AastraLink Pro 160 Administrator Guide

The administrator must do the following three steps before deploying Aastra IP 
phones to a remote site:

Enable remote access support on the AastraLink Pro 160, and configure 
remote access parameters. 

Depending on your network configuration and requirements, you may also 
choose to configure firewall parameters, specify port mappings, etc. prior to 
deploying remote user IP phones. See 

 on 

 of this guide for instructions.

Note: Perform either of the following step 2 or step 3, but not both.

(Optional) Register the IP phones with the AastraLink Pro 160 at the central 
site. 

Registering the Aastra IP phones with the AastraLink Pro 160 before 
deployment ensures that the phones reflect the central site configuration and 
security parameters. See 

 on 

(Optional) Supply remote users with the following networking information, 
which allows them to connect to the IP phone network at the central site:

— IP Address of the AastraLink Pro 160.

— HTTP port the IP phone will use to communicate with the AastraLink Pro 

160 web server.

As a security restriction to prevent unauthorized use of AastraLink Pro 
service, remote office IP phones cannot be registered using the external public 
IP address and port. The phone's MAC address must be added to the 
AastraLink Pro database either by pre-registering it on the local network first, 
or by using the <Add Phone> option at the location Users->User List in the 
administrator menus.
