• UPDATE_USERS [YES | NO] affects the default user names stored in the IP Phone 1120E. If this flag is set to YES, the default user names are overwritten each time a new device configuration file is downloaded. — YES - the default user names are overwritten each time a new device configuration file is downloaded.
36 Configure the provisioning server If the IP Phone 1120E is behind a firewall, it is very likely that you must keep SIP_PING enabled, unless an alternate method of keeping the firewall pinhole open is used. The default value is yes if not specified in the device configuration file.
— MCS - when the IP Phone 1120E receives either 301 (moved permanently) or 302 (moved temporarily) during registration, it is assumed the IP Phone 1120E is moved to a new MCS 5100 system (proxy+registrar) and all subsequent messages are sent to the new address.
Page 38
— YES - means that the request must come directly from the proxy server. YES is the default to enable proxy checking. — NO - means the request can be sent directly to the IP Phone 1120E. (NO is only suitable in a few situations).

If this is not specified, the IP Phone does not generate any NTP requests. — ip_address - the IP address of the NTP server in either Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or non-FQDN format..
FORCE_CFWD_NOTIFY [YES | NO ] allows the administrator to force the behavior of the DEFAULT_CFWD_NOTIFY value on all users who login to the IP Phone 1120E. The default setting is NO. — YES - the DEFAULT_CFWD_NOTIFY configuration value is forced into effect for the user.
— on_time - the duration of the tone when it is on. A -1 indicates a continuous tone. — off_time - the duration when no tone is played. The IP Phone 1120E supports using WAV files to replace the ringtone Frequency/Cadence pattern. For a system-wide setting, the country default values can be used.
• NAT_TTL[x] is used to set the NAT Time-to-live (TTL), the binding lifetime in seconds. This command causes the IP Phone 1120E to ping the ports at regular intervals shorter than the TTL to prevent the NAT from tearing down the ports. The default is 2 minutes (120 seconds).

After the new SIP Firmware writing is finished, the blue LED stops flashing and the telephone displays [FW] finished and then reboots.
A subset of these statistics is also available for the user to view on the IP Phone 1120E by selecting the Audio softkey and then the Monitor Audio Quality menu item.
80 Voice Quality Monitoring How VQMon works When the IP Phone 1120E detects that a particular voice quality metric has exceeded a threshold (defined in the device configuration file), the IP Phone sends a message to the server indicating that there is an issue. If the issue persists then the IP Phone reports another message indicating that there is an exceeded value at regular intervals.
Device Settings on the IP Phone 1120E with SIP Firmware ATTENTION An IP Phone 1120E with SIP Firmware displays different menus than the menus displayed on an IP Phone 1120E with UNIStim Firmware. Introduction This chapter details how to configure the Device Settings parameters on the IP Phone 1120E with SIP Firmware.
Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) schemes, such as Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS). RADIUS is defined in RFC 2865. The IP Phone 1120E with SIP Firmware supports only the MD5 authentication method. 802.1x defines the following three roles: 1.
802.1x authentication after the Ethernet connection (network interface only) is restored following a network link failure. However, if the IP Phone 1120E resets, it assumes the Layer 2 link has remained in service and is authenticated. The IP Phone 1120E fails to authorize if the DeviceID and the IP Phone 1120E passwords do not match the DeviceID and IP Phone 1120E passwords provisioned on the RADIUS Server.
84 Device Settings on the IP Phone 1120E with SIP Firmware • Gateway • DNS IP • Provisioning server IP, protocol, and, if user authentication is required to access the provisioning server, the user credentials Note: TFTP protocol does not require user authentication. Device ID and password are ignored.
VLAN. Disable PC Port With a disabled PC Port, the IP Phone 1120E with SIP Firmware does not receive or send packets to or from the PC port. No device can use the PC port to connect to the network.
86 Device Settings on the IP Phone 1120E with SIP Firmware Data VLAN Configure the Data VLAN (the VLAN applicable to the PC port). The behavior of the PC port is summarized in the following table. Table 18 PC Port (incoming traffic from PC)
ATTENTION Nortel recommends that Auto Negotiation mode is used on the network and the IP Phone 1120E. Use Full Duplex mode only when the entire network is running in Full Duplex mode. Otherwise, a duplex mismatch results. Note: Changing the speed, or the duplex mode, or both on the IP Phone 1120E changes both the LAN Ethernet port and PC Ethernet Port interfaces.
Enter the Time to Live (TTL) in seconds for the NATport if STUN is enabled. The Nortel IP Phone 1120E with SIP Firmware pings the open ports on an interval less than the TTL to prevent the NAT from tearing down the ports.

DN causes all the telephones in the group to ring. Any user of an IP Phone 1120E with the MADN SCA feature can put a call on hold or can prevent others from joining in the active call.
A user can activate the privacy service by putting the current session on hold and dialing the privacy code. The CS 2000 connects the IP Phone 1120E to the Media Application Server (MAS) to hear a confirmation for its request and terminates the session.
911 operator to ring back the calling party. In VoIP calls, 911 support is an evolving standard. If the user of an IP Phone 1120E attempts to disconnect a 911 call after the 911 operator has answered, the IP Phone 1120E switches to hands-free mode.
To allow operator control of disconnect during a 911 call, the IP Phone 1120E must identify a 911 call as soon as a 911 call is initiated. The IP Phone 1120E uses an emergency flag in the dialing plan to identify a 911 call.
If functionality is restricted, the associated buttons and Context-sensitive soft keys are not accessible or do not respond. Distinctive Ringing feature The IP Phone 1120E does not support the CS 2000 and CS 2100 Distinctive Ringing feature. SIP Firmware Release 1.1 for IP Phone 1120E Administration NN43112-300 02.03 Standard...
To initiate a STUN lookup, the IP Phone 1120E sends one or more Binding Request packets using UDP to the STUN server. These packets must be sent from the same IP address that the IP Phone 1120E uses for the other protocol, because this is the address translation information that the IP Phone 1120E tries to discover.
Page 104
104 NAT firewall traversal The IP Phone 1120E supports two methods for NAT traversal of the signaling path: • SIP_PING • STUN The NAT traversal method can be selected manually through the Device Settings menu or configured through the device configuration file. The default NAT traversal method is NONE.
When only voice VLAN is enabled on three-port switch, all kinds of frames go to the Network, the IP Phone 1120E receives only the frames with Voice VLAN tagged and send all frames with Voice VLAN tagged. PC or Local Networks receive all kinds of frames.

Convert SIP Firmware to UNIStim Firmware The IP Phone 1120E can be ordered with UNIStim Firmware installed or with SIP Firmware installed. If you have an IP Phone 1120E with UNIStim Firmware, and you convert the firmware from UNIStim to SIP, the UNIStim Firmware is overwritten.
Network-related issues can be debugged using Network Diagnostic Utility (NDU) built into the IP Phone 1120E. Another way to diagnose a problem on an IP Phone 1120E is to capture a message trace using any appropriate software. The IP Phone 1120E has Problem Determination Tools (PDT). These can be accessed through a Telnet session using the IP address of the IP Phone 1120E (for login and password, contact Nortel).
