About the VSP725 Deskset

The VTech VSP725 SIP Deskset is a business phone designed to work with popular SIP telephone (IP PBX) equipment and services. Once you have ordered and co nfigured your SIP equipment or service, the VSP725 enables you to make and receive calls as you would with any other business phone. The VSP725 provides calling features like hold, transfer, conferencing, speakerphone, speed-dial numbers and one-touch directory access.

The VSP725 Deskset features include:

 2.5-inch backlit Liquid Crystal Display  Speakerphone, headset, hold and mute  Up to 3 SIP account registrations  Up to 6 active SIP sessions  3-way conferencing  12 dual-function programmable keys

VSP725 Administrator and Provisioning Manual

 Message Waiting alert LED  Dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports  Power over Ethernet enabled  DECT cordless headset and cordless handset support

For information about registering a cordless headset, see the VSP725 Deskset User's Guide. For information about registering a cordless handset, see the VSP601 Handset Quick Start Guide.

 200-entry Call Log

There are two network ports, known as the Ethernet port and PC port, at the back of the VSP725. The Ethernet port allows the VSP725 Deskset to connect to the IP PBX. The PC port is for another device such as a personal computer to connect to the Ethernet network through the VSP725.

You can configure the VSP725 using the menus on the phone, a browser-based interface called the WebUI, or an automatic provisioning process (see “Provisioning Using

Configuration Files” on page 91). The WebUI enables you to configure the VSP725 using

a computer that is connected to the same Local Area Network. The We bUI re sid es on the VSP725, and may get updated with firmware updates.

The VSP725 SIP Deskset supports intercom and call transfers between system extensions and can connect you and two other parties on the same conference call.

The VSP725 has 12 dual-function programmable keys. You can program these keys for quick dial, busy lamp field, line access or any of the functions described in “Programmable

Keys” on page 12.

Network Requirements

A simple VSP725 SIP Deskset installation example is shown in Figure 1. A switched network topology is recommended for your LAN (using standard 1 0/100 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 VSP725 requires a wired connection to the LAN. However, wireless connections from

your LAN 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 VSP725 Desksets so that IP addresses can be auto-assigned. In most cases, your network router will have a DHCP server. By default, the VSP725 has DHCP enabled for automatic IP address assignment.

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 VSP725. You can assign a static IP address using the VSP725 menu. Go to Admin settings > Network setting > Set static IP. If you do not have a DHCP server or do not manually assign static IPs, you will not be able to access the WebUI and/or enable automatic time updates from an NTP server.

VSP725 Administrator and Provisioning Manual

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 VSP725 firmware and/or configuration settings manually.

For users whose computers require a GigE Ethernet frame r ate (a gigabit per second), use separate Ethernet connections for the VSP725 and the computer . The Ethernet connection through a VSP725 is limited to 100 Mbits/s.

Figure 1. VSP725 Installation Example

Introducing the VSP725 15 Back to Contents

VSP725 Configuration Methods

You can configure the VSP725 using one of the following methods:

 From the VSP725 itself, using the menus. The VSP725 menus are best suited to

configuring a few settings, perhaps after the initial setup has been done. For administrators, the settings available on the VSP725 menus include network settings, account settings, and provisioning settings. See “Using the Admin

Settings Menu” on page 27. Many of the settings accessible on the VSP725 are

most useful for end users. Through the menu, they can customize the screen appearance, sounds, and manage calls. For more information, see the VSP725 User Guide.

 The Web User Interface, or WebUI, which you access using your Internet browser .

See “Using the WebUI” on page 33. The browser-based interface is easy to navigate and best suited to configuring a large number of VSP725 settings at once. The WebUI gives you access to every setting required for configuring a single device. You can enter service provider account settings on the WebUI, configure the programmable keys, and set up provisioning, which will allow you to automatically and remotely update the VSP725 after initial configuration.

VSP725 Administrator and Provisioning Manual

 Provisioning using configuration files. Working with configuration files is the best

way to configure multiple phones. There are several methods available to enable the VSP725 to locate and upload the configuration file. For example, you can enable the VSP725, when it starts up or rebo ots, 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 VSP725 automatically downloads the file and applies the new settings. For more information, see “Provisioning Using

Configuration Files” on page 91.

