A basic requirement for setting up the IP phone is to have a configuration server.
The configuration server allows you to:
•

Store the firmware images that you need to download to your IP phone.

•

Stores configuration files for the IP phone

•

Stores the software when performing software upgrades to the IP phone
Note: If you use TFTP, the configuration server must be able to accept
connections anonymously.

Firmware and Configuration Files

Firmware and Configuration Files
Description
When the IP phone is initialized for the first time, DHCP is enabled by default
allowing the phone to automatically get its IP address from the network. Upon
bootup, the phone also automatically updates it firmware and configuration files
from the configuration server using the default TFTP protocol.
The IP Phones support TFTP, FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS as download protocols.
You can change the protocol server that you use to download firmware and
configuration files, and can perform the download manually or configure the
phone to download them automatically.

ra

t1

Note: Automatic download is dependant on your configuration server
setup. For more information about manual and automatic download of
firmware, see Chapter 8, “Upgrading the Firmware.” For more
information on changing the download protocol on your phone, see
Chapter 4, the section, “Configuring the Configuration Server Protocol”
on page 4-108.

D

The firmware consists of a single file called:
• .st (for example, 55i.st (for 6755i)) - This file contains
information about the specific IP Phone model and contains the language
packs to load to the phone.
The configuration files consist of two files called:
• aastra.cfg - This file contains configuration information about the IP Phone.
• .cfg (for example, 00085D1610DE.cfg) - This file contains
configuration information about the IP Phone.

Configuration File Precedence
Aastra IP phones can accept two sources of configuration data:
•

The server configuration most recently downloaded/cached from the
configuration server files, aastra.cfg/.cfg (or the aastra.tuz/.tuz
encrypted equivalents).

•

Local configuration changes stored on the phone that were entered using
either the IP phone UI or the Aastra Web UI

In the event of conflicting values set by the different methods, values are applied
in the following sequence:
Default values hard-coded in the phone software

2.

Values downloaded from the configuration server

3.

Values stored locally on the phone

t1

1.

ra
f

The last values to be applied to the phone configuration are the values that take
effect.

For example, if a parameter’s value is set in the local configuration (via Aastra
Web UI or IP phone UI) and the same value was also set differently in one of the
.cfg/aastra.cfg files on the configuration server, the local configuration
value is the value that takes effect because that is the last value applied to the
configuration.

IP Phone Administrator Guide
Configuration Methods

Aastra Web UI
An administrator can setup and configure the IP phone using the Aastra Web UI.
The Aastra Web UI supports Internet Explorer and Gecko engine-based browsers
like Firefox, Mozilla or Netscape.
Note: An Administrator can enable or disable the Aastra Web UI for a
single phone or all phones in a network. For more information about
enabling/disabling the Aastra Web UI, see “Enabling/Disabling the
Aastra Web UI” on page 2-16.

HTTP/HTTPS Support

t1

The Aastra Web UI supports both Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and
Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer (HTTPS) client and server
protocols.

ra
f

HTTP is the set of rules for transferring files (text, graphic images, sound,
video, and other multimedia files) over the Internet. When you open your
Web browser, you are indirectly making use of HTTP. HTTP is an
application protocol that runs on top of the TCP/IP suite of protocols (the
foundation protocols for the Internet).

D

HTTPS is a Web protocol that encrypts and decrypts user page requests as well as
the pages that are returned by the Web server. HTTPS uses Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) as a sublayer under its regular HTTP
application layering. SSL is a commonly-used protocol for managing the
security of a message transmission on the Internet. It uses a 40-bit key size
for the RC4 stream encryption algorithm, which is considered an adequate degree
of encryption for commercial exchange. TLS is a protocol that ensures privacy
between communicating applications and their users on the Internet. When a
server and client communicate, TLS ensures that no third party may eavesdrop or
tamper with any message. TLS is the successor to SSL.
Note: HTTPS uses port 443 instead of HTTP port 80 in its interactions
with the TCP/IP lower layer. Both the HTTP and HTTPS port numbers
are configurable using the configuration files, the IP Phone UI, the Aastra
Web UI and DHCP Option 66. For more information about configuring
these ports, see Chapter 4, the section, “Configuring the Configuration
Server Protocol” on page 4-108.

HTTP/HTTPS Client and Server Support
The Aastra IP phones allow for HTTP request processing and associated data
transfers to perform over a secure connection (HTTPS). The IP phones support
the following:
•

Transfer of firmware images, configuration files, script files, and web page
content over a secure connection.

•

Web browser phone configuration over a secure connection.

•

TLS 1.0or SSL 3.0 methods for both client and server

HTTPS Client

t1

When an HTTPS client opens and closes its TCP socket, the SSL software
respectively handshakes upon opening and disconnects upon closing from the
HTTPS server. The main HTTPS client functions are:
Downloading of configuration files and firmware images.

•

Downloading of script files based on an “HTTPS://” URL supplied by a
softkey definition.

Non-Blocking HTTP Connections
The IP Phones support a non-blocking HTTP connection feature. This feature

allows the user to continue using the phone when there is a delay during an
HTTP connection while the phone is waiting for the HTTP server to
respond. This feature also allows a user to abort the connection and perform other
operations on the phone (which will abort the HTTP connection automatically). A
user can also abort the HTTP loading by pressing the GOODBYE key while the
phone is displaying “Loading Page.......”.
Note: This feature impacts only the HTTP calls triggered by a phone key
(softkey or programmable key); the HTTP calls performed by action
URIs are still blocking.

Authentication Support for HTTP/HTTPS Download Methods for
Broadsoft Client Management System (CMS)

D

ra
f

The IP Phones have authentication support per RFC 2617 when using HTTP or
HTTPS as download protocols. If a 5i Series phone is challenged by an HTTP or
HTTPS server when the server attempts to download the aastra.cfg file, the phone
automatically sends "aastra" as the default Username and Password back to the
server. For more information about this feature, see Chapter 5, the section,
“Authentication Support for HTTP/HTTPS Download Methods, used with
Broadsoft Client Management System (CMS)” on page 5-365.

Using HTTPS via the Aastra Web UI
HTTPS is enabled by default on the IP phones. When you open a browser window
and enter an IP address or host name for a phone using HTTP, a server redirection
occurs which automatically converts an HTTP connection to an HTTPS
connection. After the redirection, a “Security Alert” certificate window displays
alerting the user that information exchanged with the phone cannot be viewed or
changed by others. Accepting the certificate then forwards you to the phone’s Web
UI.
Notes:
1. The private key and certificate generate outside the phone and embed
in the phone firmware for use by the HTTPS server during the SSL
handshake.

ra

t1

2. Using the configuration files, the IP phone UI, or the Aastra Web UI,
you can configure the following regarding HTTPS:
- Specify HTTPS security client method to use (TLS 1.0 or SSL 3.0)
- Enable or disable HTTP to HTTPS server redirect function
- HTTPS server blocking of XML HTTP POSTS to the phone

Using the Configuration Files

When you use the configuration files to configure the IP phones, you must use a
text-based editing application to open the configuration file (aastra.cfg or
.cfg).

D

Use the following procedure to add, delete, or change parameters and their
settings in the configuration files.
Note: Apply this procedure wherever this Administrator Guide refers to
configuring parameters using the configuration files.

Configuration files
Step

Action

1

Using a text-based editing application, open the configuration file for the phone, for which you want to
configure the directory list (either aastra.cfg, .cfg or both).

2

Enter the required configuration parameters followed by the applicable value. For example,
directory 1: company_directory
directory 2: my_personal_directory

3

Save the changes and close the configuration file.

4

If the parameter requires the phone to be restarted in order for it to take affect, use the
IP Phone UI or the Aastra Web UI to restart the phone.

t1

Locking Parameters in the Configuration File

ra
f

The IP Phones allow you to lock individual configuration parameters to prevent
an end user from changing the configuration on the phone. This feature allows
service providers to prevent the end-user from changing the values of specific
parameters that would affect the service they provide.
An Administrator can lock parameters on the phone by placing an exclamation
mark (!) before the parameter in the configuration file. For example,

D

!admin password: 22222
!emergency dial plan: 911|999

You can lock parameters on the phone using the configuration files only. Once the
parameters are locked, they cannot be changed at all during the phones run-time.
The parameters appear as read-only when accessing the Aastra Web UI and the IP
Phone UI. In the Aastra Web UI, they appear grayed out. In the IP Phone UI the
ability to change the parameters is removed. In addition, when parameters are
locked, they cannot be changed via XML.

Configuration Interface Methods

Configuration Methods

Notes:
1.
The “parameter locking” feature applies to Release 2.4 and up. Any
phones that have a previous release loaded on the phone will not be able
to use the locking functionality in the configuration file.
2.
Any parameter duplicated in the mac.cfg from the aastra.cfg is
overwritten by the locking status and the value of the parameter found in
the mac.cfg file.

Limitations
A User possessing the Administrator password can bypass the locking of
configuration server details by defaulting the phone.

•

Parameters cannot be locked using XML.

•

Configuration files that include locked parameters are not backwards
compatible

send out SIP signaling packets.

t1

Notes:
1. If you set the value of this parameter to 4
(TLS), the phone checks to see if the “sips
persistent tls” is enabled. If it is enabled, the
phone uses Persistent TLS on the connection.
If “sips persistent tls” is disabled, then the
phone uses TLS on the connection. If TLS is
used, you must specify the Root and
Intermediate Certificates, the Local Certificate,
the Private Key, and the Trusted Certificates.

2. If the phone uses Persistent TLS, you
MUST specify the Trusted Certificates; the
Root and Intermediate Certificates, the Local
Certificate, and the Private Key are optional.

For more information, see Chapter 4,
“Advanced SIP Settings (optional)” on
page 4-84.

sip local port

D

Local SIP UDP/TCP Port

Specifies the local source port (UDP/TCP)
from which the phone sends SIP messages.
Notes:
1. It is recommended that you avoid the
conflict RTP port range in case of a UDP
transport.
2. By default, the IP phones use symmetric
UDP signaling for outgoing UDP SIP
messages. When symmetric UDP is enabled,
the IP phone generates and listens for UDP
messages using port 5060.If symmetric UDP
signaling is disabled, the phone sends from
random ports but it listens on the configured
SIP local port.

XML SIP Notify Events and Action URIs

ra
f

In order for an XML push to bypass the NAT/firewall, the phone supports a
proprietary SIP NOTIFY event (aastra-xml) with or without XML content.
If XML content is provided in the SIP NOTIFY, it is processed directly by the
phone as it is done for an XML PUSH.

D

Reference

For more information about enabling the XML SIP Notify on the IP Phones, see
Chapter 5, the section, “XML SIP Notify Events” on page 5-339.
Polling Action URIs
Another way to reach a phone behind a NAT/firewall is to have the phone make an
XML call at periodic intervals. An Administrator can use the action uri poll to
command the phone to perform an XML call at configurable intervals.
An Administrator can specify the URI to be called and specify the interval
between polls. Configuration of this feature is dynamic (no reboot required).

URIs, see “Polling Action URIs” on page 5-334.

TLS Support
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. An Administrator can configure the
following parameters for TLS Support.
Parameter
In
IP Phone UI

Transport Protocol

Parameters in
Configuration Files
sip transport protocol

Description
Specifies the protocol that the RTP port on the
IP phone uses to send out SIP signaling
packets. Default is USP.
Notes:
1. If you set the value of this parameter to 4
(TLS), the phone checks to see if the “sips
persistent tls” is enabled. If it is enabled, the
phone uses Persistent TLS on the connection.
If “sips persistent tls” is disabled, then the
phone uses TLS on the connection. If TLS is
used, you must specify the Root and
Intermediate Certificates, the Local Certificate,
the Private Key, and the Trusted Certificates.
2. If the phone uses Persistent TLS, you
MUST specify the Trusted Certificates; the
Root and Intermediate Certificates, the Local
Certificate, and the Private Key are optional.

Parameters in

sips persistent tls

Description
Enables or disables the use of Persistent
Transport Layer Security (TLS).

t1

Persistent TLS sets up the connection to the
server once and re-uses that connection for all
calls from the phone. The setup connection for
Persistent TLS is established during the
registration of the phone. If the phones are set
to use Persistent TLS, and a call is made from
the phone, this call and all subsequent calls
use the same authenticated connection. This
significantly reduces the delay time when
placing a call.

D

ra
f

Notes:
1. 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.
The phone establishes the TLS connection to
the configured outbound proxy.
2. If you configure the phone to use
Persistent TLS, you must also specify the
Trusted Certificate file to use. The Root and
Intermediate Certificates, Local Certificate,
and Private Key files are optional.
For more information, see Chapter 6, the

Overview

Overview
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
Appendix A, the section “Password Settings” on page A-15.

t1

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, see
Appendix A, “Configuration Parameters.”

ra
f

To configure the phone using the IP phone UI, you must enter an administrator
password. To configure the phone using the Aastra Web UI, you must enter an
administrator username and password.

D

Note: In the IP phone UI, the default password is "22222". In the
Aastra Web UI, the default admin username is "Admin" and the default
password is "22222".

DHCP Options 60, 66, and 43 Server Configurations
Option 66
The IP Phones support download protocols according to RFC2131 and RFC1541
(TFTP, FTP, HTTP,. HTTPS) to support DHCP option 66. Option 66 is part of the
DHCP Offer message that the DHCP server generates to tell the phone which
configuration server it should use to download new firmware and configuration
files.

Options 60 and 43

t1

For DHCP to automatically populate the IP address or domain name for the
servers, your DHCP server must support Option 66. Option 66 is responsible for
forwarding the server’s IP address or domain name to the phone automatically. If
your DHCP server does not support Option 66, you must manually enter the IP
address or domain name for your applicable configuration server into your IP
phone configuration.

ra
f

The Aastra phones also support Option 60 and Option 43 as per RFC 2132.
Option 60 (Vendor Class Identifier) provides the DHCP server with a unique
identifier for each phone model. This enables a system administrator to send the
phone a customized Server Configuration in option 43.

Using Option 12 Hostname on the IP Phone
If you set the phone to use DHCP Option 12, the phone automatically sends this
option to the configuration server. This option specifies the hostname (name of the
client). The name may or may not be qualified with the local domain name (based
on RFC 2132). See RFC 1035 for character set restrictions.
Notes:
1.
The hostname of [] automatically
populates the field on initial startup of the phone. For example, for a
6753i, the “Hostname” field is automatically populated as
“53i00085D164435”, where the model number is “6753i” and the MAC
address is “00085D164435”.

Using Option 77 User Class on the IP Phone
DHCP Option 77 User Class is sent in DHCP request packets from the phone to
the configuration server. This Option 77 defines specific User Class identifiers to
convey information about a phone’s software configuration or about its user's
preferences. For example, you can use the User Class option to configure all
phones in the Accounting Department with different user preferences than the
phones in the Marketing Department. A DHCP server uses the User Class option
to choose the address pool for which it allocates an address from, and/or to select
any other configuration option.
Notes:
1.
If the User Class is not specified (left blank) in the DHCP request
packet, the phone does not send the User Class DHCP Option 77.

Multiple User Classes inside a DHCP Option 77 are not supported.

Using Options 159 and 160 on the IP Phone
In addition to DHCP options 43 and 66 already supported on the IP Phones, the
phones also support DHCP Options 159 and 160. The IP Phones use the following
order of precedence when deriving the configuration server parameters: 43, 160,
159, 66.
In addition, an administrator can override this order of precedence by setting a
configuration parameter called, dhcp config option override (configuration
files), DHCP Download Options (Aastra Web UI), or Download Options (IP
Phone UI). Setting this parameter results in the phone only using the chosen
DHCP option and ignoring the other options.

Multiple DHCP Servers
The IP Phones can receive messages from multiple DHCP servers.
After the phone receives its first DHCP message, it listens for a specific time
period, for more DHCP messages. If the first DHCP offer contains configuration
server information (Options 43, 66, 159 or 160), then the phone times out and
continues using the first DHCP offer, without listening for more DHCP offers. If
the first DHCP message contains no configuration server information, the phone
continues to listen for other DHCP messages. If the second DHCP message
contains configuration server information and other conditions, the phone chooses
the second DHCP message over the initial DHCP message.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Configuring LAN and PC Port Negotiation
Ethernet is the computer networking technology for local area networks (LANs).
You use the LAN Port to connect to a LAN using a twisted pair 10BASE-T cable
to transmit 10BASE-T Ethernet. You use the PC Port to connect to the
configuration server (your PC).
There are two Ethernet ports on the rear of the IP phones: LAN Port and PC Port.
Using the Aastra Web UI, you can select the type of transmission you want these
ports to use to communicate over the LAN. The IP phones support each of the
following methods of transmission:
Auto-negotiation

•

Half-duplex (10Mbps or 100 Mbps)

•

Full-duplex (10Mbps or 100Mbps)

Auto-negotiation

t1

•

D

ra
f

Auto-negotiation is when two connected devices choose common transmission
parameters. In the auto-negotiation process, the connected devices share their
speed and duplex capabilities and connect at the highest common denominator
(HCD). Auto-negotiation can be used by devices that are capable of different
transmission rates (such as 10Mbit/sec and 100Mbit/sec), different duplex modes
(half duplex and full duplex) and/or different standards at the same speed. You can
set the LAN and PC Ports on the IP phones to auto-negotiate during transmission.
Half-Duplex (10Mbps or 100Mbps)
Half-duplex data transmission means that data can be transmitted in both
directions on a signal carrier, but not at the same time. For example, on a LAN
using a technology that has half-duplex transmission, one device can send data on
the line and then immediately receive data on the line from the same direction in
which data was just transmitted. Half-duplex transmission implies a bidirectional
line (one that can carry data in both directions). On the IP phones, you can set the
half-duplex transmission to transmit in 10Mbps or in 100Mbps.

