How can I monitor the phones IP traffic?

Best way, just configure the PC-port of your OpenStage phone as a mirror of the first one and trace phones IP traffic with a network tracer running on the PC connected to the phones PC-port.

What is a phone-trace?

It is a capture of messages and activity states of the phone.

How can I get a phone-trace?

Traces section in WBM
The tracing is enabled via the Web interface, actions are then performed on the phone, during which the trace information is captured. When the desired actions have been performed, the captured trace information can be downloaded and viewed.
For enabling tracing just enter the WBM, chosse Administrator Pages and select Diagnostics. There you can enter the Fault trace configuration or use an EasyTrace Profil.
When you are not sure which profil to choose, enter the Fault trace configuration, there you can set traces in detail.
The file size should be set to 6290000 bytes. When the file size is reached, the phone save the trace file as old trace file and begins a new one. If the new one reaches the maximum file size, the old trace file will be replaced.
You should only activate a few traces and use the function "Automatic clear before start" (old files will be deleted)

Error codes

When do I see the error codes?

Whenever a phone is unable to register it brings up a message (No telephony possible) together with an error code. The error code helps you to identify where the problem is.

List of error codes

For complete List see Administration Manual

Error code Error Condition Error Cause
D02 Unable to contact DHCP

Please note the last part of the Error code indicates the priority, and this one will be updated to the highest priority of the present errors. For example: If the LAN cable is plugged off the phone will show LP1 at first, after the connection between phone and system times out the phone would normaly also display H02 as a registration error, however due to the LP1 indicating a Priority 1 error the priority of the H0 error will be updated from 2 to 1 so it will show up like H01.

Codecs

What codecs are supported with OpenStage?

- G.711 (A-Law and u-Law)
- G.729AB (OpenStage can decode G.729 and G.729A but encodes only with G.729A)
- G.722 wideband codec

LDAP

Accessing the LDAP server is only available on OpenStage 60 or 80 devices.

What is the purpose of a LDAP template?

A LDAP template has to be downloaded to the phone via local phone menu or WBM, because it contains necessary information about the search attributes and the location of all user data inside the directory.

Where do I get the template from?

It is a plain txt file and must fit your directory environment. The configuration for a Microsoft Active Directory would look like this:
OpenStage LDAP TEMPLATE (v.1)
SEARCHBASE="CN=Users,DC=microsoft,DC=com"
ATTRIB01="sn"
ATTRIB02="givenName"
ATTRIB03="telephoneNumber"
ATTRIB04="otherTelephone"
ATTRIB05="mobile"
ATTRIB06="homePhone"
ATTRIB07="company"
ATTRIB08="department"
ATTRIB09="l"
ATTRIB10="title"
ATTRIB11="mail"
EOF
If your are not using a Microsoft AD, you have to adjust the template:
OpenStage LDAP TEMPLATE (v.1)
SEARCHBASE="CN=Users,DC=yourdomain,DC=toplevel"
ATTRIB01="Last Name"
ATTRIB02="First Name"
ATTRIB03="Business phone numer 1"
ATTRIB04="Business phone numer 2"
ATTRIB05="Mobile phone number"
ATTRIB06="Home phone number"
ATTRIB07="Company"
ATTRIB08="Address 1"
ATTRIB09="Address 2"
ATTRIB10="Job function"
ATTRIB11="E-Mail address"
EOF

Configuration at the phone.

Besides the template, add the following information in the admin menu of the OpenStage SIP phone: Admin --> Local functions --> Directory Settings
  • LDAP server address
  • LDAP server port
  • LDAP authentication (if Simple, add authentication information below)

Restrictions

Up to now, the address is saved in one single field, which makes it difficult to search for a complete address. It is up to the administrator to which subject of the Directory the address fields are matched with.

Web-based-Management (WBM)

With the WBM are changes in settings possible, which can also be performed in the phone-menu, but you have the adventage that you needn't be in front of the phone.
Trace-configuration is only possible in WBM.

What file types are supported?

