Usability Features

Dial Plan Support for Secondary Dial Tone

The IP phones now support a feature that allows the user to dial a predefined dial string, obtain a dial tone, and continue dialing. A User or Administrator can configure this using the existing Dial Plan feature on the phone.

You can enter a new character string in the dial plan that allows you to configure the secondary dial tone. The character string is of the form ".;." , where the period indicates an arbitrary number of digits and the semicolon indicates that the phone is to present a dial tone after the previous dialed digit. For example, in the string:

"9;xxxxx"

the user dials “9” to get the outside line, listens for the dial tone, and continues to dial the applicable number. The “;” tells the phone to present a second dial tone after the previously dialed digit. “The “xxxxx” in the example tells the phone that a phone number is dialed after the secondary dial tone is audible.

You can enter the Secondary Dial Tone string in the Dial Plan using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI.

You use the following parameter in the configuration files to configure a secondary dial tone:

• sip dial plan

IP Phone Release Notes 2.2

Features in Release 2.2

Account-Based Do Not Disturb (DND) and Call Forward (CFWD)

In previous releases of the IP Phone, you could configure a DND key to set “do not disturb” on all the lines on the phone. Also in previous releases, you could configure CFWD on all lines (global settings) or on specific lines (local settings) on the phone.

In Release 2.2, the IP phones have a new DND and CFWD feature that allows an Administrator and User to configure “do not disturb” and “call forwarding” by account. You can set specific modes for the way you want the phone to handle DND and CFWD. The three modes you can set on the phone for these features are:

• Account

• Phone

• Custom.

The following paragraphs describe account-based DND and CFWD:

• DND Account-Based Configuration

• CFWD Account-Based Configuration

DND Account-Based Configuration

Previous to release 2.2, DND was configurable on the phone-side only on a global basis by configuring a DND key. Now an Administrator or User can configure DND on the phone-side by setting a mode for the phone to use (account, phone, or custom). Once the mode is set, you can use the IP Phone UI to use the DND feature.

Note: If there is only one account configured on the phone, then the

mode setting is ignored and the phone behaves as if the mode was set to “Phone”.

5i Series IP Phone Release Notes

Features in Release 2.2

The following describes the softkey behavior for each DND mode.

• Account - DND key toggles the account in focus on the IP Phone UI, to ON or OFF if DND enabled for that account.

• Phone - DND key toggles all accounts on the phone to ON or OFF.

• Custom - DND key displays custom screens on the IP Phone UI. User can select whether to enable/disable DND per account, enable DND on all accounts, or disable DND on all accounts.

The following table describes the softkey and Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) LEDs when you enable DND on the IP Phone.

You can configure the DND softkey and the DND mode (Account, Phone, Custom) using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI. Once you configure

DND, you can access the DND screen on the IP Phone UI.

Important Notes

• In the Aastra Web UI, the “Account Configuration” page replaces the previous “Call Forward Settings” page.

• In the IP Phone UI, the new DND key feature now has new menu screens.

• If you make changes to the configuration for DND via the IP Phone UI, you must refresh the Aastra Web UI screen to see the changes.

IP Phone Release Notes 2.2

Features in Release 2.2

CFWD Account-Based Configuration

Call Forward (CFWD) on the IP phone allows incoming calls to be forwarded to another destination.

Previous to Release 2.2, you could configure CFWD on all lines (global settings) or on specific lines (local settings) on the phone, using the IP Phone UI and the Aastra Web UI. You could configure call forwarding on the IP Phone UI on a global basis only using the Options Menu.

An Administrator or User can now configure CFWD on the phone-side by setting a mode for the phone to use (Account, Phone, or Custom). Once the mode is set, you can use the IP Phone UI to use the CFWD feature at Options->Call Forward or by pressing a configured Call Forward softkey/programmable key/extension module key.

The following describes the behavior for each CFWD mode.

• Account mode - The account mode allows you to configure CFWD on a per account basis. Pressing a configured CFWD key applies to the account in focus.

