Startup
Prerequisites
The OpenScape Desk Phone CP acts as an endpoint client on an IP telephony Network, and has
the following Network requirements:
Note Only use switches in the LAN to which the OpenScape Desk Phone CP
phone is connected. An operation at hubs can cause serious malfunctions
in the hub and in the whole Network.
Any secure interface, such as IEEE_802.1x, will require a reliable time source. Thus an SNTP server
is essential for these interfaces. For additional information see: https://wiki.unify.com/wiki/IEEE_

The phone can also be connected to a wireless network via the USB type A port with the Wi-Fi
USB dongle CP10 (see "The OpenScape Desk Phone CP family" à page 11).
Do not unplug the USB dongle during calls, as this disrupts the network connection.
Key modules
A key module provides additional program keys. The following table shows which key modules
can be connected to the particular phone types.
The configuration of a key on the key module is identical to the configuration of a phone key.
Quick start
This section describes the typical setup of an OpenScape Desk Phone CP endpoint in an envir-
onment using a DHCP server and the web interface. For different scenarios, cross-references to
28 Startup
Alternatively, the DLS (Deployment Service) administration tool can be used. Its Plug & Play func-
tionality allows to provide the phone with configuration data by assigning an existing data profile
to the phone’s MAC address or E.164 number. For further information, see the Deployment Service
Administration Manual.
Note Any settings made by a DHCP server are not configurable by other configuration
tools.
l The phone IP address or URL is required for accessing the phone web interface via a web
browser. By default, the phone will automatically search for a DHCP server on start-up
and try to obtain IP data and further configuration parameters from that central server.
l If no DHCP server is available in the IP network or if the DHCP parameter is disabled, the
IP address, subnet mask and default gateway /router must be defined manually.
Procedure
1. Access the local phone admin menu (see "Access via local phone" à page 29).
l If DHCP is enabled (default): In the admin menu, navigate to Network > IPv4 con-
figuration > IP address. The IP address is displayed.
l If DHCP is disabled or if no DHCP server is available in the IP Network, the IP
address, Subnet mask and default router or gateway must be defined (see "Basic
network configuration" à page 30).
2. Open a web browser and enter the IP address, e.g. https://192.168.1.15 or
https://myphone.phones.
(For configuring the phone DNS name, refer to "Terminal host name" à page 64).
3. If the browser displays a certificate notification, accept it.
4. Click the tab "Administrator settings".
5. Enter the admin password. The default password is “123456”.
The main page of the “Administrator settings” page is displayed. The left column contains the
menu tree.

1. Use the keypad for entering parameter values. Use the navigation keys or navigation
block to navigate and execute administrative actions in the administration menu.
2. Select Save & exit and click OK.
If the user and administrator menus are needed for setup, the terminal number must be con-
figured first. The Terminal number is by default identical with the phone number. When the
phone is in delivery status, the terminal number input form is presented to the user / admin-
istrator right after booting, unless the Plug & Play capability of the DLS is used.
Procedure
1. Log on as administrator to the WBM by entering the access data for your phone.
2. In the Administrator menu (left column), select System > System Identity to open the "Sys-
tem Identity" dialog.
3. Enter the terminal number.
If no DHCP server is present, see "Manual configuration of the IP address " à page 59 for IP
address and subnet mask, and "Default router / gateway" à page 61 for the default route.
Startup 31
DHCP resilience
Prerequisites
It is possible to sustain Network connectivity in case of DHCP server failure. If “DHCP reuse” is
activated, the phone will keep its DHCP-based IP address even if the lease expires. To prevent
address conflicts, the phone will send ARP requests in 5 second intervals. Additionally, it will
send discovery messages periodically to obtain a new DHCP lease.
Procedure
Consistent time for peer entities is required to allow secure interfaces to operate correctly. To
provide the correct time, it is required to give the time zone offset, i.e. the shift in hours to be
added to the UTC time provided by the SNTP server.
l SNTP IP Address (option #42 "NTP Servers"): IP Address or hostname of the SNTP server
to be used by the phone.
l Time zone offset (option #2 "Time Offset"): Offset in seconds in relationship to the UTC
time provided by the SNTP server. For manual configuration of date and time see "Date
and time" à page 90.
destination, and then that of the router must be given. The option’s name and code are as fol-
lows:
l Static Routing Table (Option #33): For manual configuration of specific/static routing,
see "Specific IP routing" à page 61.
Also the DNS domain wherein the phone is located can be specified by DHCP. The option’s
name and code are as follows:
l Domain Name (Option #15): For manual configuration of the DNS domain name, see
"DNS domain name" à page 63.
If a DLS (Deployment Service) server is in use, its IP address must be provided. It is recom-
mended to configure the DLS server address by DCHP, as this method enables full Plug & Play:
having received the DLS address from DHCP, the phone will contact the DLS during start-up.
Provided that the DLS is configured appropriately, it will send all necessary configuration data to
the phone. Additionally, this method is relevant to security, as it ensures the authenticity of the
DLS server.
l For manual configuration of the DLS server address see "Configuration & update service"
à page 65.
l For the configuration of vendor-specific settings by DHCP, there are two alternative meth-
ods:
n Using a vendor class (see "Using vendor class" à page 36)
n Using the DHCP option #43 (see "Using option #43 "Vendor Specific"" à page 34)
l For DMS follow the instructions in "Setting the DMS address via DHCP" à page 42.
VLAN discovery
If the phone is located in a VLAN (Virtual LAN), a VLAN ID must be assigned, see "VLAN" à page
51.
If the VLAN is provided by DHCP, VLAN Discovery must be set to "DHCP". The corresponding
DHCP option is vendor-specific, thus a specific procedure is necessary.
l For automatic configuration via LLDP-MED see "Automatic VLAN discovery using LLDP-
MED" à page 52.
l For automatic configuration via DHCP see "Automatic VLAN discovery using DHCP" à
page 52.
l For manual configuration see "Manual configuration of a VLAN ID" à page 54.
For information on how to use a vendor class, refer to "Using vendor class" à page 36
Startup 33
This is the default setting. The VLAN ID is configured by the network switch using LLDP-MED
(Link Layer Discovery Protocol-Media Endpoint Discovery). If the switch provides an appropriate
TLV (Type-Length-Value) element containing the VLAN ID, this VLAN ID is used. If no appropriate
TLV is received, DHCP is used for VLAN discovery.

