1. Features

The Aastra 800 communications system is a PC software for voice communication via VoIP. Using VoIP (“Voice over Internet Protocol”), telephony connections can be conducted via intranet and internet data lines. VoIP offers new applications and in many cases represents a distinct cost advantage.
The Aastra 800 communications system is installed and run under the Windows operating system. The software combination can be operated using standard PC hardware. After set-up, the Aastra 800 communications system provides compre­hensive communication and application possibilities which fulfill both usual as well as advanced expectations with regard to today's voice communication.
Due to the high performance of today's PC hardware, you do not need to pur­chase, install and maintain specialized hardware systems for voice communication such as telephone systems (PABX) nor special telephone lines. You can also make full use of the usual features of such communications systems. Furthermore, you can use additional options such as VoIP networking with distant communications systems or the integration with program systems which integrate VoIP for voice communication.
The following communication applications are available:
Telephony with VoIP system telephones, SIP system telephones, standard SIP
telephones or software telephones
Telephony with DECT terminals or with DECT-GAP standard telephones via
DECT over IP base stations
External internet telephony and telephony connections on the conventional
telephone network (PSTN) via SIP providers
The PC computer that the Aastra 800 communications system is installed on is usually integrated with the existing network (LAN). The configuration and pro­gramming of the Aastra 800 communications system is done via a web browser (web console) that can be operated both from the same PC and from a PC hooked up via LAN. All telephony functions and the functions of the web console can be used at all workstation computers on the LAN network. VoIP integration and con­nection to an existing e-mail system are available.

Features
SIP Trunk Lines
The Aastra 800 communications system offers external SIP connections as “SIP trunk lines”. Alongside several SIP individual connections with various SIP pro­viders, direct-dialable SIP-DDI connections for external telephony. Configuration and assignment of external SIP connections is done for telephony users in a com­pletely transparent manner. This facilitates a smooth introduction to using inex­pensive internet telephony.
Networking
For meeting rising demands, the Aastra 800 communications system can be net­worked with other communications systems via internet connections (“Q.SIG-IP”). This enables you to connect distant locations and branches into a single, large telephony network. With up to five virtual lines, the number of simultaneous con­nections possible between two communications systems is only limited by the bandwidth of the internet connection. Via the Q.SIG IP networking, the Aastra 800 communications system can serve as a subsystem or as a DECT server, for example. Networking is described in the chapter entitled PBX Networking starting on page 92.
DECT over IP

The Aastra 800 communications system supports the set-up of a DECT network for mobile office communication. To do so, you use the DECT networking via VoIP, DECT over IP. Hooking up DECT over IP base stations is done via network lines. For larger offices, multiple DECT base stations increase wireless network coverage and provide a transparent handover between the base stations, during an ongoing telephony connection as well.
Handsets as system terminals with all the system telephony features are available for DECT telephony and handsets using GAP and CAP standards are also sup­ported. The handover between the RFPs also functions with handsets using the GAP standard.
Further Telephony Features
With the Aastra 800 communications system, you can use CTI applications (Com­puter Telephony Integration). The TAPI (Telephony Application Programming Interface) and CSTA (Services for Computer Supported Telecommunications Appli­cations) standards are supported to integrate CTI applications.
The Aastra 800 communications system supports the usage of a browser-based CTI application, connection to external CTI and CSTA applications, e-mail inte­gration, VoIP networking as well as other Aastra 800 communications systems and other Q.SIG-IP capable communications systems. The Aastra 800 communications

Features
system also features browser-based CTI application, the OpenCTI 50. Users can access and use the telephone functions on their PC via the OpenCTI 50.
Furthermore, additional program packages can be activated and operated which provide extended and convenient telephony functions. These include, e.g. the “OpenVoice” and “OpenAttendant” digital voice memory and voice information systems.
You can optimize telephone communication using the team functions and call­queuing function.
The separately licensable “OpenCount” web application enables you to record, store and analyze telephony connections using configurable filters. You will find more information on this topic in the Online Help of the web console.

