the Vertical 480i IP Phone Installation
Guide and the Vertical SIP 480i IP Phone
User Guide.
This guide complements
SIP 480i IP Phone Admin Guide 1
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 Vertical 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:
• 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 “Configuring the 480i
IP Phone” on how to set up an 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 find out how to hook up the cabling
to your 480i phone, please refer to the
Vertical 480i IP Phone 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: “firmware.st”,
“aastra.cfg” and “<mac>.cfg”. The
settings of the 480i phone, as well as the
softkeys and the additional 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 server’s IP
address. For details on how to set
the TFTP server setting for the
480i, please refer to the section
“Configuring the 480i IP Phone”.
2. Copy the firmware file
“firmware.st” 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 configuration files
“aastra.cfg” and “<mac>.cfg” file
to the root directory of the TFTP
server.
NOTE: <mac> represents the actual MAC
address of your phone which must
be input; i.e. 00085D030996.cfg

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 administrator
password is “22222”. For all other phone
options, please refer to the Vertical 480i IP Phone Installation Guide.
The administrator level options in the
phone’s Options List are:
• “8.Network”
• “9.SIP Settings”
• “4.Factory Default” found under
option “10.Phone Status”
Network:
If DHCP is enabled, all the Network
settings are automatically configured.
The 480i’s 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 phone’s 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

use. There are three menu suboptions:
SIP 480i IP Phone Admin Guide 3
1. Primary TFTP: This is the
IP address of the TFTP server
that the phone will use by
default. If the TFTP address
is obtained through DHCP, it
will override this setting. If
DHCP is ON, the primary
TFTP is read only.
2. Alternate TFTP: This
allows you to configure an
alternate TFTP to use instead
of the primary server.
3. Use Primary/Use Alternate:
This selects which TFTP
server the phone will attempt
to obtain configuration from.
SIP Settings:
is selected, the SIP phone's IP
address is immediately deleted
from the Registrar's database,
and the phone’s screen displays
"No Service".
6. 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.
7. Display Name
This is used in the display name
field of the From SIP header
field. Some IP PBX systems use
this as the caller’s ID and some
may overwrite this with the
string that is set at the PBX
system.
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:
1. Proxy IP
This is the IP address of the
proxy server.
2. Proxy Port
This is the SIP proxy server’s

registration of the IP phone with
the Registrar.
If YES is selected, the phone's IP
address is immediately registered
in the Registrar's database. If NO
8. Screen Name
This is used to display text on the
screen of the phone. You may
want to set this parameter to
display the phone user's name.
9. Auth Name
This is the authentication name
that is used in the username field
of the authorization header field.
This allows the phone to identify
itself to a proxy server that
requires authentication. When the
phone is challenged for
authorization, it will re-send the
challenged message with the
authentication name and
password.
10. Password
This is the authorization
password that is used to register
at the SIP registrar. When the

Setting parameters – Softkey Settings:
Softkey Settings:
This section describes the softkey parameters that can be configured on the 480i phone. There
are twenty softkeys that can be configured. These parameters can be configured either from the
aastra.cfg or the <mac>.cfg file, depending upon whether you wish the settings to be server wide
(aastra.cfg) or phone-specific (<mac>.cfg).
Softkeys can be configured as additional call/line appearances, speed dials, dnd,empty or
flash. Each soft key has three mandatory parameters: type, label , and value. There is also an
optional states parameter, which lets you specify what phone states you would like the softkey to
appear in (one or more of: idle, connected, incoming, outgoing). If left undefined, the softkey
will appear in the idle state only.

Softkey Positioning: Softkeys are positioned from the top left of the phone, down, and then
from the top right, down, on each screen. They are displayed in the order that they are numbered,
from softkey 1 to softkey 20. If more than six softkeys are configured, a ‘More’ softkey will
automatically be created for the sixth key, allowing you to access the next screen group of
softkeys.
The number of the softkey does not indicate where it will be placed. Softkey numbers only
indicate the order in which they will be sequentially positioned on the phone. Some softkey
positions are preconfigured for different phone states.
Idle State

Firmware Upgrade
The 480i phone uses TFTP to download
files and upgrade its firmware. A TFTP
server should host the firmware and
other related configuration files. The
TFTP server should be ready and be able
to accept connections anonymously
(without a requirement for a user name
and password). See Appendix C for
information on setting up a TFTP server.
You can download the firmware stored
on the TFTP server in one of two ways,
by either resetting the phone through the
options list of the 480i or by activating a
firmware download through the web
client. Resetting the phone will force the
phone to check for both firmware and
configuration files stored on the TFTP
server.
Warning: Do not reset or turn off the
phone until the download is complete.

