Preparing To Deploy Remote User Phones
The administrator must do the following three steps before deploying Aastra IP
phones to a remote site:
1. Enable remote access support on the AastraLink Pro 160, and configure
remote access parameters.
Depending on your network configuration and requirements, you may also
choose to configure firewall parameters, specify port mappings, etc. prior to
deploying remote user IP phones. See “Editing Local Service Settings” on
page 4-26 of this guide for instructions.
Note: Perform either of the following step 2 or step 3, but not both.
2. (Optional) Register the IP phones with the AastraLink Pro 160 at the central
site.
Registering the Aastra IP phones with the AastraLink Pro 160 before
deployment ensures that the phones reflect the central site configuration and
security parameters. See “Registering IP Phones At the Central Site” on
page A-4.
3. (Optional) Supply remote users with the following networking information,
which allows them to connect to the IP phone network at the central site:
— IP Address of the AastraLink Pro 160.
— HTTP port the IP phone will use to communicate with the AastraLink Pro
160 web server.
As a security restriction to prevent unauthorized use of AastraLink Pro
service, remote office IP phones cannot be registered using the external public
IP address and port. The phone's MAC address must be added to the
AastraLink Pro database either by pre-registering it on the local network first,
or by using the <Add Phone> option at the location Users->User List in the
administrator menus.