02 04 00 00 00 0A
It is recommended to configure the DLS / DMS server address by DCHP, as this method enables
full Plug & Play and ensures the authenticity of the DLS server.
l For manual configuration of the DLS server address see "Configuration & update service"
à page 65.
l For configuration of the DMS, see "Setting the DMS address via DHCP" à page 42.
l For the configuration of vendor-specific settings by DHCP, there are two alternative meth-
ods:
n the use of DHCP option #43
n the use of a vendor class
For information on how to use a vendor class, refer to "Using vendor class" à page 36

Cloud deployment
This section describes how a phone progresses through the cloud deployment process from
factory start-up until the cloud service provider considers it to be ready for use by its user.
The phone determines that a cloud deployment process is to be used based on the IP settings it
receives from the DHCP at the customer site. The “Unify Redirect” server redirects the phone to
a DLS-WPI based management system operated by the cloud service provider. This man-
agement system completes the configuration of the phone with all the information required for it
to be usable and may also customize the phone for the cloud service provider's "house" style.
If zero touch deployment is available the phone is automatically connected to the management
system. However, if zero touch deployment is not possible, then a cloud deployment pin must be
entered at the phone. This PIN is a code that determines which cloud service provider is respons-
44 Startup
ible for the phone. The code is provided as part of a pin supplied from the cloud organization to
the user.

Note In the default configuration, the LAN port supports automatic detection of cable
configuration (pass through or crossover cable) and will reconfigure itself as
needed to connect to the network. If the phone is set up to manually configure the
switch port settings, the cable detection mechanism is disabled. In this case care
must be taken to use the correct cable type.
The PC Ethernet port (default setting: disabled) is controlled by the PC port mode parameter.
Note Removing the power from the phone or a phone reset or reboot will result in the
temporary loss of the network connection to the PC port.
When PC port autoMDIX is enabled, the switch determines automatically whether a regular MDI
connector or a MDI-X (crossover) connector is needed, and configures the connector accord-
ingly.

VLAN
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a technology that allows Network administrators to par-
tition one physical Network into a set of virtual networks (or broadcast domains).
Partitioning a physical Network into separate VLANs allows a Network administrator to build a
more robust Network infrastructure. A good example is a separation of the data and voice net-
works into data and voice VLANs. This isolates the two networks and helps shield the endpoints
within the voice Network from disturbances in the data Network and vice versa.
Note The implementation of a voice Network based on VLANs requires the Network
infrastructure (the switch fabric) to support VLANs.
l In a layer-1 VLAN, the ports of a VLAN aware switch are assigned to a VLAN statically.
The switch only forwards traffic to a particular port if that port is a member of the VLAN
that the traffic is allocated to. Any device connected to a VLAN assigned port is auto-
matically a member of this VLAN, without being a VLAN aware device itself. If two or
more Network clients are connected to one port, they cannot be assigned to different
VLANs. When a Network client is moving from one switch to another, the switches’ ports
have to be updated accordingly by hand.
l With a layer-2 VLAN, the assignment of VLANs to Network clients is realized by the MAC
addresses of the Network devices. In some environments, the mapping of VLANs and
MAC addresses can be stored and managed by a central database. Alternatively, the
VLAN ID, which defines the VLAN whereof the device is a member, can be assigned dir-
ectly to the device, e. g. by DHCP. The task of determining the VLAN for which an Ethernet
packet is destined is carried out by VLAN tags within each Ethernet frame. As the MAC
addresses are (more or less) wired to the devices, mobility does not require any admin-
istrator action, as opposed to layer 1 VLAN.
The phone must be configured as a VLAN aware endpoint if the phone itself is a member of the
voice VLAN, and the PC connected to the phone’s PC port is a member of the data VLAN.

Note Layer-2 and -3 QoS for voice and signaling transmission can be set via LLDP-MED
(see "Automatic VLAN discovery using LLDP-MED" à page 52). The value cannot
be changed by another interface.
Layer 2 / 802.1p
QoS on layer-2 is using 3 Bits in the 802.1q/p 4-Byte VLAN tag which must be added in the Eth-
ernet header.
The CoS (class of service) value can be set from 0 to 7. 7 is describing the highest priority and is
reserved for Network management. 5 is used for voice (RTP-streams) by default. 3 is used for
signaling by default.

Layer-3 / Diffserv
Diffserv assigns a class of service to an IP packet by adding an entry in the IP header.
l Default: Any traffic that does not meet the requirements of any of the other defined
classes is placed in the default per-hop behaviour group. Typically, the forwarding has
best-effort forwarding characteristics. The DSCP (Diffserv Codepoint) value for Default is
"0 0 0 0 0 0".
l Expedited Forwarding (EF referred to RFC 3246): Expedited Forwarding is used for voice
(RTP streams) by default. It effectively creates a special low-latency path in the Network.
The DSCP (Diffserv Codepoint) value for EF is "1 0 1 1 1 0".
l Assured Forwarding (AF referred to RFC 2597): Assured forwarding is used for signaling
messages by default (AF31). It is less stringent than EF in a multiple dropping system.
The AF values are containing two digits X and Y (AFXY), where X is describing the priority
class and Y the drop level.
Four classes X are reserved for AFXY: AF1Y (low priority), AF2Y, AF3Y and AF4Y (high pri-
ority).
Three drop levels Y are reserved for AFXY: AFX1 (low drop probability), AFX2 and AFX3
(High drop probability). In the case of low drop level, packets are buffered over an exten-
ded period in the case of high drop level, packets are promptly rejected if they cannot be
forwarded.

