Introduction

This administrator and provisioning guide contains detailed instru ctions for configuring the VSP600 DECT SIP cordless base station and VSP601 cordless handset. Please read this guide before attempting to configure the devices.

Audience

This guide is written for installers and system administrators. It assumes that you are familiar with networks and VoIP, both in theory and in practice. This guide also assumes that you have ordered your IP PBX equipment or service and selected which PBX features you want to implement. This guide references specific IP PBX equipment or services only for features or settings that have been designed for a specific service. Please consult your equipment or service provider for recommended switches, routers, and firewall and NAT traversal settings, and so on.

As the VSP600 base station becomes certified for IP PBX equipment or services, VTech may make interop guides available for those specific services. The interop guides will recommend second-party devices and settings, along with base-stationspecific configurations for optimal performance with those services.

About the base station

The VTech VSP600 base station is designed to work with popular SIP telephone (IP PBX) equipment and services. Once you have ordered and configured your SIP equipment or service, the base station and DECT cordless handsets enable you to make and receive calls as you would with any other business phone.

The VSP600 base station features include:

 Registration of up to 6 DECT cordless handsets  Up to 6 SIP account registrations  Up to 4 active SIP sessions (per account)  Power over Ethernet  Handset locator

DECT cordless handset features include:

 Backlit display  Speakerphone, hold, intercom and mute capability  Corded headset jack  3-way conferencing  200-entry call history

VSP600/VSP601 Administrator and Provisioning Manual

Network Requirements

A switched network topology is recommended for your LAN (using standard 10/100 Ethernet switches that carry traffic at a nominal rate of 100 Mbit/s).

The office LAN infrastructure should use Cat.-5/Cat.-5e cable. The base station requires a wired connection to the LAN. However, wireless

connections to other devices (such as laptops) in your office will not impede performance.

A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is recommended and must be on the same subnet as the base station so that an IP address can be auto-assigned. In most cases, your network router will have a DHCP server. By default, the base station has DHCP enabled for automatic IP address assignment.

NOTE: Some DHCP servers have default settings that limit the number of network IP addresses assigned to devices on the network. You should log in to your server to confirm that the IP range is sufficient.

If no DHCP server is present, you can assign a static IP to the base station. You can assign a static IP address using the WebUI. See Basic Network Settings on page 28.

do not have a DHCP server or do not manually assign a static IP, you will not

If you be able to access the WebUI and/or enable automatic time updates from an NTP server.

A DNS server is recommended to resolve the path to the Internet and to a server for firmware and configuration updates. If necessary, the system administrator can also download upgrade files and use the WebUI to update the base station firmware and/or configuration settings manually.

Configuring the Base Station

You can configure the base station using one of two methods:

 The Web User Interface, or WebUI, which you access using your Internet

browser. See Using the WebUI on page 9. The browser-based interface is easy to navigate WebUI has every setting required for configuring the base station and handsets. You can enter service provider account settings on the WebUI, assign accounts to handsets, and set up provisioning, which will allow you to automatically and remotely update the base station after initial configuration.

 Provisioning using configuration files. Working with configuration files allows

you to configure the base station at regular intervals. There are several methods available to enable the base station to locate and upload a configuration file. For example, you can enable the base station, when it starts up or reboots, to check for the presence of a configuration file on a provisioning server. If the configuration file is new or has been modified in any way, the base station automatically downloads the file and applies the new settings. For more information, see Provisioning Using Configuration Files on page 53.

VSP600/VSP601 Administrator and Provisioning Manual

Dial Plan

The dial plan consists of a series of dialing rules, or strings, that determine whether what the user has dialed is valid and when the handset should dial the number.

Dialing rules must consist of the elements defined in the table below.

Element Description

x Any dial pad key from 0 to 9, including # and *.

[0-9] Any two n u m b e r s s e p a r a t e d b y a h y phen, where the second number is greater

than the first. All numbers within the range or valid, excluding # and *.

x+ An unlimited series of digits.

, This represents the playing of a secondary dial tone after the user enters

the digit(s) specified or dials an external call prefix before the comma. For instance, “9,xxxxxxx” means the secondary dial tone is played after the user dials 9 until any new digit is entered. “9,3xxxxxx” means that only when the digit 3 is hit would the secondary dial tone stop playing.