Full-Duplex (10Mbps or 100Mbps)
Full-duplex data transmission means that data can be transmitted in both
directions on a signal carrier at the same time. For example, on a LAN with a
technology that has full-duplex transmission, one device can be sending data on
the line while another device is receiving data. Full-duplex transmission implies a
bidirectional line (one that can move data in both directions). On the IP phones,
you can set the full-duplex transmission to transmit in 10Mbps or in 100Mbps.

Nortel Proxy/Registrar
The phone at IP address 10.10.10.10 is configured to register with the proxy at
63.251.195.10. Because it is a Nortel proxy, the configuration must additionally
include the "sip nortel nat support" and "sip nortel nat timer" settings, telling the
firmware to enhance the protocols with Nortel specific content.
Note: This IP phone uses RTP port 3000 (the default value) since an RTP
port was not explicitly configured.

SBC or ALG proxy/registrar

t1

The phone at IP address 10.10.10.20 is configured to register with the proxy at
63.251.195.20. Because the proxy/registrar has session border control (SBC) or
application layer gateway (ALG) functionality, no additional IP phone
configuration is required.

ra
f

Other proxy/registrars

D

The phone at IP address 10.10.10.30 is configured to register with the proxy at
63.251.195.30. Because this proxy/registrar is not a Nortel proxy and has no SBC
or ALG functionality, the configuration must additionally include the "sip nat ip"
and "sip nat port" settings that contain the public ip address of the NAT router and
the port used for call signaling messages. This information is embedded in
protocol messages to allow the proxy/registrar to reach the IP phone on the NAT
router private network.
NAT router configuration
You must configure the NAT router to allow signaling or media packets
containing the various UDP port values to flow between the private and public
networks that are separated by the NAT router. In the sample network, the NAT
router must not filter packets using ports 3000, 5060, 6060, 16420, and 16430.

Nortel Networks NAT
Nortel Networks provides a proprietary solution to support connectivity to their
proxies from phones placed behind devices (such as routers or firewalls) that use
NAT. Nortel uses the SIP ping request/reply between the Nortel proxy and the
phone in order to keep the connection through the router or firewall active. A SIP
Nortel NAT timer is the interval, in seconds (default is 60), that the phone sends
SIP ping requests to the Nortel proxy.

ra
f

t1

When you use NAT in your network, a network device (usually a router) provides
a “firewall” division between the public network (usually the Internet) and the
private network, to which the IP Phones are connected. The firewall protects the
network by translating port numbers within packets between the public and
private networks. When using NAT, and an RTP packet arrives at the public side
of the firewall, it is expected to have the NAT RTP port within the packet. If the
packet contains the proper port number, the firewall changes the NAT RTP port
number in the packet to the RTP port number that the phone recognizes, and then
forwards it onto the private network. Often the router/firewall automatically
discovers these various port numbers and other information concerning public and
private sides of the network with the use of the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Protocol between the phone and the router/firewall.

SIP and TLS Source Ports for NAT Traversal
A System Administrator can configure the SIP and TLS source ports on the IP
Phone. Previously, the IP phone used default values (5060 for UDP/TCP and 5061
for TLS). The two new parameters for configuring the SIP and TLS source ports
are:
•

sip local port

•

sip local tls port

You can configure the SIP and TLS source ports using the configuration files or
the Aastra Web UI. After configuring these parameters, you must reboot the

Note: By default, the IP phones use symmetric UDP signaling for
outgoing UDP SIP messages. When symmetric UDP is enabled, the IP
phone generates and listens for UDP messages using port 5060.If
symmetric UDP signaling is disabled, the phone sends from random
ports but it listens on the configured SIP local port.

HTTPS Client/Server Configuration

ra

t1

HTTPS is a Web protocol that encrypts and decrypts user page requests as well as
the pages that are returned by the Web server. HTTPS uses Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) as a sublayer under its regular HTTP
application layering. SSL is a commonly-used protocol for managing the
security of a message transmission on the Internet. It uses a 40-bit key size
for the RC4 stream encryption algorithm, which is considered an adequate degree
of encryption for commercial exchange. TLS is a protocol that ensures privacy
between communicating applications and their users on the Internet. When a
server and client communicate, TLS ensures that no third party may eavesdrop or
tamper with any message. TLS is the successor to SSL.

D

Note: HTTPS uses port 443 instead of HTTP port 80 in its interactions
with the TCP/IP lower layer.

When an HTTPS client opens and closes its TCP socket, the SSL software
respectively handshakes upon opening and disconnects upon closing from the
HTTPS server. The main HTTPS client functions are:

•

Downloading of configuration files and firmware images.

•

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) (for remote phones)
UPnP is a standard that uses Internet protocols to enable devices to be plugged
into a network and automatically know about each other. With UPnP, when a user
plugs a device into the network, the device configures itself, acquires a TCP IP
address, and uses a discovery protocol based on the Internet's HTTP or HTTPS
URL to announce its presence on the network to other devices.
This method of device discovery on a network is called “Universal Plug and Play”
or UPnP. If you enable UPnP, and the phone is discovered on the network, port
mappings are set up between the phone and the Internet Gateway Device (IGD).
The phone controls the opening, closing, and polling of ports on the IGD. HTTP
and SIP use a single port each. RTP/RTCP uses a range of ports.

ra
f

t1

The UPnP manager performs its functions when you set the phone to remote
mode. When you switch the phone back to local mode, the UPnP manager
removes any open port mappings and shuts itself down. If you boot the phone in
remote mode, the UPnP manager initializes after the phone obtains an IP address
and before a SIP registration is sent out. If you want to manually configure your
NAT, you must disable UPnP on the remote mode phone.

D

Note: Enabling UPnP allows the IP phones to access the Internet even if
a firewall has been set on the IGD. This allows the phone to send and
receive SIP calls and XML pushes without interruption. UPnP does not
work with multiple firewalls.

You can enable UPnP on remote IP phones using the configuration files, the IP
Phone UI, or the Aastra Web UI. Using the configuration files, you can enable
UPnP using the following parameters:
•

upnp manager

•

upnp gateway

•

sip nat rtp port

The “upnp manager” parameter enables or disables UPnP. The “upnp gateway”
parameter is the IP address or qualified domain name of the Internet gateway or
router that stores the port mappings. In the event a phone using UPnP is rebooted,
it will still have the previously set port mappings on the gateway. The “sip nat rtp
port” parameter specifies the RTP port range on the gateway.

Virtual LAN (optional)
Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a feature on the IP phone that allows for
multiple logical Ethernet interfaces to send outgoing RTP packets over a single
physical Ethernet as described in IEEE Std 802.3. On the IP phone, you configure
a VLAN ID that associates with the physical Ethernet port.
By configuring specific VLAN parameters, the IP phones have the capability of
adding and removing tags, and processing the ID and priority information
contained within the tag.
Note: All latest VLAN functionality is backwards compatible with IP
Phone Releases 1.3 and 1.3.1.

t1

VLAN on the IP phones is disabled by default. When you enable VLAN, the IP
phone provides defaults for all VLAN parameters. If you choose to change these
parameters, you can configure them using the configuration files, the IP Phone UI,
or the Aastra Web UI.

ra
f

The following sections describe the VLAN features you can configure on the IP
phones.
Type of Service (ToS), Quality of Service (QoS), and DiffServ QoS

D

ToS is an octet as a field in the standard IP header. It is used to classify the traffic
of the different QoSs.
QoS provides service differentiation between IP packets in the network. This
service differentiation is noticeable during periods of network congestion (for
example, in case of contention for resources) and results in different levels of
network performance.
Port 0 is the Ethernet LAN Port connected to the network. Port 1 is the Ethernet
PC Port used for passthrough to a PC.
Differentiated Service (DiffServ) QoS is class-based where some classes of traffic
receive preferential handling over other traffic classes.
The Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value is stored in the first six bits
of the ToS field. Each DSCP specifies a particular per-hop behavior that is
applied to a packet.

Notes:
1. In order for the software to successfully maintain connectivity with a
network using VLAN functionality, the IP phone reboots if you modify
the "tagging enabled" (VLAN Enable in the Web UI), "vlan id", or
"vlan id port 1" parameters.

2. When the LAN Port (vlan id) and the PC Port (vlan id port 1)
parameters have the same value, VLAN functionality is compatible with
earlier IP phone software releases.
If you set the PC Port (vlan id port 1) to 4095, all untagged packets are
sent to this port. For configuring this feature via the Phone UI and the
Aastra Web UI, see “Configuring VLAN (optional)” on page 4-60. For
configuring this feature using the configuration files, see Appendix A, the
section, “Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) Settings” on page A-38.

DSCP Range/VLAN Priority Mapping
DSCP bits in the ToS field of the IP header are set for RTP, RTCP, and SIP packets
using either the default values or the values configured via the "tos sip", "tos rtp",
and "tos rtcp" parameters.
When the VLAN global configuration parameter, "tagging enabled" is set to 1,
VLAN priority for IP packets is mapped to the DSCP value instead of a single
priority for all packets. An administrator can also configure VLAN priority for
non-IP packets using the "priority non-ip" parameter.

t1

Since the default DSCP settings for SIP, RTP, and RTCP are 26, 46, and 46
respectively, this results in corresponding default VLAN priorities of 3 for SIP, 4
for RTP, and 4 for RTCP (based on the settings in the table “DSCP Range/VLAN
Priority” on page 4-56).
You can change the default parameters by modifying just the DSCP values, just
the VLAN priority values, or by modifying all values.

RPORT
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) operates over UDP and TCP. When used
with UDP, responses to requests are returned to the source address from which the
request came, and returned to the port written into the topmost “Via” header of the
request. However, this behavior is not desirable when the client is behind a
Network Address Translation (NAT) or firewall.
A parameter created for the “Via” header called “Rport” in RFC 3581, allows a
client to request that the server send the response back to the source IP address
and the port from which the request came.
When you enable “Rport, the phone always uses symmetric signaling (listens on
the port used for sending requests).

the section, “Voicemail (9480i, 9480i CT, 6755i, 6757i, and 6757i CT

Specific sets of SIP parameters are inter-dependent with each other. To prevent
conflicting parameter values from being applied, per-line values always take
precedence over the corresponding set of global values.

t1

For example, if a parameter value is configured for one of the per-line sets, all
parameters from that set are applied and all parameters from the corresponding
global section are ignored, even if some of the parameters within the global set are
not defined in the per-line set.

IP Phone Administrator Guide
Global SIP Settings

Line3 specifies per-line values for proxy IP address and proxy port, so the phone
uses those parameter values for SIP calls made on that line. However, because
those parameters are part of the SIP network block, the phone does not apply any
of the global SIP network block parameters. So even though the global parameters
configure a SIP registrar, Line3 on the phone ignores all global network block
parameters. Since line3 does not contain a per-line SIP registrar entry, the phone
does not use a registrar for that line.
Note: Global SIP parameters apply to all lines unless overridden by a
per-line configuration.

Backup Proxy/Registrar Support
The IP phones support a backup SIP proxy and backup SIP registrar feature. If
the primary server is unavailable, the phone automatically switches to the backup
server allowing the user's phone to remain in service.
How it Works
All SIP registration messages are sent to the primary registrar first. If the server is
unavailable, then a new registration request is sent to the backup registrar. This
also applies to registration renewal messages, which try the primary server before
the backup.

t1

Similarly, any outgoing calls attempt to use the primary proxy first, then the
backup if necessary. In addition, subscriptions for BLF, BLA, and explicit MWI
can also use the backup proxy when the primary fails. Outgoing calls and the
previously mentioned subscriptions behave the same as registrations, where the
primary proxy is tried before the backup.

ra
f

SIP Server (SRV) Lookup

D

The SIP SRV Lookup feature allows you to configure the IP phone to perform a
DNS server lookup on a SIP proxy, a SIP registrar, or a SIP outbound proxy.
The IP phone performs an SRV lookup when the IP address of the server is FQDN
and the corresponding port is 0.
For example, if the phone is configured with sip proxy ip of "ana.aastra.com",
and sip proxy port of "0", the SRV lookup may return multiple servers, based on
the priorities if one is selected as primary and others are selected as secondary.
However, if the IP address is an FQDN and the corresponding server port is
non-zero, then the phone performs a DNS "A" Name Query to resolve the FQDN
into dot notation form.
If the IP address is a valid dot notation and the port is zero, then a default port
5060 is used.

Configuring Network and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Features

Global SIP Settings

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). Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) allows endpoints
to monitor packet delivery, detect and compensate for any packet loss in the
network. Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and H.323 both use RTP and RTCP for
the media stream, with User Datagram Protocol (UDP) as the transport layer
encapsulation protocol.

t1

Note: If RFC2833 relay of DTMF tones is configured, it is sent on the
same port as the RTP voice packets. The phones support decoding and
playing out DTMF tones sent in SIP INFO requests. The following
DTMF tones are supported:
• Support signals 0-9, #, *
• Support durations up to 5 seconds

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.
On the IP phone, the initial port used as the starting point for RTP/RTCP port
allocation can be configured using "RTP Port Base". The default RTP base port
on the IP phones is 3000.

t1

For example, if the RTP base port value is 5000, the first voice patch sends RTP
on port 5000 and RTCP on port 5001. Additional calls would then use ports 5002,
5003, etc.

ra
f

You can configure the RTP port on a global-basis only, using the configuration
files, the IP Phone UI, or the Aastra Web UI.
Basic Codecs (G.711 u-Law, G.711 a-Law, G.729)

D

CODEC is an acronym for COmpress-DECompress. It consists of a set of
instructions that together implement one or more algorithms. In the case of IP
telephony, these algorithms are used to compress the sampled speech data, to
decrease the content's file size and bit-rate (the amount of network bandwidth in
kilobits per second) required to transfer the audio. With smaller file sizes and
lower bit rates, the network equipment can store and stream digital media content
over a network more easily.
Aastra IP phones support the International Telecommunications Union (ITU)
transmission standards for the following CODECs:

4-94

•

Waveform CODECs: G.711 pulse code modulation (PCM) with a-Law or
u-Law companding

•

Parametric CODEC: G.729a conjugate structure - algebraic code excited
linear prediction (CS_ACELP).

You can enable the IP phones to use a default "basic codec" set, which consists of
the set of codecs and packet sizes shown above.
Or you can instead configure a custom set of codecs and attributes instead of using
the defaults.

ra
f

Note: The basic and custom codec parameters apply to all calls, and are
configured on a global-basis only using the configuration files or the
Aastra Web UI.

D

Customized Codec Preference List

You can also configure the IP phones to use preferred Codecs. To do this, you
must enter the payload value (payload), the packetization time in milliseconds
(ptime), and enable or disable silence suppression (silsupp).
Payload is the codec type to be used. This represents the data format carried
within the RTP packets to the end user at the destination. You can enter payload
values for G.711 a-law, G.711 u-law, and G.729a.
Ptime (packetization time) is a measurement of the duration of PCM data within
each RTP packet sent to the destination, and hence defines how much network
bandwidth is used for transfer of the RTP stream. You enter the ptime values for
the customized Codec list in milliseconds. (See table below).

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.
You must enter the values for this feature in list form as shown in the following
example:
payload=8;ptime=10;silsupp=on,payload=0;ptime=10;silsupp=off

The valid values for creating a Codec preference list are as follows.

Out-of-Band DTMF

The IP phones support out-of-band Dual-Tone Multifrequency (DTMF) mode
according to RFC2833. In the Aastra Web UI, you can enable or disable this
feature as required. The "out-of-band DTMF" is enabled by default.
In out-of-band mode, the DTMF audio is automatically clamped (muted) and
DTMF digits are not sent in the RTP packets.
You can configure out-of-band DTMF on a global-basis using the configuration
files or the Aastra Web UI.

Configuring Network and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Features

Global SIP Settings

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.
RTP Encryption

t1

The IP Phones include support for Secure Real-time Transfer Protocol (SRTP),
using Session Description Protocol Security (SDES) key negotiation, for
encryption and authentication of RTP/RTCP messages sent and received by the
Aastra IP phones on your network.
As administrator, you specify the global SRTP setting for all lines on the IP
phone. You can choose among three levels of SRTP encryption, as follows:
SRTP Disabled (default): IP phone generates and receives nonsecured RTP
calls. If the IP phone gets called from SRTP enabled phone, it ignores SRTP
tries to answer the call using RTP. If the receiving phone has SRTP only
enabled, the call fails; however, if it has SRTP preferred enabled, it will accept
RTP call.

