TR-069 SUPPORT

The IP Phones support the Technical Report (TR)-069 Protocol. This Protocol is a bi-directional
HTTP based protocol that provides the communication between Customer-Premises
Equipment (CPE) (like the IP Phones) and Auto Configuration Servers (ACS) over
DSL/broadband connections. It includes both a safe auto configuration and the control of other
CPE management functions within an integrated framework.
Service providers can, through TR-069, use one common platform to manage (through the
Internet) all of their customer premise devices, regardless of the device or manufacturer. If
TR-069 is enabled on the phones, when the remote ACS boots the phones, they contact the
ACS and establish the configuration automatically.
In addition to configuring the phone with TR-069, you can also do the following:
• Reboot the phone
• Reset to factory defaults
• Update the firmware of the device
• Backup/restore configuration
• Upload the log file
REFERENCE
For more information about TR-069, see the TR-069 Configuration Guide.

MAC ADDRESS/LINE NUMBER IN REGISTER MESSAGES

The IP phones can send the MAC address and line number in the REGISTER packets making
it easier for the call server when a user configures the phones via the Mitel Web UI or the IP
Phone UI. The following two configurable headers send this information to the call server:
Aastra-Mac: <mac address>
Aastra-Line: <line number>
The MAC address is sent in uppercase hex numbers, for example, 00085D03C792. The line
number is a number between 1 and 24.
The following parameters allow you to enable/disable the sending of MAC address and line
number to the call server:
• sip send mac
• sip send line
These parameters are disabled by default. The parameters are configurable via the
configuration files or the Mitel Web UI.
