Cross mobility is released with the following restriction: Mobility between OpenStage and optiPoint410/420 phones is released with OpenStage SW version V2R0.16.0 and higher but please take notice of some minor restrictions/ details to be taken into account (see information below). With OpenStage SW version V2R0.16.0 and higher the "mobility log-on/ log-off" is released for mobile users logging in or off from any OpenStage SIP to optiPoint 410/420 SIP and vice versa. However: There are a few details and shortcomings to be taken into account when it comes to creating a mobile user in DLS and the interworking of default settings especially for multi-line appearance (position of the keys while using mobility and the key layout). In order to both understand and gain an overview on details to be taken into account please refer to the "Cross Mobility" document

=== Use of Bluetooth headset with OpenStage ===
 +
 
 +
==== How can I automatically reconnect my BT headset after I have lost connection ?  ====
 +
OpenStage offers the bluetooth "headset profile" to support bluetooth headsets. However there are some bluetooth headsets on the market that also use the "hands-free profile" especially e.g. to automatically reconnect a headset after the headset has lost the connection. The "hands-free profile" will be implemeted in OpenStage but is currently not available.
 +
 
 +
==== How can I check if my headset is connected? ====
 +
On the display of your OpenStage phone, right next to the bluetooth symbol you see a small additional symbol that looks like two waves.
 +
 
 +
==== What is the current work-around? ====
 +
For incoming calls there is no problem because OpenStage reconnects the Bluetooth headset automatically when a call comes in.
 +
Thus there is only a need for a workaround for outgoing calls: If you want to make a call using the headset you can push the on/off-hook key of the headset once before dialling. This reconnects the headset again and you don't have to go into the menu structure of the OpenStage to do it.

General

What documents are available for the OpenStage phones and where do I find them?

All OpenStage phones are shipped with a printed document in multiple languages providing brief instructions regarding installation and operation. All the others are here on this Wiki.

How do I get an overview of the features of the OpenStage phones?

What are the default passwords?

User Menu: no password
Admin Menu: 123456
Factory Reset: 124816

Security Advisory: ensure that the default passwords (both user and admin access) are changed to individual complex passwords when a phone gets into operation. This is especially important in deployment scenarios where remote administration via WBM (web-based management) is enabled.

How can I invoke a soft-Restart?

Press buttons osk-1.gif osk-4.gif osk-7.gif simultaneously and enter the admin password.

How can I invoke a factory reset?

Press buttons osk-2.gif osk-8.gif osk-9.gif simultaneously and enter the reset password.

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/SIP 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.
The file size should be set to 2.500.000 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)

Which trace-actions are available?

Compatibility

Can I move a Mobile User between an optiPoint and an OpenStage telephone and vice versa?

Cross mobility is released with the following restriction: Mobility between OpenStage and optiPoint410/420 phones is released with OpenStage SW version V2R0.16.0 and higher but please take notice of some minor restrictions/ details to be taken into account (see information below). With OpenStage SW version V2R0.16.0 and higher the "mobility log-on/ log-off" is released for mobile users logging in or off from any OpenStage SIP to optiPoint 410/420 SIP and vice versa. However: There are a few details and shortcomings to be taken into account when it comes to creating a mobile user in DLS and the interworking of default settings especially for multi-line appearance (position of the keys while using mobility and the key layout). In order to both understand and gain an overview on details to be taken into account please refer to the "Cross Mobility" document

LDAP

Accessing the LDAP server is only available on OpenStage 40, 60 or 80 devices.

What is the purpose of a LDAP template?

See also: LDAP on OpenStage

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="OU=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="OU=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.

User Data

Keep in mind that the user space on

  • Openstage 60/80 is limited to 8 MB (total).
  • Openstage 15/20/40 is limited to 4 MB (total).

Every picture, ringtone or phonebook entry will reduce the space left!

File limits

Ring-tones

  • File size: 1000000 Bytes max per file
  • Number of files: no limit (memory related)

Screensavers

  • File size: 300000 Bytes max per file
  • Number of files: no limit (memory related)

USB support to backup/restore user data

Which OpenStage SIP phones provide an USB port and what kind of USB port do they have?

The OpenStage 60 SIP and OpenStage 80 SIP provide an USB master port.

What can I connect to this port?

You can connect an USB memory stick to back-up and restore personal data, like phonebook, ringer tones and pictures (for details see below). All data you find under SettingsUser (no admin data).

The hardware of the OpenStage SIP phones does not allow for connecting a USB hub (e.g. acoustic unit). This might be supported in a future release.

What USB features can I use?

  • Backup of data into USB (with a password, and then it is encrypted)
  • Restore of data from USB (with a password, and then it is decrypted)
  • Encryption/Decryption of the backup data (storing on USB memory stick and loading data from USB memory stick is encrypted)
  • Replace backup
  • Delete backup
  • HotPlug device
  • ColdPlug device
  • Getting product name (the phone is told the USB device name)

Can I store more than one phone configuration on an USB memory stick?

Yes. It depends only on the size of memory of the USB memory stick.

Logo (Background picture)

How can I put my own company logo or background picture on the phone?

This can either be done by local phone menu or Webbased management. The logo file has to be placed on a FTP server, where the phone can download it.

What file types are supported?

OpenStage 40 phones support BMP format (monochrome).
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 OpenScape Voice, chapter 5.2.

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:

OpenStage 80, Design: Silver Blue, PNG: OpenStage 60 / Desk Phone IP 55G, Design: Silver Blue, PNG: OpenStage 40, BMP:

Local phonebook

Is it possible to synchronize my Outlook contacts with OpenStage?

This can be done with the OpenStage Manager (supported by OpenStage 60, OpenStage 80 and Desk Phone IP 55G).

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?

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

How can I download my own ringer melodies to the OpenStage 15/20/40 phone?

This can be done via FTP or Deployment Service. 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.
MIDI files are used from SIP V2 R1 onward instead of WAV files.

Use of Bluetooth headset with OpenStage

How can I automatically reconnect my BT headset after I have lost connection ?

OpenStage offers the bluetooth "headset profile" to support bluetooth headsets. However there are some bluetooth headsets on the market that also use the "hands-free profile" especially e.g. to automatically reconnect a headset after the headset has lost the connection. The "hands-free profile" will be implemeted in OpenStage but is currently not available.

How can I check if my headset is connected?

On the display of your OpenStage phone, right next to the bluetooth symbol you see a small additional symbol that looks like two waves.

What is the current work-around?

For incoming calls there is no problem because OpenStage reconnects the Bluetooth headset automatically when a call comes in. Thus there is only a need for a workaround for outgoing calls: If you want to make a call using the headset you can push the on/off-hook key of the headset once before dialling. This reconnects the headset again and you don't have to go into the menu structure of the OpenStage to do it.
