Methods of Installation
The firmware set up and installation
for the 480i CT can be done through
the Options List available directly
from the phone or through the
Aastra
480i CT Web Client
web interface.
When the 480i CT is initialized for the
first time, DHCP is enabled by default.
The DHCP server passes information
to the 480i CT so that it can configure
itself for subsequent IP PBX addresses
and normal runtime operations.
The following considerations must be
made before connecting the 480i CT
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 “
Configuring the 480i
CT 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.
• Every PBX system that interacts
with the 480i CT phones requires
adherence to the SIP Standard.
To find out how to hook up the
cabling to your 480i CT phone, please
refer to the
Aastra 480i CT Installation
Guide
.
