IP Phone Administrator Guide

When the IP phone is initialized for the first time, DHCP is enabled by default 
allowing the phone to automatically get its IP address from the network. Upon 
bootup, the phone also automatically updates it firmware and configuration files 
from the configuration server using the default TFTP protocol. 

The IP Phones support TFTP, FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS as download protocols. 
You can change the protocol server that you use to download firmware and 
configuration files, and can perform the download manually or configure the 
phone to download them automatically. 

The firmware consists of a single file called:

<phone model>.st (for example, 55i.st (for 6755i)) - This file contains 
information about the specific IP Phone model and contains the language 
packs to load to the phone.

The configuration files consist of two files called:

•

aastra.cfg - This file contains configuration information about the IP Phone.

<MAC>.cfg (for example, 00085D1610DE.cfg) - This file contains 
configuration information about the IP Phone.

Automatic download is dependant on your configuration server 

setup. For more information about manual and automatic download of 
firmware, see 

information on changing the download protocol on your phone, see
