Getting Started
The 6865i must be set up and configured prior to its first use. This section describes phone behavior and start up screens
you may see when the phone is first plugged in, or when it is restarted.

Plugging in and Starting the Phone
The 6865i automatically begins the start up sequence as soon as it is connected. The phone goes through this process the
first time you plug in your phone and every time you restart your phone.
Note:
Some start up screens only appear the first time you connect your phone, or if your phone has been factory defaulted.
The phone displays the following startup screens:

The Idle State screen lists your name (SIP screen name), extension (or phone number), and the date and time. This screen
is shown whenever your phone is not in use. The L1 in the upper corner in the above example indicates the idle screen for
the first line appearance. You can use the left and right arrow keys to scroll through the idle screens for both line appearances on the 6865i.
The second display line shows the following temporary messages if the event occurs:
• No Service
• DHCP Failed
• Restarting
• New IP Obtained
• Network Disconnected/Connected
Note:
Since Network Disconnected/Connected displays on two lines, the date and time does not show if this event displays.
• The second line can also display the following status messages, listed in order of display priority:
• Call Forward status
• DND (Do Not Disturb) On
• Number of missed calls
When more than one status message displays, the 2 is shown after the message to indicate that you can use the 2 and 5
navigation keys to scroll through the remaining messages.

Incomplete Configuration
If your phone displays an Incomplete Config message without any extension or user name at the end of the start up
sequence instead of an Idle state screen, this indicates the phone configuration that was downloaded from the configuration server is not complete or correct. Contact your System Administrator for assistance.

No Service
When the phone is not properly connected to the network, or the account has not been configured by the Network
Administrator, the No Service or Network Disconnected prompt appears on the display and the telephone status light
turns ON. Check that the cables are tightly connected to the phone and to the wall jack. The phone should automatically
detect when the connection is reconnected and display the Network Connected prompt temporarily.
If changes have been made to your phone settings, you may need to restart your phone. For more information on
restarting your phone, see “Restarting Your Phone” on page 39.
For more information about connecting your phone, refer to the Aastra 6865i Installation Guide or check with your System Administrator for assistance.

Emergency Dial Plan
Public telephone networks in countries around the world have a single emergency telephone number (emergency services number), that allows a caller to contact local emergency services for assistance when required. The emergency telephone number may differ from country to country. It is typically a three-digit number so that it can be easily remembered
and dialed quickly. Some countries have a different emergency number for each of the different emergency services.
You can specify the digits to dial on the IP phone for contacting emergency services. Once you specify the emergency
number(s) on the phone, you can dial those numbers directly on the keypad when required and the phone automatically
dials to those emergency services.
You can set the emergency dial plan using the Aastra Web UI only.
Note:
Contact your local phone service provider for available emergency numbers in your area.
The following table describes the default emergency numbers on the IP phones.
Emergency Number

Description

911

A United States emergency number.

999

A United Kingdom emergency number.

112

An international emergency telephone number for GSM mobile phone networks.
In all European Union countries it is also the emergency telephone number for both mobile and fixed-line telephones.

110

A police and/or fire emergency number in Asia, Europe, Middle East, and South America.

Busy Lamp Field (BLF) Key
Note:
BLF feature availability is dependant on your call manager. Contact your System Administrator for more information.
The BLF feature on the IP phones allows a specific extension to be monitored for state changes. BLF monitors the status
(busy or idle) of extensions on the IP phone.
For example, a Supervisor configures BLFs on his phone for monitoring the status of a co-worker’s phone use (busy or idle).
If the co-worker’s phone is in an idle state, the BLF key’s LED on the Supervisor’s phone is off. If the co-worker is on a call or
when the co-worker picks up his phone to make a call, the BLF key’s LED on the Supervisor’s phone turns on and is solid,
indicating that the worker’s phone is in use and busy.
Note:
You can also use a BLF-configured key to automatically dial the BLF-monitored extension. Contact your System Administrator for more information.