Use DHCP
If this parameter is set to "Yes" (default), the phone will search for a DHCP server on start-up and
try to obtain IP data and further configuration parameters from that central server.
Note The data obtained via DHCP cannot be changed with DHCP enabled. Also, when
DHCP is enabled, the data read from the server overwrites current values on the
phone
If no DHCP server is available in the IP network, deactivate this option. In this case, the IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway / route must be defined manually.
Note The change will only have effect if you restart the phone. The phone is able to
maintain its IP connection even in case of DHCP server failure.

l Security (e.g. PSS generation and distribution within an SRTP security domain)
l Mobility for OpenScape SIP phones
l Software deployment
l Plug & play support
l Error and activity logging.
OpenScape Deployment Service (DLS) address, i.e. the IP address or host name of the DLS
server, and default mode port, i.e. the port on which the DLS server is listening, are required to
enable proper communication between phone and DLS.
The mode (labeled “Mode” in the local phone administration menu) determines the security level
for the communication between the phone and the DLS. Mutual authentication establishes a
higher security level of the connection by mutually exchanging credentials between the DLS and
the phone. After this, the communication is encrypted, and a different port is used, thus ensuring
that the phone is unambiguously connected to the correct DLS server.
It is possible to operate the DLS server behind a firewall or NAT (Network Address Translation),
which prevents the DLS from sending “Contact-Me” messages directly to the phone:
l The DLS server requests the phone to contact it by sending a HTTP “Contact-Me” request
or by leaving a request at the DCMP poll server for the phone to check periodically.
l The phone always establishes the connection to the DLS server.
Only outbound connections from the phone are allowed. To overcome this restriction, a DLS
“Contact-Me” proxy (DCMP) can be deployed. The phone periodically polls the DCMP, which is
placed outside of the phone network, for pending contact requests from the DLS. If there are con-
tact requests, the phone will send a request to the DLS in order to obtain the update, just as with
a regular DLS connection.
Note The URI of the DCMP, as well as the polling interval, are configured by the DLS. For
this purpose, it is necessary that the phone establishes a first contact to the DLS,
e. g. by phone restart or local configuration change.
A security PIN can be provided which is used for decrypting data provided by the DLS during
bootstrap. For further information, refer to the DLS documentation.
The DMS is a configuration file based deployment service which can be used instead of a DLS.
The DMS address can be provided manually or via DHCP for a full plug & play installation (see
"Setting the DMS address via DHCP" à page 42).
The DMS is compatible to the Broadsoft DMS and the RingCentral provisioning server. A detailed
description can be found here: https://wiki.unify.com/wiki/Device_Management_System

SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol is used by network management systems for mon-
itoring network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention. An SNMP
manager surveys and, if needed, configures several SNMP elements, e.g. VoIP phones.
Trap categories
There are currently 3 trap categories that can be sent by the phones:
l Standard SNMP traps: OpenScape Desk Phone CP phones support the following types of
standard SNMP traps, as defined in RFC 1157:
n coldStart: sent if the phone does a full restart.
n warmStart: sent if only the phone software is restarted.
n linkUp: sent when IP connectivity is restored.
l QoS Related traps: These traps are designed specifically for receipt and interpretation by
the QDC collection system. The traps are common to SIP phones, HFA phones, Gateways,
etc.
l Traps specific to OpenScape Desk Phone CP phones. Currently, the following traps are
defined:
n TraceEventFatal: sent if severe trace events occur; aimed at expert users.
n TraceEventError: sent if severe trace events occur; aimed at expert users.

Note Wi-Fi operation requires a CP10 to be plugged in to the USB port of CP710, CP410
and CP210, and the USB port must be enabled (see "Feature access" à page 1).
Wi-Fi parameters can be configured via WBM and local settings. You can activate or deactivate
Wi-Fi network access and set up new Wi-Fi networks that is added to Stored Wi-Fi networks, to
be used by the phone.
Administration 71
Wi-Fi connection with encryption type WPA2-PSK with pre-shared key using AES are char-
acterized as secure network. Only the EAP-TLS authentication protocol is supported.
Wi-Fi connections with no encryption type, WEP or WPA are characterized as non-secure networks.
The authorization by name and password is optional. User certificate and root certificate are
also optional. The administrator can upload both certificates to phone via DLS. If more than one
certificates are uploaded, the administrator can choose which certificate is used.
Certificates are uploaded to phone only via DLS. There is the option to upload common cer-
tificates to be used for all networks or SSID specific ones. Common sets of certificates will also
have common backup pair. For each SSID the administrator can use common or SSID specific
certificates.
Note If WPA-EAP Network is added common certificates are used as default, with no

If the phone is not successfully connected to this Wi-Fi within ten seconds, it will try to connect
to an unsecured Network for ten seconds. If this also fails, it will continue to try these two altern-
atives for ten seconds each until one succeeds. This process can also be interrupted by con-
figuring the phone either through the local phone menu or through the DLS using prestaging. As
soon as one of the Networks A-D has a SSID filled in, probing of AWS-INIT will stop.
Wi-Fi discovery requires that the DHCP server is configured to return a valid DLS IP address as
part of the DHCP response sent to the phone. The DLS IP address is sent using DHCP Option 43
(vendor specific data).
74 Administration
Once the phone has acquired a DLS address, it will open up a secure connection to DLS for down-
loading configuration parameters using the WPI protocol. Any certificates needed for Wi-Fi
authentication or SIP/TLS will also be downloaded as a part of this process. If a DLS address is
specified in the downloaded configuration, that DM is used subsequently. If not, the DLS dis-
covery procedure is used for each time the phone is started. The downloaded configuration
should also contain a new Network configuration, which will cause the phone to disconnect from
the AWS-INIT SSID.

l “Timeout Standby” sets the timeout between two "Retry count standby". The default is 30.
l “Timeout main” sets the timeout between two "Retry count main". The default is 30.
l “TC test retry” determines the count of how many successful TC tests the main system
needs to answer before the phone switches back with Auto switchback enabled. The
default is 3.
l “TC Test Expiry” determines how long the Previous connection needs to timeout to actu-
ally trigger any further SRSR activities.
How much time to wait from one unsuccessful retry count main sequence until the next
happens and in which interval the phone will send itself a TC test message (in idle mode).
The default is 30.
Lowering this value will significantly increase Network load but the phone might detect
failures faster but at an increased risk of false positive detections due to short time Net-
work outage.
After a change of the timing values the SRSR need to be deactivated and re-activated
again to take effect.

