Methods of Installation
The Þrmware set up and installation for the 480i can be done through the Options List available directly from the phone or through the Aastra 480i Web Client web interface. When the 480i is initialized for the Þrst time, DHCP is enabled by default. The DHCP server passes information to the 480i so that it can conÞgure itself for subsequent IP PBX addresses and normal runtime operations.
The following considerations must be made before connecting the 480i phone to the network:
•If you are planning on using Dynamic IP addresses, make sure a DHCP server is running on your network.
•If you are not planning on using Dynamic IP addresses, refer to the section "ConÞguring the 480i IP Phone" on how to set up an IP address manually.
•Make sure a TFTP server is set up on your network and can accept connections anonymously.
•If you are using SRV queries for your DNS Server on BroadSoft, change both the SIP Proxy Port and SIP Registrar Port settings to zero.
To Þnd out how to hook up the cabling to your 480i phone, please refer to the Aastra 480i Installation Guide.
480i IP Phone Set up
When the 480i is Þrst plugged in or reset it will automatically download any Þrmware updates for the phone. The binary and conÞguration
Þles that are required for the 480i are: "Þrmware.st", "aastra.cfg" and "<mac>.cfg". The settings of the
480i phone, as well as the softkeys and the line keys, can be conÞgured through the conÞguration Þles. Please refer to Appendix A for details on the parameters that can be set for the 480i phone. Please refer to Appendix B for sample conÞguration Þles with all the basic parameters that need to be set in order to register the IP with the PBX.
The following steps illustrate a typical 480i phone setup:
1.If DHCP is disabled, manually enter the TFTP server’s IP address. For details on how to set the TFTP server setting for the 480i, please refer to the section "ConÞguring the 480i IP Phone".
2.Copy the Þrmware Þle
"Þrmware.st" to the root directory of the TFTP server. This Þrmware Þle is downloaded only when it is different than the one the phone is currently using.
3.Copy the Aastra conÞguration Þle "aastra.cfg" and "<mac>.cfg" Þle to the root directory of the TFTP server.