Introducing the VSP725 16 Back to Contents

Adding a Custom Logo

Y ou can upload a custom logo to be displayed on the pho ne idle screen and during bootup. Uploading a logo is done using the configuration file. The parameters for uploading a custom logo are described in “Uploading a custom logo” on page 17. The default logo for bootup and idle mode is the vtech logo.

Idle screen logo behavior

The behavior described below is disabled by default. You can enable the logo to appear instead of the idle screen after a specified period of

inactivity. The parameter for setting the delay before the logo appears is in the General configuration file. See “user_pref.idle_to_logo_timeout” on page 135.

You can enable the phone screen to cycle between the logo and the idle screen when the phone is in idle mode by setting both the

user_pref.logo_to_idle_timeout

on page 135.

VSP725 Administrator and Provisioning Manual

user_pref.idle_to_logo_timeout

parameters. See “user_pref.logo_to_idle_timeout”

and the

Logo specifications

The file type and dimensions for the logo are listed below.

File type: Monochrome bitmap (.bmp) Dimensions (w × h): Idle screen and bootup logo: 158 × 57 pixels

Positioning a custom logo on the screen is a matter of creating a logo with the maximum dimensions listed above, including any surrounding white space. Note that the width of the logo specified in the table above is the same as the width of the VSP725 screen (158 pixels). There are no configuration file settings to specify the x-axis or y-axis position of the logo on the screen.

Uploading a custom logo

The file.bootup_logo and file.idle_logo parameters in the configuration file allow you to upload a custom bootup logo and custom idle logo. Place the logos on your server and enter the URL for each logo for the file.idle_logo and file.bootup_logo parameters.

If the downloaded logo is found to be invalid, the syslog will record one of the following errors:

 file not found  invalid file format

Introducing the VSP725 17 Back to Contents

VSP725 Administrator and Provisioning Manual

 incorrect image size  image is not in black and white

Custom logo user interactions

For VSP725 users, pressing any hard key will exit the idle logo and perform the key's function. For example, pressing MENU will show the Main Menu.

Pressing a soft key when the idle logo is showing will switch to the idle screen.

Introducing the VSP725 18 Back to Contents

Customizing Soft Keys

The configuration file allows you to select which soft keys can appear on the Idle screen, the Active Call screen, the Held Call screen and the Live Dial screen. You can also specify the position of each soft key.

Some soft keys appear only under certain conditions. For example , the Line soft key on the Idle screen appears only if there is more than one registered SIP account. When a "conditional" soft key is not visible, the soft key's position is left empty.

Soft key levels with no soft keys will not be shown if there are multiple soft key levels (as indicated by the  and  icons). Any soft key level where all soft keys are invisible will be dynamically skipped when the user navigates through the available levels. On the VSP725, a soft key level consists of three soft keys (populated or blank) in a row.

Table 4 shows the soft key options available for each screen. Each screen can have a maximum of nine soft keys.

You cannot edit soft key text. The configuration file parameters allow you to only select and position the soft keys for each screen.

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 VSP725 should dial the number.

Numbers that are dialed when forwarding a call—when the user manually fowards a call, or a pre-configured number is dialed for Call Forward All, Call Forward–No Answer, or Call Forward Busy—always bypass the dial plan.

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

Element Description

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.

Ringer Settings

The Ringer Settings enable you to provide a distinctive ringing feature via the custom Alert-Info header associated with an inc oming call. This setting overrides the ringer tone you have set for the account. For example, you can se t a uniq ue ringer tone to alert the VSP72 5 user upon receiving any incoming calls tagged as "important" in the Alert-Info header.

The SIP Invite message contains an Alert-Info header that the phone checks in order to determine which ringer tone to play. The Alert-Info header format is as follows:

Alert-Info: info=info_text

If the header contains the "info" p arameter , the phone attempts to match it to the Distinctive Ringing Text. If there is a match, the associated tone will play. If there is no match, the default tone for the account will play.

The matching is done on a "first match" basis. In the case of duplicate text strings, the ringer tone associated with the first matched entry in the Distinctive Ringing Text list will play.