Emergency number
E.911 emergency number. This number establishes a connection to the PSAP (Publiy Safety
Answering Point). If a user dials this number, and an appropriate LIN (see "LIN" à page 84) is
configured, the user location is communicated to the PSAP. In the US, the number is 911.

LIN
The Location Identification Number (LIN) is a number code that provides detailed geographic
information about the phone, including the office room. On issuing an emergency call using the
E.911 emergency number (see "Emergency number" à page 83), this code is transferred to an
ALI (Automatic Location Information) system in the public Network. When the ALI has looked up
the location data in its database, it transmits the data along with the call to the PSAP. The emer-
gency operator is presented with the location data in readable form, so he can dispatch help as
appropriate.

The timeout for the local user and admin menu is configurable. When the time interval is over,
the menu is closed and the administrator / user is logged out.
The timeout may be helpful in case a user does a long press on a line key unintentionally, and
thereby invokes the key configuration menu. The menu will close after the timeout, and the key
will return to normal line key operation.

OpenScape Desk Phone CP phones support the following security option:
The security settings are be configured separately for the main gateway and for the fallback
gateway (standby) when using SRSR (Small Remote Site Redundancy).
The signalling transport main / standby parameter selects the protocol to use for signalling. TCP
and TLS are avaliable.
Certificate validation shows whether the phone certificate used for encrypted logon via TLS is
checked against the certificate on the server (and the level of checking). For configuration see
"Authentication policy" à page 135.

l With Factory reset claw, the “hooded claw” keypad mechanism to initiate a factory reset
without requiring an authenticated access can be enabled or disabled.
l The Serial port parameter controls access to the serial port.
n When set to “No password”, a terminal connected to the port can interact with the
phone operating system without restrictions.
n When “Passwd reqd” is selected, the serial port requires a password for access (root
user is not available). When Unavailable is chosen, the serial port is not accessible.

Security log
A circular security log is used to capture important security specific events. It can be exported
as CSV data to an external application for analysis.
l The Max. lines parameter defines the maximum number of entry lines that can be kept in
the security log before old entries are overwritten by new entries.
l Automatic archive to DLS controls whether the log is sent to the DLS. When activated, the
DLS is used to automatically archive the security log so that no log entries is lost.
l Archive when at: This value sets the trigger for log archiving. Automatic archiving of new
security log entries will occur when the percentage of unarchived entries in the log is as
specified or more. The value may be set to 0% by both the phone and the DLS and this
value will prevent the phone from archiving or telling the DLS that it needs archiving.

For correct display of the current time, the Timezone offset must be set appropriately. This is the
time offset from UTC (Universal Time Coordinated). If, for instance, the phone is located in
Munich, Germany, the offset is +1 (or simply 1); if it is located in Los Angeles, USA, the offset is -
8. For countries or areas with half-our time zones, like South Australia or India, non-integer val-
ues can be used, for example 10.5 for South Australia (UTC +10:30).
If the phone is located in a country with DST (Daylight Saving Time), you can choose whether
DST is toggled manually or automatically.
l For manual toggling, disable “Auto time change” and enable or disable “Daylight saving”;
the change is in effect immediately.
l For automatic toggling, enable “Auto time change”. Daylight saving is controlled by the
DST zone / time zone parameter. This parameter determines when DST starts or ends,
and must be set according to the location of the phone.
Administration 91
The difference (minutes) parameter defines how many minutes the clock is put forward for DST.
In Germany, for instance, the value is +60.
Note The Difference (minutes) must be specified both for manual and automatic DST
toggling.

Dialing
Example
The user enters the extension "1234", the local country code is "49", the local national code is
"89", and the local enterprise number is "722". The resulting number in canonical format is
"+49897221234".
Note To enable the number conversion, all parameters not marked as optional must be
provided, and the canonical lookup settings must be configured (see "Canonical
dialing look-up" à page 161).
Changes to these parameters can impact the phone's ability to match calls to con-
tacts.
For generating an appropriate dial string, a conversion from canonical format may be required.
The following parameters determine the local settings of the phone, like Local country code or
local national code, and define rules for converting from canonical format to the format required
by the PBX.
Administration 93
l Local country code: E.164 country code, e.g. "49" for Germany, "44" for United King-
dom
n Maximum length: 5
l National prefix digit: prefix for national connections, e.g. "0" in Germany and United
Kingdom
n Maximum length: 5
l Local national code: local area code or city code, e.g. "89" for Munich, "20" for Lon-
don
n Maximum length: 6
l Minimal local number length: minimum number of digits in a local PSTN number,
e.g. 3335333 = 7 digits
l Local enterprise node: number of the company/PBX wherein the phone is residing
n Maximum length: 10 (optional)
l PSTN access code: access code used for dialing out from a PBX to a PSTN
n Maximum length: 10 (optional)
l International access code: international prefix used to dial to another country, e.g.
"00" in Germany and United Kingdom.
n Maximum length: 5
l Operator codes: List of extension numbers for a connection to the operator. The
numbers entered here are not converted to canonical format
n Maximum length: 50 (optional)
l Emergency numbers: List of emergency numbers to be used for the phone. If there
are more than one numbers, they must be separated by commas. The numbers
entered here are not converted to canonical format.
n Maximum length: 50 (optional)
94 Administration
l Initial extension digits: List of initial digits of all possible extensions in the local
enterprise network. When a call number could not be matched as a public network
number, the phone checks if it is part of the local enterprise network. This is done
by comparing the first digit of the call number to the value(s) given here. If it
matches, the call number is recognized as a local enterprise number and pro-
cessed accordingly.
For instance, the extensions 3000-5999 are configured in the OpenScape Desk
Phone, each number will start with 3, 4, or 5. Therefore, the digits to be entered are
3, 4, 5.
l Expect dial number: Indicates when PSTN access code and national prefix digit is
retained and not converted into the international access code
2. Open Local functions > Locality > Canonical dial.
l Internal numbers
Note To enable the phone to discern internal numbers from external numbers, it
is crucial that a canonical lookup table is provided ("Canonical dialing look-
up" à page 161).
n "Local enterprise form": Default value. Any extension number is dialed in its simplest
form. For an extension on the local enterprise node, the node ID is omitted. If the
extension is on a different enterprise node, then the appropriate node ID is prefixed to
the extension number. Numbers that do not correspond to an enterprise node exten-
sion are treated as external numbers.
n "Always add node": Numbers that correspond to an enterprise node extension are
always prefixed with the node ID, even those on the local node. Numbers that do not
correspond to an enterprise node extension are treated as external numbers.
n "Use external numbers": All numbers are dialed using the external number form.
l External numbers
n "Local public form": Default value. All external numbers are dialed in their simplest
form. Thus a number in the local public network region does not have the region code
prefix. Numbers in the same country but not in the local region are dialed as national
numbers. Numbers for a different country are dialed using the international format.
n "National public form": All numbers within the current country are dialed as national
numbers, thus even local numbers will have a region code prefix (as dialing from a
mobile). Numbers for a different country are dialed using the international format.
n "International form": All numbers are dialed using their full international number
format.
l External access code
n "Not required": The access code to allow a public network number to be dialed is not
required.
Administration 95
n "For external numbers": Default value. All public network numbers is prefixed with the
access code that allows a number a call to be routed outside the enterprise network.
However, international numbers that use the + prefix will not be given access code.
l International gateway code:
n "Use national code": Default value. All international formatted numbers is dialed expli-
citly by using the access code for the international gateway to replace the "+" prefix.
n "Leave as +": All international formatted numbers is prefixed with "+".

