What options do the programmable function keys on the optiPoint phone offer?
- The function keys on the optiPoint phones are freely programmable and can be assigned various functions. This can be done using all available configuration methods, for example programming a function key on the device itself, programming via the Web interface or programming via DLS. Details on programming the function keys can be found in the respective user manual.
- For convenient labelling of the function keys on the optiPoint 410 S you can use the Online Key Labelling Tool or alternatively fill in the label strips supplied with the phone by hand.
- The optiPoint 420 S features a self-labelling function. The description of the key is shown on a small LCD display beside the function key. Labelling is performed automatically when a function key is programmed. The key designation can, however, be changed whenever you want. Details on the self-labelling function can be found in the respective user manual.
How can I speed up dialling?
- The time that expires between entering digits and dialling is six seconds in as-delivered condition. This time can be set to a value between one and nine seconds via the appropriate settings.
- optiPoint phones offer the option of setting up a (local dial plan). When a specific numerical sequence predefined by the dial plan is entered and identified, dialling is started immediately.
- For example, a dial plan for entering codes for HiPath systems (feature access codes) in the format
*AB#
can be defined. A and B in this case stand for the digits between 0 and 9, which together with the asterisk character (*) form the code. This can, for example, activate or deactivate a specific function in a HiPath system.
Phone Administration
What options are available for administration of the optiPoint phone?
- The optiPoint can be configured via the local phone menu (using the keypad and display).
- A more convenient way of configuring the optiPoint phone is via the integrated Web interface, which can be called up using a Web browser.
- If you are using a number of optiPoint phones we recommend that you use the Deployment Service (DLS) administration tool. This tool can be downloaded free of charge from the Internet. Plug&Play is supported if the DHCP-option 43 is available on the DHCP server. This means that in an ideal scenario, the optiPoint phone is automatically supplied with the necessary software and all necessary configuration data as soon as it is plugged into the network and can be used after a few minutes.
- The detailed manual for the DLS is available as a PDF on the DLS overview page for downloading.
- In addition, centralised administration is also possible via (XML) files.
What are the default passwords for the optiPoint 410/420 S phones?
- User password: 000000
- Administrator password: 123456
- Restoration of the factory setting: 124816
How can I access the integrated Web interface?
- To call up the Web interface you need the IP address of the phone.
- You can show the IP address in the display using the local phone menu:
- You can also show the IP address in the display by removing the network cable when the device is switched on and registered in the network via DHCP. When the device is in idle state, the display alternates between "No Network" and the IP address of the device.
- To open the Web interface, enter the IP address of your device in the address line of the Web browser as follows:
-
https://###.###.###.###
(where # stands for the IP address of the device). - Once you have confirmed the input, the GUI of the Web interface will be loaded.
- Log in as administrator (default password: 123456) to be able to access the Web interface.
- In the administration section (local menu:
02=System
>07=SIP addresses
or WBM admin you see two kind of SIP port settings.
- If you provide port numbers in the
Port
fields subsequent to the address fields, then ...- these values will specify the destination port numbers for the SIP messages. This values need to be matched with the port settings on the server/registrar or
- the values are set equal to zero, then the default SIP port numbers will be used - or if DNS SRV is used, the port numbers provided in DNS-SRV responses will apply
- you may specify different SIP ports for registrar and server.
- The field
SIP port
below denotes the sending port used on the phone side.
How do I update the firmware on the phone and where do I get the firmware?
- The optiPoint phones are shipped with a firmware version that is up-to-date at the time of shipping. As part of the continuous further development and improvement of the firmware, more up-to-date patches for the firmware may be made available for the individual phone models after a certain amount of time.
- Updating is recommended and can be quickly and easily performed via one of the administration interfaces such as the Web interface or DLS.
- The distribution of firmware updates for optiPoint phones is subject to statutory regulations such as export controls. For that reason, firmware updates may only be distributed via the SEBA Web portal within the framework of an appropriate software contract.
How do I restart the phone?
- Alternatively you can also perform a restart via the phone's Web interface menu or via the DLS.
How do I reset the factory defaults on the optiPoint phone?
- Detailed step-by-step instructions for the respective phone model can be found on the page on resetting the factory defaults on optiPoint 410/420 S phones.
What steps are required to get the optiPoint phone working with the minimum settings?
- You can commission your optiPoint phone in just a few steps.
- Make sure that the DHCP function of your local network is activated. Once the phone has been switched on and automatically assigned an IP address via DHCP, all that remains is to assign the phone a call number as well as the SIP registrar address and SIP server address. Use the convenient Web interface of the optiPoint phone for these settings.
- Further details on logging in to a communication platform can be found in the document on setting up an optiPoint in an Asterisk environment, for example.
How can I save and restore my personal phone settings?

Welche Art der Stromversorgung kann ich für das optiPoint-Telefon nutzen?
