Enables and disables the IP phone to be updated automatically (auto-resync) once a day at a specific time in a 24-hour period. Updating can be done to the configuration files only, the firmware only, or both. This feature works with TFTP, FTP, and HTTP servers. The auto update feature works with both encrypted and plain text configuration files.
Note: Any changes made using the Aastra Web UI or the IP phone UI are
not overwritten by an auto-resync update. Auto-resync affects the configuration files only. However, the settings in the Aastra Web UI take precedence over the IP phone UI and the configuration files.
41-001129-00 Rev 09, Release 1.4.1 3-21
Page 56
Time (24-hour) (Not configurable via IP phone UI). Sets the time of day in a 24-hour period for the IP phone to be automatically updated (auto-resync). This parameter works with TFTP, FTP, and HTTP servers.
Note: Auto-Resync adds up to 15 minutes random time to the configured
time. For example, if the auto resync time parameter is set to 02:00, the event takes place any time between 02:00 and 02:15.
XML Push Server List (not configurable via IP phone UI). The HTTP server that is pushing XML applications to the IP phone.
Reference
For more information about configuring the configuration server, see Chapter 4, the section, “Configuration Server Protocol” on page 4-10.

Firmware Update Features

The IP phone uses a TFTP, FTP, or HTTP server (depending on the protocol configured on the IP phone) to download configuration files and firmware.
You can download the firmware stored on the configuration server in one of three ways:
Manual firmware update using the Aastra Web UI (TFTP only).
Manual update of firmware and configuration files (by restarting the phone via the IP phone UI or the Aastra Web UI).
Automatic update of firmware, configuration files, or both at a specific time in a 24-hour period (via the Aastra Web UI or configuration files)

IP Phone Administrator Guide Basic Network Settings

Basic Network Settings

This section describes the basic network settings on the IP phone.

DHCP

The IP phone is capable of querying a DHCP server, allowing a network administrator a centralized and automated method of configuring various network parameters for the phone. If DHCP is enabled, the IP phone requests the following network information:
Subnet Mask
Gateway (i.e. router)
Domain Name Server (DNS)
Broadcast Address
Network Time Protocol Server
IP Address
TFTP Server Name
Configuring the IP Phones
Note: For DHCP to automatically populate the IP address or domain
name for the TFTP server, your DHCP server must support Option 66. Option 66 is responsible for forwarding the TFTP server IP address or domain name to the phone automatically. If your DHCP server does not support Option 66, you must manually enter the IP address or domain name for the TFTP server into your IP phone configuration.
The network administrator chooses which of these parameters (if any) are supplied to the IP phone by the DHCP server. The administrator must configure the phone manually to provide any required network parameters not supplied by the DHCP server.

Advanced Network Settings

Advanced Network Settings
You can set advanced network settings on the IP phone such as, Network Address Translation (NAT), Nortel NAT, Network Time Protocol (NTP) Time Servers, Virtual LAN (VLAN), and Quality of Service (QoS) using the Aastra Web UI or the configuration files.
Note: The available advanced network parameters via the IP phone UI
are NAT, Nortel NAT, VLAN, and QoS only.

Network Address Translation (NAT)

The protocols used by all IP phones do not interoperate completely with Network Address Translation (NAT). For the Aastra IP phones, specific configuration parameters allow the phone to operate while connected to a network device that enforces NAT. The following is a sample network using a NAT proxy and relevant IP phone configuration parameters.

IP Phone Administrator Guide Advanced Network Settings
Nortel Proxy/Registrar
The phone at IP address 10.10.10.10 is configured to register with the proxy at
63.251.195.10. Because it is a Nortel proxy, the configuration must additionally include the "sip nortel nat support" and "sip nortel nat timer" settings, telling the firmware to enhance the protocols with Nortel specific content.
Note: This IP phone uses RTP port 3000 (the default value) since an RTP
port was not explicitly configured.
SBC or ALG proxy/registrar
The phone at IP address 10.10.10.20 is configured to register with the proxy at
63.251.195.20. Because the proxy/registrar has session border control (SBC) or application layer gateway (ALG) functionality, no additional IP phone configuration is required.
Other proxy/registrars
The phone at IP address 10.10.10.30 is configured to register with the proxy at
63.251.195.30. Because this proxy/registrar is not a Nortel proxy and has no SBC or ALG functionality, the configuration must additionally include the "sip nat ip" and "sip nat port" settings that contain the public ip address of the NAT router and
Configuring the IP Phones

