4 Doing more with your desk phone

Your desk phone is designed to evolve with the environment. It can do more than just establishing
communication between people or helping you keep in touch with your contacts and enterprises.
This section describes some use cases with your desk phone.
4.1 Configuring your desk phone for remote working
Your IP phone can be used for remote working (VPN) via a secure connection (encrypted). Please note that ALE-
2/ALE-3 does not support the IPSec VPN, but only the OpenVPN.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a technology that allows a device to create a tunneling connection to a server
and become part of the enterprise's network (VPN server's network). VPN tunnels are secured via phone
OpenVPN client with TLS authentication, credentials, and certificates.
To establish a VPN connection, make sure you have the following connection information from the host provider:
•
Connection settings: server address, port, and protocol.
•
CA root certification file (.crt).
•
Client certification file (.crt).
•
Client key file (.key).
The VPN connection must be configured, enabled, and disabled on the Web Based Management page.
•
Open the Web Based Management page.
When the desk phone is connected to the network, your administrator can access the Web Based
Management page via a web browser by entering the IP address of your desk phone. The administrator
password of the phone is requested.
•
In the left-side navigation pane, select OpenVPN.
•
On the OpenVPN page, enter the required information (VPN server address, port, and protocol).
•
Upload security files: click the Select button to select security files (CA root certification file, client
certification file, and client key file) and then click the Upload button to upload them.
•
Enable VPN.