• Phone mode - The Phone mode allows you to set the same CFWD configuration for all accounts (All, Busy, and/or No Answer). When you configure the initial account, the phone applies the configuration to all other accounts. (In the Aastra Web UI, only the account you configured is enabled. All other accounts are grayed out but set to the same configuration.) Using the Aastra Web UI, if you make changes to that initial account, the changes apply to all accounts on the phone.

• Custom mode - The Custom mode allows you to configure CFWD for a specific account or all accounts. You can configure a specific mode (All, Busy, and/or No Answer) for each account independently or all accounts. On the 51 and 53i phones, you can set all accounts to ALL On or ALL Off. On the 55i, 57i, and 57i CT, you can set all accounts to All On, All Off, or copy the configuration for the account in focus to all other accounts using a CopytoAll softkey.

Note: If there is only one account configured on the phone, then the

mode setting is ignored and the phone behaves as if the mode was set to “Phone”.

5i Series IP Phone Release Notes

Features in Release 2.2

In previous releases, you could configure one phone number and then select the current mode (All, Off, Busy, No Answer, Busy No Answer). In Release 2.2, you can enable different call forwarding rules/modes independently (for example, you can set different phone numbers for Busy, All, and NoAns modes and then turn them on/off individually).

The following table describes the key and Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) LEDs when you enable CFWD on the IP Phone.

Key LED Behavior for All Modes

CFWD key LED RED if CFWD All, CFWD

Busy, or CFWD No Answer is enabled for the account in focus. CFWD key LED OFF if any CFWD mode is disabled.

MWI LED Behavior for All Modes

MWI LED ON if current account in focus has

CFWD ALL enabled. MWI LED OFF if CFWD All is disabled.

You can enable/disable CFWD and set a CFWD key using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI. You can set CFWD mode (Account, Phone, Custom) using the configuration files, Aastra Web UI or IP Phone UI.

4 In the “Call Forward Key Mode” field, select a call forward mode to use on the phone.

Valid values are: Account, Phone, Custom. Default is Account.

• account The account mode allows you to configure CFWD on a per account basis. Pressing a configured CFWD key applies to the account in focus.

• custom The Custom mode allows you to configure CFWD for a specific account or all accounts. You can configure a specific state (All, Busy, and/or No Answer) for each account independently or all accounts. On the 51 and 53i phones, you can set all accounts to ALL On or ALL Off. On the 55i, 57i, and 57i CT, you can set all accounts to All On, All Off, or copy the configuration for the account in focus to all other accounts using a CopytoAll softkey.

Notes:

1. If there is no CFWD key configured on the phone or it is removed, you can still set the CFWD

modes via the IP Phone UI at the path Options->Call Forward.

2. If there is only one account configured on the phone, then the mode setting is ignored and the

phone behaves as if the mode was set to “Phone”.

3. When configuring a CFWD state (All, Busy, No Answer) for an account, you must configure a

CFWD number for that state in order for the state to be enabled.

7 For each account, enable CFWD state by placing a check mark in one or more of the following

“State” fields:

•All

•Busy

• No Answer

The “All” option forwards all incoming calls for this account to the specified phone number regardless of the state of the phone. The phone can be in the Busy or No Answer states, or can be in the idle state. The phone still forwards all calls to the specified number. The “Busy” option call forwards incoming calls only if the account is in the busy state. The calls are forwarded to the specified phone number. The “No Answer” option call forwards incoming calls only if the account rings but is not answered in the defined number of rings. The call gets forwarded to the specified number.

Note: You can use the “Busy” and “No Answer” states together using different forwarding phone numbers. If these states are enabled for an account (the “All” state is disabled), and the phone is in the busy state when a call comes in, the phone can forward the call to the specified phone number (for example, voicemail). If there is no answer on the phone after the specified number of rings, the phone can forward the call to a different specified number, such as a cell phone number.