OpenStage 40 phones support BMP format (monochrome; 1 bit color depth).
OpenStage 60/80 phones support PNG and JPG format, but PNG is the preferred file type because of the transparency feature.
A logo file has to be resized to 144 x 32 pixel (OpenStage 40), 240 x 71 pixel (OpenStage 60) or 480 x 142 pixel (OpenStage 80)
For a HowTo, see Administration Manual OpenStage HiPath 3000/4000, chapter 4.1.3

How can I return to the default logo?

If you like to return to the standard logo feel free to download the respective file and deploy it to the phone.

Below you can find all default logo files for OpenStage 80/60/40:

Can I show a logo with key labelling help?

In some situations it may be helpful to have a verbal reference of the keys available. This can be very easily reached, if you download a key-Reference logo on your phone.

Screensaver

Can I use my own pictures for the screensaver slideshow?

Yes, this is possible. Easiest way doing this, is with the help of the OpenStage Manager tool. It transfers all the pictures to the phone, makes them fit best on the screen and can help saving memory.

Which formats are supported?

The supported formats are JPG and PNG.

How many pictures can be downloaded?

This depends on the memory usage for other user data (eg. phonebook entries, ringer tones). The total memory available is limited to 8 MB.

Local phonebook

Is it possible to synchronize my Outlook contacts with OpenStage?

This can be done with the OpenStage Manager.
You need following Canonical Dial settings
This is a sample for a client on number +49 2302 98038-11
Local country code: 49
National prefix digit: 0
Local national code: 2302
Min. local number length: 5
Local enterprise node: 98038
PSTN access code: 0
International access code: 00
and you need following Canonical Dial Lookup settings
local code: 98038
international code: +49230298038

How can I get my mobile phone contacts to OpenStage?

Using the Bluetooth functionality of OpenStage 60 and 80. Via Bluetooth you can easily transfer a contact as a vCard (if supported by the mobile phone).

Ringer tones

What file types are supported?

In general, WAV and MIDI files are supported on all 4 phone types. Additionally, OpenStage 60 and 80 can play MP3 files.

Is there a suggestion for MP3 files?

OpenStage 60 and 80 can play MP3 files from 32 kbit/s up to 320 kbit/s (stereo and mono). Because of a limitation of the space available (8 MB in total), the following is suggested:
- mono instead of stereo sound
- a constant bitrate between 64 and 96 kbit/s
- a maximum length of 15 seconds per file
See the following table for estimated file size
64 kbit/s (mono) 80 kbit/s (mono) 96 kbit/s (mono)
Length 5 seconds 40 KB 50 KB 60 KB
Length 10 seconds 80 KB 100 KB 120 KB
Length 15 seconds 120 KB 150 KB 180 KB

How can I download my own ringer melodies to the OS 60/80 phones?

This can be done by using the OpenStage Manager. As an instance of ringtones, several MP3 files can be found here.

How can I download my own ringer melodies to the OS 20/40 phone?

This can be done via ftp. If you want to replace it, you need to download a new file with the same name. Of course a factory resets turns the phone in the original state and eleminates individual downloaded ringer files.

Music-On-Hold (MoH)

What file types are supported?

In general, WAV and MIDI files are supported on all 4 phone types. Additionally, OpenStage 60 and 80 can play MP3 files.

Is there a suggestion for MP3 files?

OpenStage 60 and 80 can play MP3 files from 32 kbit/s up to 320 kbit/s (stereo and mono). Because of a limitation of the space available (8 MB in total), the following is suggested:
- mono instead of stereo sound
- a constant bitrate between 64 and 96 kbit/s
- a maximum length of 15 seconds
- there can only be one single Music on Hold file at once
See the following table for estimated file size
64 kbit/s (mono) 80 kbit/s (mono) 96 kbit/s (mono)
Length 5 seconds 40 KB 80 KB 120 KB
Length 10 seconds 50 KB 100 KB 150 KB
Length 15 seconds 60 KB 120 KB 180 KB
