1 Model 480i SIP Admin Guide
Methods of Installation
The firmware set up and installation for the 480i can be done through the Options List available directly from the phone or through the Aastra 480i Web Client web interface. When the 480i is initialized for the first time, DHCP is enabled by default. The DHCP server passes information to the 480i so that it can configure itself for subsequent IP PBX addresses and normal runtime operations.
The following considerations must be made before connecting the 480i phone to the network:
ïIf you are planning on using Dynamic IP addresses, make sure a DHCP server is running on your network.
ïIf you are not planning on using Dynamic IP addresses, refer to the section ìConfiguring the 480i IP Phoneî on how to set up an IP address manually.
ïMake sure a TFTP server is set up on your network and can accept connections anonymously.
ïEvery PBX system that interacts with the 480i phones requires adherence to the SIP Standard.
To find out how to hook up the cabling to your 480i phone, please refer to the Aastra 480i Installation Guide.
480i IP Phone Set up
When the 480i is first plugged in or reset it will automatically download any firmware updates for the phone. The binary and configuration files that are required for the 480i are: ìfirmware.stî, ìaastra.cfgî and ì<mac>.cfgî. The settings of the 480i phone, as well as the softkeys and the line keys, can be configured through the configuration files. 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 configuration files 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 serverís IP address. For details on how to set the TFTP server setting for the 480i, please refer to the section ìConfiguring the 480i IP Phoneî.
2.Copy the firmware file ìfirmware.stî to the root directory of the TFTP server. This firmware file is downloaded only when it is different than the one the phone is currently using.
3.Copy the Aastra configuration file ìaastra.cfgî and ì<mac>.cfgî file 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

Administrator Level Options
Some options in the phoneís options list are considered administrator level options and require the administrator user name and password. When attempting to access administrator level options, the phone will prompt for the administrator password before allowing access. The default password for the administrator is ì22222î. For all other phone options, please refer to the Aastra 480i Installation Guide.

ïì8.Networkî
ïì9.SIP Settingsî
ïì4.Factory Defaultî found under option ì10.Phone Statusî
Network:
If DHCP is enabled, all the Network settings are automatically configured. The 480iís firmware allows the network settings to be manually entered, if for any reason the phone cannot populate any of the settings with DHCP enabled. If DHCP is disabled the following network settings can be configured manually:
1.DHCP
This turns DHCP on or
off. IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway options are automatically populated and are read-only when DHCP is used. DHCP is used by default.
2.IP Address
This is the phoneís IP address. To assign a static IP address to the phone, disable DHCP.
3.Subnet Mask
To assign your own subnet mask to the phone, disable DHCP.
4.Gateway
To assign your own gateway IP address, disable DHCP.
5.DNS
To assign your own DNS addresses, disable DHCP.
6.TFTP Server
This is the TFTP serverís IP address.

SIP Settings:
If you have a proxy server or have a SIP registrar present at a different location than the PBX server, the following settings may need to be changed:

SIP registrarís port number. By default this is set to 5060.
5.User Name
This is used in the name field
of the SIP URI for the 480i phone and for registering the 480i at the registrar.
6.Display Name
This is used in the display name field of the From SIP header field. Some IP PBX systems use this
as the callerís ID and some may overwrite this with the string that is set at the PBX system.
7.Auth Name
The authorization name that will be used in the username field of the Authorization header field of the SIP REGISTER request.
8.Password
The password that is used to register at the registrar.
Phone Status:
The following options display the phoneís status or allow you to power cycle the phone or reset the
phone to its factory default settings.

ïMAC Addr
The MAC or the hardware address of the 480iís Ethernet card
2.Firmware Version
This option displays information about the firmware that is currently installed on the 480i.
3.Reset Phone
This option lets you reboot the phone. A reset may be necessary when:
ïThere is a change in your network, OR
ïTo re-load the configuration information modified through the configuration files to the phone, OR
ïIf the settings for the 480i on the IP PBX system had been modified.
4.Factory Default
This option lets you reset the phone back to the factory default settings, including the network settings. Performing this operation will result in losing all user modified settings.