Factory Settings on Delivery Telephony Basic Settings

2. Factory Settings on Delivery

The following basic settings and features are active after you have installed the Aastra 800 communications system. We recommend that you configure the Aastra 800 communications system to suit your individual requirements before using it (see Configuration starting on page 49).
2.1 Telephony Basic Settings
There are no pre-configured telephony terminals.
Aastra 800 is configured ready for use in Germany.
An inactive SIP trunk with the name “SIP” is configured. This SIP trunk is bound
to the “External trunk” route using the line seizure code “0”.
All newly configured terminals ring if there are incoming external calls.
The password for the “Administrator” user is empty.
The system PIN is set at “0000”.
2.2 Authorisations
The allocation of authorities regulates which functions terminals on Aastra 800 can use. These authorities are configured for so-called user groups, to which users and their terminals are then assigned.
Three user groups are preset: “Administrators”, “Standard” and “Guests”. “Adminis­trators” can access all functions in Aastra 800 and have unlimited configuration rights. Users in the “Guests” group can not configure Aastra 800, may not make any external calls and can only use a limited range of Aastra 800 terminal func­tions. The “Standard” user group is well suited as a starting point for creating user groups for normal users of the system (e. g. the staff members of a company) because of its default settings.

2.3 Internet Basic Settings
The Aastra 800 communications system does not have any own network settings. The settings of the PC that the Aastra 800 communications system is installed on are the ones considered valid.
You can open the web console from the PC where the Aastra 800 communica-
tions system is running (“http://localhost/”). Moreover, you can open the web console via the LAN connection from another PC.
Multiple e-mail account queries can be set up for every user. Every user with a
system terminal can be automatically informed about incoming e-mails with this function. Subject and sender of the e-mail will be displayed. The e-mail remains on the e-mail-server where it can be queried with a standard e-mail program.
Please note: A Windows PC normally has more than one LAN connection.
For a correct function you need to select the desired LAN connection in the Configurator under Network: LAN. Se­lect an entry which shows the desired IP address and a MAC address. Confirm your selection with Change.