BLF/List Key
Note:
For use with the BroadSoft BroadWorks Release 13 or higher platform only. Your System Administrator must have
BLF/List enabled on the BroadWorks call manager. Contact your System Administrator for more information.
The BLF/List feature on the IP phones is specifically designed to support the BroadSoft BroadWorks Release 13 Busy
Lamp Field feature.
This feature allows the IP phone to subscribe to a list of monitored users defined through the BroadWorks web portal.
In addition to monitoring the idle and busy state, the BLF/List feature also supports the ringing state. When the monitored user is idle, the corresponding key’s LED is off. When the monitored user’s phone is ringing, the corresponding
key’s LED flashes. Finally, when the monitored user on an active call or is attempting to make a call, the corresponding
key’s LED turns solid.
Notes:
• You can use a BLF/List-configured key to automatically dial out to the configured extension.
• The BroadWorks BLF feature is not the same as the BroadWorks Shared Call Appearance (SCA) feature and does not
permit call control over the monitored extension.

Configuring a BLF/List Key Using the Aastra Web UI
If you set a key to use BLF/List, you must also enter a BLF List URI at Operation > Programmable Keys > Services. The BLF
List URI is the name of the BLF list defined on the BroadSoft BroadWorks Busy Lamp field page for your particular user.
For example, sip:9@192.168.104.13. The value of the BLF List URI parameter must match the list name configured. Otherwise, no values display on the 6865i screen and the feature is disabled.

Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) Key (for Sylantro Call Managers)
The 6865i supports Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) for Sylantro call managers. The ACD feature allows the Sylantro call
manager to distribute calls from a queue to registered IP phone users (agents).
To use the ACD feature on an IP phone, you must first configure an ACD key. When you want to subscribe to a queue (in
order to receive incoming calls), you press the ACD key and the IP phone UI prompts you to log in. An Avail key displays
allowing you to make your phone available to accept these calls.
When you are on an active call, or you miss a call, the server automatically changes the phone’s status to unavailable. The
server updates its database with this new information and no longer distributes calls to the phone. The phone remains in
this unavailable state until:
• You make yourself available again by pressing the Avail key
• An ACD timer expires (set by your System Administrator).
You can also choose to manually change the phone status to unavailable by pressing the Unavail key on the phone.
The ACD key LED changes when you log into the phone queue and are available to take calls. The LED changes again
when you are busy with an active call. The table below shows the status of the LED as they may appear on your IP phone.
Status: Logged In and Available

Status: Unavailable

If your IP phone status is set to Available then the server begins to distribute phone calls from this queue to your IP
phone. You must manually change the state to Available in order to start receiving calls.
5. To temporarily stop receiving calls, press the press 2 Unavail.
If you are on a call (or miss a call that has been distributed to your phone), your phone status automatically changes
to Unavailable. Your phone remains in the Unavailable state until one of the following occurs:
• You use the IP Phone UI to manually switch the IP phone state back to available.
or
• The availability timer for your IP phone expires. This only occurs if your Administrator has configured an autoavailability timer on your IP phone. Contact your System Administrator for more information.
6. To logout of the queue, press 4 Logout.
The server no longer distributes phone calls to your IP phone.

You can configure a Paging key on the phone that allows you to send a Real Time Transport Protocol (RTP) stream to preconfigured multicast address(es) without involving SIP signalling. You enter a multicast IP address(es) and a port number
for the Paging key, that when pressed, initiates an outgoing multicast RTP session. This is called Group Paging on the IP
phones.
You can also specify group paging RTP addresses that the phone listens for when receiving RTP streams. You can specify
up to 5 listening multicast addresses at the path, Basic Settings > Preferences > Group Paging RTP Settings.
For more information about Group Paging and how it works, and to specify multicast addresses, see “Group RTP Paging”

DND and Call Forward
The 6865i has a feature that allows you to configure Do Not Disurb (DND) and Call Forward (CFWD) for multiple accounts
on the phone. You can set specific modes for the way you want the phone to handle DND and CFWD. The three modes you
can set on the phone for these features are:
• Account
• Phone
• Custom
The following paragraphs describe account-based DND and CFWD:
• DND Configuration
• Call Forward Configuration

DND Configuration
Do Not Disturb (DND) is a feature on the phone that prevents the phone from ringing and receiving incoming calls. When
DND is enabled with CFWD, any incoming calls can be call forwarded to voicemail or another number. See “Call Forward
Configuration” on page 124 for more information about call forwarding to other numbers.
On the 6865i, you can set DND on the phone-side for a specific account or for all accounts on the phone. You can set three
modes for DND using the Aastra Web UI at the path, Basic Settings > Preferences > General > DND Key Mode: Account, Phone
(default), and Custom. DND performs according to the mode you set.
You can then configure a DND key for the phone using the Aastra Web UI at the path, Operation > Programmable Keys. You
can enable and disable DND by toggling the key or by setting DND for a specific account at the path,
Basic Settings > Account Configuration. Once you enable DND, DND On displays on the LCD for the applicable account.

