Aastra Phones

The easiest way to setup an Aastra phone is from the web interface of the phone. The first step is to get the IP address of the phone. The various models are similar enough that we can use the Aastra 480i as our example phone. To find the IP address of the phone, follow these instructions:

1.   Press the “Options” key (This is a button labelled with the Aastra “A” logo on older models)
2.   Scroll down to “Network”
3.   Press “Show” button
4.   Enter 22222
5.   Scroll down to IP Address
6.   Press “Show” button

When you are ready to configure the phone, browse to the IP address that you found using a web browser. When prompted, enter the following information:

Login: admin
Password: 22222

In the left hand menu, select the Global SIP link. Here we will set the IP address or host name that our phone will point to in order to register. Change the Proxy Server and Registrar Server to point to your VoIPtel CE system.
After you have the first set of settings finished, click on the Line 1 link in the left hand navigation to start to configure the account settings. The screen name, phone number, Caller ID, and Authentication name will all be the extension number we setup in User Extensions on the PBX. The Password is the Secret that we set for the extension. After you have saved your settings, click on the Reset link in the left hand navigation to restart the phone.
As long as you used the correct information for the extension that you created in the User Extensions on the PBX, the phone should register to the PBX as long as they are on the same network.