Installation Safety Precautions

3. Installation

3.1 Safety Precautions
Please note: The Aastra 800 may be installed and operated by qualified
personnel only.
Aastra 800 software is installed on a standard PC. Use a shielded Ethernet cable (STP cable, Shielded Twisted Pair cable) to connect this PC to a local network (LAN, Local Area Network).
Ensure that all cables of terminals operated on the Aastra 800 are laid in such a way that nobody can walk on or trip over them.
Outside cables and terminals may only be installed by qualified specialists observing the appropriate safety measures.
Repairs to the terminals and all accessories must be carried out by accredited spe­cialists. Inappropriate repairs may damage them and render any warranty claims invalid.
Keep the packaging of terminals and accessories out of reach of children!
Note: Please observe the safety precautions in the user guides of the operated terminals and the PC on which the Aastra 800 is installed.
3.2 System Prerequisites
3.2.1 Standard PC
You require a standard PC with a Windows XP SP2 (32 bit) operating system for the Aastra 800 communications system. Other types of Windows operating systems, such as the 64-bit systems, Windows Vista, Linux/Wine or using a virtualization product are not permissible for the safe ongoing operation of the Aastra 800 com­munications system.
Furthermore, for the Aastra 800 communications system, you should use a sep­arate PC (a “server computer”) reserved for this purpose only. This ensures that the
16
Installation System Prerequisites
response time of the Aastra 800 communications system is not impaired by other programs or server processes running simultaneously. Usually, the keyboard and monitor hooked up to the server computer are protected against unauthorized access and are only available for administrative purposes.
Furthermore, standard PC systems are possibly more likely to be optimized for more obvious features while information on system failure dependability and pos­sible length of operation are not provided. There are system components available for purchase specialized towards increasing reliability of server operation. Using such system components is recommended.
3.2.2 Capacity Characteristics
The Aastra 800 communications system is based on system software that has been used reliably for years for hardware-based communications systems (PABX). These specialized devices generally provide less CPU capacity, less RAM memory and less hard-drive space than standard up-to-date PCs available in stores. However, standard store PC systems do not have specialized hardware components which have to be taken over by the PC's CPU for certain communication applications. The CPU will thus have to offer sufficient performance capacity.
One example: With the normal VoIP system telephony, the system terminals com­municate with each other directly. The Aastra 800 communications system is only involved in switching the connection. This does not require much CPU capacity. For a conference call, the voice data of all conference users have to be processed by the CPU. This requires a substantially higher amount of CPU capacity.
3.2.3 Suggested PC Systems
You do not require any special PC hardware equipment for the Aastra 800 commu­nications system. The systems described in the following are orientated towards the specifications of Microsoft, the operating system producer:
Small System
suitable for up to 20 simultaneous calls
PC with 1 GHz 32 bit CPU, 1 GB RAM
4GB hard-drive
17
Installation System Prerequisites
100 Mbit Ethernet port, suitable switch and Cat5 lines
Microsoft Windows XP operating system with SP 2 (Professional Edition)
Large System
suitable for 20 simultaneous calls and more
PC with 3 GHz 32 bit-dual-core CPU, 1GB RAM
20 GB SDD (Solid State Drive)
1000 Mbit Ethernet port, suitable switch and Cat6 lines
Microsoft Windows XP operating system with SP 2 (Professional Edition)
suitable emergency power supply optional
suitable climate control in server room optional
a switch with PoE, QoS and VLAN capability optional
Some hardware components take up even during operation substantial CPU capacity or impair the response capacity of the PC system in case of error. Be sure you do not use so-called WinModems, 3-D game graphic cards with poor quality drivers, TV cards, error-prone removable media (CDs/DVD-ROMs, CD/DVD burners) or other similar items.
3.2.4 LAN and Internet
The PC system running the Aastra 800 communications system needs to be con­nected to a local area network (LAN). While different LAN topologies exist, a LAN structured cabling and a central switch device (“star topology”) is recommended for use with VoIP. For VoIP, the LAN should be optimized for low latency packet transfer times, i.e. do not send VoIP data via unreliable or slow (< 100 Mbit/s) con­nections such as wireless links, multiple cascaded switches, or very long network cables. It is possible to optimize a LAN for VoIP usage, for example if only measured and calibrated cabling is used or by using VLANs to separate bulk data transfers from VoIP data streams.
18
Installation System Prerequisites
With the Aastra 800 communications system, external telephony connections are realized via VoIP as “SIP trunk lines”. The data rate necessary for an uncompressed SIP trunk slightly exceeds the data rate of a standard ISDN B-channel connection (64 kbit/s). For this reason, SIP trunk lines require a DSL broadband connection with a minimum data rate of 386/128 kbit/s. A DSL connection with the fastpath option enabled may help to increase the VoIP quality if you experience excessive echoes during telephony conversations. If you plan to use the same broadband connection for SIP trunks, Q.SIG-IP interconnections and standard internet data transfers concurrently, you may need a faster and QoS-enabled broadband con­nection. An enhanced DSL router, offering QoS (or “traffic shaping”) to prioritize VoIP data streams or VPN to secure Q.SIG-IP interconnections may be required also.
3.2.5 Configuration of Operating System
Configure the Windows operating system and after installation optimize it for usage with the Aastra 800 communications system. Please note the following items:
Use the NTFS file system only. NTFS is the only system where access protection
for Aastra 800 communications system files can be configured.
The Aastra 800 communications system generally uses the network configu-
ration managed by the Windows operating system. Configure the network card and the TCP/IP protocol stack in accordance with your LAN in the Windows Control Panel. Please note that the Aastra 800 communications system offers network services such as HTTP on port 80 and DHCP on port 67. Competing service programs cannot be executed on the same computer. Fur­thermore, you should configure a static IP address.
When you wish to use external SIP connections or external Q.SIG-IP connec-
tions, the server PC requires a direct internet connection. To establish RTP voice data connections, UDP connections on alternating ports from external sources must be available. This is the case if the server PC is directly connected to the internet, for example, via a connected DSL modem or another direct internet connection. In this case, you should protect the server PC via suitable firewall software. If you connect the server PC indirectly, for example, via a NAT router, the router product you use must be SIP/RTP capable. Inexpensive router products frequently do not offer this as they do not have a setting for the required “Full Cone NAT” or suitable “UDP/RTP Port Forwarding” settings.
19
Installation Installing the Software
The Windows operating system does not offer QoS or “Traffic Shaping” in the
entry-level installation. To make optimal usage of an asymmetrical DSL con­nection and to ensure telephony connection quality – with simultaneous up­and downloads, for example – you should be sure to use suitable router products. These products offer QoS/traffic shaping and support extensive con­figuration of internet traffic flow.
Depending on the performance capacity of the PC hardware it may be a good
idea to adjust the Windows performance options. Go to the Windows control panel and select the Performance and Maintenance category. Click on the System icon. The System Properties dialog opens. Select the Advanced tab. Under Performance click on the Settings button. The Performance Options dialog opens. In the Advanced tab activate the Adjust for best performance of: Background services option. Click on the Virtual memory: Change button and review the settings for the virtual memory paging file. Please note the information provided in the Virtual Memory dialog.
3.3 Installing the Software
Provided, that the above requirements are met, the installation of the Aastra 800 software is straightforward. You simply start the setup program and follow the steps of the installation wizard:
1. Start Windows Explorer. Double click the “Aastra800_Setup.exe” executable
file.
Note, that you need to be logged in as user with administrator rights to install the Aastra 800 software.
2. Select the language for the installation wizard and confirm with OK. Click on
the Next button to proceed to the next step of the wizard.
20
Installation Installing the Software
Read the license agreement and accept the terms by activating the respective option in order to proceed.
3. The next wizard steps allows you to disable the creation of a desktop icon, to change the default program installation path, or to disable the automatic startup of the Aastra 800. In standard cases you should accept the defaults.
21
Installation Installing the Software
Confirm the last wizard step with Install to start the Aastra 800 software instal­lation.
4. During the software installation, the setup program checks your system config­uration, shows a message box and offers a report to notify you about potential problems.
5. It is likely, that your Windows system has additional DHCP enabled LAN con­nections and network adapters, which triggers the mentioned warning. Do not disable the Show more information option which displays the installation report if you click the Finish button. To redisplay the report later on, open the “C:\Program Files\Aastra\Aastra_800\finish.html” in a web browser.
Click the “Setup logfile” link to check for potential issues found during the installation. Pay attention to text displayed on a red background (see Setup Troubleshooting starting on page 23 below).
22
Installation Setup Troubleshooting
3.4 Setup Troubleshooting
The following list has brief explanations about different setup logfile entries.
DHCP enabled: yes
If the listed network adapter/LAN connection should be used for running the Aastra 800 communications system, you need to switch it’s configuration to a static IP address (see Configuring a Fixed IP Address starting on page 24). You also need to select the LAN connection in the web console (see Selecting LAN Con- nection starting on page 33).
If the network adapter is unused and has another IP range than network adapter to be used for the Aastra 800 communications system, you may safely ignore this logfile message.
Note, that the same adapter may be listed more than once. This may be the case, if you have changed the network adapters hardware slot position. The former network adapter driver is still installed but hidden while the respective LAN con­nection has no assigned MAC address. These hidden network adapters can be ignored safely, too.
Virtual Environment: detected
The Aastra 800 communications system cannot run in virtual environment such as VmWare or VirtualPC. Install the Aastra 800 communications system on a real Windows PC.
Java Runtime Environment: too old
The installed Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is outdated. In order to run the Aastra 800 Monitor, visit http://www.java.com/ and install a newer version of the JRE. Detailed information on the Aastra 800 Monitor can be found in the chapter entitled Aastra 800 Monitor starting on page 36.
Concurrent Service
If the Aastra 800 communications system does not behave as expected – for example, the http://localhost/ link does not show the Aastra 800 web console – you may need to remove additional server software which is blocking the nec­essary TCP/IP ports (see Deactivating Competing Network Services starting on page 26). Note, that the setup program may not be able to detect a concurrent service.