PX This represents a pause of a defined time; X is the pause duration in

seconds. For instance, “P3” would represent pause duration of 3 seconds. When “P” only is used, the pause time is the same as the Inter Digit Timeout (see SIP Account Management on page 13).

(0:9) This is a substitution rule where the first number is replaced by the second.

For example, “(4:723)xxxx” would replace “46789” with “723-6789”. If the substituted number (the first number) is empty, the second number is added to the number dialed. For example, in “(:1)xxxxxxxxxx”, the digit 1 is appended to any 10-digit number dialed.

A sample dial plan appears below.

This separator is used to indicate the start of a new pattern. Can be used to add multiple dialing rules to one pattern edit box.

With manual provisioning, you update the base station settings (configuration and/or firmware) yourself via Provisioning > Import Configuration and/or Firmware Upgrade > Manual Upgrade.

On the Provisioning page, you can enter settings that will enable the base station to receive automatic configuration and firmware updates. The Provisioning page also allows you to manually update base station configuration from a locally stored configuration file using an Import function. You can also export the base station configuration—either to back it up or to apply it to anoth er base station—to a file on your computer.

The provisioning process functions according to the Resynchronization settings and Provisioning Server Settings. The base station checks for the provisioning URL from the following sources in the order listed below:

1. PnP—Plug and Play Subscribe and Notify protocol

2. DHCP Options

3. Preconfigured URL If one of these sources is disabled, not available, or has not been configured, the

Provisioning Using Configuration Files

Provisioning using configuration files allows you to place a configuration file on a provisioning server, where the base station can retrieve the file and update it s configuration automatically.

Configuration files have the extension .cfg and contain parameters that define various base station settings. To edit a configuration file, open it with a text editor such as Notepad.

The parameters (or settings) within configuration files are grouped into modules. Most of the modules group their settings in the same way that settings are grouped on the WebUI. For example, the “time_date” module contains the same settings that are on the Time and Date WebUI page.

Using the WebUI, you can also import a configuration file and apply the conf iguration file settings to the base station. For more information, see Provisioning on page 43.

Resynchronization—Configuration File Checking

You can select a number of options to set when the base station checks for new configuration files. This process of checking for configuration files is called Resynchronization. Resynchronization options are available on the WebUI Provisioning page, but you can also include them in a configuration file.

The resynchronization options are:

 Mode—sets the base station to check for a configuration file only, a firmware

update file only, or both types of file.

 Never—configuration file checking is disabled  Bootup—the base station checks for new configuration files when it boots up.

Any updates are applied during the boot-up process.

 Remote check-sync—enables you to start a resynchronization remotely using

your hosted server’s web portal. The Remote check-sync settings are available

only in the configuration file, not the WebUI.

 Repeatedly, at a defined interval from 60 to 65535 minutes (45 days).

The Provisioning Process

The base station’s automatic provisioning process is as follows:

1. Check for new or updated configuration files. The base station maintains a list of

the last loaded provisioning files. The base station compares its current configuration against the files it finds on the provisioning server.

If provisioning has been triggered by the resync timer expiring or by remote check-sync, the base station checks for updated files after one minute of inactivity.

2. Download the configuration files.

If any file on the provisioning server has changed, the base station treats it as a new file and downloads it.

53 Provisioning Using Configuration Files

VSP600/VSP601 Administrator and Provisioning Manual

If the provisioning URL specifies a path only with no filename, then by default the base station fetches the following two files:

 General file: <model>.cfg.  MAC-specific file: <model>_<MAC Address>.cfg.

The <model> variable is the VTech product model: VSP600, for example. If the provisioning URL specifies both a path and filename, then the base station

fetches only the configuration file specified.

3. The base station restarts after one minute of inactivity. During provisioning, the base station reads the configuration file and validates each

module and setting. The base station considers a setting valid if it is:

 a valid data type  formatted as a valid setting  within a valid data range  part of a module that passes an integrity check. That is, the module’s setting s

are consistent and logical. For example, in the “n etwork” module, if DHCP is

disabled, but no static IP address is specified, the module will fail the integrity

check and none of the settings will apply. Invalid modules or invalid settings are skipped and logged as ERRORs in the system

log, but will not interrupt the provisioning process. The system log will include the module parameters that have not been applied. A recognized module w ith unrecognized settings will cause all other settings in that module to be skipped.

