UPGRADE CONFIGURATION
If using with FortiVoice, these parameters should never need to be altered. When performing a firmware
update, follow the instructions provided in the Start Guide or support section of the website.
On the Upgrade Configuration page, the results of the most recent download attempt are displayed at the
top. In addition, the following parameters can be modified:
• TFTP/HTTPS: Select the protocol that will be used to connect to the server where configuration and
software files are stored.
• TFTP Server Address: Enter the IP address or FQDN of the TFTP server where configuration and
firmware files are located. Select the Received by DHCP on boot check box if the phone will use DHCP
option 66 or 150 to populate this field.
FORTIFONE-450i AND FORTIFONE-550i TELEPHONE USER GUIDE65
Page 66
• HTTPS URL: is the URL of the HTTP/HTTPS server where configuration and software files are located.
Select the Received by DHCP on boot check box if the phone will use the DHCP Option defined to
retrieve the URL. If the option is present, the provisioning type is changed automatically to HTTP/
HTTPS using the URL from the DHCP option and default option 160. Note: Port 80 is used for HTTP and
443 for HTTPS.
• ID: If required, enter the user name for HTTPS authentication.
• Password: If required, enter the password for HTTPS authentication
• MAC Cfg. Format: Define the format of the MAC (phone specific) configuration filename. $MAC is
replaced with the MAC address of the phone and must be included as part of the file name or path to
the configuration file on the HTTP/HTTPS server.
• Verifying Cert.: Enables the verification of the Certificate of Authority (CA) on the HTTPS server.
When enabled, the phone checks the CA signature. When Server name verification is checked, the
phone checks whether the name of the server sending the CA is valid. When Expiration is checked, the
phone checks the certification expiration date.
• Root CA: Defines a Certificate of Authority (CA) other than the internal CAs, which include Verisign®,
to use for verifying the CA from the server. When the CA is not available in the phone memory, paste
the Root CA in this area of web page.
• File to Upgrade: Select the S/W check box if the phone should check for new firmware files on
bootup. Select the Configuration check box if the phone should check and download during bootup.
We recommend you leave both enabled. If no new files are found, no changes are made.
• Decryption Key: If required, enter the hexadecimal key required to decrypt configuration files.
• Smart Upgrade: Enables periodic checks for new software on the provisioning server. Two methods of
smart upgrade are available; one checks the server at the interval in hours, the second checks daily at
the time specified in a 24-hour clock format. Select enable from the Use Smart Upgrade drop-down
menu, then select the method with the radial button and enter the interval or time as appropriate.
If the phone finds a new version of software during the smart upgrade, the phone either downloads
the file or displays the availability of the new version and awaits confirmation to download. To await
confirmation, select the If discovered, confirm downloading check box.
To modify the configuration:
• Select the parameter and enter the new value or select the check box.
• When complete, press the Save button.
If the Received by DHCP on boot box is checked and there is an address specified for TFTP or HTTPS, then it is
ignored since the server information retrieved from the DHCP server is used.
Changes made to the Upgrade section require a reboot of the phone.

QOS CONFIGURATION
Only make adjustments if you understand how these features work.
Diffserv Configuration
DiffServ Code Point (DSCP) or ToS establishes the priority of voice packets. Compatible routers apply the
DSCP for packet priority, handling higher priority packets first. However, at congested routers, higher
priority packets are discarded first. Thus, a median value for DSCP is recommended.
IEEE 802.1Q
The VLAN tag defines the priority for Ethernet frames and the VLAN ID based on IEEE 802.1p/q. If using
with FortiVoice phone systems, 802.1p/q tagging is not currently supported. The phone PC and LAN (voice)
ports use separate VLAN tags. With a VLAN ID assigned, only frames with the ID are accepted and frames
sent from the phone include the LAN port ID and priority. In addition, the PC, LAN ports and the default
gateway must be assigned to employ the VLAN tags for proper operation.
Jitter Buffer Configuration
A jitter buffer stores incoming packets to allow for re-sequencing of packets received out of order. The jitter
buffer configuration controls the size of the buffer used. The minimum, normal and maximum delays
expected can be changed. Using larger values produce less packet loss as the phone waits longer to receive
packets before processing. Note that large values may delay voice packet processing and smaller values may
produce more packet loss but quicker voice packet processing. We recommend you use the default settings.
FORTIFONE-450i AND FORTIFONE-550i TELEPHONE USER GUIDE67
Page 68
• When done making changes, press the Save button.
Modifications made to the IEEE 802.1p/Q configuration require a reboot of the phone.
If CDP is enabled, manual VLAN settings are overwritten during a reboot of the phone. To use manually defined
VLAN settings, disable CDP.
LOAD DEFAULT
The Load Default page provides an option to return the phone configuration to factory default values.
To set the phone to the default configuration:
• Select the Load button. Note: All settings will be lost!
• The phone will load the default configuration and automatically reboot.
REBOOT
To reboot the phone:
• Select the Reboot button.
• The phone will reboot.