The illustration above shows 2 accounts configured on the phone. Accounts must be set up by your System Administrator.
5. For each account, enable the CFWD state by placing a check mark in one or more of the following State fields:
• All
• Busy
• No Answer
The All option forwards all incoming calls for this account to the specified phone number regardless of the state of
the phone. The phone can be in the Busy or No Answer states, or can be in the idle state. The phone still forwards
all calls to the specified number.
The Busy option call forwards incoming calls only if the account is in the busy state. The calls are forwarded to the
specified phone number.
The No Answer option call forwards incoming calls only if the account rings but is not answered in the defined
number of rings. The call gets forwarded to the specified number.
Note:
You can use the Busy and No Answer states together using different forwarding phone numbers. If these states are
enabled for an account (the All state is disabled), and the phone is in the busy state when a call comes in, the phone
can forward the call to the specified phone number (e.g. voicemail). If there is no answer on the phone after the
specified number of rings, the phone can forward the call to a different specified number, such as a cell phone
number.

different phone numbers for each enabled state.
If you selected Phone mode, all accounts are set to the same CFWD configuration (All, Busy, and/or No Answer)
as Account 1 on the phone. (In the Aastra Web UI, only Account 1 is enabled. All other accounts are grayed out
but use the same configuration as Account 1).
Using the Aastra Web UI, if you make changes to Account 1, the changes apply to all accounts on the phone.
Using the IP phone UI, if you make changes to any other account other then Account 1, the changes also apply
to all accounts on the phone. When enabling a CFWD state, you must specify a phone number for the phone to
CFWD to. The number you specify applies to all accounts of the same mode.

Additional Features
This section describes additional features you can use on the 6865i phone.

Display DTMF Digits
A feature on the IP phones allows users to enable or disable DTMF (dual-tone multi-frequency) digits to display to the IP
phone when using the keypad to dial, or when dialing from a programmed key.
DTMF is the signal sent from the phone to the network that you generate when you press the phone’s touch keys. This is
also known as touch-tone dialing. Each key you press on your phone generates two tones of specific frequencies. One
tone is generated from a high-frequency group of tones and the other from a low frequency group.
If you enable the Display DTMF Digits parameter, the digits you are dialing from the keypad or from a programmable key
display to the IP phone’s LCD display. This parameter is disabled by default (no digits display when dialing).
You can enable the Display DTMF Digits parameter using the Aastra Web UI.

Configuring Display of DTMF Digits
Aastra Web UI
1. Click on Basic Settings > Preferences > General.

2. Enable the Display DTMF Digits field by checking the check box.

Additional Features

Preferred Line and Preferred Line Timeout
The 6865i has a feature called preferred line and preferred line timeout. If you enable the preferred line parameter on
your phone, after a call ends (incoming or outgoing), the display switches back to the preferred line. Next time you go
off-hook to make another call, you pickup on the preferred line. You can enable the Preferred Line parameter using the
Aastra Web UI at the location, Basic Settings > Preferences > General. You can also set a Preferred Line Timeout parameter that specifies the number of seconds it takes for the phone to switch back to the preferred line.
The following table provides the behavior of the preferred line focus feature with other features on the phone:
Phone Feature

Redial

The phone switches back immediately after the call ends.

Dialing

For incomplete dialing on a non-preferred line, the focus does not change if some digits are entered.
If no digits are entered or digits were cleared, the focus changes to preferred line after the time out has passed
without activities.

Caller ID

If the Switch UI Focus To Ringing Line parameter is disabled, the User is able to see the Caller ID when the phone
switches the focus to the ringing line.

