Methods of Installation
 
The Þrmware set up and installation 
for the 480i can be done through the 
Options List available directly from 
the phone or through the 
 
Aastra 480i 
Web Client
 
 web interface. When the 
480i is initialized for the Þrst time, 
DHCP is enabled by default. The 
DHCP server passes information to 
the 480i so that it can conÞgure itself 
for subsequent IP PBX addresses 
and normal runtime operations.
The following considerations must 
be made before connecting the 480i 
phone to the network:
• If you are planning on using 
Dynamic IP addresses, make sure 
a DHCP server is running on 
your network. 
• If you are not planning on using 
Dynamic IP addresses, refer to 
the section “
 
ConÞguring the 480i 
IP Phone
 
” on how to set up an 
IP address manually.
• Make sure a TFTP server is set up 
on your network and can accept 
connections anonymously.
• Every PBX system that interacts 
with the 480i phones requires 
adherence to the SIP Standard.
To Þnd out how to hook up the 
cabling to your 480i phone, please 
refer to the 
 
Aastra 480i Installation 
Guide

480i IP Phone Set up
 
When the 480i is Þrst plugged in 
or reset it will automatically 
download any Þrmware updates 
for the phone. The binary and 
conÞguration Þles that are required 
for the 480i are: “Þrmware.st”, 
“aastra.cfg” and “<mac>.cfg”. The 
settings of the 480i phone, as well 
as the softkeys and the line keys, 
can be conÞgured through the 
conÞguration Þles. Please refer to 
Appendix A for details on the 
parameters that can be set for the 
480i phone. Please refer to Appendix 
B for sample conÞguration Þles 
with all the basic parameters that 
need to be set in order to register the 
IP phone at the PBX. 
The following steps illustrate a 
typical 480i phone setup:
 
1. 
 
If DHCP is disabled, manually 
enter the TFTP server’s IP 
address. For details on how to 
set the TFTP server setting for the 
480i, please refer to the section 
 
ConÞguring the 480i IP Phone
 
”.
 
2. 
 
Copy the Þrmware Þle 
“Þrmware.st” to the root directory 
of the TFTP server. This Þrmware 
Þle is downloaded only when it 
is different than the one the phone 
is currently using.
 
3. 
 
Copy the Aastra conÞguration 
Þle “aastra.cfg” and “<mac>.cfg” 
Þle to the root directory of the 
TFTP server.
 
Note: 
 
<mac> represents the actual MAC 
address of your phone which must 
be input ie 00085D030996.cfg
