Configuring the IP Phone

An administrator can configure the
IP Phone Network and SIP options
from the phone UI, from the Aastra
Web UI, or the configuration files.
Administrator level options are
password protected in both the IP
phone UI and the Aastra Web UI.
Note: An administrator has the option
of enabling and disabling the use
of password protection in the IP
phone UI. This is configurable
using the configuration files only.
For more information about this
feature, see "Password Settings"
on page 114.
The procedures in this section
include configuring from the IP
phone UI and the Aastra Web UI.
To configure the IP phones using
the configuration files,

Basic Network Settings

This section describes the basic
network settings on the IP phone.

DHCP

The IP phone is capable of
querying a DHCP server, allowing
a network administrator a
centralized and automated method
of configuring various network
parameters for the phone. If DHCP
is enabled, the IP phone requests
the following network information:
• Subnet Mask
• Gateway (i.e. router)
• Domain Name Server (DNS)
• Broadcast Address
• Network Time Protocol Server
• IP Address
• TFTP Server Name
Note: For DHCP to automatically
populate the IP address or
domain name for the TFTP
server, your DHCP server must
support Option 66. Option 66 is
responsible for forwarding the
TFTP server IP address or
domain name to the phone auto-
matically. If your DHCP server
does not support Option 66, you
must manually enter the IP
address or domain name for the
TFTP server into your IP phone
configuration.
The network administrator
chooses which of these parameters
(if any) are supplied to the IP
phone by the DHCP server. The
administrator must configure the
phone manually to provide any
required network parameters not
supplied by the DHCP server.