the port used for call signaling messages. This information is embedded in protocol messages to allow the proxy/registrar to reach the IP phone on the NAT router private network.
NAT router configuration
You must configure the NAT router to allow signaling or media packets containing the various UDP port values to flow between the private and public networks that are separated by the NAT router. In the sample network, the NAT router must not filter packets using ports 3000, 5060, 6060, 16420, and 16430.
Page 73
Configuring the IP Phones
Advanced Network Settings
Nortel Networks NAT
Nortel Networks provides a proprietary solution to support connectivity to their proxies from phones placed behind devices (such as routers or firewalls) that use NAT. Nortel uses the SIP ping request/reply between the Nortel proxy and the phone in order to keep the connection through the router or firewall active. A SIP Nortel NAT timer is the interval, in seconds (default is 60), that the phone sends SIP ping requests to the Nortel proxy.

Configuring Nortel NAT (optional)

You can configure Nortel NAT using the configuration files, the IP phone UI, or the Aastra Web UI.

Virtual LAN (optional)

Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a feature on the IP phone that allows for multiple logical Ethernet interfaces to send outgoing RTP packets over a single physical Ethernet as described in IEEE Std 802.3. On the IP phone, you configure a VLAN ID that associates with the physical Ethernet port.
By configuring specific VLAN parameters, the IP phones have the capability of adding and removing tags, and processing the ID and priority information contained within the tag.
Note: All latest VLAN functionality is backwards compatible with IP
Phone Releases 1.3 and 1.3.1.
VLAN on the IP phones is disabled by default. When you enable VLAN, the IP phone provides defaults for all VLAN parameters. If you choose to change these parameters, you can configure them using the configuration files, the IP Phone UI, or the Aastra Web UI.
The following sections describe the VLAN features you can configure on the IP phones.

Type of Service (ToS), Quality of Service (QoS), and DiffServ QoS

ToS is an octet as a field in the standard IP header. It is used to classify the traffic of the different QoSs.
QoS provides service differentiation between IP packets in the network. This service differentiation is noticeable during periods of network congestion (for example, in case of contention for resources) and results in different levels of network performance.
Port 0 is the Ethernet connected to the network. Port 1 is the Ethernet used for passthrough to a PC (port 1 is not available on 9112i).
Differentiated Service (DiffServ) QoS is class-based where some classes of traffic receive preferential handling over other traffic classes.
The Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value is stored in the first six bits of the ToS field. Each DSCP specifies a particular per-hop behavior that is applied to a packet.
The following parameters allow an administrator to configure ToS, QoS, and DiffServ QoS for VLAN:
tagging enabled

41-001129-00 Rev 09, Release 1.4.1 4-23
Page 80
IP Phone Administrator Guide Advanced Network Settings
Notes:
1. In order for the software to successfully maintain connectivity with a network using VLAN functionality, the IP phone reboots if you modify the "tagging enabled" (VLAN enable in the Web UI), "VLAN id", or "VLAN id port 1" parameters.
2. The "QoS eth port 0 priority" and "QoS eth port smp priority" parameters were applicable to software release 1.3.1 and earlier. They have no affect in software Release 1.4 and up.
3. When the Port 0 "VLAN id" and the Port 1 "VLAN id port 1" parameters have the same value, VLAN functionality is compatible with earlier IP phone software releases.
DSCP Range/VLAN Priority Mapping
DSCP bits in the ToS field of the IP header are set for RTP, RTCP, and SIP packets using either the default values or the values configured via the "tos sip", "tos rtp", and "tos rtcp" parameters.
When the VLAN global configuration parameter, "tagging enabled" is set to 1,
Configuring the IP Phones

VLAN priority for IP packets is mapped to the DSCP value instead of a single priority for all packets. An administrator can also configure VLAN priority for non-IP packets using the "priority non-ip" parameter.
Since the default DSCP settings for SIP, RTP, and RTCP are 24, 32, and 32 respectively, this results in corresponding default VLAN priorities of 3 for SIP, 4 for RTP, and 4 for RTCP (based on the settings in the table “DSCP Range/VLAN
Priority” on page 4-25).
You can change the default parameters by modifying just the DSCP values, just the VLAN priority values, or by modifying all values.
The following table shows the DSCP range/VLAN piority mapping.

