Welcome
The Aastra 6863i delivers exceptional value in an enterprise grade SIP desktop phone. With a sleek and thin 
modern design, the 6863i rivals other higher priced SIP products in its class on its features, flexibility and value. 
This 2-line SIP phone with its 2.75" 128x48 pixel monochrome LCD display, programmable hard keys, and smaller 
desktop footprint is an ideal option for professional workers in business environments that have light telephone 
use requirements. Featuring a true HD handset and speakerphone, the 6863i offers remarkable wideband audio 
quality. Dual 100 BaseT Ethernet ports with a hardware-based Ethernet switch, advanced XML capabilities for 
configuration and custom applications, and a PoE class 1 rating are just some of the many features this very 
affordable SIP phone has to offer.