A successful configuration or firmware update is reported as an INFO message in the system log.

Appendix A: Configuration File Settings on page 60 for the options and value

See ranges avai

lable for each configuration file setting.

Base Station Restart

If the base station needs to restart after an auto-update, the restart happens only after the base station has been idle for one minute.

To prevent users from delaying the update process (auto-updates cannot begin until the base station has been idle for one minute), or to avoid base station restarts that might interfere with incoming calls:

 set the resynchronization interval to a suit able period  upload any new configuration file(s) to your provisioning serv er after work

hours so that the base station will download the file(s) when there is little or no

call activity. When you update the base station by importing a configuration file using the WebUI,

the base station restarts immediately after applying the new settings, regardless of whether the base station is idle.

54 Provisioning Using Configuration F iles

VSP600/VSP601 Administrator and Provisioning Manual

Configuration File Types

The base station is able to retrieve and download two types of configuration file. Depending on your requirements, you may want to make both types of configuration file available on your provisioning server.

The two configuration file types are a general configuration file and a MAC-specific configuration file. The types differ in name on ly. The formatting of the files’ content is identical.

The general configuration file contains settings that are required by all base stations in the system.

The MAC-specific configuration file is a file that only a single base station can retrieve. The MAC-specific configuration file n a me contains a base station’s MAC address and can only be retrieved by the base station with a matching MAC address.

The filename formats for both files are:

 General file: <model>.cfg  MAC-specific file: <model>_<MAC Address>.cfg

The <model> variable is the VTech product model; for example, VSP600. For more information about the MAC-specific configuration file, see Guidelines for the MACSpecif

ic Configuration File on page 56.

the provisioning URL specifies a path only with no filename, then by default the

If base station will fetch both files.

However, if the provisioning URL specifies both a path and filen ame, then the base station will only fetch the single configur ation file specified.

Both the general and MAC-specific files can contain any of th e available configuration settings. A setting can appear in the general configuration file or the unit configuration file, or both files, or neither file. If a setting appears in both files, the setting that is read last is the one that applies.

When the base station fetches both a general and a MAC-specific configuration file, the general file is processed first. You can configure a setting for most of your base stations in the general file, and then overwrite that setting for just a few base stations using the MAC-specific file.

Data Files

The configuration file can also include links to data files for product customization. Allowed data types include the following:

 Directory (contacts, blacklist) in xml format  Certificates (server and provisioning) in pem format

Links to data files are in the configuration file’s “file” module. This is where you enter any URLs to the data files you require.

None of the data files are exported when you export a configuration file from the base station. However, you can export a Directory or Blacklist .xml file using the WebUI. After modifying the .xml file, you can use the configur ation file “file” module to have the base station import the new file. For a complete list of data file parameters, see “file” Module: Imported File Settings on page 88.

55 Provisioning Using Configuration F iles

VSP600/VSP601 Administrator and Provisioning Manual

Configuration File Guide

All configuration settings are initially stored in a configuration template file. Copy, rename, and edit the template file to create a general configurat ion file and the MACspecific configuration files you will need. You can store th e general configuration file and the MAC-specific files on your provisioning server.

Do not modify the header line that includes the model and firmware version. To save yourself time and effort, consider which settings will be common to all ( or

the majority of) base stations. Such settings might include Call settings, language, and NAT settings. You can then edit those settings in the configur ation template and save it as the general configuration file. The remaining settings will make up the MAC-specific configuration file, which you will h a ve to copy and edit for each base station.

Guidelines for the MAC-Specific Configuration File

The base station downloads the MAC-specific configuration file after the Main configuration file. You must create a MAC-specific configuration file for each base station in your system. The file name must contain the base station’s MAC address, which is printed on a label on the bottom of the base station. For ex ample, a VTech VSP600 base station with the MAC address of 00:11:A0:10:6F:2D would download the VSP600_0011A0106F2D.cfg file.

NOTE: When renaming a MAC-specific configuration file, ensure the filename is all upper case.

The MAC-specific configuration file contains settings intended exclusively for that base station. Such settings will include SIP account settings such as display na me, user ID, and authentication ID.