- Sofern bei Ihnen eingerichtet, sollten Sie die Stromversorgung über das Netzwerk (Power over Ethernet) nutzen. Damit entfällt der zusätzliche Einsatz eines separaten Netzteils und es sind weniger Kabel vorhanden, welche stören könnten.
- Zu PoE siehe auch Übersicht zu PoE-Leistungsklassen und Übersicht zur Leistungsaufnahme.
- Ist die Stromversorgung über das Netzwerk nicht möglich, verwenden Sie das separat erhältliche Original-Netzgerät. Das Netzgerät ist für europäische Länder, Großbritannien und den USA in jeweils angepassten Leistungs-Varianten erhältlich.
Standards und Protokolle
Welchen SIP-Standard unterstützen die optiPoint SIP-Telefone?
- Die Entwicklung der optiPoint SIP-Telefone richtet sich nach den allgemein verfügbaren SIP-Standards aus, die im Rahmen der IETF erarbeitet und dokumentiert werden. Neben dem aktuellen SIP-Standard RFC 3261 werden eine ganze Reihe weiterer IETF Standards unterstützt – weitere Details erhalten Sie über Ihren vertrieblichen Ansprechpartner.
Welche Adresskomponenten (Ports) unterstützt bzw. verwendet ein optiPoint 410/420 S?
- Eine detailierte Auflistung der unterstützten bzw. verwendeten Ports finden Sie im Administrationshandbuch für optiPoint 410/420 S-Telefone.
Welche Netzwerkprotokolle werden für die Sprachübertragung bei SIP unterstützt?
- Folgende Netzwerkprotokolle werden unterstützt:
Server/Proxy/Registrar
An welchen Systemen, Servern oder Proxies kann ich optiPoint SIP-Telefone betreiben?
- Grundsätzlich können die Geräte an jedem Standard-kompatiblem SIP-System betrieben werden (SIP V2, RFC 3261).
- Um einen verlässlichen Betrieb mit allen gewünschten Funktionen von Anfang an sicherzustellen, sind die Produkte an eine Reihe von Systemen qualifiziert – Details sind den jeweiligen Datenblättern zu entnehmen.
Unterstützen die optiPoint SIP-Telefone serverabhängige Leistungsmerkmale?
- Auf Basis standardisierter SIP-Mechanismen sind eine Reihe von herstellerspezifischen Ausprägungen von Funktionen verfügbar. Die optiPoint SIP-Telefone passen sich diesen einfach durch die Auswahl des entsprechenden Serverprofils während der Installation an. Details entnehmen Sie bitte den jeweiligen Datenblättern und den Administrationshandbüchern.
Was bedeutet NAT, was ist ein STUN-Server und wann ist er erforderlich?
- Der Betrieb eines SIP-Telefons bei einem VoIP-Anbieter setzt besondere Einstellungen und Freigaben voraus, um den Transport von Sprache (RTP-Protokoll) und Verbindungsinformationen (SIP-Protokoll) über die Netzwerkgrenzen (z. B. zwischen privatem LAN und dem Netzwerk des VoIP-Anbieters) zu ermöglichen.
- Eine dieser besonderen Einstellungen wird durch das NAT (Network Address Translation-Protokoll) gesteuert.
- Mehr zum Thema NAT bei Voice over IP erfahren Sie z. B. unter http://www.mysip.ch/ in der Rubrick SIP and NAT.
- Der Einsatz von NAT geschieht bei einigen VoIP-Anbietern schon im Anbieter-eigenen Netzwerk, wodurch auf Teilnehmerseite keine besonderen Einstellungen, wie z. B. die Aktivierung einer STUN-Server-Funktion (Simple Traversal of UDP through NATs) oder der Einsatz eines Application Layer Gateways) erforderlich ist. Ob Ihr VoIP-Anbieter eine aktivierte STUN-Server-Funktion ihres Telefons voraussetzt, erfragen Sie bitte direkt bei Ihrem VoIP-Anbieter.
- Für Einsatzfälle, die die Einstellmöglichkiet des STUN-Protokolls am Telefon bereits voraussetzen, empfehlen wir das optiPoint 150 S. Installations-Dokumente für einige ausgewählte VoIP-Anbieter finden Sie auf der Seite zur VoIP-Konfigurationsübersicht des optiPoint 150 S.

IP-Adressenvergabe über DHCP
Im Administrationshandbuch ist der „Hochlaufprozess“ des Telefons skizziert, mit/ohne DHCP sowie mit/ohne VLAN (siehe Kapitel „Installation/Startup Procedure“).
Im Zusammenhang mit älteren LAN Komponenten kann es sein, dass das Telefon trotz funktionierenden DHCP-Servers im LAN keine IP Addresse zugewiesen bekommt. Wenn dies der Fall ist, bitte über das lokale Administrationsmenü oder WBM die QoS-Aktivierung auf Layer 2 und Layer 3 deaktivieren und das Gerät neu starten. |
