== Server/Proxy/Registrar == | == Server/Proxy/Registrar == | ||
| − | ==== | + | ==== On what systems, servers or proxies can I operate optiPoint SIP phones? ==== |
| + | |||
| + | : In principle the devices can be operated on any standard-compatible SIP system (SIP V2, RFC 3261). | ||
| + | : To ensure reliable operation with all the required functions from the outset, the products are qualified on a range of systems – details can be found in the respective [[optiPoint_410/420_S#Documentation|data sheets]]. | ||
| − | + | ==== Do the optiPoint SIP phones support server-dependent features? ==== | |
| − | |||
| − | + | : A range of manufacturer-specific function versions are available on the basis of standardized SIP mechanisms.

| − | + | ==== What does [[NAT]] mean, what is a [[STUN]] server and when it is necessary? ==== | |
| − | + | : The operation of an SIP phone by a VoIP provider requires special settings and releases to facilitate the transportation of voice ([[RTP]] protocol) and connection information ([[SIP]] protocol) across network boundaries (e.g. between a private LAN and the network of the VoIP provider). | |
| + | : One of these special settings is controlled by the [[NAT]] ('''N'''etwork '''A'''ddress '''T'''ranslation protocol). | ||
| + | : More on the topic of [[NAT]] in connection with voice over IP can be found under {{wp|en|Network_address_translation}}, for example. | ||
| − | : | + | : Some VoIP providers use [[NAT]] within their own network, which means the subscriber does not need to make any special settings such as activating a [[STUN]] server function ('''S'''imple '''T'''raversal of '''U'''DP through '''N'''ATs) or using an ''Application Layer Gateway''. Ask your VoIP provider directly whether you need to activate the [[STUN]] server function on your phone. |

Phone Connection
What connection variants are available in the optiPoint 410/420 product series?
- The optiPoint IP phones come in two connection variants:
- optiPoint 410 and optiPoint 420 (in various designs)
- This connection variant is shipped with the Siemens CorNet IP protocol (HFA). This variant uses the H.323 protocol in combination with the H.235 Annex D security protocol. This model variant is intended for operation on Siemens HiPath systems such as HiPath 2000, HiPath 3000/5000 or HiPath 4000.
- optiPoint 410 S and optiPoint 420 S (in various designs)
- This connection variant is shipped with the SIP protocol (RFC 3261). This variant is suitable for operation on Siemens HiPath systems such as OpenScape Voice, SURPASS Hosted Office solutions with hiQ4200 application servers or other communication platforms that support the SIP protocol (RFC 3261) (e.g. Sylantro or Broadsoft).
What type of power supply can I use for the optiPoint phone?
- If you have it set up, you should use Power over Ethernet. You do not then need to use a separate power supply unit and there are fewer cables which could cause interference.
- For more on PoE see also optiPoint power supply and PoE classes.
- If PoE is not available, use the separately available genuine power supply unit. The power supply unit is available in different output variants for European countries, Great Britain, and the USA.
Standards and Protocols
What SIP standard do the optiPoint SIP phones support?
- The development of the optiPoint SIP phones is determined by the generally available SIP standards developed and documented within the framework of the IETF. In addition to the current SIP standard, RFC 3261, a whole series of other IETF standards are supported – contact your sales partner for further details.
What address components (ports) does an optiPoint 410/420 S support/use?
- A detailed list of the ports supported/used can be found in the administration manual for optiPoint 410/420 S phones.
What network protocols are supported for voice transmission with SIP?
- The following network protocols are supported:
Server/Proxy/Registrar
On what systems, servers or proxies can I operate optiPoint SIP phones?
- In principle the devices can be operated on any standard-compatible SIP system (SIP V2, RFC 3261).
- To ensure reliable operation with all the required functions from the outset, the products are qualified on a range of systems – details can be found in the respective data sheets.
Do the optiPoint SIP phones support server-dependent features?
- A range of manufacturer-specific function versions are available on the basis of standardized SIP mechanisms. The optiPoint SIP phones easily adapt to these through selection of the appropriate server profile during installation. Details can be found in the respective data sheets and the administrator manuals.
What does NAT mean, what is a STUN server and when it is necessary?
- The operation of an SIP phone by a VoIP provider requires special settings and releases to facilitate the transportation of voice (RTP protocol) and connection information (SIP protocol) across network boundaries (e.g. between a private LAN and the network of the VoIP provider).
- One of these special settings is controlled by the NAT (Network Address Translation protocol).
- More on the topic of NAT in connection with voice over IP can be found under
Network_address_translation, for example.
- Some VoIP providers use NAT within their own network, which means the subscriber does not need to make any special settings such as activating a STUN server function (Simple Traversal of UDP through NATs) or using an Application Layer Gateway. Ask your VoIP provider directly whether you need to activate the STUN server function on your phone.
How assign Message Waiting Indication (MWI)?
- The settings for Adminstration of the oP410/420S contains in the SIP Enviroment/Miscellaneous two fileds for Message Waiting Indication:
- - Message Waiting IP address or DNS name
- - Voicemail Number
- The MWI is only working if one of the field contains an entry.
- In every case, that the message can get via Number and/or over the Proxy/Server the field "Voicemail number" must be used (most of the cases)
- Only in the case, that the Message Server has nothing to do with the Proxy/Server and there are no dialling Number available,
- the assignment will be make over the filed "Message Waiting IP address or DNS name"

IP address assignment via DHCP
- The administration manual describes the startup process for the phone with and without DHCP as well as with and without VLAN (see the chapter "Installation/Startup Procedure").
|
When using older LAN components, the phone may not be assigned an IP address despite there being a functioning DHCP server in the LAN. If this happens, please deactivate the QoS activation on layer 2 and layer 3 via the local administration menu or WBM and restart the device. |