8 For each account, in the “Number” field, enter the phone number for which you want the incoming

calls to forward to if the phone is in the specified state.

If using the “Account” mode or “Custom” mode, you can enter different phone numbers for each account.

Notes:

1. If you selected “Account” mode in step 4, you can enable/disable each account or all accounts

as applicable. You can enter different phone number for each enabled state. If you selected “Custom” mode, you can enable/disable each account or all accounts as applicable. You can enter different phone numbers for each enabled state. If you selected “Phone” mode, all accounts are set to the same CFWD configuration (All, Busy, and/ or No Answer) as Account 1 on the phone. (In the Aastra Web UI, only Account 1 is enabled. All other accounts are grayed out but use the same configuration as Account 1.)

Using the Aastra Web UI, if you make changes to Account 1, the changes apply to all accounts on the phone. Using the IP Phone UI, if you make changes to any other account other then Account 1, the changes also apply to all accounts on the phone. When enabling a CFWD state, you must specify a phone number for the phone to CFWD to. The number you specify applies to all accounts of the same mode.

2. Number and name of accounts that display to this screen are dependant on the number and

name of accounts configured on the phone. In the screen in step 6, Screenname1 is configured on Line 1, Screenname2 is configured on Line 2, and Screenname3 is configured on Line 3. The name for the account is dependant on the name specified for the “Screen Name” parameter at the path Advanced Settings->LineN. If you do not specify a value for the “Screen Name” parameter, the account name is based on the “Phone Number” parameter at the path Advanced Settings->LineN. If neither the “Screen Name” nor the “Phone Number” parameters are specified, the account name shows “1”, “2”, “3”, etc. only.

9 For the No Answer state, in the “No. Rings” field, enter the number of times that the account rings

before forwarding the call to the specified number. Valid values are 1 through 20. Default is 1.

Note: When using the “Account” mode or “Custom” mode, you can enter a different number of rings for each account. If you use the Aastra Web UI to change the Call Forward Key Mode to “Phone”, all accounts synchronize to Account 1.

IP Phone Release Notes 2.2

Features in Release 2.2

Multicast Group Paging

An Administrator or User can configure a specific softkey on the phone that allows you to send/receive a Real Time Transport Protocol (RTP) stream to/from pre-configured multicast address(es) without involving SIP signaling. This is called Group Paging on the IP phones. You can specify up to 5 listening multicast addresses.

An Administrator can use the following parameters in the configuration files to set Group Paging RTP Settings:

• paging group listening

• softkeyN type, topsoftkeyN type, prgkeyN type, or expmodX keyN type

• sofkeyN label, topsoftkeyN label, or expmodX keyN label

• softkeyN value, topsoftkeyN value, prgkeyN value, or expmodX keyN value

An Administrator or User can use the following parameters in the Aastra Web UI to set Group Paging RTP Settings:

• Paging Listen Addresses (Basic Settings->Preferences->Group Paging RTP Settings)

• <Paging> Softkey (Operation->Softkeys and XML, Operation->Programmable Keys, Operation->Expansion Keys)

How it works

After pressing a configured “Paging” softkey on the phone, the Phone sends RTP to a preconfigured multicast address. Any phone in the local network then listens for RTP on the preconfigured multicast address. For both sending and receiving of the multicast RTP there is no sip signaling involved. The Phone displays the “Paging” message to the phone’s LCD.

Note: Multicast RTP is one way only - from sender to the receiver (i.e.

from sender to the multicast address (receiver)).

The phone uses the G711 uLaw CODEC for multicast RTP.

60 RN-001029-00, Rev 06, Release 2.2

5i Series IP Phone Release Notes

Features in Release 2.2

The recipient can drop the incoming page if required. The recipient can also set Do Not Disturb (DND) to ignore any incoming pages.

Note: For outgoing RTP multicasts, all other existing calls on the phone

are put on hold.