In the local phone book, and, mostly, in LDAP directories, numbers are stored in canonical
format. In order to generate an appropriate dial string according to the settings in Internal num-
bers and External numbers, internal numbers must be discerned from external numbers(see
"Canonical dialing configuration" à page 92). The canonical look-up table provides patterns
which allow for operation.
Furthermore, these patterns enable the phone to identify callers from different local or inter-
national telephone networks by looking up the caller’s number in the phone book. As incoming
numbers are not always in canonical format, their composition must be analyzed first. For this
96 Administration
purpose, an incoming number is matched against one or more patterns consisting of country
codes, national codes, and enterprise nodes. Then, the result of this operation is matched
against the entries in the local phone book.
Note To make sure that canonical dial look-up works properly, at least the following
parameters of the phone must be provided:
You can view and edit the first five entries via the WBM. The Local code 1…5 parameters define
up to 5 different local enterprise nodes, whilst International code 1…5 define up to 5 international
codes, that is, fully qualified E.164 call numbers for use in a PSTN. The whole list of entries are
not visible on the phone but can be seen and handled using the DLS.
l Local code 1…5: Local enterprise code for the node / PBX the phone is connected to.
n Example: "7007" for Unify office in Munich.
l International code 1…5: Sequence of "+", local country code, local area code, and local
enterprise node corresponding to one or more phone book entries.
n Example: "+49897007" for Unify office in Munich.

Distinctive ringing
The HFA server may provide information indicating a specific type of call within an incoming
call. The phone can use this information to choose a ring tone according to the call type. A list of
different ring types is maintained in the phone.
Note Once distinctive ringing is configured locally a system control of the ringer para-
meters is not possible. If system control of the ringer is desired the ringer mode
must be set to "OpenScape".
Even though the ringers are configured locally the behaviour of the ringers should be the same
as system controlled ones. In particular, cyclic ringers shall be played endlessly until the switch
commands to stop playing (and therefore repeated if necessary), whereas single shot ringers
should play for just a short period - the intention being to alert the phone user to a new state of
the phone but not to hinder the ongoing conversation. This short period is defined to be 3 sec
onds. It should be possible to interrupt the playing of the cyclic ringer to play the single shot
ringer and after timeout the cyclic ringing should resume. This behaviour is independent of
whether low or high quality ringer files are played or whether the ringer is pattern generated.
The value in Octet 12 in the CorNet AU_RINGER_START message is used as an index into ringers
configured on the phone. The indexed entry indicates the ringing to be used for the call.
98 Administration
In any cases if a distinctive ring is requested then the associated ring type is used instead of the
default ringer. The ringing is played immediately when requested. If distinctive ringing is not
requested or cannot be matched to a ringer then, the tone specified in the CorNet ringer mes-
sage by the OpenScape system will be used to construct the ring tone.
There is no configuration necessary to set the names. CorNet specifies the ringer types and enu-
merations. Please be aware that the naming refers to the call type as sent in the CorNet mes-
sage, not to be confused with a feature or a call scenario. The mapping of call type to feture or
call scenario occurs in the system and this may be configurable. It is up to the administrator to
configure such that the user hears the required ring tones for the various features or call scen-
arios. Also note that only the set of call types actually implemented by the system should be
offered for configuration of the ringers.
Currently OpenScape Business only implements a subset of those in CorNet. It is assumed that
this set is relatively stable.
The configuration of distinctive ringers overlaps considerably with the general ringer con-
figuration feature and the ability to preview (manually and automatically) what a ringer sounds
like.
2. Select the ringer sound, pattern melody and sequence for each name.
l Ringer sound: "Pattern" or the name of the selected ring tone file. Sets the dis-
tinctive ringer to use the currently set pattern (melody and sequence). This is the
pattern that will be used if the configured ring tone file cannot be played for any
reason.
n Value range: "Pattern", "<audio file>"
n Default: "Pattern".
l Pattern melody: Selects the melody pattern that will be used if Ringer sound is set
to "Pattern".
n Value range: "1"... "8"
n Default: "2".
Administration 99
l Pattern sequence: Determines the length for the melody pattern, and the interval
between the repetitions of the pattern.
n Value range: "1": 1 sec ON, 4 sec OFF "2": 1 sec ON, 2 sec OFF "3": 0.7 sec ON,
0.7 sec OFF, 0.7 sec ON, 3 sec OFF
n Default: "2".

Saving a file with an invalid file name on the phone could lead to operational or security issues.
To protect against this the phone will ensure that the file name for the file to be saved does not
contain non-allowed characters. The solution is to replace invalid characters in the names of
files to be downloaded onto the phone with a dummy character.

l 0 to 9
l a to z
l A to Z
l "-" (hyphen)
l "_" (underscore)
A space character is explicitly not allowed in a Linux file name. Any non-allowed characters are

acter.
When a file is downloaded to the phone, sanity checks are carried out to ensure there are no
operational or security impacts on the phone.
WBM checks the file name and file extension entered in any FTP / HTTPS file transfer panel only
contains valid characters and that the file extensions (file type) are valid.
l If a file path character or file extension is detected in the file name then an error is dis-
played and the file transfer is not allowed.