•

SRTP Preferred: IP phone generates RTP secured calls, and accepts both
secured and non-secured RTP calls. If the receiving phone is not SRTP
enabled, it sends non-secured RTP calls instead.

D

•

ra
f

•

SRTP Only: IP phone generates and accepts RTP secured calls only; all other
calls are rejected (fail).

You can override the global setting as necessary, configuring SRTP support on a
per-line basis. This allows IP phone users to have both secured and unsecured
lines operating on the same phone.

41-001160-03, Rev 00, Releaes 2.4

4-97

IP Phone Administrator Guide
Global SIP Settings

If an SRTP enabled IP phone initiates a call, and the receiving phone is also SRTP
enabled, the IP Phone UI displays a “lock” icon, indicating that the call is secure.
If the receiving phone does not support SRTP, the IP phone will send unsecured
RTP messages instead of SRTP encrypted messages. However in this case, the IP
Phone UI does not display the lock icon - indicating a non-secure call.
Note: If you enable SRTP, then you should also enable Transport Layer
Security (TLS). This prevents capture of the key used for SRTP
encryption. To enable TLC, set the Transport Protocol parameter
(located on the Global SIP Settings menu) to TLS.

You can configure SRTP on a global or per-line basis using the configuration files
or the Aastra Web UI.

t1

Silence Suppression

ra
f

In IP telephony, silence on a line (lack of voice) uses up bandwidth when sending
voice over a packet-switched system. Silence suppression is encoding that starts
and stops the times of silence in order to eliminate that wasted bandwidth.
Silence suppression is enabled by default on the IP phones. The phone negotiates
whether or not to use silence suppression. Disabling this feature forces the phone
to ignore any negotiated value.

D

You can configure silence suppression on a global-basis using the configuration
files or the Aastra Web UI.

Configuring Network and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Features

Global SIP Settings

Autodial Settings
The IP phones include a feature called “Autodial”. When you configure Autodial
on an IP phone, the phone automatically dials a preconfigured number whenever
it is off-hook. Depending on the configuration you specify, the Autodial functions
as either a “hotline”, or as a “warmline,” as follows:
•

Hotline (default): The IP phone immediately dials a preconfigured number
when you lift the handset.

•

Warmline: The IP phone waits for a specified amount of time after you lift
the handset before dialing a preconfigured number. If you do not dial a
number within the time allotted, then the IP phone begins to dial the number.

t1

By default, the Autodial feature functions as a hotline. If you want Autodial to
function as a warmline, you can use the Autodial “time-out” parameter to specify
the length of time (in seconds) the IP phone waits before dialing a preconfigured
number.

ra
f

As administrator, you configure Autodial globally, or on a per-line basis, for an IP
phone. The line setting overrides the global setting. For example, you can disable
Autodial on a specific line simply by setting the line’s autodial number parameter
to empty (blank).

D

Note: IMPORTANT INFORMATION before configuring Autodial on
your IP phone:

•

Any speeddial numbers that you configure on an IP phone are not
affected by autodial settings.

•

If you configure autodial on your IP phone, any lines that function as
hotlines do not accept conference calls, transferred calls, and/or
intercom calls.

Defining an 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 dial pad when required and the phone automatically
dials to those emergency services.

t1

Note: Contact your local phone service provider for available emergency
numbers in your area.

ra
f

The following table describes the default emergency numbers on the IP phones.
Emergency Number

Description

911

A United States emergency number

999

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.

112

A United Kingdom emergency number

110

Configuring Operational Features

Operational Features

Emergency Dial Plan and Pattern Matching
The IP Phones support emergency dialing using pattern matching and prepend
dial plan functionality.
There are two ways to dial a number on the phone:
•

dialing digit-by-digit (i.e., select line and dial)

•

dialing by string (i.e., pre-dial then go off-hook)

When a user dials digit-by-digit, the phone adds every digit to a dialed string and
checks against the dial plan. If the phone is not locked, it checks against the
regular dial plan. If the phone is locked, it checks against the emergency dial plan.

t1

When a user dials by string, (pre-dial, speed-dial, etc., and then goes off-hook),
and the phone is not locked, it checks to see if the number matches the emergency
dial plan. If it doesn’t match, it blocks the call from going through. If the phone is
locked, and the number matches the emergency dial plan it allows the call to go
through.

ra
f

Adding a pre-pend to a dial plan also works with both dialing digit-by-digit and
dialing by string.
Limitation

•

D

The following is a limitation for emergency dial plans with pattern matching:
Secondary dial tone is not supported.

You can set the emergency dial plan via the configuration files or the Aastra Web
UI.
Configuring an Emergency Dial Plan

dialing emergency services in your area.

Configuration Files
For specific parameters you can set in the configuration files, see Appendix A, the section, “Emergency Dial

The Aastra IP Phones incorporate the federally mandated DST observance
change. This change became affective starting in 2007.
The US has made a change to its daylight savings time observance starting in
2007. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 mandates that DST will now begin at 2:00
A.M. on the second Sunday in March and revert to Standard time on the first
Sunday in November.
Note: In previous years, the DST began on the first Sunday of April and
ended on the first Sunday of October.

The changes to daylight savings time applies to the U.S. and Canada, but may
impact other countries outside North America.

Time Zone & DST
There are two ways you can set the time zone on the IP Phones.
First Method - You can set a time zone using the Time Zone option in the IP
Phone UI or you can use the “time zone name” parameter in the configuration
files. Both methods allow you to enter a value from the Time Zone table. The list
of time zone names is provided in the table in Appendix A, the section, “Time
Zone Name/Time Zone Code Table” on page A-47. The following is an example:
time zone name: US-Eastern

t1

Second Method - You can use the “time zone name” parameter in the
configuration files, and specify a value of “custom” for this parameter. This
method allows you to customize the time zone for your area using additional
configuration parameters. The following is an example using relative time for
EST:

Time Servers
A time server is a computer server that reads the actual time from a reference
clock and distributes this information to the clients in a network. The time server
may be a local network time server or an internet time server. The Network Time
Protocol (NTP) is the most widely used protocol that distributes and synchronizes
time in the network with the time on the time server.
On the IP phones, you can enable or disable a Time Server to be used to
synchronize time on the phones with the Timer Server you specify. An
Administrator can use the IP Phone UI, Aastra Web UI, or configuration files to
enable/disable the Time Server and specify a Time Server 1, Timer Server 2, and/
or Time Server 3. A User can enable/disable the Time Server using the IP Phone
UI or Aastra Web UI only. The Time Server is enabled by default.

Local Dial Plan
A dial plan describes the number and pattern of digits that a user dials to reach a
particular telephone number. Access codes, area codes, specialized codes, and
combinations of the number of digits dialed are all part of a dial plan. For
instance, the North American Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) uses a
10-digit dial plan that includes a 3-digit area code and a 7-digit telephone number.
Most PBXs support variable length dial plans that use 3 to 11 digits. Dial plans
must comply with the telephone networks to which they connect. Only totally
private voice networks that are not linked to the PSTN or to other PBXs can use
any dial plan.

t1

The Dial Plan field accepts up to 512 characters. If a User enters a dial plan longer
than 512 characters, or a parsing error occurs, the phone uses the default dial plan
of “x+#|xx+*”. You configure the SIP Local Dial Plan using the Aastra Web UI or
the configuration files.
The IP phone SIP local dial plan available symbols are as follows:
Description

ra
f

Symbol
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

D

X

Expression inclusive OR
0 or more of the preceding digit symbol or [] expression

[]

Symbol inclusive OR

-

Used only with [], represent a range of acceptable symbols;
For example, [2-8]

;

Used when a secondary dial tone is required on the phone.
(For example, “9;xxxxxx”, when a user has to dial “9” to get
and outside line and needs a secondary dial one presented

Dial Plan Example
An example of a SIP Local Dial Plan is:
[01]XXX|[2-8]XXXX|91XXXXXX
XXXX|X+.|*XX

IP Phone Administrator Guide
Operational Features

The dial plan in the above example can accept any 4-digit dial strings that begin
with a '0' or '1', any 5-digit dial strings that begin with a '2' up to '8', any 12-digit
dial strings that begin with '91', any non-empty digit string that ends with a '.' or
any 2-digit code that begins with a '*'.
Prefix Dialing
The IP phones support a prefix dialing feature for outgoing calls.
You can manually dial a number or dial a number from a list. The phone
automatically maps the pre-configured prepended digit in the configuration, to the
outgoing number. When a match is found, the prepended digits are added to the
beginning of the dial string and the call is dialed.

t1

Note: The prepend digits are also added if the dialing times-out on a
partial match.

ra
f

You can enable this feature by adding a prepend digit(s) to the end of the Local
Dial Plan parameter string in the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI at
Basic Settings->Preferences->General.

•

D

For example, if you add a prepend map of “[2-9]XXXXXXXXX,91”, the IP
phone adds the digits “91” to any 10-digit number beginning with any digit from 2
to 9 that is dialed out. Other examples of prepend mappings are:
1X+#,9 (Prepends 9 to any digit string beginning with “1” and terminated
with “#”.)

•

6XXX,579 (Prepends “579” to any 4-digit string starting with “6”.)

•

[4-6]XXXXXX,78 (Prepends “78” to any 7-digit string starting with “4”, “5”, or “6”.)
Note: You can configure a local dial plan via the configuration files or
the Aastra Web UI.

Example
If you enter the following dial string for a local dial plan:
sip dial plan: 1+#,9

Configuring Operational Features

Operational Features

where “9” is the prepended digit, and you dial the following number:
15551212

the IP phone automatically adds the “9” digit to the beginning of the dialed
number before the number is forwarded as 915551212.
Note: You can configure a local dial plan via the configuration files or
the Aastra Web UI.

SIP Dial Plan Terminator

t1

The IP phone allows you to enable or disable the use of the “dial plan terminator”.
When you configure the phone’s dial plan to use a dial plan terminator or timeout
(such as the pound symbol (#)) the phone waits 4 or 5 seconds after you pick up
the handset or after you finish dialing the numbers on the keypad before making
the call.

ra
f

You can enable or disable the dial plan terminator using Aastra Web UI or the
configuration files.
Digit Timeout

D

The IP phone allows you to configure a “Digit Timeout” feature on the IP phone.
The Digit Timeout is the time, in seconds, between consecutive key presses on the
IP phone’s keypad. The default for this parameter is 4 seconds. If you press a key
on the phone and wait 4 seconds before pressing the next key, the key times out
and cancels the digit selection. You must press consecutive keys before the
timeout occurs.

Secondary Dial Tone
The IP phones now support a feature that allows the user to dial a predefined dial
string, obtain a dial tone, and continue dialing. A User or Administrator can
configure this using the existing Dial Plan feature on the phone.
You can enter a new character string in the dial plan that allows you to configure
the secondary dial tone. The character string is of the form ".;." , where the period
indicates an arbitrary number of digits and the semicolon indicates that the phone
is to present a dial tone after the previous dialed digit. For example, in the string:
"9;xxxxx"

t1

the user dials “9” to get the outside line, listens for the dial tone, and continues to
dial the applicable number. The “;” tells the phone to present a second dial tone
after the previously dialed digit. “The “xxxxx” in the example tells the phone that
a phone number is dialed after the secondary dial tone is audible.

ra

You can enter the Secondary Dial Tone string in the Dial Plan using the

the call, and then hang up. You can still go back to the original outgoing call and
finish dialing out.

D

Notes:
1.
On a 9143i, 6751i, and 6753i, you must use the down arrow key to
ignore the call. To answer the call you must press the line key where the
call is coming in.
2.
For all models, if you disable this parameter (0=disable), and the
phone receives an incoming call while you are dialing an outgoing call,
you can pick up the call and perform transfer or conference as required.
3.
This feature works only if the User selects a line for which to dial
out. It is recommended that the Administrator always keeps Live Dialpad
ON in order for the User to have to select a line before dialing out.

Transfer/Conference Call Behavior
If you are dialing the phone to transfer or conference a call, and your phone
receives an incoming call, your dialing is never interrupted (regardless of whether
the “Incoming Call Interrupts Dialing” is enabled or disabled). For Transfer and
Conference, the incoming calls always go to an available line (other than the one
you are using for dialing) and the incoming call’s line LED blinks. The LCD still
displays your dialing screen.
Intercom Behavior

ra
f

t1

If “Incoming Call Interrupts Dialing” (Web UI) or “incoming call cancels
dialing” (config file) is enabled and you are dialing an outgoing Intercom call, the
enabled interrupt setting takes precedence over an enabled “Allow Barge In”
setting. The incoming call interrupts your dialing on an outgoing intercom call.
On an incoming intercom call, the enabled “Allow Barge In” and
“Auto-Answer” occurs while you are dialing to transfer or conference the call.
However, the incoming call goes to an available idle line, and the LED blinks
while you are dialing the second half of the conference or transfer.

D

If “Incoming Call Interrupts Dialing” (Web UI) or “incoming call cancels
dialing” (config file) is disabled, an incoming intercom goes to an available idle
line and the LED blinks for that line. The phone answers the call under all
conditions.
Configuring Incoming Call Interrupts Dialing
Use the following procedures to configure how the IP phone handles incoming
calls that interrupt outgoing dialing.

Configuration Files
For specific parameters you can set in the configuration files for enabling/disabling how the IP phones
handle incoming calls that interrupt outgoing dialing, see Appendix A, the section, “Incoming Call Interrupts

UPnP Mapping Lines (for remote phones)
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a standard that uses Internet protocols to
enable devices to be plugged into a network and automatically know about each
other. With UPnP, when a user plugs a device into the network, the device
configures itself, acquires a TCP IP address, and uses a discovery protocol based
on the Internet's HTTP or HTTPS URL to announce its presence on the network
to other devices.
This method of device discovery on a network is called “Universal Plug and Play”
or UPnP. If you enable UPnP, and the phone is discovered on the network, port
mappings are set up between the phone and the Internet Gateway Device (IGD) in
your network. The phone controls the opening, closing, and polling of ports on the
IGD. HTTP and SIP use a single port each. RTP/RTCP uses a range of ports.

t1

You can enable the UPnP mappings to specific lines on your phone. You set this
configuration using the Aastra Web UI at Basic Settings->Preferences->UPnP
Mapping Lines.

ra
f

Note: UPnP must be enabled on your remote phone before you can

UPnP see Chapter 4, the section, “Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) (for

On outgoing intercom calls, an available unused line is found when the Icom
button is pressed. Since this line has no configuration, the phone applies an
existing configuration ("Outgoing Intercom Settings", Line, default is Line 1) to
this line in preparation for placing the intercom call. For example, an outgoing
intercom call can use the configuration of line 1 but places the actual intercom call
using line 9. Only an Administrator can configure outgoing intercom calls.

D

ra
f

A phone-side Intercom call indicates the phone is responsible for telling the
recipient that an intercom call is being placed, while a server-side intercom call
means the SIP server is responsible for informing the recipient. Server-side calls
require additional configuration of a prefix code. After pressing the Icom button
and entering the number to call, the phone automatically adds the prefix to the
called number and sends the outgoing call via the server.
For outgoing intercom calls, an administrator can configure the following
parameters:

Operational Features

Incoming Intercom Calls
You can configure how the phone handles incoming intercom calls. You can
receive incoming intercom calls whether or not there are active calls on the phone.
The way the phone handles the call depends on the incoming intercom call
configuration. The following paragraphs describe the configuration parameters for
incoming intercom calls.
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.

t1

Auto-Answer/Play Warning Tone

ra
f

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 the user before answering the intercom
call. If “Auto-Answer” is disabled, the phone rejects the incoming intercom call
and sends a busy signal to the caller.

D

“Delay” before Auto-Answer

The IP Phones include support for the "delay" parameter (in the Alert-Info header,
used in conjunction with info=alert-autoanswer) in order to facilitate auto-answer
functionality. When present, the value of the "delay" parameter specifies the
length of time in seconds an IP phone rings before a call is auto-answered. If this
value of the "delay" parameter set to 0 (delay=0), then an incoming call is
immediately auto-answered. The absence of the parameter is considered as ring
forever.
In order for the delay functionality to operate, you must first enable Auto-Answer
on the IP Phone.

Allow Barge In
You can configure whether or not the IP phone allows an incoming intercom call
to interrupt an active call. The “sip intercom allow barge in” parameter controls
this feature. When you enable the sip intercom allow barge in parameter
(1 = enable in the configuration files), 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 (0 = disable in the configuration files), and there is an active call, the
phone treats an incoming intercom call like a normal call and plays the call
warning tone. You can set this parameter using the configuration files or the
Aastra Web UI.

