Why Do My IP Phone Screens Look Different?
If you install an AastraLink Pro 160 on your existing IP phone network, then you
will notice some phone UI changes when you register the phones with the device.
Users who previously operated their IP phones in generic SIP mode should note
the following information:
Some menu options no longer appear on the Aastra IP phone UI, or are
located on different screens. See the AastraLink IP Phone User’s Guide.
The Aastra IP phone UI displays several new menu options that apply to the
AastraLink Pro 160 device itself.
Why Does The Web UI Occasionally Time-out?
For security reasons, the Web UI automatically logs a user off after 10 minutes of
inactivity. The Web UI displays the login screen, along with a message informing
you to log back in again. The Web UI may also temporarily disconnect the session
if a temporary error occurs while connected to the AastraLink during processing
of a data load or save operation; waiting a few minutes before logging back in and
repeating the operation should generally be successful.
How Do I Maximize System Performance?
To maximize system performance, Aastra requires connecting the AastraLink to a
full-duplex Ethernet device, such as a router or switch, rather than a half-duplex
device such as a hub.
For example, if you are experiencing network problems such as garbled
voice-path or Web UI time-outs, check the front LED on the AastraLink device. If
it is slowly flashing red - about once per second - then the AastraLink is running
normally, but in a degraded state. (a full-duplex network connection could not be
negotiated). This causes timeouts, restricts the system capacity and/or causes
problems with collisions or integrity of the network connection.