Phone application
The firmware for the phone can be updated by downloading a new software file to the phone.
If an incorrect software image is being attempted to be loaded onto the phone, the phone will
reject the request and return to normal operation without reboot. As part of this security mech-
anism, new software binds are identified by a "Supported Hardware Level" information built into
the header.
Prerequisite
The phone knows its own hardware level (from the part number and / or by a dynamical check of
its hardware level).
When a new software bind is downloaded to the phone, the following verification is performed:
l If new software bind has hardware level header included (in the bind header): Hardware
level of new bind is compared with phone’s hardware level.
n If compatible (or if Override is set): Proceed with update
n If NOT compatible: Abandon update and return to original application
l If new software bind does NOT have hardware level header included (in the bind header):
Software version of new bind is compared with minimum known supported SW level.
n If compatible (or if Override is set): Proceed with update
n If NOT compatible: Abandon update and return to original application
Note Do not disconnect the phone from the LAN or power unit during software update.
An active update process is indicated by blinking LEDs and / or in the display.
Note The "Cancel" function will not work once the process is in burn state.
l Use defaults: Specifies whether the default FTP / HTTPS access settings shall be used.
Value range: "Yes", "No". If enabled, an abbreviated set of options is provided.
l File name: Specifies the file name of the phone software.
l After submit: Specifies actions after submit button is pressed. Value range: "do nothing",
"start download". Default: "do nothing".
The option "do nothing" allows changes to the set of options and submit the changes to
update the page (e.g. select between FTP and HTTPS).

If applicable, picture clips should be deployed using the Deployment Service (DLS). Alternatively,
the download can be triggered from the web interface or from the local phone menu (see "FTP /

The LDAP directory must contain avatar pictures in JPEG / JIFF format (plain or base 64
encoded) or a URL that points to a web-server that can provide a picture for the contact.
Example: Plain JPEG picture attributes are "jpegPhoto" or "thumbnailPhoto". URL attribute can be
"photoURL".
Maximum picture size is 100 kB. The phone shows an avatar in two sizes:
110 Administration
If another size provided, the phone will automatically resize the picture to needed dimensions.
Until a JPEG image is available a default avatar is used for the LDAP contact.
The LDAP must be configured and a suitable LDAP template must be available on the phone.
The LDAP template must support a 13th attribute to allow access to a contact's picture (see
"Create an LDAP template" à page 164).
If the configured address of the web server (Avatar server) is not empty, the attribute content is
treated as the variable part of the URL to access the picture from a WEB server — see Con-
figuration via DLS and WBM in this chapter. The phone then constructs a full path to the picture
file on the web server, i.e. adds the attribute value to the Avatar server field value. The photoURL
atribute may be a direct URL which ends up with "filename.jpg". The address can include a HTTP
address or a HTTPS address. HTTPS is assumed by default.
If configured address of the web server (Avatar server) is empty, the attribute value is treated as
a LDAP DN and the LDAP server is asked for the content of the attribute. The content must be
plain JPEG or base64 encoded.

If the picture cannot be displayed (wrong format, download error, etc.) then a default avatar con-
tinues to be shown.

l The protocol parameter defines whether HTTP or HTTPS is used for sending the URL to
the server.
l The web server address is the IP address or DNS name of the remote server to which the
URL is sent.
l The port is the target port at the server to which the URL is sent.
l The path is the server-side path to the desired function, i.e. the part of the URL that fol-
lows the IP address or DNS name (example: web page/checkin.html).
Administration 123
l In the parameters field, one or more key/value pairs in the format "key=value" can be
added to the request, separated by an ampersand (&).
Example
phonenumber=3338&action=huntGroupLogon
The question mark is automatically added between the path and the parameters. If a question
mark has been entered at the start of the parameters, it is stripped off automatically.
The method parameter determines the HTTP method used, which can be either GET or POST. If
GET is selected, the additional parameters and the user id and password (web server user ID and
web server password) are part of the URL. If POST is selected, these data form the body of the
message.
If the web server requires user authentication, the parameters ”Web server user ID” and “Web
server password” can be used. If not null, the values are appended between the serverside path
(Path) and the additional parameters (Parameter).
LDAP
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) enables access to a directory server via an
LDAP client. Various personal information is stored there, e.g. the name, organization, and con-
tact data of persons working in an organization. When the LDAP client has found a person’s
data, e. g. by looking up the surname, the user can call this person directly using the displayed
number.
On an OpenScape Desk Phone CP410 or CP710, the use of the LDAP directory is integrated into
the conversations concept.
Example
If a call cannot be mapped to a contact on the phone, the phone can be configured to look up the
call contact details from the LDAP directory. In addition, a search for a contact will cover both
contacts on the phone and the LDAP directory. The LDAP template maps the LDAP fields to
those of the contacts on the phone.
On an OpenScape Desk Phone CP110 or CP210, the LDAP directory can be accessed using the
entry Directories > Corporate directory.
For connecting the phone LDAP client to an LDAP server, the required access data must be con-
figured. The parameter “Server” address specifies the IP address of the LDAP server. The para-
meter “Transport” defines whether the phone must continue to use an unencrypted TCP
connection to the LDAP server, or to use an encrypted TLS connection to a separate LDAPS port
on the LDAP server, or to use an encrypted TLS connection to a separate LDAPS port on the
LDAP server. Depending on the setting of “Transport” the secure port (for TLS) or the server port
(for TCP) are defined. If the authentication is not set to "Anonymous", the user must authenticate
himself with the server by providing a user name and a corresponding password. The user name
and password are defined by the administrator. The user name is the string in the LDAP bind
request, e. g. "C=GB,O=SIEMENS COMM,OU=COM,L=NTH,CN=BAYLIS MICHAEL". The internal
structure will depend on the specific corporate directory.
For a guide on setting up LDAP on an OpenScape Desk Phone, refer to "How to set up the “Cor-
porate directory” (LDAP)" à page 164.
126 Administration
On an OpenScape Desk Phone CP110 or CP210, an explicit search field for LDAP requests is sup-
ported. The search string is submitted to the LDAP server as soon as OK is pressed or when the
search trigger timeout expires.
On an OpenScape Desk Phone CP410 or CP710, the search of the LDAP directory is integrated in
the conversations search function. The LDAP template allows for a 'nickname' field which allows
a search of any text in the field.
the file name of the picture contained in the URL specified in "Avatar Server".
Example: "Avatar Server" = "https://mypicture.server/picturepath" ("Avatar" = pic-
turename).
When the phone does an LDAP lookup for user A, the field “Picturename” returns pic-
turename = UserA.jpg. The phone will look for the picture at: https://myp-
icture.server/picturepath/UserA.jpg.