The server-side configuration must be done with yo ur service pr ovider. The SIP Invite text ("Distinctive Ringing Text" on the Ringer WebUI page) must be entered in the format

ringerx, where x is the ringer number from 1 to 10. For example, to match Ringer 1 enter ringer1.

The ringer settings are also available as parameters in the configuration file. See

VSP725 Administrator and Provisioning Manual

Provisioning

Provisioning refers to the process of acquiring and applying new settings for the VSP725 using configuration files retrieved from a remote computer. After a VSP725 is deployed, subsequent provisioning can update the VSP725 with new settings; for example, if your service provider releases new features. See also “Provisioning Using Configuration Files”

on page 91.

With automatic provisioning, you enable the VSP725 to get its settings automatically—the process occurs in the background as part of routine system operation. Automatic provisioning can apply to multiple devices simultaneously.

With manual provisioning on the WebUI, you update the VSP725 settings (configuration and/or firmware) yourself via Provisioning > Import Configuration and/or Firmware Upgrade > Manual Upgrade. Manual provisioning can only be performed on one VSP725 at a time.

On the Provisioning page, you can enter settings that will enable the VSP725 to receive automatic configuration and firmware updates. The Provisioning page also allows you to manually update VSP725 configuration from a locally stored configuration file using an Import function. You can also export the VSP725 configuration—either to back it up or apply the configuration to another VSP725 in the future—to a file on your computer.

The provisioning process functions according to the Resynchronization settings and Provisioning Server Settings. The VSP725 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—Any VSP725 updated to the latest firmware release will have the

Redirection Server URL available as the default Prov ision in g Ser ve r URL (see

“provisioning.server_address” on page 119).

Using the Redirection Service requires contacting the VTech support team for an account.

If one of these sources is disabled, not available, or has not been configured, the VSP725 proceeds to the next source until reaching th e en d of the list.

The provisioning settings are also available as parameters in the configuration file. See

ONFIGURATION

Provisioning using configuration files is the quickest way to configure multiple VSP725 Desksets. You can place configuration files on a provisioning server, where the VSP725 Desksets retrieve the files and update their configuration automatically.

Configuration files have the extension .cfg and contain settings that will apply to VSP725 Desksets. To edit a configuration file, open it with a text editor such as Notepad.

The settings within a configuration file are grouped into modules. Most of the modules group their settings in the same way that settings are grouped on the VSP725 WebUI. For example, the "time_date" module in the configuration file contains the same settings that are on the Time and Date WebUI page. For a complete list of VSP725 configuration file modules and their associated parameters, see

page 99.

Using the WebUI, you can also import a configuration file and apply the configuration file settings to the VSP725. For more information, see

This chapter covers:

 “The Provisioning Process” on page 92  “Configuration File Types” on page 94  “Data Files” on page 95  “Configuration File Tips and Security” on page 96.

Provisioning Using Configuration Files 91 Back to Contents

The Provisioning Process

The automatic provisioning process is as follow s:

1. Check for new or updated configuration files. For file-checking options, see

“Provisioning” on page 81 and “Resynchronization: configuration file checking” on page 93. The VSP725 maintains a list of the last loaded provisioning files. The VSP725

compares its current configuration against the files it finds on the provisioning server. Checking for update… appears on the VSP725 screen.

If provisioning has been triggered by the resync timer expiring or by remote check-sync, the VSP725 checks for updated files after one minute of inactivity.

2. Download the configuration files. If any file on the provisioning server has changed, the VSP725 treats it as a new file

and downloads it. Configuring Deskset… appears on the VSP725 screen. If the provisioning URL specifies a path only with no filename, then by default the

VSP725 looks for and retrieves the following two files:

 General file: <model>.cfg.

VSP725 Administrator and Provisioning Manual

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

The <model> variable is the VTech product model: VSP725, for example. If the provisioning URL specifies both a path and filename, then the VSP725 retrieves

only the configuration file specified.

3. The VSP725 restarts after one minute of inactivity. Please wait while the phone reboots appears on the VSP725 screen. For more informa tion, see “VSP725 rest art”

on page 93.

During provisioning, the VSP725 reads the configuration file and validates each module and setting. The VSP725 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 settin gs ar e

consistent and logical. For example, in the "network" 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 ERROR messages 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 with 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.

