Using Administrator

Activating phone lines on the Web UI

If you are using more than 2 phone lines on model 6753i RP or more than 3 lines on 
model 6757i CT RP, activation is a two-step process. You must first assign the lines in 
the Administrator software, and then activate the extra lines on the Web UI and restart 
the phone. This final Web UI activation and restart can be done by the end-user of the 
phone or the system administrator. An administrator account is not required to 
activate phone lines on the Web UI.

Note: For more information on the Web UI interface, see Using the Aastra Web UI on 
page 56.

To activate additional phone lines on the WebUI using the Administrator software, do 
the following.

1.  From within the Administrator software, click the 

Phone System

 button. 

2.  In the 

Tasks

 pane, under 

Phones

, click 

Edit Phone

. The 

Select the phone you 

want to edit

 list opens.

3.  Click the phone that you want to edit, then click 

OK

. The 

Confirm the identity of 

the phone

 dialog opens.

4.  Click 

Advanced...

 to open the Aastra Web UI in your web browser.

5.  At the prompt, enter your username and password, then click 

OK

.

Note: For an administrator, the default username is “admin” and the password 
field is "22222". For a user, the default username is "user" and the password field 
is left blank. Either account type allows you to configure extra lines.