To display centrally stored contact data the OpenScape Desk Phone CP410 / CP710 will request
and retrieve the data from a server.
The OpenScape Desk Phone CP410 / CP710 requests the look-up for all numbers for which the
local phone book does not have a picture. In case the phone book contains names for the num-
ber but without picture the name and picture from the directory server are displayed. If there is
no entry for the number in the directory server the name from the local phone book is displayed,
so the directory server data overrides the local phone book.
Currently two different mechanisms for storage of the picture shall be supported, both requiring
a directory server for central storage:
Administration 129
l Direct retrieval of pictures stored within the LDAP directory (preferred mechanism)
l Indirect (two step) retrieval in case the directory server contains a reference (URL) to the
picture instead. In this case the picture is retrieved from another server via HTTP using
the URL.
Note The phones will only accept pictures encoded in jpg and max. 50 kB size.

The Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) is used to check if a certificate to be used has
been revoked. This protocol is used to query an Online Certificate Status Responder (OCSR) at
the point when the certificate is being validated. The address of an OCSR can be configured on
the phone and can also be obtained from the certificate to be checked (which will have the pri-
ority).
l When OCSP check is activated, the configured OCSR is requested to check if the cer-
tificate has been revoked.
l OCSR 1 address specifies the IP address (or FQDN) of a primary OCSP responder.
l OCSR 2 address specifies the IP address (or FQDN) of a secondary OCSP responder.

There are 2 types of HPT sessions, control session and observation session.
l A control session allows for activating phone functions remotely. When a control session
is established, the following changes will occur:
n The display shows a message indicating that remote service is active.
n Handset, microphone, speaker, headset, and microphone are disabled.
l An observation session allows for supervising events on the phone, like, for instance,
pressing a key, incoming calls or navigating in the menus. Before an observation session
is started, the user is prompted for allowing the observation. During an observation ses-
sion, the phone operates normally, including loudspeaker, microphone and ringer. Thus,
the local user can demonstrate an error towards the service staff that is connected via
HPT.
The session data is written to a log file on the phone. It can be downloaded from the Diagnostics
> Fault trace configuration menu (see "Fault trace configuration" à page 142).

Note The absolute maximum file size is 6,290,000 bytes. However, on OpenScape Desk
Phone CP phones, a maximum size not greater than 1,000,000 bytes is recom-
mended due to the amount of available memory.
l The “File size (bytes)” parameter sets the maximum file size. When it is reached, the data
is saved as old file, and a new file is generated. From then on, the trace data is written to
Administration 143
the new file. When the maximum file size is reached again, the data is saved as old file
once more, thereby overwriting the previous old file. The default value is “1048576”.
l The “Trace timeout (minutes)” determines when to stop tracing. When the timeout is
reached, the trace settings for all components are set to OFF, but ERROR and STATUS
messages are still written to the trace file infinitely. When the trace file has reached its
maximum size, the data is saved, and a new file is created (for more information, see File
size (bytes) above). If the value is 0, the trace data is written without time limit.
l If “Automatic clear before start” is enabled, the existing trace file is deleted on clicking
Submit, and a new, empty trace file is generated. By default, it is unchecked.

l Periods of consecutive lost packets: Number of observation intervals in which the
threshold for consecutive lost packets was exceeded.
l Consecutive good packets (CGP): List of sequences consecutive packets that were all
processed, grouped according to the amount of packets per sequence. The first number
in the list counts single good packets, the second number counts sequences of two good
packets, and so on. The last number counts sequences of more than 10 good packets. All
values are reset to 0 after an interval without packet loss.
l Periods of consecutive good packets: Number of intervals in which the count of lost pack-
ets went below the threshold.
l Count of jitter buffer overruns: Number of packets rejected because the jitter buffer was
full.
l Count of jitter buffer under-runs: Increased by one whenever the decoder requests new

HiPath gatekeeper", "Ping standby HiPath gatekeeper"
l Ping tests: Pings the entered host IP address or hostname.
l Pre Defined Trace tests: Pings a predefined Traceroute IP address. Value range:
"Traceroute DLS", "Traceroute HiPath gatekeeper", "Traceroute standby HiPath gate-
keeper"
l Traceroute: Pings the entered host IP address or hostname.
The amount of free memory is checked on a regular basis in order to prevent problems caused
by low memory. This check determines whether a recovery is necessary.
Administration 157
l When “Disable reboot” is checked, no reboot will take place when a memory problem has
been found. However, recovery requires a reboot. The recovery process is triggered when
the available main memory (RAM) falls below a given threshold value. As memory con-
sumption is assumed to be higher during working hours, two thresholds are configurable.
l The High Threshold (MBs) parameter defines the threshold for off-time:
n For OpenScape Desk Phone CP110/210, the default value is 10 MB.
n For OpenScape Desk Phone CP410/710, it is 30 MB.
l With Low Threshold (MBs), the threshold for off-time is defined:
n For OpenScape Desk Phone CP110/210, the default value is 8 MB.
n For OpenScape Desk Phone CP410/710, it is 20 MB.
l The beginning and end of the working hours are defined in 24 hours format with Working
Hour Start (Default: 5) and Working Hour End (Default: 24).
When memory shortage has occurred, information about the incident is written to a log file
which can be viewed via the “Download memory info” file link.
If there has been a previous case of memory shortage, the corresponding log file can be viewed
via “Download memory info” file.
158 Administration
Core dump
l If “Enable core dump” is enabled, a core dump is initiated in case of a severe error. The
core dump is saved to a file. By default, this function is active.
l If “Delete core dump” is activated, the current core dump file is deleted when clicking Sub-
mit.
n By default, this feature is not enabled.
l If one or more core dump file exist, hyperlinks for downloading are created automatically.
l To enable remote tracing, “Remote trace status” must be enabled. Furthermore, the IP
address of the server receiving the syslog messages must be entered as remote server,
and the corresponding server port must be given in remote port.
l With version V2, the user notification parameter controls whether the user is notified
about the remote tracing or not. If “Use notification” is enabled, a blinking icon will inform
the user when remote tracing is active, i.e. when “Remote trace status” is enabled.