Group Paging RTP Settings

t1

An Administrator or User can configure a specific key (softkey, programmable
key, or expansion module key) on the phone that allows you to send/receive a
Real Time Transport Protocol (RTP) stream to/from pre-configured multicast
address(es) without involving SIP signaling. This is called Group Paging on the IP
phones. You can specify up to 5 listening multicast addresses.
An Administrator can use the following parameters in the configuration files to set
Group Paging RTP Settings:
paging addr list

•

softkeyN type, topsoftkeyN type, prgkeyN type, or expmodX keyN type

•

IP Phone Administrator Guide
Operational Features

How it works
After pressing a configured “Paging” key on the phone, the Phone sends RTP to a
preconfigured multicast address(es) (IP port). Any phone in the local network
then listens for RTP on the preconfigured multicast address(es) (IP port). For both
sending and receiving of the multicast RTP there is no sip signaling involved. The
Phone displays the multicast RTP sent/received address(es) to the user.
Note: Multicast RTP is one way only - from sender to the receiver (i.e.
from sender to the multicast address(es) (receiver)).

The phone uses a preconfigured G711 uLaw CODEC for multicast RTP.

t1

For Paging Systems, the phone only plays RTP traffic; users have the ability to
drop a rogue page. The recipient can drop the incoming page if required. The
recipient can also set Do Not Disturb (DND) to ignore any incoming pages.

ra
f

Note: For outgoing RTP multicasts, all other existing calls on the phone
are put on hold.

For incoming RTP multicasts, the ringing display is dependant on the “Allow
Barge-In” parameter. If this parameter is disabled, and there is not other call

D

on the phone, then the paging is automatically played via the preferred
audio device (see the model-specific IP Phone User Guide for setting
Audio Mode on the phone).
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.

Priority Alerting
Priority alerting on the IP phones is a feature that allows incoming calls to trigger
pre-defined ringing or call waiting alert tones.
You can enable or disable priority alerting on the IP phone for the Asterisk,
Broadworks, and Sylantro servers using the configuration files and the Aastra
Web UI. Configuration of priority alerting is on a global-basis only.
How Priority Alerting Works
When the IP phone detects an incoming call, the phone firmware inspects the
INVITE request in the IP packet for an "Alert-Info" header.

t1

If it contains an "Alert-Info" header, the firmware strips out the URL and keyword
parameter and maps it to the appropriate Bellcore tone.

ra
f

If there is no keyword parameter in the "Alert-Info" header, or the INVITE
message contains no "Alert-Info" header, then the IP phone firmware uses the
Bellcore standard ring tone.
Asterisk/Broadworks Servers

D

The ring tone keywords that can display in the "Alert-Info" header for an Asterisk
and Broadworks server are:
Asterisk/Broadworks Server
Ring Tone Keywords
Bellcore-dr2
Bellcore-dr3
Bellcore-dr4
Bellcore-dr5

When the ring tone keywords appear in an "Alert-Info" header from an Asterisk or
Broadworks server, the IP phone maps the keywords to the default ring tone
patterns.

Call Waiting Tones
Call Waiting is a feature that tells you if a new caller is trying to contact you when
you are already on the phone. A discreet tone alerts you to the new caller, so you
can answer your second incoming call by putting your first caller on hold.

Directed Call Pickup (BLF or XML Call Interception)
Directed call pickup is a feature on the phones that allows a user to intercept a call
on a ringing phone which is part of the same interception group. You can use the
Directed call pickup feature on the phone in two ways:
With the existing BLF feature on Asterisk, a user can dial “*76” followed by
the extension to pick up a ringing call on another phone. (For more
information about BLF, see “Busy Lamp Field (BLF)” on page -169

•

Using XML, a user can intercept a call by selecting an extension from a list
and then pressing a “Pickup” softkey/programmable key. To use the Directed
call pickup feature from an XML application, you must list all ringing
extensions using the AastraIPPhoneTextMenu XML object in an XML
script. This allows the user to select the ringing extension from a text menu
without having to dial. The following illustration shows an example of how
this feature displays to the LCD from an XML application.:

BLF and XML softkeys/programmable keys monitor the states of an extension.
The extension states can be one of three states: "busy", "ringing" and "idle". If the
monitored extension is in the "ringing" state with an incoming call, and "Directed
call pickup" is enabled, pressing the BLF or XML key can pick up the incoming
call on the monitored extension.
Note: The Asterisk and Epygi Quadro 4x/16x IP PBX servers support
this feature. For details about Asterisk support, contact Aastra Technical
Support.

Directed Call Pickup Prefix (optional)

ra
f

t1

The optional “directed call pickup prefix” allows you to enter a specific prefix
string (depending on what is available on your server), that the phone
automatically dials when dialing the Directed Call Pickup number. For example,
for Broadsoft servers, you can enter a value of *98 for the “directed call pickup
prefix”. When the phone performs the Directed Call Pickup after pressing a BLF
or BLF/List softkey, the phone prepends the *98 value to the designated extension
of the BLF or BLF/List softkey when dialing out.
How this feature works when Directed Call Pickup is enabled with BLF or
BLF/List
Phone A monitors Phone B via BLF/List.

Phone C calls Phone B; Phone B rings.

Notes:
1. The default method for the phone to use is Directed Call Pickup over
BLF if the server provides applicable information. If the Directed Call
Pickup over BLF information is missing in the messages to the server, the
Directed Call Pickup by Prefix method is used if a value for the prefix
code exists in the configuration.

2.

You can define only one prefix at a time for the entire BLF/List.

3. The phone that picks up displays the prefix code + the extension

Feature Key Programming Guidelines
The following are guidelines to use when programming the feature keys on the
handset:
All handsets paired with the same Base Station have the same programmed
functions since the web interface applies the functions to all the handsets
paired with that base.

•

A newly registered handset or handset that was out-of-range during the
programming needs to perform an "off-hook and on-hook" sequence in order
for the newly programmed function to be broadcasted to the affected
handsets. Simply press the v key from the idle state to go off-hook. Then,
press the y key to go back on-hook.

•

Duplicate functions can exist in the feature key as there is no filtering or
duplicate checking done on the handset or the base.

•

If no line keys are programmed for the feature key, the handset is restricted to
intercom calls only.

•

If all 12 programmable functions have been programmed to "None", the user
is presented with a List empty message when the feature key is pressed.

types of None, Line, Speeddial, and XML. After the configuration file is
downloaded, the Park key list will show None, Line, Speeddial, XML, and Park;
the Pickup key list will show None, Line, Speeddial, XML, and Pickup; all other

state changes. BLF monitors the status (busy or idle) of extensions on the IP
phone.
Note: The BLF setting is applicable to the Asterisk server only.

Example

t1

A Supervisor configures BLFs on his phone for monitoring the status of a
worker’s phone use (busy or idle). When the worker picks up his phone to make a
call, a busy indicator on the Supervisor’s phone shows that the worker’s phone is
in use and busy.

On the 9480i, 9480i CT, 6755i, 6757i, and 6757i CT, the busy and idle indicators
show on the IP phone screen display next to the softkey or programmable key
configured for BLF functionality. When the monitored user is idle, an icon with
the handset on-hook shows next to the BLF softkey or programmable key. When
the monitored user is on an active call, a small telephone icon is shown with the
handset off-hook.
On the 9143i, 6751i, and 6753i, the LED lights next to each BLF programmable
key illuminate steady to indicate the monitored line is off-hook or unregistered.
The LED goes off when the line is idle.
Note: You can configure a maximum of 50 BLFs on the M670i and
M675i Expansion Modules.

You can configure a BLF key on the IP Phones using the configuration files or the
Aastra Web UI.

BLF\List Setting
(For use with the BroadSoft Broadworks Rel 13 or higher platform only)
The BLF\List feature on the IP phones is specifically designed to support the
BroadSoft Broadworks Rel 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, there is a small
telephone icon shown with the handset on-hook. When the monitored user is in
ringing state, there is a small bell icon shown. When the monitored user is on an
active call then a small telephone icon is shown with the handset off-hook.

t1

On the 9143i and 6753i phone, the LED lights next to each BLF programmable
key illuminate steady to indicate the monitored line is off-hook or unregistered.
The LED goes off when the is idle. When the monitored extension is ringing, the
LED flashes.

ra
f

Note: 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.

D

You can configure a BLF/List key on the IP Phones using the configuration files
or the Aastra Web UI. You can also specify a BLF list URI that the phone uses to
access the required BLF list. You can specify a BLF List URI using the “list uri”
parameter in the configuration files or the BLF List URI field in the Aastra Web
UI at the path Operation->Softkeys/Programmable Keys/Expansion Module
Keys->Services->BLF List URI. For more information about the “list uri”
parameter, see Appendix A, the section, “BLF List URI Settings” on page A-230.
Example
A receptionist has a 6757i running Broadsoft firmware that subscribes to a list of
extensions from the BroadWorks Application Server. Each monitored extension
in the list shows up individually on the 6757i screen next to a softkey button. The
softkey icons on the screen change depending on the state of the extensions.

BLF/Xfer and Speeddial/Xfer Keys
The IP Phones have a transfer (Xfer) enhancement feature you can use with the
BLF and Speeddial keys - BLF/Xfer and Speeddial/Xfer.
The BLF key allows one or more extensions to be monitored, and once there is
any state change with those extensions, the key shows the status of the monitored
lines. The Xfer key allows a call to be transferred to other recipients blindly or
consultatively.
The Speeddial key allows a number to be dialed quickly by pressing one key
configured for speeddialing. After answering a call, the recipient can transfer the
call to an extension by:

Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) (for Sylantro Servers)
The IP phones support an Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) feature for Sylantro
servers. The ACD feature allows the Sylantro server to distribute calls from a
queue to registered IP phone users (agents).
To use the ACD feature on an IP phone, the administrator must first configure an
an ACD softkey or programmable key. When an IP phone user wants to subscribe
to a queue (in order to receive incoming calls), the user presses the ACD key. The
IP phone UI prompts the user to specify the following information:
User ID: the phone number(s) used to login into the queue.

•

Password: the password used to login to the queue.

•

Available/unavailable: Shows the current status of the IP phone. Specifies if
the IP phone user is available/unavailable to receive a call from the queue.
This parameter is set to “unavailable” by default.

t1

•

ra
f

When the IP phone user is ready to receive calls from the server, the user logs into
a queue. Depending on the server configuration, the IP phone is either in an
“unavailable” or “available” state. If the phone is set to “available” then the server
begins to distribute calls to this phone immediately. If the phone is set to
unavailable, then server waits until the IP phone user manually changes the phone
status to “available” (using the IP phone UI) before distributing calls.

D

Whenever the IP phone user answers a call, or misses a call, the server
automatically changes the phone’s status to unavailable. The server updates it
database with this new information and no longer distributes calls to this phone.
The IP phone will remain in this state until:
— the IP phone user makes himself “available” again.
— the ACD auto-availability timer expires. This occurs only if the
administrator has configured an ACD auto-availability timer as described
in “ACD Auto-Available Timer” on page 5-189.
The IP phone user can also choose to manually change the phone status to
unavailable, using the IP Phone UI.
Note: It is recommended you configure no more than a single ACD
softkey or programmable key per IP phone.

Using the ACD Feature on your IP Phone
The ACD feature allows you to login to a phone queue in order to receive
distributed calls on your IP phone. To login to a phone queue, your system
administrator must preconfigure an ACD softkey or programmable key on your
Aastra IP phone.
For models 9480i, 9480i CT, 6755i, 6757i, 6757i CT, the ACD softkey is labeled
according to your network requirements. Check with your administrator to verify
the label assigned to the ACD softkey on your IP phone. The label usually
describes which phone queue you are accessing when you press the ACD softkey.

t1

For example, suppose the administrator wants to configure an ACD softkey to
allow an IP phone user to log into the Customer Support phone queue. The
administrator assigns the label “Support” to the softkey, so it is easily
recognizable to the IP phone user. When the IP phone user wants to subscribe to
the Customer Support queue, the user presses the Support key and can log in.

ra
f

Once logged in to the queue, you can make himself “available” or “unavailable”
to take calls by pressing the Available/Unavailable key on the phone UI. The
server monitors your IP phone status. When you set the IP phone to “available,”
the server begins distributing calls to your phone. When you set the IP phone to
“unavailable,” the server temporarily stops distributing calls to your phone.

D

The icon that appears next to the ACD softkey or programmable key on the IP
Phone UI reflects your current status. In the example shown below, the
icon
shows the current status of this IP phone user as “logged off.”

Directed Call Pickup/Group Call Pickup (for Sylantro Servers)
Aastra IP phones and any attached Expansion Modules support the Directed Call
Pickup (DCP) and Group Call Pickup (GCP) features.
The Directed Call Pickup/Group Call Pickup feature allows you to intercept - or
pickup - a call on a monitored extension. An Administrator or User can configure
this feature using the Aastra Web UI to create a DCP or GCP softkey on the IP
phone. When you configure a DCP softkey, you specify the extension that you
want to monitor. Then, when the monitored extension receives a call, you press
the DCP softkey to “pickup” (intercept) it. If the monitored extension receives
multiple incoming calls simultaneously, the IP Phone UI displays a list of
incoming calls. You select a call from this list, and are connected to the call.

ra

t1

When you configure a GCP softkey, you specify the ring group that you want to
monitor for incoming calls. For example, suppose an Operator configures a GCP
softkey to monitor incoming calls for a specific ring group (extensions
2200-2210). When an incoming call is received on any of these extensions, the
Operator presses the GCP softkey and is connected to the call. If multiple
incoming calls are received simultaneously, the Operator does the following
actions:
Presses the GCP softkey. The Operator Phone UI displays the current list of
incoming calls (see below).

Operational Features

Bridged Line Appearance (BLA)
A SIP bridge line appearance (BLA) on the IP phones allows multiple devices to
share a single directory address (DA).
For example, people working at a technical support department could be located
in different places. If their desktop phones are configured for BLA DA, when
customer calls come in, all the phones with the BLA DA would ring but the call
can only be answered by one of them.
Once the call is answered, the rest of the phones reflect the status of the call. If the
call was put on "hold" by the original recipient, any one from the group can pick
up the call.

t1

Note: This feature is dependent on the IP telephony system to which the
IP phone is registered and according to draft-anil-sipping-bla-02.txt.

You can apply BLA on the IP phones as follows:

As a single BLA group - One BLA DA is shared among multiple phones.
Only one phone at a time can pick up an incoming call or initiate an outgoing
call on the BLA DA. All phones reflect the usage of the BLA DA. If the call is
put on "hold", any one from the group can pick up the "held" call.

•

As a multiple BLA group - On one single phone, multiple BLA DA can be
associated with different line appearances. Every BLA DA is independent
from each other and follows the same rules as "a single BLA group".

D

•

ra
f

•

As multiple instances of a BLA DA - A "x-line-id" parameter was defined in
draft-anil-sipping-bla-02.txt to present the incoming call to or place an
outgoing call on the specified line appearance instance. The parameter is
carried in "Alert-Info" header field over the request-URI (INVITE e.g.) or in
the NOTIFY messages to report the status of a dialog.

BLA DA can be configured on a global basis or on a per-line basis on the IP
phones using the Aastra Web UI or the configuration files.

When configuring the BLA feature on a per-line basis for a Sylantro server, the
value set for the "sip lineN bla number" parameter shall be the same value set for
the "sip lineN user name" parameter for all the phones in the group. For example,
if sip lineN user name is 1010, you would configure BLA on a per-line basis for

“BLA Subscription Period” on page 5-200.
Using a BLA Line on the IP Phone

t1

If you have either a global or per-line BLA configuration, and you want to share a
call on the line with a BLA group, you need to press the Hold button before
sharing the call with the group.
For example, if line 1 is configured for BLA, and you pick up a call on line 1, you
must press the Hold button to share the call with the BLA group.

D

ra
f

If you pick up a call on line 1 configured for BLA, and another call comes in on
line 2, you can pick up line 2 without putting line 1 on hold. The line 1 call will
be on hold automatically; however it is on hold locally only. The line 1 call
cannot be shared with the BLA group.
Note: The Hold button must be pressed for a call on a BLA line to be
shared with the BLA group.

Configuring Operational Features

Operational Features

BLA Support for Third Party Registration
BLA allows an Address Of Record (AOR) to be assigned onto different line
appearances for a group of SIP user agents (IP phones). When a call is made to
this BLA number, the call is offered to all user agents that have mapping to this
BLA. To support this, the IP phones need to support third party registration for the
BLA along with the registration for its own primary appearance number. If the IP
phone has the primary appearance as a BLA, then there is no need for third party
registration.
When configuring the BLA feature on a per-line basis for third party registration
and subscription, the third party name must be configured using the “sip lineN bla
number” parameter. For third party registration to work effectively, one of the
lines should register as generic with its own username.

Notes:
1. If you change the setting on this parameter, you must reboot the
phone for it to take affect.
2. Both the “sip explicit mwi subscription” and “sip mwi for bla
account” parameters must be enabled in order for the MWI subscription
for BLA to occur.
3. The MWI re-subscription for the BLA account uses the value set for
the "sip explicit mwi subscription period" parameter to re-subscribe.

