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?
- 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.

- 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)

List of error codes
For complete List see Administration Manual
Error code Error Condition Error Cause D02 Unable to contact DHCP H2[ Unable to register HFA main line Logoff: Forced client logoff due to an incorrect PreSharedSecret H02 Unable to register HFA main line General Error H12 Unable to register HFA main line No IP address H22 Unable to register HFA main line No default route H32 Unable to register HFA main line No mask H42 Unable to register HFA main line No gateway IP address H52 Unable to register HFA main line No subscriber number H62 Unable to register HFA main line Tc-logon timeout Ha2 Unable to register HFA main line Logon: Rejected due to missing LIN HA2 Unable to register HFA main line Logon: Maintenance busy Hb2 Unable to register HFA main line Logon: Rejected due to invalid LIN HB2 Unable to register HFA main line Logon: No port available Hc2 Unable to register HFA main line Logon: Rejected due to mobile terminal blocked Hd2 Unable to register HFA main line Logon: Rejected due to incompatible security profile HD2 Unable to register HFA main line Logon: No port ext available He2 Unable to register HFA main line Logon: Rejected due to TCP usage while TLS is required HE2 Unable to register HFA main line Logon: Client not registered Hf2 Unable to register HFA main line Logon: Reject due to PBX version not sufficient HF2 Unable to register HFA main line Logon: Rejected due to Logoff HG2 Unable to register HFA main line Logon: Rejected due to Logoff progress HH2 Unable to register HFA main line Logon: Rejected due to Shutdown HI2 Unable to register HFA main line Logon: Rejected due to duplicate Logon HJ2 Unable to register HFA main line Logon: Rejected due to already logged on HK2 Unable to register HFA main line Logon: Rejected due to PIN not present HL2 Unable to register HFA main line Logon: Rejected due to password not present HM2 Unable to register HFA main line Logon: Rejected due to password not correct HN2 Unable to register HFA main line Logon: Rejected due to invalid license HQ2 Unable to register HFA main line Logoff: Normal Logoff HR2 Unable to register HFA main line Logoff: Client not logged on HS2 Unable to register HFA main line Logoff: Client logged off HT2 Unable to register HFA main line Logoff: Forced client logoff HU2 Unable to register HFA main line Logoff: Timeout expired HV2 Unable to register HFA main line Logoff: OMCaction HW2 Unable to register HFA main line Logoff: Hfa mobile user logged on HX2 Unable to register HFA main line Logoff: Switch back to central system HY2 Unable to register HFA main line Logoff: No bearer channel HZ2 Unable to register HFA main line Logoff: New logon requested from the server LI1 Unable to use LAN connection Network Configuration Error LP1 Unable to use LAN connection Physical connection error LX1 Unable to use LAN connection 802.1x errors TT2 Unable to establish a TLS connection No SNTP server
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)

LDAP
|
Accessing to (corporate) directories via LDAP is available for all OpenStage HFA Phones, as well for OpenScape DeskPhone IP 35G/55G. (Update for HFA V3) |
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.