For incoming RTP multicasts, the ringing display is dependant on the “Allow Barge-In” parameter. If this parameter is disabled,

and there is no other call on the phone, then the paging is automatically played via the preferred audio device (see the model-specific IP Phone User Guide for setting Audio Mode on the phone).

If there is an existing call on the phone, the call initially displays in the ringing

state. The user has the option to accept/ignore the call. If the “Allow Barge-In” parameter is enabled, the RTP multicast call barges in, and any existing calls are put on hold.

If an RTP multicast session already exists on the phone, and the phone receives another incoming RTP multicast session, the priority is given to the first multicast session and the second multicast session is ignored. The behavior for the incoming calls in this case is also based on the setting for the “Allow Barge-in” parameter. The incoming call is handled as if there were an existing call already on the phone.

Simplified Transfer Using BLF and Speeddial Keys

In Release 2.2, a transfer (Xfer) enhancement has been added to the original functionality of the BLF and Speeddial keys - BLF/Xfer and Speeddial/Xfer.

Prior to this release, the IP Phones supported BLF, Xfer, and Speeddial softkeys and programmable keys. The BLF key allows one or more extensions to be monitored, and once there is any state change with those extensions, the key shows the status of the monitored lines. The Xfer key allows a call to be transferred to other recipients blindly or consultatively. The Speeddial key allows a number to be dialed quickly by pressing one key configured for speeddialing. After answering a call, the recipient can transfer the call to an extension by:

1. Pressing Xfer key

2. Entering the number of the extension or pressing speeddial or BLF key.

3. Pressing Xfer key again

Release 2.2 introduces a simpler way of transferring calls using the keys called BLF/Xfer and Speeddial/Xfer. The BLF/Xfer key combines the BLF and Xfer key's functionality together allowing the user to transfer calls or use BLF with one key. Similarly, the Speeddial/Xfer key combines the Speeddial key and Xfer key's functionality together allowing the user to press one key to speeddial and transfer calls.

Note: It is recommended that you enable the “switch focus to

ringing” parameter when using the BLF and Speeddial transfer key

feature. For more information about this parameter, see “Ability to

Disable Switching Focus to a Ringing Line When on a Call” on page 74.

• BLF/Xfer and Blind Transfer Calls

When the focused line is in the “Connected” state, pressing the BLF/Xfer key transfers the call to the extension unconditionally, disregarding the status of the monitored extension.

If transferring a call to an extension fails, a message “Transfer Failed” displays on the phone, and you can reconnect the call (get the call back) by pressing the line key again.

• BLF/Xfer and Call forward

When the focused line is in the “Ringing” state, pressing the BLF/Xfer key forwards the call to the extension unconditionally, disregarding the status of the monitored extension.

• BLF/Xfer and Speeddial

When the focused line and the monitored extension are idle, pressing the BLF/Xfer key causes the phone to go offhook and dial the number of the extension.

Security Features

802.1x Support

The IP phones now support the IEEE 802.1x protocol. The 802.1x protocol is a standard for passing Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) over a wired or wireless Local Area Network (LAN).

The 802.1x protocol on the IP phone facilitates media-level access control, and offers the capability to permit or deny network connectivity, control LAN access, and apply traffic policy, based on user or endpoint identity. This feature supports both the EAP-MD5 and EAP-TLS protocols.

If 802.1x on the phone is enabled, the following screen displays during startup of the phone.

>> 10%

802.1x Authenticating....

If the 802.1x failed to authenticate with the server, the phone continues it's normal startup process using DHCP. However, the network port on the phone may or may not be disabled, depending on the switch configuration.

Features in Release 2.2

Certificates and Private Key Information

• If the certificates and private key are NOT stored in the phone:

— the phone connects to an open unauthenticated VLAN and the certificates

are downloaded. or

— the phone connects using EAP-MD5 to a restricted VLAN and the

certificates are downloaded.

• If the certificates and private key ARE stored in the phone, the phone uses

them during the authentication process.

