Remote Phone Configuration for SIP Firmware
The following steps outline how to manually configure the Configuration Server connection details for each teleworker 69xx phone.
Each phone must be updated to SIP firmware before this configuration can be completed. It is recommended to upgrade from MiNET to SIP firmware on the local network and then manually configure the phone before sending it to the teleworker location.
- Add the configuration server details on the phone manually, press the settings button (
) on the handset, then press the 'Advanced' key along the bottom of the screen.
- At this point you will be prompted to enter the administrator password. The default SIP password is '22222'.
- Once the password has been accepted, use the navigation keys (D-pad) or touch screen on 6940 & 6970 to navigate to the 'Configuration Server' section.
- Populate the following entries:
Download Protocol: HTTPS
HTTPS Server: [Enter the external IP Address or external DNS name of the MCS server configured in Stage 1]
HTTPS Port: 8202
Cert Validation: false
- Press 'Save' and then reboot the handset.
After a reboot, the phone will connect to the MCS server and download firmware other configuration information.
It is possible that there will be more than one reboot at this stage as the firmware update is completed
The handset should now be registered with the MCS server.
The Phone will have Line 1 and Line 2 showing as the Top Sofkeys.
Unlike for local deployment as 'Setup' button will not be available and the SIP extension needs to be configured in the MCS server.
The 'Phones' page within the configuration section of the MCS website can be used to view whether the handset has been identified. The MCS uses the handsets MAC Address to uniquely identify it.
