Before you Upgrade  
Before you Upgrade  
Please Read Before Upgrading Your Phone  
If you have a firmware version on your phone prior to 2.3, please read the following IMPORTANT  
information before upgrading the phones:  
LLDP is enabled by default.  
If LLDP is enabled on your network, the phones may come up with different network settings.  
For more information about LLDP, see the Aastra SIP IP Phone Administrator Guide.  
Support for DHCP Options 159 and 160.  
If the DHCP server supplies Options 159 and 160, the phones will attempt to contact the  
configuration server given in these options. For more information about Options 159 and 160,  
see the Aastra SIP IP Phone Administrator Guide.  
HTTPS validation.  
If you are using HTTPS and the certificates are not valid or are not signed by Verisign,  
Thawte, or GeoTrust, the phones fail to download configuration files. For more information  
about HTTPS validation, see the Aastra SIP IP Phone Administrator Guide.  
Watchdog task feature.  
If the phone detects a failure (for example, a crash), the phone automatically reboots. For more  
information about the Watchdog feature, see the Aastra SIP IP Phone Administrator Guide.  
Note: If you factory default a phone with Release 2.3 and above  
software, when the phone reboots, it attempts to connect to  
rcs.aastra.com. There is no personal information transmitted from the  
phone and the phone continues to boot up as normal.

whether it affects the Administrator, the User, or both.  
Feature  
Description  
SIP Feature  
Release 2.4.1 provides a new feature that allows an  
Administrator to shorten the length of a SIP packet by  
using the compact form. This feature is in accordance  
with Compact SIP Headers defined in RFC 3261.

types. Now using the Aastra Web UI or the configuration  
files, an Administrator can select from up to 14 codecs  
for the phones AND customize a codec preference list of  
up to 10 codecs. Silence suppression can still be enable  
or disabled as required.  
(For Administrators)  
SIP Feature  
Configurable Support for Compact SIP Header  
Release 2.4.1 provides a new feature that allows an Administrator to shorten the length of a SIP  
packet by using the compact form. This feature is in accordance with Compact SIP Headers  
defined in RFC 3261.  
For example, the following SIP header is the long format:  
Via: SIP/2.0/UDP  
10.50.91.2:5060;branch=z9hG4bK571ebe0c;rport=5060;received=10.50.91.2  
From: "Unknown" <sip:[email protected]>;tag=as19d00fc8  
To: <sip:[email protected]:5060;transport=udp>;tag=916699998  
Call-Id: [email protected]  
CSeq: 102 OPTIONS

SIP IP Phone Models 9143i, 9480i, 9480i CT, and 675xi Series Phones Release Note 2.4.1  
New Features in Release 2.4.1  
The following SIP header is equivalent to the above SIP header, but uses the short (compact)  
format instead:  
v: SIP/2.0/UDP  
10.50.91.2:5060;branch=z9hG4bK571ebe0c;rport=5060;received=10.50.91.2  
f: "Unknown" <sip:[email protected]>;tag=as19d00fc8  
t: <sip:[email protected]:5060;transport=udp>;tag=916699998  
CSeq: 102 OPTIONS  
By default, the IP Phones use the long format. However, an Administrator can provision the short  
(compact) format using the configuration files. The Aastra Web UI does not support this  
configuration feature.

New Features in Release 2.4.1  
Configuring Customized Codecs Using the Aastra Web UI  
Use the following procedure to customize codecs for the phones using the Aastra Web UI.  
Aastra Web UI  
1
Click on Advanced Settings->Global SIP->Codec Preference List.  
2
In the Codec Preference List 1, select a codec 9 (with its payload type) you want the phones to use. Valid values are:  
All  
Basic (G.711 u-law, G.711 a-law, G.729)  
G722  
G711u/8K  
G711u/16K

BV16 (8K)  
BV32 (16K)  
L16 (8K)  
L16 (16K)  
Notes:  
1. Setting the Codec Preference List 1 to “All” ignores the packetization interval (ptime). The packetization  
interval setting defaults to 30, which is the default for all codecs.  
2. Setting the Codec Preference List 1 to “All” automatically sets all other codec preference fields 2 through 10 to  
None”.  
3. Setting the Codec Preference List 1 to “Basic” and all other codec preferences in 2 through 10 to “None”,  
forces the phone to use only the basic codecs as in previous releases (G.711 u-law, G.711 a-law, and G.729). If you  
select an additional codec to use in the codec preferences 2 through 10 fields, those codecs are added to the list of  
Basic codecs for the phone to use.
