Firmware Installation
Methods
The firmware setup and
installation for the IP phone can be
done using any of the following:
• Phone keypad menu (Phone UI)
• Aastra Web-based user inter-
face (Aastra Web UI)
When the IP phone is initialized
for the first time, DHCP is enabled
by default. Depending on the type
of configuration server setup you
may have, the IP phone may
download a firmware version
automatically, or you may need to
download it manually.

Installation Considerations

The following considerations must
be made before connecting the IP
phone to the network:
• If you are planning on using
dynamic IP addresses, make
sure a DHCP server is enabled
and running on your network.
• If you are not planning on using
dynamic IP addresses, see
"Configuring Network Set-
tings" on page 23
setting up an IP address.
To install the IP phone hardware
and cabling, refer to the product-
specific Aastra Installation Guide.

Installation Requirements

The following are general
requirements for setting up and
using your SIP IP phone:
• A SIP-based IP PBX system or
network installed and running
with a number created for the
new IP phone.
• Adherence to SIP standard
RFC 3261.
• Access to a configuration server
where you can store the firm-
ware image and configuration
files.

• The IP phone must be config-
ured for a specific type of proto-
col to use. TFTP is enabled by
default. You can configure the
following protocols on the IP
phone:
- TFTP (Trivial File Transfer
Protocol)
Note: If you set TFTP, the configuration
server must be able to accept
connections anonymously.
- FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
- HTTP (Hypertext Transfer
Protocol)
• A 802.3 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet
LAN
• Category 5/5e straight through
cabling
• Power over Ethernet (PoE)
power supply (optional acces-
sory – necessary only if no inline
power is provided on the
network). (Not applicable to
9112i)
• Power adapter (included for
certain models of 9112i, 9133i,
and 480i CT).
Configuration Server
Requirement
A basic requirement for setting up
the IP phone is to have a
configuration server. The
configuration server allows you to:
• Store the firmware images that
you need to download to your IP
phone.
• Stores configuration files for the
IP phone
• Stores the software when per-
forming software upgrades to
the IP phone

server as a TFTP server, see

Server Protocol Setup."