"Nickname" does not correspond to a contact field but instead relates to a special
attribute that may be defined for LDAP entries. The attribute represents a free
format field which may be searched for sub-strings. It is only used for search
actions by the phone, not number lookups. If the Nickname attribute is defined in
the LDAP template, a phone search action will look for the search string as a sub-
string in this field and will ignore the other field attributes.

LLDP-Med example
The following example illustrates the mode of operation of LLDP-MED. To evoke a reaction from
LLDP-MED, the LAN switch has been set to auto-negotiation, whereas the phone’s LAN port is
set to 100 Mbit/s, hence a fixed value (see "LAN port settings" à page 49). This configuration
error is discovered by LLDP-MED. The following screenshots from the phone local menu show
the error messages.
The WBM provides a list of the LLDP-MED TLV messages rather than the more limited LLDP-
MED operation menu in local settings. The TLV list is comprehensive whereas the local settings
indicate problems with the TLVs.

When configuring a SNTP server via DHCP, it is crucial to consider the IP address or hostname of the server and the required time zone offset. The SNTP IP address must be specified using DHCP option #42, while the time zone offset is configured with option #2. Correct configuration ensures synchronized time across network devices .
Canonical dialing settings play a critical role in supporting international communication by ensuring numbers are parsed and formatted according to international standards. This involves adding necessary country and area codes, which standardizes call setup and enhances interoperability across diverse telecommunication networks .
When DHCP lease reuse is activated, the phone maintains its DHCP-assigned IP address despite the lease expiration, which enhances network stability during DHCP server outages. This is achieved by the phone periodically sending ARP requests to prevent address conflicts and discovery messages to obtain a new lease .
Storing contacts and pictures using LDAP for phones involves configuring the LDAP server to interface with the phone for accessing and updating contact details securely and efficiently. LDAP allows phones to access a directory server for retrieving contact information and pictures either directly from LDAP attributes like "jpegPhoto" or indirectly via URLs stored in "photoURL" attributes . This setup supports retrieval and display of contact avatars in specified formats (32x32 px and 64x64 px) and can update contact information dynamically based on LDAP entries . Security is maintained through options like encrypted TLS connections and authentication requirements, while the configuration of LDAP templates is necessary to map server attributes to phone contact fields for seamless integration .
The LLDP-MED protocol offers several advantages for VLAN discovery over DHCP-based methods. Firstly, LLDP-MED provides automatic VLAN configuration through the network switch, using LLDP-MED TLV elements to convey VLAN IDs directly to devices, reducing manual provisioning and configuration errors . Unlike DHCP, which requires the configuration of vendor-specific options, LLDP-MED directly communicates VLAN information as part of its network advertisement capabilities, making the process simpler and less error-prone . It also allows for the consistent exchange of other network policies and Quality of Service (QoS) parameters, supporting more integrated network management . Additionally, LLDP-MED can operate over existing network infrastructure without the need for DHCP server configurations, providing a more flexible and dynamic approach to VLAN management .
Configuring vendor-specific settings via DHCP is advantageous because it allows for full Plug & Play functionality while ensuring security and authenticity of network components like DLS servers. DHCP automatically provides essential configuration data to devices during start-up, reducing manual configuration errors and ensuring network settings such as IP addresses, VLAN IDs, and necessary security protocols are consistently applied across devices . Furthermore, using DHCP for network setup can simplify the management of changes across multiple devices by centralizing configuration tasks on a server, rather than requiring individual device configuration .
Converting phone numbers to a fully qualified E.164 format in LDAP directories ensures that the numbers are globally unique and consistent, providing a standardized dialing format that can be used across different geographic locations and networks. This standardization simplifies call routing and recognition of numbers, especially in systems that integrate with various telecommunications networks. Additionally, using E.164 format allows the LDAP directory to store numbers in a consistent format that matches international dialing requirements, facilitating easier integration and interoperability with external systems and ensuring accurate lookup and retrieval of contact information .
The canonical dial look-up feature ensures that incoming call numbers are accurately matched to directory entries by converting them into a fully qualified format. This process includes adding country and area codes to the subscriber number, making sure that each number is unique and can be reliably looked up in the directory server . This standardized format facilitates the recognition of incoming calls and the correct display of contact details sourced from centralized directories like LDAP, allowing proper handling of incoming calls without confusion caused by different number formats . Additionally, this capability is crucial for phones to consistently identify callers from various local and international networks, by accurately analyzing and matching incoming numbers against predefined patterns ."}
The Deployment Service (DLS) server enhances network security for phones by enforcing that connections from the phone to the DLS server are outbound only, thereby preventing unauthorized inbound connections from reaching the phone. Furthermore, the DLS server can configure a "Contact-Me" proxy (DCMP) that allows the phone to periodically check for updates without direct inbound requests from the server, adding another layer of security by leveraging controlled outbound communication . Additionally, mutual authentication can be configured which ensures that both the DLS server and the phone exchange credentials to verify each other's identity before securing communication, thereby preventing man-in-the-middle attacks . A security PIN can also be utilized for decrypting data during initial communication set-up, ensuring secure data exchange during the bootstrap phase .
If a phone is configured to an incorrect VLAN, it may not be able to connect to the network . Additionally, if the phone is set in static IP mode within an incorrect VLAN, it may prevent server connections . This misconfiguration can lead to improper network routing and a failure in establishing essential communications, impacting the phone's operational capabilities .