Securing Configuration Files with AES Encryption

You can encrypt your configuration files to prevent unauthorized users modifying the configuration files. The base station firmware decrypts files using the AES 256 algorithm. After encrypting a file and placing it on your provisioning server, you can enable the base station to decrypt the file after fetching it from the server.

The procedures in this section use OpenSSL for file encryption. The illustration provided shows OpenSSL for Windows.

To decrypt a configuration file, you will need a 16-character AES key that you specified when you encrypted the file. The key (or passphrase) is limited to 16 characters and supports special characters ~^`%!&-_+=|.@*:;,?()[]{}<>/\# as well as spaces.

NOTE: The encryption of configuration files is supported only for the auto provisioning process. Encrypt files only if you intend to store them on a provisioning server. Do not encrypt files that you intend to manually import to the base station. You cannot enable decryption for manually imported configuration files.

56 Provisioning Using Configuration F iles

VSP600/VSP601 Administrator and Provisioning Manual

To encrypt a configuration file:

1. (Optional) Place your configuration file in t he same folder as the openssl

executable file. If the configuration file is not in the same folder as the openssl executable file, you can enter a relative pathname for the [infile] in the next step.

2. On the openssl command line, type:

enc -aes-256-cbc -pass pass:[passphrase123456] -in [infile] -out [outfile] -nosalt -p

Elements in brackets are examples—do not enter the brackets. Enter a 16-character passphrase and the unencrypted configuration file filename (the “infile”) and a name for the encrypted file (“outfile”) that will result.

To enable configuration file decryption:

1. On the WebUI, click Servicing > Provisioning.

2. On the Provisioning page under Resynchronization, select Use Encryption for

configuration file.

3. Enter the 16-character passphrase that you created when you encrypted the

configuration file.

4. Click Save. NOTE: You must ensure that configuration files are encrypted when enabling AES

Encryption. Decrypting an unencrypted file will result in a garbage file that is not processed. This will also be logged as an error in the system log.

If you have difficulty with your base station, please try the suggestions below. For customer service, visit our website at

1 (888) 370-2006.

The DECT handset doesn’t register. “Registration failed” appears on the screen.

 Ensure the handset is fully charged and in the charger.  Ensure the handset is not already registered to another base station. If it has

been registered to another base station, deregister it.

My caller ID isn’t working.

 Caller ID is a subscription service. You must subscribe to this service from your

telephone service provider for this feature to work on your telephone.

 The caller must be calling from an area that supports caller ID.  Both your and your caller’s telephone service providers must use caller ID

compatible equipment.

The manual firmware upgrade or configuration update isn’t working.

 Before using the WebUI, ensure you have the latest version of your web

browser installed. Some menus and controls in older browsers may operate

differently than described in this manual.

 Ensure you have specified the correct path to the firmware and configuration

files on the SERVICING > Firmware Upgrade > Auto Upgrade page and

the SERVICING > Provisioning page.

businessphones.vtech.com or call

Provisioning: “Use DHCP Option” is enabled, but the base station is not getting a provisioning URL from the DHCP Server.

 Ensure that DHCP is enabled in Network settings.

Appendix A: Configuration File Settings

This section lists the available options for all the settings within the configuration file. Most settings in the configuration file have an equivalent in the WebUI (see the settings tables in Using the WebUI on page 9). However, the options you must enter

hen editing the configuration file have a different syntax and format.

w The settings are divided into modules. Each module loosely corresponds to a page on

the WebUI. You may wish to reorganize the modules within the configuration file itself. The configuration file settings can be listed in any order, and the configuration file will still be valid.

“sip_account” Module: SIP Account Settings

The SIP Account settings enable you to configure SIP accounts for the base station. You can add up to six accounts for each base station. Each account requires you to configure the same group of SIP account settings. The SIP account settings for each account are identified by the account number, from 1 to 6 for the VSP600 base station, for example.

For example, for account 1 you would set:

sip_account.1.sip_account_enable = 1

sip_account.1.display_name = 1001

sip_account.1.user_id = 2325551001

and so on. For account 2, you would set:

sip_account.2.sip_account_enable = 1

sip_account.2.display_name = 1002

sip_account.2.user_id = 2325551002

and so on. The SIP account settings follow the format: sip_account.x.[element], where x is an

account number ranging from 1 to 6 for the VSP600 base station. All these settings are exported when you manually export the configuration from the

base station.