Park/Pick Up Key
The IP phones (including the 6757i CT and 9480i CT handsets) have a park and
pickup call feature that allows you to park a call and pickup a call when required.
There are two ways a user or administrator can configure this feature:
•

Using a static configuration (globally configures park and pickup)

•

Using a programmable configuration (using a key)
Note: The IP phones accept both methods of configuration. However, to
avoid redundancy, Aastra Telecom recommends you configure either a
static configuration or a programmable configuration.

t1

The IP phones support the Park/Pickup feature on the Asterisk, BroadWorks,
Sylantro, and ININ PBX servers.

ra

The following paragraph describes the configuration of a park and pickup key on
the IP phone. For information about configuring the park and pickup static
configuration method see “Park Calls/Pick Up Parked Calls” on page 5-59.
Park/Pickup Programmable Configuration (using a key)

D

The programmable method of configuration creates park and pickup keys
(softkeys, programmable keys, expansion module keys) that you can configure on
the IP phones.
For the 9480i, 9480i CT, 6755i, 6757i, and 6757i CT you can set a key as "Park"
or "Pickup" and then:
•

specify a customized label to display on the Phone UI

•

specify a value

•

specify which line to use

•

specify the state of the park and/or pickup keys

For the 9143i and 6753i, you can set a programmable key as "Park" or "Pickup"
and then:

Last Call Return (lcr) (Sylantro Servers)
Last call return (lcr) allows an administrator or user to configure a "last call

return" function on a softkey or programmable key. This feature is for
Sylantro servers only.
You can configure the “lcr” softkey feature via the configuration files or the
Aastra Web UI.
How it works
If you configure "lcr" on a softkey or programmable key, and a call comes

into your phone, after you are finished with the call and hangup, you can
press the key configured for “lcr” and the phone dials the last call you received.

t1

When you configure an “lcr” softkey, the label “LCR” displays next to that
softkey on the IP phone. When the Sylantro server detects an “lcr” request, it
translates this request and routes the call to the last caller.

Configuring Last Call Return

Use the following procedures to configure LCR on the IP phones.

Configuration Files

For specific last call return (lcr) parameters you can set in the configuration files, see Appendix A, the

Operational Features

Call Forwarding
Call Forward (CFWD) on the IP phone allows incoming calls to be forwarded to
another destination. The phone sends the SIP message to the SIP proxy, which
then forwards the call to the assigned destination.
An Administrator or User can configure CFWD on the phone-side by setting a
mode for the phone to use (Account, Phone, or Custom). Once the mode is set,
you can use the IP Phone UI to use the CFWD feature at Options->Call Forward
or by pressing a configured Call Forward softkey/programmable key/extension
module key.
The following describes the behavior for each CFWD mode.
Account mode - The account mode allows you to configure CFWD on a per
account basis. Pressing a configured CFWD key applies to the account in
focus.

•

Phone mode - The Phone mode allows you to set the same CFWD
configuration for all accounts (All, Busy, and/or No Answer). When you
configure the initial account, the phone applies the configuration to all other
accounts. (In the Aastra Web UI, only the account you configured is enabled.
All other accounts are grayed out but set to the same configuration.) Using the
Aastra Web UI, if you make changes to that initial account, the changes apply
to all accounts on the phone.

•

D

ra
f

t1

•

Custom mode - The Custom mode allows you to configure CFWD for a
specific account or all accounts. You can configure a specific mode (All,
Busy, and/or No Answer) for each account independently or all accounts. On
the 9143i, 6751i and 6753i phones, you can set all accounts to ALL On or
ALL Off. On the 9480i, 9480i CT, 6755i, 6757i, and 6757i CT, you can set all
accounts to All On, All Off, or copy the configuration for the account in focus
to all other accounts using a CopytoAll softkey.
Note: If there is only one account configured on the phone, then the
mode setting is ignored and the phone behaves as if the mode was set
to “Phone”.

You can enable different call forwarding rules/modes independently (for example,
you can set different phone numbers for Busy, All, and NoAns modes and then
turn them on/off individually).

The “Busy” option call forwards incoming calls only if the account is in the busy state. The calls are

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
(for example, 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.

Server to IP Phone Download Behavior
The software that reads directory files from the server, loads the file’s contents
into the phone's NVRAM when the phone is booting. Directory entries in the
NVRAM that originate from a server directory file are 'owned' by the server.
During the boot process both directory files are read, combined into a single list,
and any duplicate entries are deleted from the list. Any entries in this list that are
not already in the phone's NVRAM are added to the NVRAM and flagged as
being owned by the server.
Likewise, any entries in the NVRAM that are owned by the server, but are no
longer in one of the server's directory files, are removed from the NVRAM.

XML Customized Services
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language much like HTML.
HTML was designed to display data and to focus on how data looks. XML was
designed to describe data and to focus on what data is.
The following are characteristics of XML:
•

XML tags are not predefined. You must define your own tags.

•

XML uses a Document Type Definition (DTD) or an XML Schema to
describe the data.

•

XML with a DTD or XML Schema is designed to be self-descriptive

•

XML is a W3C Standard Recommendation

Creating Customized XML Services on the IP Phones

ra
f

The XML application for the IP phones allows users to create custom services
they can use via the phone’s keyboard and display. These services include things
like weather and traffic reports, contact information, company info, stock quotes,

Enabling/Disabling a Beep for Status Message Displays
You can enable or disable a BEEP option using the Status Message object
(AastraIPPhoneStatus), the configuration files, or the Aastra Web UI.
Note: For enabling/disabling a status message beep using the Status
Message object, see Appendix F, “Creating and Managing XML
Applications.”

When the phone receives a status message, the BEEP notifies the user that the
message is displaying.
You can use the following to enable/disable a status message beep:
AastraIPPhoneStatus object (via XML object; see Appendix F)

•

xml beep notification (via configuration files)

•

XML Beep Support (via the Aastra Web UI)

t1

•

ra
f

Enabling the beep is an indication to the phone to sound a beep when it receives
an AastraIPPhoneStatus object. If you disable the beep, or no
AastraIPPhoneStatus object appears in the status message, then the default
behavior is no beep is heard when the object arrives to the phone.

D

The value set in the configuration files and Aastra Web UI override the attribute
you specify for the AastraIPPhoneStatus object.
For example, if the AastraIPPhoneStatus object has the attribute of Beep=”yes”,
and you uncheck (disable) the “XML Beep Support” in the Aastra Web UI, the
phone does not beep when it receives an AastraIPPhoneStatus object.
Setting the BEEP option in the configuration files and the Aastra Web UI applies
to the phone immediately.

Scroll Delay Option for Status Messages
The IP phones support a scroll delay option that allows you to set the time delay,
in seconds, between the scrolling of each status message on the phone. The default
time is 5 seconds for each message to display before scrolling to the next message.
You can configure this option via the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI.
You can use the following to set the scroll delay for status messages:
•

xml status scroll delay (via the configuration files)

•

XML Configuration Push from the Server

D

The IP phones provide an XML feature that allows you to make configuration
changes to the phone that take affect immediately, without having to reboot the
phone. This feature involves creating XML scripts that push the changed
configuration parameter(s) from the server to the IP phones.
You can use the AastraIPPhoneConfiguration object in the XML scripts to
change configuration parameters or configure new parameters. However, since the
IP phone does not save new parameters created in XML scripts to the local.cfg
file, when the phone reboots, it does not save the new parameters on the phone. In
order for the phone to apply new configuration parameters, you have to enter the
parameters via the user interfaces (Telephone User Interface, Web User Interface,
or configuration files), or reapply the new parameters using the XML scripts after
every boot.
Specific configuration parameters are dynamic on the phone when pushed from
XML scripts on the server. See Appendix F, “Creating and Managing XML
Applications” for more information about XML configuration scripts and
dynamic configuration parameters.

Configuring the Phone to use XML
You can configure the phone to request the XML objects you create by
configuring specific parameters via the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI.
Users can access XML applications via softkeys configured on the IP phones.
The phone performs an HTTP GET on the URI configured in the Aastra Web UI
or configuration files.
You configure the following parameters for object requests:
xml application URI

•

xml application title

t1

The xml application URI is the application you are loading into the IP phone.

ra
f

The xml application title is the name of the XML application that displays on the
Services menu in the IP Phone UI (as option #4).
XML Get Timeout

D

The IP phone has a parameter called, “xml get timeout” that allows you to
specify a timeout value, in seconds, that the phone waits for the far side to return a
response after accepting the HTTP GET connection. If the far side accepts the
GET connection but never returns a response, it blocks the phone until it is
rebooted. If you enter a value greater than 0 for this parameter, the phone times
out and will not be blocked.
For more information about configuring this parameter, see Appendix A, the
section, “XML Settings” on page A-132.

XML Push Requests
In addition to initiating a request to an XML application from a softkey, an HTTP
server can push an XML object to the phone via HTTP Post. When the phone sees
a PUSH request containing an XML object, it tries to authenticate the request. It
does so by checking the IP address or host name of the requesting host against a
list of trusted hosts (or domain names) configured via the Aastra Web UI
(parameter called XML Push Server List) or the configuration files (parameter
called xml application post list). If the request is authenticated, the XML object
is handled by the IP phone accordingly, and displays the information to the screen.

t1

Note: The HTTP Post must contain HTTP packets that have an "xml"
line in the message body. For more information about adding "xml" lines
in HTTP packets, see Appendix F, “Creating and Managing XML
Applications”.

How it works

D

When a startup, successful registration, incoming call, outgoing call,
offhook, or onhook call event occurs on the phone, the phone checks to see if
the event has an action URI configured. If the phones finds a URI configured, any
variables configured (in the form $$VARIABLENAME$$) are replaced with the
value of the appropriate variable. After all of the variables are bound, the phone
executes a GET on the URI. The Action URI binds all variables and is not
dependant on the state of the phone.
For example, if you enter the following string for the action uri outgoing
parameter:
action uri outgoing: http://10.50.10.140/
outgoing.pl?number=$$REMOTENUMBER$$

and you dial out the number 5551212, the phone executes a GET on:
http://10.50.10.140/outgoing.pl?number=5551212

Polling Action URIs
Another way to reach a phone behind a NAT/firewall is to have the phone make an
XML call at periodic intervals. An Administrator can use the action uri poll
parameter that commands the phone to perform an XML call at configurable
intervals.
An Administrator can specify the URI to be called and specify the interval
between polls using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI. Configuration of
this feature is dynamic (no reboot required).

Action URI Disconnected
The phones have a parameter, “action uri disconnected” that allow a disconnect
event to occur when the phone transitions from any active state (outgoing,
incoming, connected, or calling) to an idle state. This parameter can use the
variable “$$LINESTATE$$”.
Note: The $$LINESTATE$$ variable is optional and not required when
enabling the “action uri disconnected” parameter.

If the Administrator enables this feature (by specifying a disconnect URI),
when a call is disconnected, the phone checks to see if the event has a

XML SIP Notify Events
In order for an XML push to bypass the NAT/firewall, the phone supports a
proprietary SIP NOTIFY event (aastra-xml) with or without XML content. An
Administrator can enable/disable the SIP NOTIFY event using a specific
parameter in the configuration files (sip xml notify event) or the Aastra Web UI
(XML SIP Notify).
If XML content is provided in the SIP NOTIFY, it is processed directly by the
phone as it is done for an XML PUSH.
If the content is empty in the SIP NOTIFY, the phone automatically triggers a new
pre-configured action uri (action uri xml sip notify).

XML Applications and Off-Hook Interaction
A feature on the IP phone allows you to specify whether the phone is prevented
from going into the off-hook/dialing state when the handset is off-hook and the
call ends.
By default, the phone behaves as follows:
You are in a call using the handset and the phone displays an XML application.
The far-end terminates the call, and a new XML application gets pushed/pulled
onto the display. Since the handset is off-hook and in idle mode, the "offhook idle
timer" starts. When this timer expires, the phone applies dial tone and moves to
the off-hook/dialing state, which then destroys the XML application that was
being displayed.

With the “off-hook interaction” feature you can set an “auto offhook” parameter
that determines whether or not the phone is prevented from entering the off-hook/
dialing state, if the handset is off-hook and the call ends.

Operational Features

Centralized Conferencing (for Sylantro and Broadsoft Servers)
The IP phones include support for centralized conferencing (Ad-Hoc
conferencing) for Sylantro and Broadsoft servers. This feature provides
centralized conferencing on the SIP server (versus localized, on the phone) and
allows IP phone users to do these tasks:
•

Conference two active calls together into a conference call.

•

When on an active conference call, invite another party into the call.

•

Create simultaneous conference calls on the same IP phone (Sylantro servers
only). For example, the IP phone user at extension 2005 could create these
two conferences, and put one conference on hold while conversing with the
other party:

t1

— Line 1: conference together extensions 2005, 2010, and 2020.
— Line 2: conference together extensions 2005, 2011 and 2021.

ra
f

When an IP phone user is connected to multiple conference calls, some
outbound proxies have maximum call “hold” time set from 30-90 seconds.
After this time, the call that is on hold is disconnected.
Disconnect from an active conference call while allowing the other callers to
remain connected.

•

Ability to create N-way conference.

•
•

D

•

Join two active calls together into a conference call.
Incoming or outgoing active call can join any of the existing conferences.

If the administrator does not configure centralized conferencing, then the IP
phone uses localized conferencing by default.
Note: When you configure centralized conferencing globally for an IP
Phone, the global settings apply to all lines. Although, for the global
setting to work on soft lines, the user must configure the lines with the
applicable phone number.

An Administrator can configure centralized conferencing on a global or per-line
basis using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI.

“SIP Join” Feature for 3-Way Conference (not applicable to the 6751i)
The IP Phones support RFC 3911 which allows an additional caller to join an
active call between two parties if the caller knows the dialog information. This
feature begins a conference using a join header as described in RFC 3911.
The “SIP Join“ feature provides the following:
•

Security via the whitelist (which is a feature that already exists on the phone).

•

Initiates an offhook action uri when it is answered.

•

Initiates an onhook action uri at call termination.

•

Creates a caller list entry.

Authentication Support for HTTP/HTTPS Download Methods, used
with Broadsoft Client Management System (CMS)
The IP phones support HTTP/HTTPS digest authentication as defined in
RFC 2617. (The HTTP client supports digest authentication; the HTTP server
does not; the HTTP server supports basic authentication). This feature allows the
phones to interoperate with Broadsoft’s CMS phone configuration tool.
Using the configuration files, you can enable/disable the following parameter to
display a LOG IN softkey which allows the HTTP/HTTPS server to perform
digest authentication:
http digest force login - specifies whether or not to display the LOG IN
softkey on the IP Phone UI screen. Valid values are 0 (disabled) or 1
(enabled). Default is 0 (disabled).

t1

•

Using the configuration files, you can change the default values for the
following parameters:

D

•

ra
f

If the “http digest force login” parameter is set to 1 (enabled), after the phone
boots, the LOG IN softkey displays on the phone’s LCD. If the user presses this
softkey, a username/password screen displays, allowing the user to enter the
configured username and password that is sent to the HTTP/HTTPS server for
digest authentication by the server. By default, username is “aastra” and
password is “aastra”. You can enter the username and password in two ways:

— http digest username - specifies the username to use for HTTP/HTTPS
digest authentication.
— http digest password - specifies the password to use for HTTP/HTTPS
digest authentication.

•

By enabling the “http digest force login” parameter (setting to 1) - the phone
displays the LOG IN key so the user can enter the default username/password
via the IP Phone UI.

Description

Transport Layer Security (TLS)

Allows you to enable or disable the use of Persistent
Transport Layer Security (TLS).
Persistent TLS sets up the connection to the server once
and re-uses that connection for all calls from the phone. The
setup connection for Persistent TLS is established during the
registration of the phone. If the phones are set to use
Persistent TLS, and a call is made from the phone, this call
and all subsequent calls use the same authenticated
connection. This significantly reduces the delay time when
placing a call.
Allows you to enable or disable the 802.1x Protocol support
on the IP Phones.

Advanced Operational Features

Auto-discovery Using mDNS
The IP phones can perform an auto-discovery of all servers on a network using
mDNS. When the IP phone discovers a TFTP server, it is automatically
configured by that TFTP server.
An unconfigured phone (phone right out of the box) added to a network, attempts
to auto-discover a configuration server on the network without any end-user
intervention. When it receives DHCP option 66 (TFTP server), it automatically
gets configured by the TFTP server.
An already configured phone (either previously configured by auto-discovery or
manually configured) added to a network, uses its predefined configuration to
boot up.

ra
f

t1

Notes:
1. Configuration parameters received via DHCP do not constitute
configuration information, with the exception of a TFTP server.
Therefore, you can plug a phone into a DHCP environment, still use the
auto-discovery process, and still allow the use of the TFTP server
parameter to set the configuration server.

D

2. DHCP option 66 (TFTP server details) overrides the mDNS phase of
the auto-discovery. Therefore, the DHCP option takes priority and the
remaining process of auto-discovery continues.
3. As the phone performs auto-discovery, all servers in the network
(including the TFTP server), display in the phone window. However, only
the server configured for TFTP automatically configures the phone.

