3.5Licensing

Operating the Aastra 800 communications system requires to purchase the nec- essary software license. The Aastra 800 provides basic licenses (see also the chapter entitled Technical Specifications starting on page 127) which cover basic features and are sufficient for many applications. If you need additional or enhanced features, you can purchase additional activation keys and activate them in the Configurator on the System: Licences page.

You need new activation keys, if the serial number changes. Contact your dealer or the Aastra DeTeWe sales department for new activation keys if required.

In an existing LAN, you usually already have the Internet Protocol (IP) for net- working computers in use. The installation and commissioning of the Aastra 800 communications system on a running Windows operating system networked with IP can thus be done quickly and with little complication. This chapter explains the technical details that are important for operating the Aastra 800 communications system.

3.6.1 Configuring a Fixed IP Address

The fixed IP address of the LAN connection must be set manually. The IP address you have to use for the Aastra 800 communications system should be coordinated with the network administrator in charge.

Do not configure a dynamic DHCP-assigned IP address for the LAN connection. When a IP address change is initiated via DHCP on occasion, for example, all ongoing VoIP connections will be interrupted without prior warning. You may pos- sibly have to even restart connected VoIP devices. During installation the instal-
