Administrator’s Guide SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP

Local User and Administrator Privilege Levels

Several local settings menus are protected with two privilege levels, user and administrator, each with its own password. The phone will prompt for either the user or administrator password before granting access to the various menu options. When the user password is requested, the administrator password will also work. The web server is protected by the administrator password (refer to Configuring SoundPoint IP / SoundStation IP Phones Locally on page 4-50).

Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server or locally:

Settings menu or through configuration parameters (refer to Flash

 

 

Parameter Configuration on page A-100). Passwords can consist of

 

 

ASCII characters 32-127 (0x20-0x7F) only.

 

 

Changes are saved to local flash but are not backed up to <Ethernet

 

 

address>-phone.cfgon the boot server for security reasons.

 

 

 

Custom Certificates

 

The phone trusts certificates issued by widely recognized certificate

 

authorities when trying to establish a connection to a boot server for

 

application provisioning. Refer to Trusted Certificate Authority List on page

 

C-1.

 

In addition, custom certificates can be added to the phone. This is done by

 

using the SSL Security menu on the phone to provide the URL of the custom

 

certificate then select an option to use this custom certificate.

Note

 

For more information on using custom certificates, refer to “Technical Bulletin

 

17877: Using Custom Certificates With SoundPoint IP Phones” at