149

Additional Features

Incoming Intercom Call Features
By default, the IP phone allows incoming intercom calls to be automatically answered without having to set up an Icom
key on your phone. The phone automatically plays a warning tone when it receives an incoming intercom call. It also
mutes the microphone. If the intercom call comes into the phone while an active call is already present, the phone puts
the active call on hold and answers the intercom call.
You can change the behavior of how the phone handles incoming intercom calls by enabling/disabling specific parameters using the Aastra Web UI.
• Auto Answer
• Microphone Mute
• Play Warning Tone
• Allow Barge In

Auto-Answer/Play Warning Tone
The auto-answer feature on the IP phone allows you to enable or disable automatic answering for an Intercom call. If
Auto-Answer is enabled, the phone automatically answers an incoming intercom call. If Play Warning Tone is also enabled, the phone plays a tone to alert you before answering the intercom call. If Auto-Answer is disabled, the phone
treats the incoming intercom call as a normal call. Auto-Answer and Play Warning Tone are enabled by default.
Note:
Your Administrator can set a time period delay before the phone automatically answers. Contact your System Administrator for more information.

Microphone Mute
You can mute or unmute the microphone on the IP phone for intercom calls made by the originating caller. If you want
to mute the intercom call, you enable this feature. If you want to unmute (or hear the intercom call), you disable this feature. Microphone Mute is enabled by default.

Allow Barge In
You can configure whether or not the IP phone allows an incoming intercom call to interrupt an active call. The Allow
Barge In parameter controls this feature. When you enable the this parameter, which is the default value, an incoming
intercom call takes precedence over any active call, by placing the active call on hold and automatically answering the
intercom call. When you disable this parameter, and there is an active call, the phone treats an incoming intercom call
like a normal call and plays the call warning tone. Allow Barge In is enabled by default.

150

41-001523-00 REV00 – 04.2014

Additional Features
Configuring Incoming Intercom Settings
Aastra Web UI
1. Click on Basic Settings > Preferences > Incoming Intercom Settings.

2. The Auto-Answer field is enabled by default. The automatic answering feature is turned on for the IP phone for
answering Intercom calls. To disable this field, uncheck the box.
Note:
If the Auto-Answer field is not checked (disabled), the phone treats the incoming intercom call as a normal call.
3. The Microphone Mute field is enabled by default. The microphone is muted on the IP phone for Intercom calls made
by the originating caller. To disable this field, uncheck the box.
4. The Play Warning Tone field is enabled by default. If Auto-Answer is enabled, the phone plays a warning tone when
it receives in incoming intercom call. To disable this field, uncheck the box.
5. The Allow Barge In field is enabled by default. If Allow Barge In is enabled, the phone puts an active call on hold and
answers the incoming Intercom call. To disable this field, uncheck the box.
6. Click Save Settings.

41-001523-00 REV00 – 04.2014

151

Additional Features

Group RTP Paging
You can configure the phone to allow it to receive a Real Time Transport Protocol (RTP) stream from pre-configured multicast address(es) without involving SIP signalling. This is called Group Paging on the IP phones. You can specify up to 5
multicast addresses that the phone listens for on the network. This feature is configurable using the Aastra Web UI only.
The 6865i in the local network listens for RTP on the pre-configured multicast address. The phone displays the Paging
message to the phone’s LCD. It uses the G711 uLaw CODEC for multicast RTP.
The recipient can drop the incoming page if required. The recipient can also set DND to ignore any incoming pages.
For incoming RTP multicasts, the ringing display is dependant on the setting for the Allow Barge In parameter (see
“Allow Barge In” on page 150) If this parameter is disabled, and there is no other call on the phone, then the paging is
automatically played via the default audio device.
If there is an existing call on the phone, the call initially displays in the ringing state. The user has the option to
accept/ignore the call. If the Allow Barge In parameter is enabled, the RTP multicast call barges in, and any existing calls
are put on hold.
If an RTP multicast session already exists on the phone, and the phone receives another incoming RTP multicast session,
the priority is given to the first multicast session and the second multicast session is ignored. The behavior for the incoming calls in this case is also based on the setting for the Allow Barge In parameter. The incoming call is handled as if there
were an existing call already on the phone.

Configuring Group RTP Paging
Aastra Web UI
1. Click on Basic Settings > Preferences > Group Paging RTP Settings.

