Enhancements

Disable PC port on the Phase II IP Phone 2001/2002/2004

In support of certain corporate security policy requests that there be no open Ethernet ports
on their networks, the 0604D9F maintenance release now allows the PC port on the Phase
II phones to be disabled. The default, consistent with existing operation, is that the PC port
is enabled. This functionality already exists on the IP Phone 1140E.

To configure the PC Port settings on a Phase II IP Phone 2001/2002/2004:

1. Reset the phone by disconnecting and re-connecting power.

2. When the Nortel logo appears, press each of the four soft keys in sequence.

3. If no other configuration changes are required, press OK repeatedly until the “PC
Port? 1-ON 0-0FF” option appears.

4. Press 1 to enable the PC Port or 0 to disable the PC Port.

5. Select OK to confirm the change.

6. Restart the IP Phone.

When the IP Phone is restarted, the firmware sets the PC Port status accordingly.

Use Cached IP Address (Phase II IP Phone 2001/2002/2004 only)

In support of requests to allow a phone, which has been configured to use DHCP, to remain
in service in the event of a DHCP server failure (or loss of connection to the DHCP server)
the 0604D9F maintenance release now allow the phone to use a cached IP address. The
use of a cached IP address, however, is not compliant to the DHCP specification. The
default setting is compliant with the DHCP specification resulting in service denial until
connection to the DHCP server can be re-established. Only if Cached IP is enabled will the
phone be more resilient in the event of broken communication to the DHCP server

To configure a Phase II IP Phone 2001/2002/2004 to use Cached IP Address:

1. Reset the phone by disconnecting and re-connecting power.

2. When the Nortel logo appears, press each of the four soft keys in sequence.

3. If no other configuration changes are required, press OK repeatedly until the
“Cached IP? 0-NO 1-YES” option appears.

4. Press 0 (default) to not cache the IP address, or press 1 to cache the IP address.

5. Select OK to confirm the change.

6. Restart the IP Phone.

When the IP Phone is restarted, the firmware sets the Cached IP status accordingly.

Increase Default Ringer Volume (IP Phone 2001/2002/2004)

In the 0604D9F maintenance release, the default ringer volume on the Phase II has been
raised to 2 bars from 1 bar. The IP Phone 1140E default ringer volume is already set to 2
bars.

Interworking with Citrix Application Gateway release 5.3.3 improvements (IP Phone
2001/2002/2004/1140E)

interworking with Citrix Application Gateway release 5.3.3. For more information on the

Local control enabling headsets feature Bluetooth* wireless technology (IP Phone
1140E only)

In addition to the TFTP-based option which was available with initial introduction of the IP
Phone 1140E, the 0625C1B maintenance releases adds the capability to locally control
whether or not wireless headsets featuring Bluetooth technology can be enabled.

To configure Bluetooth wireless technology on an IP Phone 1140E:

1. Double-press the Services key.

2. Press 3 on the dialpad to access the Network Configuration menu or use the
Up/Down navigation keys to scroll and highlight the Network Configuration option.

3. Use the Right navigation key to navigate to the Enable Bluetooth combo box. The
current setting is displayed.

4. Press Enter to start the edit mode.

5. Use the Up/Down navigation keys to scroll to and highlight the desired mode.

• Auto – (default) Bluetooth wireless technology setting is received through TFTP

configuration

• Yes – Bluetooth wireless technology is enabled on the IP Phone 1140E

• No – Bluetooth wireless technology is disabled on the IP Phone 1140E

6. Press Enter to select the mode and to close the list.

7. Press the Apply&Reset soft key to save the change and to restart the phone. The
new mode takes affect when the IP Phone 1140E restarts.

Phone 1140E, refer to the IP Phone 1140E User Guide.