• If the phone uses EAP-TLS for successful authentication, after the phone

reboots, it downloads the latest certificates and private key files to the phone.

• The private key uses AES-128 to encrypt the private key file.

• Switch Supplicant Mode - The switch supports the following 2 modes:

— Single supplicant - This mode enables the port once any machine

connected to this port is authenticated. For security reasons, the IP phone has the option to disable the pass-through port.

— Multiple supplicants - Using this mode, the switch can support multiple

clients connected to same port. The switch distinguishes between the clients based on their MAC address.

• Factory default and recovery mode deletes all certificates and private keys,

and sets the EAP type to disabled.

You can configure the 802.1x feature on the IP phone using the configuration files, the IP Phone UI, or the Aastra Web UI.

Note: If configuring 802.1x using the IP Phone UI, the certificates

and private keys must already be configured and stored on the phone. Use the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI to load certificates and private keys.

IP Phone Release Notes 2.2

Features in Release 2.2

Improved Configuration File Encryption

The IP phones have an encryption feature that allows Service Providers the capability of storing encrypted files on their server to protect against unauthorized access and tampering of sensitive information (i.e., user accounts, login passwords, registration information). Service Providers also have the capability of locking a phone to use a specific server-provided configuration only.

Only an System Administrator can encrypt the configurations files for an IP Phone. System Administrators use a password distribution scheme to manually pre-configure or automatically configure the phones to use the encrypted configuration with a unique key. From a Microsoft Windows command line, the System Administrator uses an Aastra-supplied encryption tool called "anacrypt.exe" to encrypt the <MAC>.tuz file.

The security feature described above prevents unauthorized parties from reading or writing the contents of the <MAC>.tuz file.

In Release 2.2, the IP phones include an improved encryption mechanism that:

• Prevents users from using the <MAC>.tuz file that does not match the user’s

phone MAC address.

• Renders the <MAC>.tuz file invalid if the user renames the file.

• Works with IP phone releases prior to Release 2.2.

• Provides compatibility between the previous encryption routine and the new

decryption routine.

XML Features

SIP NOTIFY Triggers an XML Event

In order for an XML push to bypass the NAT/firewall, in Release 2.2 the phone now supports a proprietary SIP NOTIFY event (aastra-xml) with or without XML content.

If XML content is provided in the SIP NOTIFY, it is processed directly by the phone as it is done for an XML PUSH.

If the content is empty in the SIP NOTIFY, the phone automatically triggers a new pre-configured action uri (action uri xml sip notify).

Example of a SIP NOTIFY with XML Content

NOTIFY sip:200@10.30.100.103:5060 SIP/2.0

Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 10.30.100.103:5060;branch=z9hG4bK7bbc1fac;rport

From: <sip:201@10.30.100.103:5060>;tag=81be2861f3

CSeq: 4 NOTIFY

Max-Forwards: 70

Event: aastra-xml

Content-Type: application/xml

Content-Length: 115

When the phone receives the SIP NOTIFY, the XML content is processed as any XML object. In the above example, the phone calls http://10.30.100.39/XMLtests/ SampleTextScreen.xml after reception of the SIP NOTIFY.

Note: The phone supports all the current XML objects with all

the existing limitations. For example if an AastraIPPhoneExecute is used, the embedded uri(s) can not be HTTPS based.

When the phone receives the SIP NOTIFY, it will trigger the action uri xml sip notify parameter,if it has been previously configured using the configuration files

or the Aastra Web UI. If the action uri xml sip notify parameter is not configured, the phone does not do anything.

On the phone side, a System Administrator can enable or disable this SIP NOTIFY feature using the configuration files or the phone Web UI.

Also to ensure that the SIP NOTIFY is coming from a trusted source, it is recommended that you enable the Whitelist feature (Whitelist Proxy parameter) on the IP phone. If enabled, and the phone receives a SIP NOTIFY from a server that is NOT on the whitelist, the phone rejects the message.
