Aastra Telecom 1000 manual Phone Type

Phone Type

It is necessary to enter the MAC address of each telephone. The telephones have a barcode with the MAC ID printed on them. The phone type is a drop down list for selecting which IP phone hardware is being used on the extension. IPitomy supports Aastra and Polycom phones and will be adding additional phone types in the future. When the phone type is selected, another configuration option is available to program the button mapping of each telephone model. The IPitomy 1000 supports a variety of pre-programmed buttons like BLF, park, voicemail, as well as, speed dial buttons. Each phone can be configured for its own unique set of buttons.

Phone MAC

All of the IP phones have a MAC Address. The MAC ID identifies the piece of equipment for configuration. The auto configuration features of IPitomy rely on the MAC address to load the proper configuration files into the telephone when changes are made in the Web-based interface. The configuration files are stored on the IPitomy 1000 and used when the phone powers back on after a power down cycle. If the configuration files have been updated when the phone powers back on, a new configuration is loaded into the phone. When the new configuration file is loaded, the settings on the phone take priority and will be kept in tact during the upgrade. Note that at this time only Aastra phones require and utilize the MAC address in the phone settings.