Troubleshooting
This section describes solutions to some
most commonly occurring problems.
Why does my phone display
“Application missing”?
If you have experienced networking
issues while the phone was downloading
the application from the TFTP server, it
is possible that the phone can no longer
retrieve the required firmware file. In
the event that the phone is no longer able
to communicate with the TFTP server in
its attempt to re-download the firmware
and the phone cannot locate the
application locally, this message will be
displayed.
The phone will display the following:
“Recovery web-client at: <IP Address>”. The IP Address displayed i s
the IP address of the phone. If the phone
is unable to receive an IP from the
DHCP server or has lost its record of its
static IP, the phone will auto-assign
itself the default IP 192.168.0.50.
To recover the firmware for your phone
in this circumstance, please perform the
following:
1) Launch your web browser on
your computer. Please note that
your computer will need to be on
the same network as your IP
phone.
2) In the URL, type: “http://<IP Address>” (where IP Address is
the IP Address displayed on the
phone). Your browser will
launch the Vertical 480i IP Phone Firmware Recovery
page.
3) Enter the name of the firmware
file that is on the TFTP server
and ready for download. E.g.
“firmware.st”.
4) Enter the IP of the TFTP server.
5) Press the Download Firmware
button.
Please ensure that the TFTP server is
running and accessible on the network.
If the firmware file is correctly located
on the running TFTP server, the phone
will locate the file and reload the
application onto the phone.

Why does my phone display the
“No Service” message?
The phone willl display the “No
Service” message if the SIP settings
have not been set up correctly. Check
that the SIP settings are correct in the
phone. If using the configuration files,
this could be a formatting or syntax
error. For example, when entering the
perameter “SIP line1 user
name:5551231234”, you cannot use
formatting symbols such as “-“ as in
“555-123-1234” to format the number or
the phone will not recognize it.