When this feature is enabled (set to 1), you can make separate active calls from
the 6757i CT and 9480i CT base unit and from the cordless handset. If this feature
is disabled (set to 0), only one call can be active at a time either from the base unit

Missed Call Summary Subscription
The “Missed Call Summary Subscription” feature allows missed calls that have
been redirected by the server, to be incremented in the missed calls indicator on
the phone it was initially directed to. This feature is called the Missed Call
Summary Subscription and can be set with a timer that allows the phone to use the
feature for a period of time before the timer expires. For this feature to work, you
must configure voicemail on the phone that the call was initially directed to.

As-Feature-Event Subscription
The IP phones support server-side Do Not Disturb (DND), Call Forward
(CFWD), and Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) feature events.This feature is
called “as-feature-event” and works with the DND, CFWD, and ACD keys.
Notes:
1. The 6751i supports server-side DND and CFWD only.
2. The DND, CFWD, and ACD server-side feature is not applicable to
the CT handset.
This feature is configurable using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI.
How it Works on the Phone UI

t1

When you enable the “as-feature-event” on the phone, AND you activate a DND,
CFWD, and/or ACD key, pressing the key performs as follows:
If the key is configured for an account on the phone, the server applies DND,
CFWD or ACD to that account. (For information about CFWD and DND
account configuration, see Chapter 3, the section, “Account Configuration”
on page 3-35).

•

If the key is “custom” configured, a screen displays on the phone allowing the
user to choose the account to apply DND or CFWD. (For information about
CFWD and DND custom configuration, see Chapter 3, the section, “Account
Configuration” on page 3-35).

A solid “Message Waiting Indicator” (MWI) indicates if one line/account has
DND or CFWD enabled, and the LED next to the DND/CFWD key is ON. A
status displays on the LCD that indicates the status of the line in focus (for
example, the status of CFWD could be “Call Forward Busy” (CFWDB) or
“Call Forward No Answer” (CFWDNA).
Note: If the ACD key is configured on the phone, and the
“as-feature-event” is not enabled, the phones uses the ACD icons and
LED behavior from a Sylantro server instead.

Blacklist Duration
The Blacklist Duration feature helps to reduce unnecessary delays during proxy/
registrar server failures, caused by the IP phone repeatedly sending SIP messages
to a failed server. If you enable this feature, then whenever the IP phone sends a
SIP message to a server, and does not get a response, the phone automatically
adds the server to the blacklist. The IP phone avoids sending messages to any
servers on the blacklist. If all servers are on the blacklist, then the IP phone
attempts to send the message to the first server on the list.
You can specify how long failed servers remain on the blacklist in the IP phone’s
configuration file or in the Aastra Web UI. The default setting is 300 seconds. If
you set the duration to 0 seconds, then you disable the blacklist feature.

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.
TLS is composed of two layers: the TLS Record Protocol and the TLS handshake
protocol. The TLS Record Protocol provides connection security with some
encryption method such as the Data Encryption Standard (DES). The TLS
Handshake Protocol allows the server and client to authenticate each other and to
negotiate an encryption algorithm and cryptographic keys before data is
exchanged. TLS requires the use of the following security certificate files to
perform TLS handshake:
Root and Intermediate Certificates

•

Local Certificate

•

Private Key

•

Trusted Certificate

ra
f

t1

•

D

When the phones use TLS to authenticate with the server, each individual call
must setup a new TLS connection. This can take more time when placing each
call. Thus, the IP phones also have a feature that allows you to setup the
connection to the server once and re-use that one connection for all calls from the
phone. It is called Persistent TLS. The setup connection for Persistent TLS is
established during the registration of the phone. If the phones are set to use
Persistent TLS, and a call is made from the phone, this call and all subsequent
calls use the same authenticated connection. This significantly reduces the delay
time when placing a call.

6-26

41-001160-03, Rev 00, Releaes 2.4

Configuring Advanced Operational Features

Advanced Operational Features

Notes:
1.
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. The phone establishes the TLS connection to the configured
outbound proxy.
2.
If you configure the phone to use Persistent TLS, you must also
specify the Trusted Certificate file to use. The Root and Intermediate
Certificates, Local Certificate, and Private Key files are optional.

t1

On the IP phones, an Administrator can configure TLS and Persistent TLS on a
global-basis only, using the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI.
SIP Asserted Identity (for Sylantro Servers)

ra
f

The IP Phones support a private extension to the SIP, Asserted Identity (SAI)
within Trusted Networks (as defined in RFC 3325), inside the User Agent Server
(UA) in the Aastra IP phones.

D

Note: The phones support PAI header in the UPDATE message,
according to draft-ietf-sipping-update-pai-00. This feature is always
enabled.

If an UPDATE is received with a PAI header from a trusted source, the
phone updates the display with this information. The phone ignores any
PAI received from untrusted entities

This feature allows a network of trusted SIP servers to assert the identity of
authenticated users, and verify that phone messages originate from a Trusted
Identity. Upon receiving a message from a caller in the Trust Network, the IP
phone reads the contents of the P-Asserted-Identity (PAI) header field and
displays it on the phone UI. This field contains a more accurate description of the
caller identity (extension/phone number) than is contained in the SIP message.

41-001160-03, Rev 00, Releaes 2.4

6-27

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. The caller is part of the
Trust Network. The IP phone UI displays the caller information contained in
the PAI header.

•

If the call is not forwarded via a registered proxy server - and therefore is not
a “Trusted Entity” - the IP phone UI does not display any trust information
contained in the PAI header.

The Root and Intermediate Certificate files contain one root certificate and zero or more intermediate

provides the user with the Root and Intermediate Certificate files (most likely just CA root certificate).

D

The Trusted Certificate files define a list of trusted certificates. The phone’s trusted list must contain
the CA root certificates for all the servers it is connecting to. For example, if the phone is connecting
to server A which has a certificate signed by CA1, and server B which has a certificate signed by
CA2, the phone must have CA1 root certificate and CS2 root certificate in its Trusted Certificate file.
Notes:
1. If configuring TLS, you must specify the files for Root and Intermediate Certificates, the Local
Certificate, the Private Key, and the Trusted Certificates in order for the phone to receive calls.

Multi-Stage Digit Collection (Billing Codes) Support (for Sylantro
Servers)
The IP Phones support Multi-Stage Digit Collection (billing codes) for Sylantro
Servers. Sylantro Server features, like mandatory and optional billing codes,
requires that the application server notify the phone to collect more digits before
completing the call. The IP phone is able to collect digits in two stages to support
the billing code feature.
Aastra IP Phone users are prompted to enter the correct billing code when they
dial these numbers:
External numbers.

Billing Codes Implementation Notes

Note the following implementation information:

IP phone users may enter a 2-9 digit billing code. Billing codes may not start
with either 0 (Operator) or 9 (external calls).

•

When using Sylantro Click-to-Call, IP phone users select a billing code from
a pull-down menu.

•

When placing a call, a secondary dial tone alerts IP phone users to enter the
billing code. The IP phone UI also displays a “Enter Billing Code” message.

If an IP phone user redials a number, they do not have to re-enter the billing
code. The billing code information is maintained and processed accordingly.
If an IP phone user enters an invalid billing code, the call fails.

Mandatory versus Optional Billing Codes
This release of the Aastra IP phones supports two types of billing codes:
Mandatory and Optional. The Sylantro server configuration determines which
type of billing code is used on the IP phones.
•

Mandatory billing codes: Calls are not connected until the user enters a valid
billing code. The user dials the phone number. When prompted for billing
codes, user dials the billing code.

Using mandatory billing codes, if the user is configuring a Speeddial number,
then they enter the number using the following format:

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. There is usually a DNS
server within close proximity to your geographic location that maps the domain
names in your Internet requests or forwards them to other servers in the Internet.

t1

The IP Phones support three methods of DNS lookups allowing it to adapt to
various deployment environments: eNone, eSRV, and eNAPTR&SRV. (See the
following table for a description of each method). When the IP Phone accesses the
Internet, it sends out a DNS query to the proxy to lookup the IP address and the
port, and then waits for a response from the proxy.

ra
f

You can configure the phone to use any one of these methods by entering the
applicable value in the configuration files:.
Configuration

NAPTR & SRV & A First, the phone sends "NAPTR" (Naming Authority Pointer) lookup
to get the “SRV” pointer and service type (such as "aastra.com
SIP+2DT .... _sip.tcp.aastra.net", which means the service prefers
to use TCP and "_sip.tcp.aastra.net" for the SRV query instead of
the default "_sip._tcp.aastra.com"). If the NAPTR record is
returned empty then the default value is used, so in the same case,
the phone will use "_sip._udp.aastra.com" for the next step lookup.

Description

D

The phone sends “A” (Host IP Address) lookup for the IP address
and uses the default port number of 5060.
The phone sends “SRV” (Service Location Record) lookup to get
the port number. Most often, the IP address is included in the
response from the DNS server to avoid extra queries. If there is no
IP address returned in the response, the phone sends out the “A”
DNS lookup to find the IP address.

Next, the phone does SRV lookup to get the IP address and port
number. If there is no IP address in the SRV response then it
sends out and “A” lookup to get it.

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" error if they do not increase.

t1

Note: As the default Asterisk configuration does not fully track dialogs
through a reboot, it is recommended that this parameter be enabled when
using the BLF feature with an Asterisk server. If you do not enable this
feature, then rebooting the Asterisk server may cause BLF to stop
working. With this parameter enabled, the BLF key starts working again
when the phone re-subscribes, which by default, are one hour apart.

Encrypted Files on the IP Phone

Encrypted Files on the IP Phone
An encryption feature for the IP phone allows Service Providers the capability of
storing encrypted files on their server to protect against unauthorized access and
tampering of sensitive information (i.e., user accounts, login passwords,
registration information). Service Providers also have the capability of locking a
phone to use a specific server-provided configuration only.

Configuration File Encryption Method

t1

Only a System Administrator can encrypt the configurations files for an IP Phone.
System Administrators use a password distribution scheme to manually
pre-configure or automatically configure the phones to use the encrypted
configuration with a unique key.

ra
f

From a Microsoft Windows command line, the System Administrator uses an
Aastra-supplied encryption tool called "anacrypt.exe" to encrypt the .tuz
file.

D

Note: Aastra also supplies encryption tools to support Linux platforms
(anacrypt.linux) and Solaris platforms (anacrypt.sunos) if required.

This tool processes the plain text .cfg and aastra.cfg files and creates
triple-DES encrypted versions called .tuz and aastra.tuz. Encryption is
performed using a secret password that is chosen by the administrator.
The encryption tool is also used to create an additional encrypted tag file called
security.tuz, which controls the decryption process on the IP phones. If
security.tuz is present on the TFTP/FTP/HTTP server, the IP phones download it
and use it locally to decrypt the configuration information from the aastra.tuz and
.tuz files. Because only the encrypted versions of the configuration files
need to be stored on the server, no plain-text configuration or passwords are sent
across the network, thereby ensuring security of the configuration data.

7-2

41-001160-03, Rev 00, Releaes 2.4

Encrypted Files on the IP Phone

Encrypted Files on the IP Phone

To make changes to the configuration files, the System Administrator must save
the original files.
Note: If the use of encrypted configuration files is enabled (via
security.tuz or pre-provisioned on the IP phone) the aastra.cfg and
.cfg files are ignored, and only the encrypted equivalent files
aastra.tuz and .tuz are read.

The security feature described above prevents unauthorized parties from reading
or writing the contents of the .tuz file. It also provides the following:
Prevents users from using the .tuz file that does not match the user’s
phone MAC address.

•

Renders the .tuz file invalid if the user renames the file.

•

Works with IP phone releases prior to Release 2.2.

•

Vendor Configuration File Encryption

ra
f

Some vendors can have specific methods to encrypt files on their configuration
servers. For each phone, the configuration server can generate a random hex string
(encryption key) that is used to encrypt the phone’s MAC-specific configuration
file.

D

The encryption key is placed in a plain text MAC-specific configuration file that
the server downloads to the phone. After the phone receives the file, it updates the
encryption key.
This method of encryption does not affect the implementation of the Aastra
method of file encryption.

Note: The aastra.cfg file is not encrypted with this feature.

You can set the phone-specific encryption key using the configuration files only.

Upgrading the Firmware

Using the Auto-Resync Feature
The auto-resync feature on the IP phones allows an administrator to enable the
phone to be updated automatically once a day at a specific time in a 24-hour
period if the files on the server have changed. This feature works with TFTP, FTP,
HTTP, and HTTPS servers. An administrator can enable this feature using the
Aastra Web UI or using the configuration files (aastra.cfg and .cfg).
Note: The automatic update feature works with both encrypted and plain
text configuration files.

An Administrator can enable Auto-Resync using the configuration files or the
Aastra Web UI. In the configuration files you set the following parameters:
auto resync mode - Determines whether the configuration server
automatically updates the phone’s configuration files only, the firmware only,
both the firmware and configuration files, or disables automatic updates. This
parameter works with TFTP, FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS servers.

•

auto resync time - Sets the time of day in a 24-hour period for the IP phone to
be automatically updated. This parameter works with TFTP, FTP, HTTP and
HTTPS servers.

•

auto resync max delay - Specifies the maximum time, in minutes, the phone
waits past the scheduled time before starting a checksync.

ra
f

D

•

t1

•

auto resync days - Specifies the amount of days that the phone waits between
checksync operations.

In the Aastra Web UI, you can set the following parameters at the path Advanced
Settings->Configuration Server->Auto-Resync:
•

Mode

•

Time (24 hours)

•

Maximum Delay

•

Days

Setting the “auto resync max delay” (Maximum Delay) and “auto resync days”
(Days) parameters can greatly reduce the load placed on the configuration server
when downloading configurations.

Enabling Auto-Resync Using the Configuration Files
Use the following procedure to configure automatic updates of the IP phone
firmware, configuration files, or both.

For specific parameters you can set in the configuration files for automatic update, see Appendix A, the
section, “Configuration Server Settings” on page A-18.

Notes:
1. If a user is accessing the Aastra Web UI, they are not informed of an
auto-reboot.

ra

2. Any changes made using the Aastra Web UI or the IP phone UI are
not overwritten by an auto-resync update. Auto-resync affects the
configuration files only. However, the settings in the Aastra Web UI take
precedence over the IP phone UI and the configuration files.

D

3. If the IP phone is in use (not idle) at the time of the resync check, the
reboot occurs when the phone becomes idle.
4.

The resync time is based on the local time of the IP phone.

5. Auto-Resync adds up to 15 minutes random time to the configured
time. For example, if the auto resync time parameter is set to 02:00, the
event takes place any time between 02:00 and 02:15. This prevents
several phones from accessing the server at the exact same time.
6. The automatic update feature works with both encrypted and plain
text configuration files.

Troubleshooting Solutions
Description
This section describes solutions to some most common problems that can occur
while using the IP phones.

Why does my phone display “Application missing”?

t1

If you have experienced networking issues while the phone was downloading the
application from the TFTP server, it is possible that the phone can no longer
retrieve the required firmware file. In the event that the phone is no longer able to
communicate with the TFTP server in its attempt to re-download the firmware and
the phone cannot locate the application locally, the message "Application
missing" displays.

ra
f

The phone also displays the following: “Recovery web-client at: ”.
The IP Address displayed is the IP address of the phone. If the phone is unable to
receive an IP from the DHCP server or has lost its record of its static IP, the phone
auto-assigns itself the default IP 192.168.0.50.

1.

D

To recover the firmware for your phone in this circumstance, please perform the
following:
Launch your web browser on your computer.
Note: Your computer needs to be on the same network as your IP Phone.

2.

In the URL, type: “http://” (where IP Address is the IP Address
displayed on the phone). Your browser launches the Aastra IP Phone
Firmware Recovery page.

3.

Call Customer Support and request a .st file.

4.

Copy the file to your TFTP server.

5.

Enter the .st file that is ready for download.

6.

Enter the IP address or qualified domain name of the TFTP server.

7.

Press the Download Firmware button.

IP Phone Administrator Guide
Troubleshooting Solutions

Please ensure that the TFTP server is running and accessible on the network. If the
firmware file is correctly located on the running TFTP server, the phone will
locate the file and reload the application onto the phone.

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.
The Registrar server could be set to 0.0.0.0. A global value of 0.0.0.0 disables
registration. However, the phone is still active and you can dial using
username@ip address of the phone. The phone displays "No Service".

t1

If the Registrar IP address is set to 0.0.0.0 for a per-line basis (i.e, line 1, line 2,
etc.), then the register request is not sent, the "No Service" message does not
display, and the message waiting indicator (MWI) does not come on.

ra
f

Check that the "Registrar Server" IP address in the Aastra Web UI at Advanced
Settings->Global SIP is correct. Check the "sip registrar ip" parameter in the
configuration files is correct.

Why does my phone display "Bad Encrypted Config"?

D

The IP phone displays "Bad Encrypted Config" because encrypted configuration
files are enabled but the decryption process has failed. Specific cases where
decryption fails are:
Reason:
The site-specific password in security.tuz does not match the password used to
encrypt the .tuz or aastra.tuz files.
Fix:
Encrypt the .cfg files to .tuz using the correct password, or replace the security.tuz
with the correct encrypted file.

