IP Phone Models
Description
The IP Phone Models 53i, 55i, 57i, and 57i CT 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 57i 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..

and 57i CT IP phones.
Overview
536EM Expansion Module
for 55i, 57i, and 57i CT
The 536EM module adds 36 additional softkeys to the IP phone models 55i, 57i,
and 57i CT. The 536EM provides paper labels for each softkey. Up to 3 modules
can be piggy-backed to provide up to 108 additional softkeys for the phone.
The 560EM module adds 60 additional softekeys to the IP phone models 57i and
57i CT (using the 3 function keys on the bottom right of the unit). The 560EM
module provides an LCD display for display softkey labels. Up to 3 modules can
be piggy-backed to provide up to 180 additional softkeys for the phone.

Firmware Installation Information
Firmware Installation Information
Description
The firmware setup and installation for the IP phone can be done using any of the
following:
Overview
• 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.
• 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.
1-4 41-001160-00, Rev 01 Release 2.0
Overview
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.
• 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)
— HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer)
Note: If you set TFTP, the configuration server must be able to accept
connections anonymously.
Overview
• A 802.3af Ethernet/Fast Ethernet LAN
• Category 5/5e straight through cabling
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) inline power injector (optional accessory –
necessary only if your network provides no inline power and if you do not use
the IP Phone’s power adapter).
• Power adapter (included for models 53i, 55i, and 57i, and 57i CT).
• Service provider must support 55i SIP IP phone.

IP Phone Administrator Guide
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
Overview
Reference
To set the protocol for your configuration server, see Chapter 4, the section,
“Configuring the Configuration Server Protocol” on page 4-13.
For setting up your configuration server, see Appendix B, “Configuration Server
Setup.”

Overview
Firmware and Configuration Files
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
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.

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
Overview
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.
Configuration Methods
You can use the following to setup and configure the IP phone:
• IP phone UI
•Aastra Web UI
• Configuration files
Model 53i has 6 softkeys available for programming. Models 55i, 57i, and 57i CT
have 12 softkeys available for programming (programmable up to 20 functions).
