Model 480i SIP Admin Guide
Methods of Installation
The Þrmware set up and installation
for the 480i can be done through the
Options List available directly from
the phone or through the
Web Client
480i is initialized for the Þrst time,
DHCP is enabled by default. The
DHCP server passes information to
the 480i so that it can conÞgure itself
for subsequent IP PBX addresses
and normal runtime operations.
The following considerations must
be made before connecting the 480i
phone to the network:
• If you are planning on using
Dynamic IP addresses, make sure
a DHCP server is running on
your network.
• If you are not planning on using
Dynamic IP addresses, refer to
the section “
IP Phone
IP address manually.
• Make sure a TFTP server is set up
on your network and can accept
connections anonymously.
• Every PBX system that interacts
with the 480i phones requires
adherence to the SIP Standard.
To Þnd out how to hook up the
cabling to your 480i phone, please

.
Aastra 480i
480i IP Phone Set up
When the 480i is Þrst plugged in
or reset it will automatically
download any Þrmware updates
for the phone. The binary and
conÞguration Þles that are required
for the 480i are: “Þrmware.st”,
“aastra.cfg” and “<mac>.cfg”. The
settings of the 480i phone, as well
as the softkeys and the line keys,
can be conÞgured through the
conÞguration Þles. Please refer to
Appendix A for details on the
parameters that can be set for the
480i phone. Please refer to Appendix
B for sample conÞguration Þles
with all the basic parameters that
need to be set in order to register the
IP phone at the PBX.
The following steps illustrate a
typical 480i phone setup:
1. If DHCP is disabled, manually
enter the TFTP server’s IP
address. For details on how to
set the TFTP server setting for the
480i, please refer to the section
“
ConÞguring the 480i IP Phone ”.
2. Copy the Þrmware Þle
“Þrmware.st” to the root directory
of the TFTP server. This Þrmware
Þle is downloaded only when it
is different than the one the phone
is currently using.
3. Copy the Aastra conÞguration
Þle “aastra.cfg” and “<mac>.cfg”
Þle to the root directory of the
TFTP server.
Note: <mac> represents the actual MAC
address of your phone which must
be input ie 00085D030996.cfg
