Hardware related differentiating factors

There are two product lines available: optiPoint 410 S and optiPoint 420 S. The difference is that the 410 S models support paper labels for the programable feature keys, whilst the 420 S provide self-labeling keys (LCD).

Within the optiPoint 410 S and optiPoint 420 S family, the user can choose among different hardware models:

Phone model	Display	Self-labeling keys	Dialog keys	Function keys	Full duplex handsfree mode	build-in LAN Switch	Adapter- support	Adapter slots	Headset port	USB master port

Documentation

All optiPoint phones are shipped with a printed document providing brief instruction regarding installation and operation. For both user and administrators, a comprehensive and updated documentation is provided as PDF files. Depending on the system environment, the user may choose between HiPath 8000, BroadSoft and Sylantro specific documentation.

Firmware / Software

The SIP firmware provides encryption capabilities. Hence its distribution must follow legal requirements which do not allow unrestricted SW distribution via the Internet. The firmware is only provided by Siemens technicians or by official Siemens Partners. Customers with self-care contracts will have access to SW within the SEBA Web portal.

The firmware of the optiPoint SIP phones comprises two components:

netboot - This component provides low level features (like Boot process, LAN connectivity). This component is not changed once a phone has been produced and/or is in operation. However, new features may be provided during the ongoing development and production process of the optiPoint phones.
application - This component contains all features for call handling, signalling, audio control, user interface and language support. It is continuously developed and this takes takes place:
- version based, introducing significant features or feature packages
- update based, introducing limited features or feature enhancements
- based on Software Maintenance Release, providing fault corrections

Application SW can be downloaded to the phone via FTP. The actual application SW version is V6.

Mass deployment

What do we mean with “deployment” ?
The installation of an IP phone in general requires integrating the phone into an IP infrastructure specific to the customer’s or user’s needs. This integration normally requires some activities on all components involved, i.e. on the IP phone and on other components like application servers and routers.
Additionally to the hardware related tasks like providing LAN cables and setting up the necessary power supply, this integration also covers adapting the IP phone to the individual customer configuration by setting various parameters to appropriate values. In this article we will use the term “deployment” for this task, including the provisioning of new software to the IP phone. Sometimes the term “provisioning” is used instead of “deployment”.

Individual phones can be easily set up using the local menue and the keypad or - more comfortable and even remotely - the phone's web administration. Larger companies or voice service providers have to install and maintain hundreds or thousands of phones, requiring mass deployment capabilities.

Mass deployment – how it works

IP terminals offer a range of functions and characteristics that were unknown or technically impossible in analog or early digital system environments (for example, ISDN). But increased product flexibility requires more complex technology. For this reason, it is essential that VoIP devices be optimally configured for users while at the same time expenditure (costs, time, training) must be kept to a minimum for service providers. Different scenarios have different requirements. However the following factors are critical for all solutions:

Minimum network intervention or modification
No inflexible or costly preconfiguration at the terminal
No or minimum (one-off) user activities

There are two main scenarios:

Using the HiPath Deployment Service tool (DLS) or
Using (XML-) configuration files

Add-on devices, Adapters and Accessories