9-20

41-001160-03, Rev 00, Releaes 2.4

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Solutions

Reason:
Neither of the .tuz and aastra.tuz files are present on the configuration
server (TFTP/FTP/HTTP).
Fix:
Create the encrypted files using anacrypt.exe and copy them to the configuration
server.
Reason:
The encrypted .tuz or aastra.tuz file is encrypted using a different version
of anacrypt.exe than the phone firmware.

t1

Fix:
Run "anacrypt.exe -v" and confirm that the correct version is reported, compared
to the phone firmware version.

ra
f

Why is my phone not receiving the TFTP IP address from the DHCP
Server?

D

For DHCP to automatically populate the IP address or qualified 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 automatically. If your DHCP server does not support Option 66, you must
manually enter the IP address or qualified domain name for the TFTP server into
your IP phone configuration.
For procedures on configuring the TFTP server using the IP phone UI and the
Aastra Web UI, see Chapter 4, the section, “Configuring the Configuration Server
Protocol” on page 4-108.
For specific protocol parameters you can set in the configuration files, see
Appendix A, the section, “Configuration Server Settings” on page A-18.

Setting Parameters in Configuration Files

Setting Parameters in Configuration Files
You can set specific configuration parameters in the configuration files for
configuring you IP phone. The aastra.cfg and .cfg files are stored on the
server. The aastra.cfg file stores global IP phone configuration settings. The
.cfg file stores configuration settings specific to the IP phone with that
MAC address. When you restart the IP phone, these files are downloaded to the
phone.
If you make changes to the phone configuration, the changes are stored in a local
configuration on the phone (not on the server).

t1

Configuration changes made to the .cfg file override the configuration
settings in the aastra.cfg file.

ra

Note: Configuration parameters that you enter in the configuration files
are NOT case sensitive.

Some client applications use HTTP POSTs to transfer XML scripts. The
phones’s HTTP server accepts these POSTs even if server redirection is
enabled, effectively bypassing the secure connection. When this
parameter is enabled (blocking is enabled), receipt of an HTTP POST
containing an XML parameter header results in the following response:
“403 Forbidden”. This forces the client to direct the POSTs to the HTTPS
server through use of the “https://” URL.

Description

D

Note: You can configure prefix dialing by adding a prepend digit to the
dial string. For example, if you add a prepend map of
“[2-9]XXXXXXXXX,91”, the IP phone adds the digits “91” to any 10-digit
number beginning with any digit from 2 to 9 that is dialed out. Other
examples of prepend mappings are:
•

•
•

1X+#,9 (Prepends 9 to any digit string beginning with “1” and
terminating with “#”.)
6XXX,579 (Prepends “579” to any 4-digit string starting with “6”.)
[4-6]XXXXXX,78 (Prepends “78” to any 7-digit string starting with “4”,
“5”, or “6”.

Format

Alphanumeric characters

Default Value

X+#|XX+*

Range

Up to 512 alphanumeric characters.
Note: If a User enters a dial plan longer than 512 characters, or a parsing
error occurs, the phone uses the default dial plan of “x+#|xx+*”. If this is
the case, the Administrator cannot change the dial plan from the
configuration files. The dial plan must be changed from the Aastra Web
UI.

Example

sip dial plan: "X+#|XXX+*"

For Sylantro Server:
When configuring the BLA feature on a Sylantro server, the value set for
the sip lineN bla number parameter shall be the same value set for the
sip lineN user name parameter for all the phones in the group. For
example, if sip lineN user name is 1010, you would configure BLA on a
per-line basis for the Sylantro server as follows:
sip line1 user name: 1010(# for all the phones)

Operational, Basic, and Advanced Parameters

Transport Layer Security (TLS) Settings
To configure TLS, you must enter the “sip transport protocol” parameter with a
value of “4” (TLS). See the “sip transport protocol” description on page A-97.
Also enter the following parameters in the configuration files to configure TLS:

Parameter –
sips persistent tls

Configuration Files

aastra.cfg, .cfg

Description

Enables or disables the use of Persistent Transport Layer Security (TLS).

t1

Persistent TLS sets up the connection to the server once and re-uses that
connection for all calls from the phone. The setup connection for
Persistent TLS is established during the registration of the phone. If the
phones are set to use Persistent TLS, and a call is made from the phone,
this call and all subsequent calls use the same authenticated connection.
This significantly reduces the delay time when placing a call.

Format

D

ra
f

Notes:
1. 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. The phone establishes the TLS connection to the configured
outbound proxy.
2. If you configure the phone to use Persistent TLS, you must also
specify the Trusted Certificate file to use. The Root and Intermediate
Certificates, Local Certificate, and Private Key files are optional.
Boolean

Default Value

0 (disabled)

Range

Call Forward Key Mode Settings
Aastra Web UI:
Basic Settings->Preferences->General
Configuration Files aastra.cfg, .cfg

Description

Sets the mode for how the phone uses “call forwarding” (CFWD)
• account
The account mode allows you to configure CFWD on a per account
basis. Pressing a configured CFWD key applies to the account in
focus.
• phone
The Phone mode allows you to set the same CFWD configuration
for all accounts (All, Busy, and/or No Answer). When you
configure the initial account, the phone applies the configuration to
all other accounts. (In the Aastra Web UI, only the account you
configured is enabled. All other accounts are grayed out but set to
the same configuration.) Using the Aastra Web UI, if you make
changes to that initial account, the changes apply to all accounts on
the phone.
• custom
The Custom mode allows you to configure CFWD for a specific
account or all accounts. You can configure a specific mode (All,
Busy, and/or No Answer) for each account independently or all
accounts. On the 9143i, 6751i, and 6753i phones, you can set all
accounts to ALL On or ALL Off. On the 9480i, 9480i CT, 6755i,
6757i, and 6757i CT, you can set all accounts to All On, All Off, or
copy the configuration for the account in focus to all other accounts
using a CopytoAll softkey.

2. If there is only one account configured on the phone, then the
mode setting is ignored and the phone behaves as if the mode was set
to “Phone”.
3. When configuring a CFWD mode (All, Busy, No Answer) for an
account, you must configure a CFWD number for that mode in order for
the mode to be enabled.

Basic Settings->Preferences->General
aastra.cfg, .cfg

Incoming Call Interrupts
Dialing
(in Web UI)
Description

Enables or disables how the phone handles incoming calls while the
phone is dialing out.
When you enable this parameter (1 = true), an incoming call interrupts the
outgoing call during dialing and allows the phone to ring for the user to
answer the incoming call.

ra
f

t1

When you disable this parameter (0 = disable), which is the default, the
phone does not interrupt the outgoing call during dialing and the number
you were dialling continues to display in the LCD. The phones sends the
incoming call to a free line on the phone (or sends busy signal if all
remaining lines are busy) and the LED for that line blinks. You have a
choice to ignore the incoming call, or answer the incoming call on another
line, via the Ignore and Answer softkeys that display. If you choose to
answer the incoming call, you can answer the call, finish the call, and then
hang up. You can still go back to the original outgoing call and finish
dialing out.

D

Notes:
1. On a 9143i, 6751i, and 6753i, you must use the up and down arrow
keys to ignore or answer the call.
2. On all phone models, if you disable this parameter (0=disable), and the
phone receives an incoming call while you are dialing an outgoing call,
you can pick up the call and perform transfer or conference as required.

After enabling or disabling this feature, it takes affect on the phone
immediately.

Description (Cont’d)

Transfer/Conference Call Behavior
If you are dialing the phone to transfer or conference a call, and your
phone receives an incoming call, your dialing is never interrupted
(regardless of whether the “Incoming Call Interrupts Dialing” is enabled or
disabled). For Transfer and Conference, the incoming calls always go to
an available line (other than the one you are using for dialing) and the
incoming call’s line LED blinks. The LCD still displays your dialing screen.

t1

Intercom Behavior
If “Incoming Call Interrupts Dialing” (or incoming call cancels dialing
in config files) is enabled and you are dialing an outgoing Intercom call,
the enabled interrupt setting takes precedence over an enabled “Allow
Barge In” setting. The incoming call interrupts your dialing on an outgoing
intercom call. On an incoming intercom call, the enabled “Allow Barge
In” and “Auto-Answer” occurs while you are dialing to transfer or
conference the call. However, the incoming call goes to an available idle

Call Pickup after pressing a BLF or BLF/List softkey, the phone
prepends the *98 value to the designated extension of the BLF or BLF/
List softkey when dialing out.

Notes:
1. The default method for the phone to use is Directed Call Pickup over
BLF if the server provides applicable information. If the Directed Call
Pickup over BLF information is missing in the messages to the server,
the Directed Call Pickup by Prefix method is used if a value for the prefix
code exists in the configuration.
2. You can define only one prefix at a time for the entire BLF/List.
3. The phone that picks up displays the prefix code + the extension
number (for example, *981234 where prefix key = *98, extension =
1234).
4. Symbol characters are allowed (for example “*”).

Advanced Operational Parameters

DNS Query Setting
Configuration Files

aastra.cfg, .cfg

Description

Specifies the Domain Name Service (DNS) query method to use when the
phone performs a DNS lookup.

Format

Integer

Default Value

1

Range

0

A only - The phone sends “A” (Host IP Address) lookup for the IP
address and uses the default port number of 5060.

1

SRV & A - The phone sends “SRV” (Service Location Record) lookup
to get the port number. Most often, the IP address is included in the
response from the DNS server to avoid extra queries. If there is no IP
address returned in the response, the phone sends out the “A” DNS
lookup to find the IP address.

2

NAPTR & SRV & A - First, the phone sends "NAPTR" (Naming
Authority Pointer) lookup to get the “SRV” pointer and service type
(such as "aastra.com SIP+2DT .... _sip.tcp.aastra.net", which means
the service prefers to use TCP and "_sip.tcp.aastra.net" for the SRV
query instead of the default "_sip._tcp.aastra.com"). If the NAPTR
record is returned empty then the default value is used, so in the same
case, the phone will use "_sip._udp.aastra.com" for the next step
lookup.
Next, the phone does SRV lookup to get the IP address and port
number. If there is no IP address in the SRV response then it sends out
and “A” lookup to get it.

D

ra
f

t1

Parameter–
sip dns query type

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.

IP Phone at the Asterisk IP PBX
The following configuration illustrates how to create a user with an extension to
make and receive calls using the Asterisk as the PBX. This configuration is
defined in the sip.conf file present along with the other configuration files that are
created when Asterisk is installed. Usually, the configuration files can be found at
the /etc/asterisk directory.

;This is used in the “extensions.conf” file to identify this
;physical phone when issuing Dial commands.

;whatever you like, but make sure they are the same, you will
;need to make an entry in your extensions.conf file (which we
;will get to later)
context=sip
callerid="Phone 1" <1234>

After this is defined in the “sip.conf” file, some information has to be entered in
the “extensions.conf” file present in the same directory as the “sip.conf” file. The
following definition in the file under the [sip]section/context completes defining
the extension for the 6757i phone.

This definition completes configuring the 6757i phone at the IP PBX system.

D

To verify whether the extension has been successfully registered at the IP PBX
system, enter the Asterisk console and reload Asterisk. Use the command “sip
show peers” at the console. This will display the extensions that are registered at
the IP PBX system.

Sample Configuration Files
This section consists of the sample configuration files necessary to configure the
IP phones. The general format is similar to configuration files used by several
Unix-based programs. Any text following a number sign (#) on a line is
considered to be a comment, unless the # is contained within
double-quotes. Currently, Boolean fields use 0 for false and 1 for true.

Sample Configuration Files

# The Aastra 6757i, 6757iCT, and 6753i phones will download 2
# configuration files from the TFTP server while restarting, the
# "aastra.cfg" file and the ".cfg" file. These two configuration
# files can be used to configure all of the settings of the phone with
# the exception of assigning a static IP address to a phone and line
# settings, which should only be set in the ".cfg" file.
#
# The "aastra.cfg" file configures the settings server wide, while
# the ".cfg" file configures only the phone with the MAC address
# for which the file is named (for example, "00085d0304f4.cfg"). The
# settings in the "aastra.cfg" file will be overridden by settings
# which also appear in the ".cfg" file.

Creating an XML Application

Creating Custom Softkeys
Developers can link arbitrary URIs to softkeys in the XML screens and can
invoke softkey behavior to each XML screen type (Text Menu, Text Screen, User
Input, Directory). A developer can define up to six softkeys before the closing tag
of any object on the 9480i/9480i CT and 6757i/6757i CT.
The following softkey functionality is available to the developer for the purpose
of reordering or preserving the default functionality of the XML screens. The
"Dial" function is available to screens that allow input. The dial string for the
"Dial" function is taken from the menu items URI on the Menu Screen, and from
the editor field input on the Input Screen.

Creating an XML Application

Text Menu Object (Menu Screens)
The Text Menu object allows application developers to create a numerical list of
menu items on the IP phones. The go-to line support, arrow indicator, and scroll
key support are built into these objects, along with the "Select" and "Done" soft
keys. You can also turn off automatic numbering of menu items using the
style=”none" attribute or use bullets for lists instead of numbers using the
style=”bullet”.
The Text Menu object allows users to navigate the application, by linking HTTP
requests to menu items.

Text Wrap for XML TextMenu Items
The AastraIPPhoneTextMenu object supports text wrapping on two lines for its
items. This is done using a new attribute called "wrapList". This attribute allows
you to specify the text wrapping to an additional line rather than truncating and
dropping the text.
Note: If the menu item begins with more than one large word (with no
spaces or hyphens), the first full word displays on the first line truncated
and the next full word displays on the next line.

The example below illustrates the IP Phone text wrapping prior to Release 2.2,
and the new text wrapping in Release 2.2 and later.

Text Screen Object (Text Screens)
You use the AastraIPPhoneTextScreen object to display text to the LCD screen
on the IP Phone. The screen text wraps appropriately and can scroll to display a
message longer then four lines.

After implementing this object, text displays to the LCD on the IP phone.
A user can scroll through the screens as required. If you use the
“destroyOnExit” attribute in the XML script, when the user exits the
XML screeens, the screens are destroyed. You can also allow specific text
screens to redisplay for redirection to a new page by using the
“doneAction” attribute and specifying the new page to go to in the XML
script.

ra

t1

Notes:
1. You can use the “destroyOnExit” attribute with any XML object as
required.
2. You can use the “doneAction” attribute with the
AastraIPPhoneTextScreen and AastraIPPhoneFormattedTextScreen
objects only.
3. For all available parameters you can use for the Text Screen object, and
for an explanation of each parameter, see Aastra Telecom’s

Creating an XML Application

XML Answer and Ignore Softkeys
When the IP phone receives an XML application (either via a post or an incoming
action URI) while a call is coming into the phone, the user can either answer or
ignore the call with new softkeys that display (9480i, 9480i CT, 6755i, 6757i, and
6757i CT), or press the left and right arrow keys (9143i and 6753i), without
canceling the XML application.
For a 9480i, 9480i CT, 6755i, 6757i, and 6757i CT, an Administrator can use the
“Answer” and “Ignore” attributes in an XML script to implement this feature.
For a 9143i and 6753i, an Administrator can use the “allowAnswer” attribute
with the AastraIPPhoneTextScreen XML object. Valid values for the
“allowAnswer” attribute are “yes” or “no” (default).
For 9480i, 9480i CT, 6755i, 6757i, and 6757i CT:
The Answer and Ignore softkeys display on the LCD when the phone has an
incoming call at the same time it receives an XML application.

XML applications are destroyed if the phone receives a call after the XML
has been rendered.

Text Screen Format Object (for Text Screens)

ra
f

The AastraIPPhoneFormattedTextScreen object allows you to specify a format
for the text that displays in the LCD window on the phone. Using this object, you
can specify the following for the text that displays:
alignment (using the “Align” attribute and specifying right, left, or center )*

•

text size (using the “Line Size” attribute and specifying normal or double
height)*

•

D

•

display type (using the “Line” or “Scroll” attributes to specify static or
scrolling)*

*See the AastraIPPhoneFormattedTextScreen structure example on page F-20.
The phone’s LCD screen allows up to a total of 5 lines for displaying text. The
formatted text displays in three distinct blocks in the order it is written in the XML
object:
•

The first block displays text at the top of the LCD window. By default, this
text block is static. This block can contain as many lines as the XML object
specifies and can range from zero (0) up to the LCD screen size.

41-001160-03, Rev 00, Release 2.4

F-19

IP Phone Administrator Guide
Creating an XML Application

•

The second block displays below the first block. By default, the second text
block displays as scrolling text. This block takes up as many lines as the XML
developer specifies, up to the LCD screen size.

