Firmware Installation Information

Description

The firmware setup and installation for the IP phone can be done using any of the following:

•Phone User Interface via the keypad (Phone UI)

•Aastra Web-based user interface (Aastra Web UI)

When the IP phone is initialized for the first time, DHCP is enabled by default. Depending on the type of configuration server setup you may have, the IP phone may download a firmware version automatically, or you may need to download it manually.

Installation Considerations

The following considerations must be made before connecting the IP phone to the network:

•If you are planning on using dynamic IP addresses, make sure a DHCP server is enabled and running on your network.

•If you are not planning on using dynamic IP addresses, see Chapter 4, the section, “Configuring Network Settings Manually” on page 4-18for manually setting up an IP address.

To install the IP phone hardware and cabling, refer to the <Model-Specific> SIP IP Phone Installation Guide.

Installation Requirements

The following are general requirements for setting up and using your SIP IP phone:

•SIP-based IP PBX system or network installed and running with a SIP account created for the IP phone

•Access to a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server, or Hyper Text Transfer Protocol over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) (HTTPS)

•Ethernet/Fast Ethernet LAN (10/100 Mb) (Gigabit Ethernet LAN [1000 Mbps] recommended for Gigabit Ethernet com- pliant phones)

•Category 5/5e straight through cabling (Category 6 straight-through cabling recommended for Gigabit Ethernet com- pliant phones)

•Power source

–For Ethernet networks that supply inline power to the phone (IEEE 802.3af) use an Ethernet cable to connect from the phone directly to the network for power (no 48V AC power adapter required if using Power-over-Ethernet [PoE])

–For Ethernet networks that DO NOT supply power to the phone:

Use the respective power adaptor to connect from the DC power port on the phone to a power source or

Use a PoE power injector or a PoE switch

Configuration Server Requirement

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

Reference

To set the protocol for your configuration server, see Chapter 4, “Configuring Network and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Features”, the section, “Configuring the Configuration Server Protocol” on page 4-87.

To update the firmware on your phone, see Chapter 8, “Upgrading the Firmware”.