Appendix A: Sample Configuration Files
This section consists of the sample configuration files necessary to configure the 480i IP
Phones. The general format is similar to configuration files used by several Unix-based
programs. Any text following a number sign (#) on a line is considered to be a comment,
unless the # is contained within double-quotes. Currently, Boolean fields use 0 for false
and 1 for true.
# Date: September 27, 2005
# File: Sample “aastra.cfg” file
# For Models: Vertical 480i, Vertical 9133i, and Vertical 9112i
# Notes:
# The general format used here is similar to configuration files
# used by several UNIX-based programs. Any text following a number
# sign (#) is considered to be a comment, unless the number sign is
# contained within double-quotes ("#") where it is considered to be
# a pound. For Boolean fields, 0 = false, 1 = true.
# Comments:
# This file contains sample configurations for the "aastra.cfg"
# file. The settings included here are examples and/or
# recommendations only. You should change/comment the values to suit
# your requirements.
# The Vertical 480i, 9133i and 9112i IP phones will download 2
# configuration files from the TFTP server while restarting, the
# "aastra.cfg" file and the "[mac].cfg" file. These two
# configuration files can be used to configure all of the settings
# of the Vertical 480i, 9133i and 9112i IP phones with the exception
# of assigning a static IP address to a phone and line settings,
# which can only be set in the “<mac>.cfg” file.
# The "aastra.cfg" file configures the settings server wide,
# while the "[mac].cfg" file configures only the phone with
# the MAC address for which the file is named (for example,
# "00085d0304f4.cfg"). The settings in the "aastra.cfg" file
# will be overridden by settings which also appear in the
# "<mac>.cfg" file.
# NOTES FROM VERTICAL
# Comments have been added to several of the settings below
# pertaining how they interact and are configured with TeleVantage.
# Some settings have been preconfigured for optimization with
# TeleVantage.
# DHCP:
# 0 = false, means DHCP is disabled.
# 1 = true, means DHCP is enabled.
# Notes: If DHCP is disabled, the following network settings will
# have to be configured manually either through the configuration
# files, the Options List in the phone, or the Web Client: IP
# Address (of the phone), Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS, and TFTP
# Server.
# Notes: If DHCP is enabled, you do not need to set these network
# settings.
#ip: # This value is unique to each phone on a server
# and should be set in the "<mac>.cfg” file if
# setting this manually.
#subnet mask:
#default gateway:
#dns1:
#dns2:
#tftp server:
# SIP Registrar and Proxy Server Settings
# =======================================
sip proxy ip: # IP of proxy server.
# This should match the IP Address or FQDN
# of the TeleVantage SIP Span
sip proxy port: 5060 # 5060 is set by default. If FQDN is used,
# set the sip proxy port to 0 (zero).
sip registrar ip: # IP of registrar.
# This should match the IP Address or FQDN
# of the TeleVantage SIP Span
sip registrar port: 5060 # 5060 is set by default. If FQDN is used,
# set the sip proxy port to 0 (zero).
sip digit timeout: 3 # dialing behavior (in seconds)
# 3 seconds is the default
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Time Server Settings
# ====================
time server disabled: 0 # Time server disabled.
time server1: 192.43.244.18 # Enable time server and enter at
# least one time server IP address.
# Currently set to time.nist.gov
#time server2:
#time server3:
# Time Server Disabled:
# 0 = false, means the time server is not disabled.
# 1 = true, means the time server is disabled.
# Notes: If the time server is enabled you will need to enter the
# IP address of at least one time server. If the time server is
# disabled, the time can be set manually in the phone's Options
# List under option "2. Time and Date".
# Lines should be set in the <mac>.cfg file since these settings
# are unique to each phone. See the sample “<mac>.cfg” file for
# for more information.
# Softkeys can be set either server wide through the “aastra.cfg”
# file or unique to each phone through the “<mac>.cfg” file.
# Notes: Currently, there are a maximum of 20 user definable
# softkeys that can be configured on the 480i phone. These can be
# set up through either of the 2 configuration files, depending on
# whether this is to be server wide ("aastra.cfg") or phone specific
# ("<mac>.cfg"). Each softkey needs to be numbered from 1 - 20, for
# example "softkey12 type: speeddial". Softkeys can be set up as
# speeddials and have a type, label, value and state associated with
# them.
# There are usually 4-6 available softkey positions per menu from
# top left to bottom right, depending upon which state the softkeys
# are defined for. Softkeys are positioned based on their number.
# The softkey with the lowest number will always appear in the first
# position. For example, if softkeys 8, 3, 12 and 7 are defined for
# a state, softkey3 will have the first available position in the
# top left, followed by softkey7, softkey8 and softkey12. This does
# not control the positioning of automatically added state specific
# softkeys.
# SOFTKEY STATES: User-defined softkeys are configurable for 4
# different phone states that determine where the
# softkeys will be displayed:
# "idle" = when the phone isn't being used
# "connected" = when the phone is connected to a
# remote party (could be on hold)
# "outgoing" = when the user is dialing a number
# "incoming" = when the phone is ringing
# A softkey can be defined to appear in more than
# one state by listing the states (do not use commas
# to separate list items). For example:
# Notes: If the softkey state information is not defined
# for a softkey, the phone will assume the softkey is to be
# positioned in the Idle State menu. Some softkeys are
# automatically added for certain states. These
# automatically added state specific softkeys are:
# "Pickup" and "Drop" in the connected state
# "Dial" in the outgoing state
# "Pickup" in the incoming state
# "More" in any state when there are more softkeys
# defined than are available in the one
# screen, the excess softkeys will overflow
# into an additional menu under the more
# softkey.
# SOFTKEY TYPES: Softkeys are defined in the following softkey type
# categories:
# "speeddial" = define softkeys as speeddials such
# as system feature codes, extensions,
# phone numbers, etc.
# "flash" = define a Flash softkey. The phone
# automatically populates the name and
# value parameters for the Flash
# softkey. This softkey can only be
# defined in the Connected state and
# function when the phone is connected
# to a call.
# "dnd" = define a DND softkey. The phone
# automatically populates the name and
# value parameters for the DND softkey.
# This softkey is an on/off toggle to
# set the phone rather than the
# extension on DND. This softkey can be
# defined in the Idle or Connected
# state.
# "empty" = define a softkey as empty to create
# a blank softkey on the screen for the
# purpose of positioning of other
# softkeys.
# SOFTKEY LABEL: Alpha numeric name for the softkey. The maximum
# number of characters for this value is 10 for
# speeddials and 9 for lines.
# SOFTKEY VALUE: If softkey type is a speeddial, any DTMFs (from
# 0 - 9, *, "#") or a comma (,) for 500ms pause and
# 'E' for On-hook can be set for the value.
# Programmable Key Settings (Vertical 9133i and 9112i)
# ====================================================
# Programmable keys can be set either server wide or unique to each
# phone.
# Notes: The maximum number of programmable keys that can be
# configured are 2 on the 9112i IP phone and 7 on the 9133i IP
# phone. On the Vertical 9133i IP phone and the 9112i IP phone, one
# of these programmable keys is predefined as a flash key.
# Programmable keys can be set up through either of the 2
# configuration files, depending on whether this is to be server
# wide (“aastra.cfg”) or phone specific (“[mac].cfg”). The most
# recently updated file will be used on the IP phones, when they
# are restarted. Each programmable key needs to be numbered,
# from 1 – 2 for the 9112i and from 1 – 7 for the 9133i.
# For example: “prgkey2 type: speeddial”
# PRGKEY TYPE: Programmable keys are defined in the following
# programmable key type categories:
# "speeddial" = define programmable key as speeddials
# such as system feature codes,
# extensions, phone numbers, etc.
# "flash" = define a programmable key as a Flash
# key. The phone automatically populates
# the name and value parameters for the
# Flash key.
# "dnd" = define a programmable key as a DND key.
# The phone automatically populates the
# name and value parameters for the DND
# key.
# PRGKEY NAME: Alpha numeric name for the programmable key. The
# maximum number of characters for this value is 10.
# PRGKEY VALUE: Any DTMFs (from # 0 - 9, *, “#”) or a comma (,) for
# 500ms pause and 'E' for On-hook can be set for the
# value.
# sip use basic codecs # Using this parameter, phone will only use
# pcma, pcmu and G729
# 1 = true, use only pcmu, pcma, g729
# 0 = false, use all supported codecs
# sip customized codec # This parameter can be used to select one
# or more codecs as described above
# Currently disabled. Setup to only send TeleVantage supported codecs