•

The third block displays below the second block. By default, the third block
displays static text, and takes up whatever lines remain blank on the LCD
screen.
Note: Any of the three blocks can be set as static text or scrolling text but
the text displays on a total of 5 lines only. Any lines that display after line
5 are lost.

t1

Using the AastraIPPhoneFormattedTextScreen object, the display truncates a line
after the last word in that line and continues to wrap the text to the next line.The
phone ignores any lines that display after the 5th line on the LCD screen.
AastraIPPhoneFormattedTextScreen Structure

ra
f

The AastraIPPhoneFormattedTextScreen object describes the structure of the
XML document that you can use to format the text that displays on the phone’s
LCD screen. The default structure of the AastraIPPhoneFormattedTextScreen
object is:

D


A line
of static text


Scrolling text
Another line of Scrolling Text
Yet another scrolling line

Some static footer text


Note: The text in bold in the above structure indicate the options you can
use for text size (normal, double), alignment (right, left, center), and
scrolling height (from 1 to 5 lines). Setting a scrolling height less than “1”
automatically sets the scroller height to “1”.

5 lines) on the 9143i, 6751i, 6753i IP phone.

Dialpad Passthrough for Objects

t1

On the IP Phones, an XML Developer can control digit passthrough while the
phone is in the connected state. (This feature is only applicable to phones in the
connected state). This can be done by setting the new “allowDTMF” attribute
with the XML objects AastraIPPhoneTextScreen,
AastraIPPhoneFormattedTextScreen, and AastraIPPhoneImageScreen.
Setting this attribute to “yes” allows dialpad events to pass through the XML
applications.

ra
f

Note: The default behavior for this feature is to suppress dialpad events
when an XML object is in focus (same as in previous releases). Other
XML objects ignore this attribute.

Examples

The following is an example of setting the allowDTMF attribute to allow
dialpad events to pass through the XML applications.

UserInput Object (User Input Screens)
The AastraIPPhoneInputScreen object allows application developers to create
screens for which the user can input text where applicable. (Line 1 is a title, Line 4
is an input prompt, and Line 5 is an input field). The IP phones support three
parameter types: IP Addresses, Numbers (integers), and Strings. Each parameter
has a URL tag that is used to send information back to the HTTP server. The label
in the parameter tag is appended to the address in the URL tag and sent via HTTP
GET.
For User input screens, you can also create the following:
Time and Date Format User input screens. For more information, see “Time
and Date Formats (User Input Screens)” on page F-31.

XML Softkey for Special Characters
(User Input Screens for 9480i, 9480i CT, 6755i, 6757i, and 6757i CT only)
The IP Phone can dynamically receive a Symbol List when it receives the
AastraIPPhoneInputScreen XML object. You can have a single symbol
specified for the softkey, or you can have a list of symbols. When there is only one
symbol in the list, the symbol displays with no delay. When there is a list of
symbols, you can keep pressing the symbol softkey to cycle through the list of
symbols to select the one you want to use.
To display a list of customized symbols to the phone’s softkey, the server must
include the list of characters in the URI field of the XML softkey script. The URI
must be in the format:
SymbolList=””

t1

The content of the Symbol List must be encapsulated by quotes. You can specify
multiple symbols in one URI. For example, the SymbolList="@#” specifies the
@ and # symbols.

ra

Note: You can have multiple Symbol List softkeys with different lists of
symbols. The maximum length of the data in a Symbol List is 230
characters.

XML Softkeys for Drop, Conf, and Xfer
The Drop, Conf and Xfer softkeys can be customized to use with XML objects
and display on XML screens as required. These custom softkeys are active ONLY
in the connected state. They are available for the following screen objects:
•

TextScreen

•

FormattedTextScreen

•

TextMenu

•

InputScreen

•

ImageMenu

•

ImageScreen

t1

For XML screens on the 6755i, 6757i, 6757i CT, 9480i, and 9480i CT phones
with large LCDs, the Drop, Conf and Xfer custom softkeys display on one screen.

ra

For XML screens on the 6751i, 6753i, and 9143i phones with small LCDs, adding
the "allowDrop", "allowConf" or "allowXfer" attribute to the root tag of the UI
XML object allows the corresponding Drop, Conf, or Xfer key to be shown on the
command line.
XML Example:

Status Message Object (Idle Screen)
The IP phones support an XML AastraIPPhoneStatus object for displaying
status messages on a single designated line on the phone’s idle screen. The
messages display when the server pushes XML information to the phone.
The 6757i/6757i CT phones display messages on the second line in the phone
window. (where “No Service” would display if there was no service. If there is no
service on the phone, the “No Service” message overrides the XML object
message). The 6753i phone displays messages on the first line (overriding the
DisplayName). The phone truncates long messages that are wider then the phone
screen.

t1

If the phone receives multiple messages, the first message received displays first
and the remaining messages scroll consecutively one at a time. Messages remain
displayed until they are removed (by the server) or the phone reboots. The
AastraIPPhoneStatus object feature is always enabled.

ra

Note: You can set the amount of time, in seconds, that a message displays
to the phone before scrolling to the next message. For more information
about this feature, see “Scroll Delay Option (configurable via config files
and Aastra Web UI only)” on page F-80.

AastraIPPhoneStatus Structure

The AastraIPPhoneStatus object describes the structure of the XML document
that you can use to send status messages to the phone. The basic structure of the
AastraIPPhoneStatus object is:

My session ID
Message



The ”My Session ID” attribute must be unique to the application sending the
XML object to the phone. The application generates the session ID, which could
be a combination of letters and numbers. There is a maximum of one 
tag per PhoneStatus object, so the  tag is optional.

Execute Commands Object (for executing XML commands)
An AastraIPPhoneExecute object on the IP phones allows the phone to execute
commands using XML. The phones support the following execute object
commands:
Reset - This command waits until the phone is idle and then executes a reset.
You can use this command in an XML script to enable the server to force
phone firmware changes and/or for troubleshooting purposes.

begins executing the URL or URI specified.
The following example shows an AastraIPPhoneExecute object using the Reset
command:




t1

Note: If you specify a command as a URI attribute (instead of a URL),
the keyword "Command" must be prepended in the value of the URI
attribute so that the phone recognizes it as a URI attribute value. If you
enter a URI and leave out the “Command” keyword, the phone interprets
the value in the URI attribute as a URL containing network resources.

RTP commands for recording and simultaneously playing of an audio file:
mix - When appended to an RTP command, “mix” enables RTP recording and
simultaneous playing of an audio file.

Receiving RTP
When a phone receives a request for receiving RTP:
•

if there is an existing audio path, (handset, headset, or speakerphone), the
phone uses it to play the incoming RTP stream on top of the existing one.

•

if the phone is already in a 3-way conference, the request is declined.

XML URI for Key Press Simulation
The phones provide a feature that allow an XML Developer or Administrator to
define XML Key URIs that can send key press events to the phone, just as if the
physical hard key, softkey, or programmable key were pressed on the phone.
When the Key URI event is sent from the server to the phone, the phone initiates
the event as if the key was physically pressed. If the key is not present on the
phone (hard key) or not available (softkey or programmable key), when the phone
receives the URI, the event is discarded. If you are in the process of changing the
softkey or programmable key setting, or the key is disabled while the event is

Dynamic Configuration Object (to push a configuration to the phone)
The IP phones provide an XML feature that allows you to make configuration
changes to the phone that take affect immediately, without having to reboot the
phone. This feature involves creating XML scripts that push the changed
configuration parameter(s) from the server to the IP phones.

t1

You can use the AastraIPPhoneConfiguration object in the XML scripts to
change configuration parameters or configure new parameters. However, since the
IP phone does not save new parameters created in XML scripts to the local.cfg
file, when the phone reboots, it does not save the new parameters on the phone. In
order for the phone to apply new configuration parameters, you have to enter the
parameters via the user interfaces (Telephone User Interface, Web User Interface,
or configuration files), or reapply the new parameters using the XML scripts after
every boot.
Specific configuration parameters are dynamic on the phone when pushed from
XML scripts on the server. For more information about dynamic configuration
parameters contact Aastra Technical Support.

SetType Attribute Used with Configuration Object
The IP phones include an attribute, “setType”, to be used with the

immediately, without having to reboot the phone. The “setType” attribute
enhances the ability of the AastraIPPhoneConfiguration object to override locally

the user to control how the configuration parameters are saved (locally, remotely,
or override).

map to one byte of pixel data, where each bit represents a pixel. The image data
describes the bitmap from left to right and top to bottom. The data is padded on
an 8-bit boundary, so if the height and width do not match the pixel information,
then the image will not display correctly. The character strings map to the middle
and four corners of the screen. If desired, you can specify an integer as an absolute
pixel for customized displays.
Note: A special URI of "Image:Logo" is used to load the current logo
bitmap for the phone (Aastra or branded). In this case, the height and
width can be ignored.

the Status Message object (AastraIPPhoneStatus), the configuration files, or the
Aastra Web UI.
Note: For enabling/disabling a status message beep using the
configuration files and the Aastra Web UI, see Chapter 5, the section,
“Enabling/Disabling a Beep for Status Message Displays.”.

t1

When the phone receives a status message, the BEEP notifies the user that the
message is displaying. The following attribute in the AastraIPPhoneStatus object
enables/disables the BEEP from being heard:
< AastraIPPhoneStatus Beep="yes|no">

(case sensitive)

D

ra
f

This attribute is optional. If notification is required, the attribute must be in the
ROOT. If the BEEP attribute is set to "yes" (i.e. Beep="yes") then it is an
indication to the phone to sound a beep when it receives the object. If the Beep
attribute is set to "no" (i.e. Beep="no") or not present, then the default behavior is
no beep is heard when the object arrives to the phone.
Note: The value set in the configuration files and Aastra Web UI override
the attribute you specify for the AastraIPPhoneStatus object.

Scroll Delay Option
(configurable via config files and Aastra Web UI only)
The IP phones support a scroll delay option that allows you to set the time delay,
in seconds, between the scrolling of each status message on the phone. The default
time is 5 seconds for each message to display before scrolling to the next message.
You can configure this option via the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI.
Changes are dynamic and apply to the phone immediately.
Note: For more information about setting the scroll delay option, see
Chapter 5, the section, “Scroll Delay Option for Status Messages.”

Creating an XML Application

Timeout Attribute
(configurable via XML objects only)
The XML “Timeout” attribute allows you to specify a timeout value for the LCD
screen display. You must use the “Timeout” aattribute in the ROOT. When the
phone receives an XML object with this attribute, it overrides the default 45
second timeout specified for custom applications. Setting the “Timeout” attribute
to zero (0) disables this feature.
XML Example:
The following example illustrates the use of the “Timeout” attribute with the
AastraIPPhoneFormattedTextScreen object. The result would cause the LCD
screen to timeout in 30 seconds.

CancelAction Attribute
(configurable via XML objects only)
The XML “cancelAction” attribute allows you to specify a URI that a GET is
executed on when the user presses the default CANCEL key.
Note: The URI must be fully qualified.

You can add this optional feature at the end of any of the XML objects. The
format is:

XML Example:

The following illustrates the AastraIPPhoneTextScreen object using the “Cancel”
attribute:

D

 cancelAction=”http://10.50.10.117/
ft.xml”>
Test
This is a test of the cancel action


When this XML script is sent to the phone, and the user presses the default
CANCEL key, the script executes a GET on http://10.50.10.117/ft.xml.
Note: If the “cancelAction” attribute was not used in the above script,
then pressing the CANCEL key would simply cancel the current screen.

Creating an XML Application

HTTP Post
In addition to initiating a request to an XML application from the Services menu,
an HTTP server can push an XML object to the phone via HTTP Post. The phone
parses this object immediately upon receipt and displays the information to the
screen.
The HTTP post packet must contain an "xml=" line in the message body. The
string to parse is located after the equals sign in the message. HTML forms that
post objects to the phone must use a field named "xml" to send their data. See the
following examples (Example 1 and Example 2) for a sample HTTP post packet
and php source code.
Example 1:

D

ra
f

t1

IP Phone Administrator Guide
Creating an XML Application

HTTP Refresh Header
You can use an HTTP refresh header with the XML screen objects on the IP
phones. This feature provides the following:
•

All current XML screen objects have the ability to be refreshed by adding a
Refresh and URL setting to the HTTP headers. (see Refresh setting format
below)

•

The Refresh setting is set by the XML application and it is up to the
application to decide which objects it wants to refresh.
Note: This HTTP refresh header feature only applies to objects that
display to the screen.

ra
f

t1

The Refresh setting must be included in the HTTP header. The XML application
decides which objects it wants to use with this setting. The phone recognizes this
setting when parsing the HTTP header. If the setting is present, then it passes
along the refresh timeout and the URL to the ParserData object, which all XML
screen objects inherit from. The ParserData class also has a timer, which must be
set to expire at the next refresh time. When the timer expires (time to refresh the
screen), the phone requests the URL again and displays the refreshed screen.

D

Refresh Setting Format

The following is the Refresh setting format for the HTTP header:
Refresh: ; URL=

The following example is a Refresh setting for use in an HTTP header:
Refresh: 3; URL=http://10.50.10.140/cgi-bin/update.xml

Note: You must use the Refresh and URL parameters in order for this
feature to work in the HTTP header.

F-86

41-001160-03, Rev 00, Release 2.4

Creating an XML Application

HTTP Language Header
You can use an HTTP language header with the XML screen objects on the IP
phones. By including the language information in the HTTP header, the HTTP
GET includes the phone model, the firmware and the MAC address of the phone.
When the user selects a language on the phone, the selected language is sent to the
XML application and the application displays to the screen in that language.
Note: This HTTP language header feature only applies to objects that
display to the screen.

XML Schema File

t1

After creating an XML application for your IP phone, you can validate the XML
objects using the Schema file provided in this section. This helps you find any
parsing errors that may exist, and verify that your XML objects conform to the
Aastra API.

D

ra
f

Note: Aastra IP phonees do not contain validating XML parsers. There
are many free XML validators available on the Web
(i.e., http://apps.gotdotnet.com/xmltools/xsdvalidator/Default.aspx) that
can perform validation using the schema file.

Managing XML Applications

Managing XML Applications
Description
This section provides information on managing XML applications on the Aastra
IP Phones.

Support of Virtual Web Servers

t1

The IP phones support the configuration of a web sever to host multiple websites
with different content. With this feature, the webserver looks at the Host header in
the incoming HTTP request sent by the browser to determine which website the
phone is trying to access.

Non-Blocking HTTP Connections

ra
f

The IP Phones support a non-blocking HTTP connection feature. This feature

allows the user to continue using the phone when there is a delay during an
HTTP connection while the phone is waiting for the HTTP server to
respond. This feature also allows a user to abort the connection and perform other

D

operations on the phone (which will abort the HTTP connection automatically). A
user can also abort the HTTP loading by pressing the GOODBYE key while the
phone is displaying “Loading Page.......”.
Note: This feature impacts only the HTTP calls triggered by a phone key
(softkey or programmable key); the HTTP calls performed by action
URIs are still blocking.

Local Mode Status Indication Feature
The IP Phones provide a Local Mode Status Indication feature. This enables SIP
servers to send an XML object to the phone in the body of a 200 OK response for
a REGISTER. The object specifies a single message that the phone displays on
the status line on the LCD for a specific line. If the object is missing, the phone
removes the status message that was previously sent.

F-90

41-001160-03, Rev 00, Release 2.4

Managing XML Applications

XML SIP Notify
In order for an XML push to bypass the NAT/firewall, the phone supports a
proprietary SIP NOTIFY event (aastra-xml) with or without XML content.
If XML content is provided in the SIP NOTIFY, it is processed directly by the
phone as it is done for an XML PUSH.
If the content is empty in the SIP NOTIFY, the phone automatically triggers a new
pre-configured action uri (action uri xml sip notify).
Example of a SIP NOTIFY with XML Content

D

ra
f

t1

NOTIFY sip:200@10.30.100.103:5060 SIP/2.0
Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 10.30.100.103:5060;branch=z9hG4bK7bbc1fac;rport
From: ;tag=81be2861f3
To: Jacky200 
Contact: 
Call-ID: 59638f5d95c9d301
CSeq: 4 NOTIFY
Max-Forwards: 70
Event: aastra-xml
Content-Type: application/xml
Content-Length: 115


When the phone receives the SIP NOTIFY, the XML content is processed as any
XML object. In the above example, the phone calls http://10.30.100.39/XMLtests/
SampleTextScreen.xml after reception of the SIP NOTIFY.
Note: The phone supports all the current XML objects with all

the existing limitations. For example if an
AastraIPPhoneExecute is used, the embedded uri(s) can not be
HTTPS based.

Content-Type: application/xml
Content-Length: 0

ra
f

When the phone receives the SIP NOTIFY, it will trigger the action uri xml sip
notify parameter,if it has been previously configured using the configuration files
or the Aastra Web UI. If the action uri xml sip notify parameter is not
configured, the phone does not do anything.
On the phone side, a System Administrator can enable or disable this SIP
NOTIFY feature using the configuration files or the phone Web UI.

D

Also to ensure that the SIP NOTIFY is coming from a trusted source, it is
recommended that you enable the Whitelist feature (Whitelist Proxy parameter)
on the IP phone. If enabled, and the phone receives a SIP NOTIFY from a server
that is NOT on the whitelist, the phone rejects the message.
Reference
For information on enabling/disabling XMLSIP Notify, see Chapter 6, the section,
“XML SIP Notify Events.”
