Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) Settings Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) is used as the bearer path for voice packets sent over the IP network. Information in the RTP header tells the receiver how to reconstruct the data and describes how the bit streams are packetized (i.e. which codec is in use).
Page 276
IP Phone Administrator Guide Global SIP Settings RTP Port RTP is described in RFC1889. The UDP port used for RTP streams is traditionally an even-numbered port, and the RTCP control is on the next port up. A phone call therefore uses one pair of ports for each media stream. The RTP port is assigned to the first line on the phone, and is then incremented for each subsequent line available within the phone to provided each line a unique RTP port for its own use.
Page 277
All Codecs have a sampling rate of 8,000 samples per second, and operate and operate in the 300 Hz to 3,700 Hz audio range. The following table lists the default settings for bit rate, algorithm, packetization time, and silence suppression for each Codec, based on a minimum packet size.
Page 278
IP Phone Administrator Guide Global SIP Settings Silsupp is used to enable or disable silence suppression. Voice Activity Detection (VAD) on the IP phones is used to determine whether each individual packet contains useful speech data. Enabling silsupp results in decreased network bandwidth, by avoiding sending RTP packets for any frame where no voice energy was detected by the VAD.
Page 279
DTMF Method A feature on the IP phone allows you to select the DTMF method that the phone uses to send DTMF digits from the IP phone via INFO messages. You can set the DTMF method as Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP), SIP info, or both. You can configure the DTMF method on a global or per-line basis using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI.

IP Phone Administrator Guide Advanced Operational Features Transport Layer Security (TLS) The IP Phones support a transport protocol called Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Persistent TLS. TLS is a protocol that ensures communication privacy between the SIP phones and the Internet. TLS ensures that no third party may eavesdrop or tamper with any message.
Page 697
Notes: Persistent TLS requires the outbound proxy server and outbound proxy port parameters be configured in either the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI (Advanced Settings->Global SIP->Basic SIP Network Settings). There can be only one persistent TLS connection created per phone.
Page 698
IP Phone Administrator Guide Advanced Operational Features When an IP phone receives an incoming call, the IP phone does the following actions: • Checks to see if the incoming call is from a registered proxy server. • If the call is forwarded via a registered proxy server, then the message has already been verified and authenticated by the server.
Page 699
Configuring TLS Using the Aastra Web UI To configure TLS using the Aastra Web UI, you must enable TLS or Persistent TLS first. Then you must define the TLS certificate file names that you want the phone to use. Use the following procedure to configure TLS using the Aastra Web Aastra Web UI Click on Advanced Settings->Global SIP->Advanced SIP Settings.

Configurable DNS Queries The domain name system (DNS) is the way that Internet domain names are located and translated into Internet Protocol addresses. A domain name is a meaningful and easy-to-remember identifier for an Internet address. The lists of domain names and IP addresses are distributed throughout the Internet in a hierarchy of authority within a database of records.
Page 720
IP Phone Administrator Guide Advanced Operational Features Note: On the phone side, if you configure the phone with a Fully- Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) proxy and specified port, the phone always sends “A only” lookups to find the Host IP Address of the proxy. Configuring the DNS Query Method You can configure the DNS query method for the phone to use for performing DNS lookups using the following parameter in the configuration files:...
Ignore Out of Sequence Errors An Administrator can configure the phone via the “sip accept out of order requests” parameter to ignore CSeq number errors on all SIP dialogs on the phone. When this parameter is enabled, the phone no longer verifies that the sequence numbers increase for each message within a dialog, and does not report a "CSeq Out of Order"...
IP Phone Administrator Guide Advanced Operational Features “Early-Only” Parameter in Replaces Header RFC3891 The phones support the “early-only” parameter in the “Replaces” header according to RFC3891. When the phone receives a Replaces header with the early-only parameter, it replaces the existing dialog if the call is still in the early state.