2. In the Paging Listen Addresses text box, enter the multicast IP address(es) and port number on which the phone
listens for incoming multicast RTP packets.
Enter the IP address in dotted decimal format.
(for example, 239.0.1.15:10000,239.0.1.20:15000)
You can enter up to 5 listening multicast addresses.
If this field is blank, the paging listening capability is disabled on the phone.
Notes:
• Recipient of a paging call can set a global DND to ignore any incoming pages.
• For incoming paging, the phone uses the Intercom configuration settings. The incoming page is dependant on
the Allow Barge In parameter setting and the idling/on call state.
3. Click Save Settings.

41-001523-00 REV00 – 04.2014

Additional Features

Shared Call Appearance (SCA) Call Bridging
Shared Call Appearance (SCA) is when incoming calls are presented to multiple phones simultaneously. For example, it is
the ability to assign the boss' extension to a key on the secretary's phone. Calls can be transferred between two phones
with the same extension key by simply putting the call on hold at one phone and picking it up on the other. Status LEDs
light and flash in unison, allowing all people sharing the extension to see the status at a glance.
The phones include an enhanced SCA for the servers that support call bridging and allows two or more SCA users to be
connected in a call with a third party. Refer to the following example:

Phone A calls the SCA number and
all the phones in the SCA environment
ring.

Note: A user can place a call on hold while in an SCA bridged call, by pressing the SCA line key.

SCA phone 1 answers.
When 2 and 3 pickup,
1 can hangup.
SCA phone 2 joins by
pressing SCA line. When
phone 1 hangs up, 2 is still
connected. Phone 2 can
press the line key to
put SCA call on hold
leaving 3 still connected
to 1.
SCA phone 3 joins by
pressing SCA line. When
phone 1 hangs up, 3 is still
connected. Phone 3 can
press the line key to
put SCA call on hold
leaving 2 still connected
to 1.

Using the example above, when a call comes into Phone 1, Phone 2 and Phone 3 can pickup the same call by pressing the
SCA line key. Phone 2 and 3 display the call they are bridging into on the LCD of the phones. Existing SCA parties in a
bridge or one-to-one call hear an audible beep when another party has joined the call.
Note:
Your Administrator must enable/disable the beep on the server-side.
If a phone is configured for SCA bridging and it attempts to join a call, but the account on the server does not have this
functionality enabled, an error message displays to the LCD on the phone.
The SCA call bridging feature is disabled by default on all phones. Your Administrator can enable/disable this feature if
required. Contact your System Administrator for more information.
Keys States and LED Behavior
There are two call states on the phones that support SCA bridging:
• Bridge-active - A bridged call is in progress
• Bridge-held - The 3rd-party (i.e., non-SCA party) in the bridge is on hold.
The following tables provide the key states and LED behavior in an SCA bridge call for users involved in an SCA call and
users not involved in the SCA call.

Troubleshooting Solutions
Why is my display blank?
Ensure that power is being provided to your phone. See the Connecting to the Network and to Power section in the
Aastra 6865i Installation Guide for details.

Why can’t I get a dial tone?
Check for any loose connections and that the phone has been installed properly. For installation instructions, please refer
to the Installation and Setup section in the Aastra 6865i Installation Guide provided with your phone.

Why doesn’t my phone ring?
Check the ring volume on your phone. It may be turned down or turned off. To adjust the ringer volume setting, press the
volume button when the phone is on-hook and idle.

Why is the light not coming on with a new voicemail message?
Your phone system or service provider must provide the visual message waiting service for this function to work. Check
with your System Administrator for more information.

Why is my handset not working?
Check to ensure that the handset cord is fully connected to both the phone and handset. See the section Connecting a
Handset in the Aastra 6865i Installation Guide for information.

How do I find the IP address of my phone?
Instructions on where to find the IP address of your phone can be found in this guide in the section, “Finding Your Phone’s
IP Address” on page 16.

Why does my phone display the No Service message?
The phone displays the No Service message if the SIP settings have not been set up correctly. Contact your System
Administrator for more information.

How do I change my user password?
You can change the user password from the IP phone UI or the Aastra Web UI. See “User Password” on page 37 for more
information.

Why does my phone display Bad Encrypted Config?
The IP phone displays Bad Encrypted Config because encrypted configuration files are enabled but the decryption process has failed. Report this error to your System Administrator.

How do I restart the IP phone?
You can restart the phone from the IP phone UI or through the Aastra Web UI. See “Restarting Your Phone” on page 39 for
more information.

How do I lock my phone?