Provisioning Using Configuration Files 92 Back to Contents

VSP725 Administrator and Provisioning Manual

See “Configuration File Parameter Guide” on page 99 for the options and value ranges available for each configuration file setting.

Resynchronization: configuration file checking

You can select a number of options that determine when the VSP725 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 VSP725 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 VSP725 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 yo ur

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).

VSP725 restart

If the VSP725 needs to restart after an auto-update, the restart happens only after the device has been idle for one minute.

To prevent users from delaying the update process (auto-updates cannot begin until the VSP725 has been idle for one minute), or to avoid device restarts that might interfere with incoming calls:

 set the resynchronization interval to a suitable period  upload any new configuration file(s) to your provisioning server after work hours so

that the VSP725 will download the file(s) when there is no call activity.

When you update the VSP725 by importing a configuration file using the WebUI, the device restarts immediately after applying the new settin gs, regardle ss of whether the VSP725 is idle.

Provisioning Using Configuration Files 93 Back to Contents

Configuration File Types

The VSP725 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 only. The formatting of the files' content is the same.

The general configuration file contains settings that are required by every VSP725 in the system.

The MAC-specific configuration file is a file that only a single VSP725 can retrieve. The MAC-specific configuration file name contains a VSP725 MAC address and can only be retrieved by the device with a matching MAC address.

The filename formats for both files are:

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

VSP725 Administrator and Provisioning Manual

The <model> variable is the VTech product model; for example, VSP725. For more information about the MAC-specific configuration file, see

configuration file” on page 96.

If the provisioning URL specifies a path only with no filename, then b y default the VSP725 will fetch both files.

However, if the provisioning URL specifies both a p ath and filename, then the VSP725 will only fetch the single configuration file specified.

Both the general and MAC-specific files can contain any of the available configuration settings. A setting can appear in the general configuration file or the MAC-specific 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 VSP725 fetches both a general and a MAC-specific configuration file, the general file is processed first. Y ou c an configure a setting for most of your VSP725 Desksets in the general file, and then overwrite that setting for just a few VSP725 Desksets using the MAC-specific file.

Links to data files are in the configuration file's "file" module. This is where you enter any URLs to the data files that the VSP725 Deskset may require.

None of the data files are exported when you export a configuration file from the VSP725. However, you can export a Directory or Blacklist .xml file using the WebUI. After modifying the .xml file, you can use the configuration file "file" module to have the VSP725 import the new file. For a complete list of data file parameters, see

Configuration File Tips and Security

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

Do not modify the configuration file 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) VSP725 Desksets. Such settings might include call settings, language, and NA T settings. You can then edit those settings in the configuration template and save it as the general configuration file. The remaining settings will make up the MAC-specific configuration file, which you will have to copy and edit for each VSP725.

Guidelines for the MAC-Specific configuration file

The VSP725 downloads the MAC-specific configuration file after the general configuration file. Y ou must create a MAC-specific configuration file for each VSP725 in your system. The file name must contain the VSP725 MAC address, which is printed on a label on the back of the device, or available on the MENU > Status > Product Info screen. For example, a VTech VSP725 Deskset with the MAC address of 00:11:A0:10:6F:2D would download the VSP725_0011A0106F2D.cfg file.

When renaming a MAC-specific configuratio n file, ensure the filename is all upper case.

The MAC-specific configuration file contains settings intended exclusively for that VSP725 Deskset. Such settings will include SIP account settings such as display name, 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 VSP725 firmware decrypts files using the AES 256 algorithm. After encrypting a file and placing it on your provisioning server, you can enable the VSP725 to decrypt the file after fetching it from the server.

The procedures in this section use OpenSSL for Windows for file encryption, as shown in Figure 2.

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 in length and supports special characters ~ ^ ` % ! & - _ + = | . @ * : ; , ? ( ) [ ] { } < > / \ # as well as spaces.

The encryption of configuration files is suppor te d only fo r the aut o pr ov isio nin g 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 VSP725. You cannot enable decryption for manually imported configuration files.

To encrypt a configuration file:

1. (Optional) Place your configuration file in the same folder as the openssl execut able 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. Double-click the openssl.exe file.

3. 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.