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Settings

The IP phone uses the information in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) settings to register at the IP PBX.
The IP phone configuration defines network and user account parameters that apply globally to all SIP lines. Since not all SIP lines are necessarily hosted using the same IP-PBX/server or user account, additional sets of per-line parameters can also be defined for network and user account.
You configure and modify these parameters and associated values using the configuration files, the IP phone UI, or the Aastra Web UI. The Aastra Web UI and configuration file methods configure global and per-line SIP settings on the IP phone. The IP phone UI configures global SIP settings only.
The following tables identify the SIP global and per-line, authentication and network parameters on the IP phones.

Note: The "sip vmail" and "sip lineN vmail" parameters are configurable
using the configuration files only. To configure voicemail see Chapter 5, the section, “Voicemail (480i/480i CT only)” on page 5-84.
Specific sets of SIP parameters are inter-dependent with each other. To prevent conflicting parameter values from being applied, per-line values always take precedence over the corresponding set of global values.
For example, if a parameter value is configured for one of the per-line sets, all parameters from that set are applied and all parameters from the corresponding global section are ignored, even if some of the parameters within the global set are not defined in the per-line set.

SIP Precedence Example
The following example shows the SIP proxy feature and example schema for storage and parsing of the SIP configuration parameters.
The following SIP configuration is assumed:
# SIP network block
sip proxy ip: 10.30.11.154
sip proxy port: 5060
sip registrar ip: 10.44.122.37
sip registrar port: 4020
sip line3 proxy ip: siparator.vonage.com
sip line3 proxy port: 0
Line3 specifies per-line values for proxy IP address and proxy port, so the phone uses those parameter values for SIP calls made on that line. However, because those parameters are part of the SIP network block, the phone does not apply any of the global SIP network block parameters. So even though the global parameters configure a SIP registrar, Line3 on the phone ignores all global network block parameters. Since line3 does not contain a per-line SIP registrar entry, the phone does not use a registrar for that line.
Note: Global SIP parameters apply to all lines unless overridden by a
per-line configuration.

Backup Proxy/Registrar Support
The IP phones support a backup SIP proxy and backup SIP registrar feature. If the primary server is unavailable, the phone automatically swtiches to the backup server allowing the user's phone to remain in service.
How it Works
All SIP registration messages are sent to the primary registrar first. If the server is unavailable, then a new registration request is sent to the backup registrar. This also applies to registraion renewal messages, which try the primary server before the backup.
Similarly, any outgoing calls attempt to use the primary proxy first, then the backup if necessary. In addition, subscriptions for BLF, BLA, and explicit MWI can also use the backup proxy when the primary fails. Outgoing calls and the previously mentioned subscriptions behave the same as registrations, where the primary proxy is tried before the backup.
Configuring the IP Phones
You can configure the backup SIP proxy on a global or per-line basis via the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI.
SIP Server (SRV) Lookup
The SIP SRV Lookup feature allows you to configure the IP phone to perform a DNS server lookup on a SIP proxy, a SIP registrar, or a SIP outbound proxy.
The IP phone performs an SRV lookup when the IP address of the server is FQDN and the corresponding port is 0.
For example, if the phone is configured with sip proxy ip of "ana.aastra.com", and sip proxy port of "0", the SRV lookup may return multilple servers, based on the priorities if one is selected as primary and others are selected as secondary.
However, if the IP address is an FQDN and the corresponding server port is non-zero, then the phone performs a DNS "A" Name Query to resolve the FQDN into dot notation form.
If the IP address is a valid dot notation and the port is zero, then a default port 5060 is used.
41-001129-00 Rev 09, Release 1.4.1 4-41