23
Installation Licensing
3.5 Licensing
Operating the Aastra 800 communications system requires to purchase the nec­essary software license. The Aastra 800 provides basic licenses (see also the chapter entitled Technical Specifications starting on page 127) which cover basic features and are sufficient for many applications. If you need additional or enhanced features, you can purchase additional activation keys and activate them in the Configurator on the System: Licences page.
Note, that the serial number displayed on the System: Licences page is specific for your PC system. Entered activation keys are valid only for this serial number. You need new activation keys, if the serial number changes. Contact your dealer or the Aastra DeTeWe sales department for new activation keys if required.
3.6 LAN Integration
In order for VoIP telephony to function in a Local Area Network (LAN), the Aastra 800 communications system must be able to communicate with the VoIP devices hooked up to the LAN. To do so, the Aastra 800 communications system generally uses the network functions of the operating system used.
In an existing LAN, you usually already have the Internet Protocol (IP) for net­working computers in use. The installation and commissioning of the Aastra 800 communications system on a running Windows operating system networked with IP can thus be done quickly and with little complication. This chapter explains the technical details that are important for operating the Aastra 800 communications system.
3.6.1 Configuring a Fixed IP Address
The server computer where the Aastra 800 communications system will be installed and run requires a LAN connection with the IP protocol. The fixed IP address of the LAN connection must be set manually. The IP address you have to use for the Aastra 800 communications system should be coordinated with the network administrator in charge.
Do not configure a dynamic DHCP-assigned IP address for the LAN connection. When a IP address change is initiated via DHCP on occasion, for example, all ongoing VoIP connections will be interrupted without prior warning. You may pos­sibly have to even restart connected VoIP devices. During installation the instal-
24
Installation LAN Integration
lation program of the Aastra 800 communications system checks whether a fixed IP address has been configured and displays a corresponding message accord­ingly.
Check over and, if necessary change the configuration of the LAN connection. To do so, you must be logged on as a user with administrator rights.
1. Select the Network and Internet Connections category in the Windows control panel.
2. Open the Network Connections window.
3. Click on the desired local area connection with the right mouse button. Select the Properties command from the context menu.
4. Select the General tab in the properties dialog. Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) entry from the list of connection items. Click on the Properties
button.
Local Area Connection Properties: TCP/IP
5. Activate the Use the following IP address option. Enter the IP address for the Aastra 800 communications system. Enter the Subnet mask to be used in your LAN. Enter the IP address for the Internet access router under Default
gateway.
6. Activate the Use the following DNS server addresses option. Enter at least
the IP address for one DNS server.
25
Installation LAN Integration
7. Confirm your settings with OK.
Note: The settings for subnet mask, gateway and DNS server
are usually the same for all computers in a LAN. The IP ad­dress for each computer in a LAN must be different. Do not use any IP addresses for the Aastra 800 communications sys­tem that may also be assigned to other computers with DHCP. When you are operating a local DNS server in your LAN, you should link the IP address of the Aastra 800 com­munications system with a DNS name in order to facilitate convenient access to the Web interface of the Aastra 800 communications system.
Tip: You can find out anytime what the IP settings are that are ac-
tually being used by the Windows operating system using the “ipconfig” program. Select the All Programs: Accessories: Command Prompt command in the Windows start menu. Enter “ipconfig /all” and confirm with the enter key.
3.6.2 Deactivating Competing Network Services
The Aastra 800 communications system provides a range of network services.
For each of these services, the Aastra 800 communications system listens on a spe­cific TCP or UDP port number for incoming connections. The port numbers are predefined and cannot be changed by default. This means that, for example, the Web console of the Aastra 800 communications system can always be accessed from other computers at TCP port number 80.
No competing programs or services can be executed on the server computer that are allocated to the same port numbers. If you have, for example, installed the “WWW service” subcomponent for the “Internet information services”, instead of accessing the Web console, visit the main page of the WWW service. The sequence in which the services were started determines which of the competing services is reached.
26

Uninstall or deactivate services allocated to the following ports. Port numbers in current use are listed on the System Info: Network: Ports page in the Configu-
rator of the Web console.

Among the programs and components supplied for Windows XP/Professional, the only thing that may interfere with the functioning of the Aastra 800 communica­tions system is the “Internet information services” – if installed, of course. Change the predefined port numbers or deinstall the “Internet information services” com­ponents using the following steps. To do so, you must be logged on as a user with administrator rights.
1. Select Software category in the Windows control panel.
2. Click on the Add/Remove Windows Components menu button.
Control Panel: Add or Remove Programs: Deinstall IIS
3. Deactivate the Internet Information Services (IIS) list option in the Compo­nents list.
