Administration menu
All the user level settings are accessible from the configuration menus, but the system level
settings found in a menu called the 'Administration menu' are protected by a password. In order
to access this menu (Service=>Administration),
1. You need to go to Service=>End menu,
2. then press *6 from the number keypad.
3. You will be prompted for a password. The default password is 123456. You can change it
for added security.
In the subsequent sections, when we refer to the Service=>Administration menu, you should
follow these steps to get to that menu.
Check versions
Before you begin configuring the phone, you need to make sure that you have the right version of
the firmware and the application software on the phone.
To check the versions, go to the Service=>Administration=>General Info menu. Under this
menu, there are two items called Firmware Version and Applic. Version. The firmware version
should be 2.3 or higher, Application version should be 2.0.9 or higher. If you don't have the right
versions, contact AltiGen Technical Support to get the right version of the software for the phone.
Upgrading firmware & application software
If you have an older version of firmware or the application, and would like to upgrade your phone
to a newer version, visit AltiGen's Technical Support website -
instructions.
Setting the IP address
Once you have verified that the phone has the right versions of software, you should set the IP
address of the phone. You need the IP address of the phone to complete the other configuration
settings from a web browser. You have two options – to assign a static IP address or to use a
DHCP assigned address.
By default, the phone is shipped with DHCP set to ON. So, if you are going to get an IP address
from a DHCP server, you don't need to do anything.
If you have to assign static IP address, follow these instructions:
•
In the Service=>Administration=>Network menu, set the following values (You should
get these values from your ISP or your network administrator):
o DHCP IP assign – this should be set to Off
o Terminal IP address – this is the IP address of the phone
o Terminal Mask – this is the subnet mask for your network
o Default route – this is the default gateway's IP address (typically the router's
address)
Other settings
The next step is to enter a couple of other settings to get the phone to function correctly with the
AltiServ system. They are:
•
In the Service=>Administration=>System menu, set Type to Non-HiNet
